Japanese Living Cost Drops Toklo OP) The cost of living in Japan has decreased 7.6 percent since last January, according to figures recently made public.

JOHNSON be moonshiners, sellers of bottled soda water, wearers of red neckties and socks, and other such successes Tennessee, and it never occurred them to regard. a school book a menace. This was principally because their pastors knew as little any science as they did of the English' language, grammar, or the spirit of the gentle Jesus. it was Mr. Bryan who pointed out 'the ruling fathers that there was such a thing as evolution.

Mr. Bryan read it in a book, a big book. No more fit man could have been tho agent to startle the farmers. His fashion of intelligence is theirs. His line of thought Is theirs.

When he says that any illiterate plow-boy, who beliuves in the Bible, is a better theologian than any scientist in the United States, he states a fact that seizes them in a death-grip. When he reiterates endlessly that science teaches that some not remote grandfather, possibly Just back of Grampap Hawkins, was a monkey, that becomes their conception of evo. lution. When he says that it takes neither the ability to write nor to read to comprehend the greatest book ever written, thus abolishing all theological seminaries and Biblo study schools, Fundamentalists cry, "Amen!" 'The Fundamentalist world is Mr. Bryan's oyster.

Their pastors did them no good. They have, In fact, done them harm. In a Fundamentalist pastor there nothing resembling justice or fairness or decency. Within a week In Dayton one had attempted by the most foul means to get on the Scopes Jury, attempted so brazenly and so eagerly that even the Fundamental ists had to laugh; one had prepared to place under arrest an Innocent Methodist preacher, an enemy of the Baptist zealot, because he jumped to the conclusion that Watson Davis, writer of the Science Service articles on the Scopes trial In The Eagle, was an assumed name used by this peaceful Methodist brother to sink harpoon Into the Baptist church; one had come out in print In the Chattanooga papcra with the direct statement that one of the lawyer for the Scopes' defense was fighting; drunk on an evening when, as the minister could have learned for himself by a single telephone call, th attorney was helping his wife hang pictures In a house taken for the duration of the trial. In each of these instances there was a venom that appeared nowhere else, neither In lay nor professional parties to the case.

it was under such direction that the Fundamentalists of Tennessee were goaded into believing that a group of high-brows, fresh from dabbling in theories, were there to send their souls to hell. It is under suqiK direction that Fundamentalists the country over will hang on tho Bryan banner, and think as he thinks' and parrot what he says. Their one slogan, "Do you believe your grandfather was a monkey?" Is worth 1,000,000 votes. Mr. Bryan's epigram about the signer of the pay-cheek will attract another million.

"These evolutionists are wrong by plain facts," a Tennessee ancient told me. "I 72, a right smart age, and I can look back myself a long way and I can't see that people have changed any In appearance." It Is possible that if these Fundamentalists of the lower order were left to themselves they would he content to mlseducate only their own children. No idea of a' crusade would ever enter their heads. Their energy would not permit It. And rightly so.

They could teach their children that the earth was flat, as It says in the Bible, that the sun moves around the world, as It says there also, that witches should be burned, and In time they would exterminate themselves trying to force recalcitrant brothers to accept the same creeds. But they won't be left to themselves.

President Harry A. Garfield of Williams College said today in an address for mally opening the institute's fifth annual session.

"The object of the institute is hu manistic, it is also vital," the speaker said, "Unless men meet on a com mon ground to discuss differences in order that common purposes may be discovered, there Is no hope of peace In the world. We have discovered that many things formerly regarded as justifiable causes ot war can be avoided by open and informal discussion betwen official and unofficial representatives of the nations.

Frank Auditore must remain in Raymond Street Jail, at least until Sept. 11, as the result of a decision handed down today by Justice William F. Hagarty, who declined to believe the fanciful tales of reckless extravaganco and vast expenditures for pleasure told by Auditore In his effort to prove himself a poor man.

