The basis of these proposals has been worked out In numerous diplomatic exchanges at the various capitals and the powers are now virtually in accord, although certain aspects remain to be cleared up. Although details are lacking, It now seems certain that the settlement formula to be presented by the Peking diplomats will embrace two distinct elements. They are: Convocation of the Chinese customs revision conference with a minimum of delay and creation of a commission to Inquire into extra territorial matters at a date still to be fixed.

An action which may throw the evolution question Into the federal courts for judicial determination as to whether the teaching ol this scientific theory Inculcates disrespect for the Holy Bible has begun here by Loren H. Wlttner, a government employee. The vehicle employed a rider tc the 1925 District of Columbia appro priatlon bill, which provides that "nc. part of this sum (for the public schools) Bhall be available for the salary of any superintendent who permits the teaching of or any teachei who teaches disrespect for the Holy Bible." The action is In the nature of ar Injunction proceeding directed at the auditor and disbursing officer of the District of Columbia and Frank White treasurer of the United States, to pro hlbit them from making further pay ments of salaries to Frank W. Bal lou, superintendent of schools, and W P. Hay, head of the department of bi ology and chemistry in the Washing ton high schools. Immediately upon the filing of the proceedings, Justice Siddons of the District of Columbia supreme couri issued a rule on the two District of flcials, Daniel J. Donovan, and Jame; R. Lusby, and Mr. White, directed them to appear to show cause why an Injunction should not issue them. against In his petition, Wittner sets fortl that he brings the suit In his owi right as a taxpayer. After the filing of the suit he declared he was acting for himself. He is represented by Attorney B. M. Dolby and J. N. Tor vestad, young Washington lawyers." Explaining that the case here dif fers widely from that tried at Dayton Tenn., Attorney Dolby said the loca courts would be asked to interpret the" words disrespect for the Holy Bible, and that this should allow ar Infinite amount of evidence froir scientists, religious liberals, funda mentalists, clergymen and educational leaders. In the Dayton case, he added, the sole question was if a state statue had been violated and since admittedly it had been, the courts were left to de cide only that question and the higher courts would be without jurisdiction on the question as to whether the law itself is In conflict with the constitu tlon. In his petition Wittner alleges eleven specific instances In which Ballou and Hay either teach or permit to be taugh matter contradicting the lit eral words of the Bible. He referred directly to G. W. Hunters biology, cited In the Dayton trial, as one of the approved textbooks in the Washington high schools, and said this and other textbooks conflicted with the scriptural text.

Sunday Bryan The man who had won and held the title of The Great Commoner," and whom many predicted would again emerge into the political limelight as a candidate for the presidency on the religious issues raised by the Dayton evolution trial, passed peacefully, apparently worn out by the strain of the recent dramatic events here. The Commoner was sleeping when the end came. No one was with him. Dr, A. C. Broyles and Dr. W. F. Thomason stated that death was caused by a hemorrhage of the brain, causing apoplexy. Mrs. Bryan was seated on the porch looking through the screen door during the entire time Mr. Bryan was asleep. She said- she thought the Commoner was sleeping longer than usual and did not want to disturb him. Mr. Bryan, who had come here three weeks ago to attend the scopes trial, had spent Saturday at Winchester and Chattanooga, coming here by automobile. At 11 oclock July 26th he attended services at the Methodist Episcopal church. South. He led in prayer and after the benediction went to the home of Mrs. Richard Rogers, where he and Mrs. Bryan have been making their home since coming to Dayton. The dinner hour was spent with Mrs. Bryan. There were no guests at dinner. Mr. Bryan dte with relish, then retired to his room to rest. The exact hour when death came Is not known. Mrs. Stevens, the nurse who is constantly with Mrs. Bryan, who for years has been an invalid, passed through Mr- - Bryans room at four oclock. She noticed a strange pallor on the face. She bent over him. He was dead. Mrs. Bryan was when told that the end had come for her illustrious husband. A sob, a tear then she took charge of the situation. She addressed messages to their son and daughter, telling of their fathers death.' The news spread over the village and countryside; the people of Day-toloved Bryan. He stood as the champion of their cause, for most of these people are Democrats and most of the men of the older generation had voted for Mr. Bryan in his free silver campaign for the presidency. Mr. Bryan had gone to Chattanooga Saturday to have printed the address he had expected to make before the jury in the scopes trial. He had not been able to "make the address because of the sudden termination of the trial. The address was a defense of the fundamentalists. ; Saturday, before going to Chattanooga, Mr. Bryan had delivered an address at Winchester, Tenn. He spent the night of July 25th with A. W. Lesley, owner and manager of the Ross hotel, and they motored to Day-tonext morning. Mr. Bryan was cheerful and enthusiastic over the prospect of his latest lecture, which he was scheduled to deliver July 27th. It was entitled, What Can I Do With ; Jesus? ; Mr. Bryan prayed fervently at church Sunday morning said F. E. Robertson, who attended church with Mr. Bryan. He appeared to enjoy the services and went home saying he would have dinner with his wife and spend the afternoon resting quietly. Mr. Bryans final act before detir-into his room was to call over long distance George F. Milton, Chattanooga publisher, asking him to complete arrangements for the printing of the speech which was to have been delivered at the Scopes: trial, but which was prevented by its unexpect' ed termination. He also informed Mr. Milton that he had declined the request of' a syndicate to write a series of articles in reply to one to be written by Clarence Darrow on the subject of evolution. My fight is with the modernists in the church and not with agnostics, Mr. Bryan told Mr. Milton. Mrs. Bryan was the only member of the family in Dayton when he died.