Auditore Is Judgment debtor to th tune ot more than $340,000. The heaviest judgment was obtained' by his sister-in-law, Mrs. Giuseppina Auditore Parascandola, widow of Ids brother, Joseph Auditore, who sued as a partner of the Auditore Company, stevedores, and charged Frank with diverting the firm's treasury his own uses. Frank overtaxed the credulity of Justice Hagarty. however, by saying there was nothing left of th $100,000 In Liberty bonds Rnd $250,000 In cash which he obtained from 1920 to 1923.

Auditore said that part of the Liberty bonds were turned over to his wife, was Invested In German marks; that he spent $25,000 for diamonds for i woman who accompanied him to Europe in 1923 and that the expensei of the trip were that $93,000 which he had left after the European junket was put In a hank, that he gave $30,000 to his brother James; that he took a trip to Cuba, accompanlef by a woman lor wnom he bought $7,600 wotrth of clothes and that, she stole $2,000 In cas'i from him besides some Jewelry: that he lost $35,000 in the races in Cuba nd that thettrip cost him more than $50,000. Concerning me'iorcgoinK siaieineTii and the schedules submitted by Auditore, Justice Hagarty said: "I am not satisfied that the petition and schedules are correct and that the petition Is just and fair. The petitioner has failed to account to mv satlsfatclon for the Liberty the $25,0,000 in cash." VETERAN NEWSMAN OUT OF HOSPITAL William Ferguson Back on Job in- Bedford Section.

IT Is not easy for a person moving In a fairly enlightened community behind-' the prosecution of the Tennessee school teacher Scopes. A circus this trial may have been to readers afar, but in Dayton and to William Jennings Bryan and the hill-billies of Tennessee It was a grim and desperate battle. They fought, and they plan still to fight, what they regard as an assault on their road to salvation. When they promise a Constitu tional Amendment outlawing the study of- evolution, they promise iomething that la not only possible but actually probable. The Tennessee ruralites may be, each and every one of them, half literate, wholly uncultured and bigoted beyond belief, but each has, at the same time, a vote as valid and as pnwenui as any cast in New York or Boston.

Such an amendment to the Constitution of the United States is almost certain. The clarion call has been sounded. Dayton was the battle that stamped the Issue as war. The leader is already girt for the fray, a tierce old man with malignant eyes and the frenzy of a member of the Inquisition. The Fundamentalists are now with the colors.

They have tasted blood. More, they have tasted victory. They are ready for greater grapples. Dayton and Tennessee are not tne most feverish of Fundamental communities, nor even the second worst. The cult is not even confined to the South.

It exists in the West, according to newspaper men gathering at Dayton for the trial, anu it exists In New York in no mean degree. Calculating on the basis of reports brought to Dayton by scouts, official and unofficial, from all parts of the country. It has a strength greater today than the Prohibition Amendment force had 40 years after It started. Without doubt the Idea will be laughed at, as the possibility of a prohibition amendment was laughed at a few years ago. But, asked the attorneys for the defense, what Is to stop It? Is It unconstitutional? Less so than the 18th Amendment, they say.

And this, furthermore, they point out: The Tennessee statute Is, for all its naivete, an extremely shrewd and adroit law. If one challenges It with the cry of religious free dom, the answer is that religion Is not taught in schools. Thus, there is no violation there. The temples. the churches and the cathedrals are still open.

If an argument is that tne sruoy of evolution does not conflict with the Biblical account of the creation of the world, the rebuttal Is that If a student is expected to inter rrom his textbook that this Is simply an alternate and, at bottom, Identical account, why then should he not study the Bible and Infer the evolu tlonary account 1 The Fundamentalist strategists maintain that, as Mr. Bryan maintains, the people who foot the bills should direct the course. That. too. is a difficult nut to crack.

It savors so thoroughly of logic. It is of no use whatever to point out that civilized people delegate specialized duties to men trained In them, such as physicians, arcnuects. oentisis, lawyers and so on. So much they concede, but there Is no concession whatever when specialized duties ap proach their souls and their souls salvation. That.

In brief. Is what the Fundamentalists think of their mobiliza tion, as a defense of their souls. Armies may land In New York and airplanes snoop down on San Francisco, and the Tennesscean will remain unmoved and unstirred within. but when the forces of hell begin to descend on the road to Paradise, or when he imagines thatthey are so descending, then he rouses himself, takes down his double-barrelled shot gun and prepares to shed blood. They never thought of it nve years ago.

Their children went to school, studied evolution and grew up to NOTICK TO CONTRACTORS. INSTRUCTIONS TO HtDDERS OS WORK TO BE DONE KOi OR HUPPI.IBS TO HE TO THB CITV OK NEW YORK.

Japan will forfeit the sympathy of the whole world." Two Cause for Exclusion. Mr.

Hanihara then goes on to say that there ere two causes underlying the exclusion of Japanese from America. "One is racial," he writes, "and the other is economic. Perhaps when the economic trouble is ove. there will be no racial trouble. If economic friction exists between the Japanese and the Americans In the L'nited States, a racial struggle is sure to follow.

"The question of Immigration Is a very delicate one. and the Japanese should be very careful not to excite anger and misunderstanding. Japau should present Iwr views at the cor-rect time, with public opinion as the background." That Japan really does not want to InslHt on her people being admitted unrestrictedly Into America Is the next point taken up by the lormer Ambassador. Blames Propaganda for ulled States Attitude. "There are not a few persons in America who think that Japan really wants her Immigrants admitted into the L'nited States." hj writes.

"Japan has repeatedly presented her views on immigration, but somehow the American people have to appreciate the real circum-Hances. The reason for this seems to be that the average American hns little enthusiasm or time to study a' problem with which he or she is little concerned. The average American falls to understand the problem properly, due to the propaganda of anti-Japanese groups." In concluding his article, Mr. Hanihara says that the real need Is for the Japanese, people to appeal to the public opinion of America, "for it Is essential that the insistence of the Japanese people on the immigration question be known clearly. "I do not know if the movement started by the America-Japan Rela-tions Committee will succeed 10 any appreciable extent, but the mo-live and the spirit which prompted tlid movement should be taken in faith." Hanihara Warns Japanese To Avoid Offending America On the Exclusion Issue By ALFRED K.

1MERES. 1 Special Correspondence 0 The Knlri Toklo. July 1- -Masanao Hanihara of "grave consequences" fame, writing in the Kokuniln (Nation) on the Immigration bill today, counscleo his countrymen remain calm and not become excited. "I think the solution of the immigration problem will be realized only when the problem is really understood by the American people in general," he writes. It is reported, that Mr.

Hanihara. who was Japanese Ambassador In Washington until one year ago, will hrt appointed Japanpo Ambassador to the Court of St. James's when Karon Hayashl. the present Incum bent of that office, letlres. It is pos sible that Mr.

Hanihara will lenvi Japan this year, as Baron Hayashl Is known to be ilc.ii'ous of returning home. "I have been out of touch with the latest Information regarding Ame: -lean-Japanese Issues," Mr. Hanihara writes, "but 1 note lhat a certain understanding seems to have bee.i reached between the two nations. I.i this connection 1 may mention that I have observed that public opinion In the United States is beginning 1 reflect whether it was necessary to exclude the Japanese In the manner resorted to a year ago." I'rgcs People to 11c alm. After declaring that he was heart and soul with those Japanese who do not want to forget "the troubled davs of a year ago and remain calm if.

though nothing has happened," th former Ambassador to Washington counsels his people against getting unduly excltea. "I do not wish the Japanese to gr; excited and fly In the face of America," he writes, "for if this Is doiw, II will only tend to make the Americans moro cantankerous. Japan does not Intend to force its emigrants Into America. If this is clearly understood by the American people, some way ought to be found to solve this problem.
