HEAR LECTURE BY YALE MAN Dr. Charles S. Schuchert Ad- dresses Geological Society Monday Dr. Charles S. Schuchert, emeritus professor of paleontology at Yale university, noted geologist and strat- igrapher and foremost authority on the paleogeography of North Amer- ica, addressed a large gathering of gelogists and men interested in the oil industry here Monday night at a meeting of the Shreveport Geographi- cal society. Doctor Schurchert outlined the trend on modern thought relating to the origin of petroleum deposits. He emphasized the importance of micro- organisms as a source of oil. Doctor Schurchert traced the de- velopment of the paleogeography of North America from earliest times to the present, emphasizing Llanoris, a huge ancient land mass which up to Cretaceous times, he said, occu- pied a large part of Mississippi, Lou- isiana and Texas. He pointed out how the denudation of this great mountain region supplied the great thickesses of materials that now make up the Ouachita and Arbuckle mountains of Oklahoma and Arkan- sas. He brought out the probable origin and age of the Louisiana salt deposits and the influence of Llanor-is upon the structural features now found in the oil fields of Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas. Dr. Schurchert has consented to deliver another address tonight in which he will discuss the fallacies of Wegener's continental displac- ment theory. This theory which has recently been widely discussed by gelogists, postulates the westward migration of the continents whereby the Americas have been separated from Europe and Africa and drifted westward to their present positions. In this theory Wegener endeavors to explain the origin of the Rocky mountains and the Andes mountains and many other features of the earth's geologic history. This meeting will be held tonight at 7:30 o'clock in the city hall.

TUCSON, ARIZONA, SUND ANTI-EVOLUTION LAW SUSTAINED IN SCOPES CASE But Court Refuses to Confirm Conviction, Due to Ille- gal Sentence. CHARGES DISMISSED Judges Unanimously Advise Against Continued Prosecution. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 15 (By The Associated Press)—Tennessee’s supreme court today proclaimed the fundamental soundness of the state's famous law against teaching the theory of evolution in state- supported schools. At the same time it reversed the verdict of guilt against John T. Scopes, whose case was on appeal, and then barred recourse to the United States supreme court by recommending that the case be nolle prossed instead of re-tried. This was done late today and the case dismissed. Without a dissenting vote, court recommended to L. D. Smith, state attorney-general, that the “peace and dignity” of the state would best be served by a nolle prosse, thus ending what the court termed “this bizarre case,” once and for all. Mr. Smith announced he would follow the recommenda- tion and not seek a re-trial. Says Act Uncertain The opinion declaring the law constitutional was delivered by Chief Justice Green and concurred in by two other justices, but Jus- tice McKinney dissented on the ground that the act’s “uncertainty of meaning,” rendered it invalid. The conviction of Scopes, who was a science teacher in Dayton high school, was reversed because Judge John T. Raulston, presiding, fined him $100, when the jury failed to fix a fine. The high court held that only a jury may fix a fine of more than $50 under Tennessee law. While obviously disappointed over the action of the court, counsel for Scopes pointed to certain features as indicating a partial victory for the opponents of the law. Express- ings satisfaction with the dissenting opinion of Justice McKinney, they viewed as favorable also a part of Justice Chambliss’ opinion, which differed in one phase from the majority decision. Agrees Law Is Sound Justice Chambliss, while agree- ing with Chief Justice Green and Justice Cook, as to the organic soundness of the act, declared his belief that the act “only prohibits teaching of the materialistic theory of evolution, which denies the hand of God in the creation of man.” Commenting on this opinion, Henry E. Cotton, attorney for the Tennessee Academy of Science, and an associate in Scopes’ counsel, asserted that this view was not op- p

Cotton, attorney for the Tennessee Academy of Science, and an associate in Scopes' counsel, asserted that this view was not opposed to the known position of many recognized scientists everywhere. SCOPES EXPRESSES DISAPPOINTMENT CHICAGO, Jan. 15 (P)—Disappointment tempered with belief that the Tennessee supreme court's decision did not end the case was expressed by John Thomas Scopes, first violator of the Tennessee anti-evolution law which was upheld today as constitutional. Scopes studying at the University of Chicago under a 2-year scholarship given him by scientists who observed him at the Dayton trial, disappeared from the college campus shortly after he made his brief statement. DECISION A SUBTERFUGE MALONE DECLARES NEW YORK, Jan. 15 (P)—The decision of the Tennessee supreme court to reduce the fine of John T. Scopes to $50 and the recommendation that the case be nolle prossed rather than retried, seems to Dudley Field Malone, one of the defense counsel, a subterfuge typical of a "country court," he said today. "It rests with the Tennessee counsel in the case to decide on the significance of the recommendation that the case be nolle prossed," Mr. Malone said. "Of course, we cannot announce whether or not an appeal to the United States supreme court will be made until we have conferred with counsel in Tennessee." VILL CARPY CASE

FEBRUARY SHOW rades Council to Operate Night Entertainment During Rodeo. Wolvfile, the mythical cow camp made famous by Alfred Henry Lewis in his "Wolvfile Days," the right attraction during the rodeo last year, will again be a feature this year's cowboy festival. The union Central Trades council will have entire charge of the affair and has secured the services of George Pound, originator of last year's successful show, to direct and manage the affair. All of the features of last year's show will be retained, together with hundred and one new attractions and cowboy stunts that will fit in with a typical western cow camp. President Fred Steger of the trades council says that members of the council will operate the entire show and that there will be no "high-pressure" concession men and artists allowed on the grounds. "We are going to operate the show from an educational and amusement standpoint. The 1927 edition of 'Wolvfile' will be held from February 17 to the 22d, and will be better, bigger and grander "every way than last year's famous show," he said. The fourwing members of the trades council acting as an executive committee will have entire charge of the project: J. W. Hopkins, chairman; W. C. Milsap, Fred Steger, Harry DeFord, Tom Scott and L. E. Brewer. In the Legislature PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 15 (F) -- the ease with which Mulford Win-or of Yuma wields the gavel as president of the senate, aided and betted by caustic repartee, reminds the old-timers in the press gallery of Speaker Tom Reed in the national house of representatives some 39 years ago. A southern congressman, repetitive rhetoric but short on logic, close to a point of order, charging that he had been accused of being "lobbyist, filibusterer and lawyer," Reed remarked, dryly: "We will nolle the last charge." Major Kelly, state historian; Billy Spear, editor of the Arizona Republican, and Ned Creighton, dean of the active reporters, daily occupy the press galleries of the legislature. Never has a legislature met without the presence of his editorial triad. Major Kelly insists he comes in only as an onlooker and that he is "through" as chronicler of current events. Mr Spear takes copious notes and appears as intensely interested as his regular reporters. Ned Creighton daily dispenses legislative tidings to the press of the state. Bob Caples, 69-year-old reporter, citizen of the world and, in his own words, a connecting link between the dim past and the present, is daily on the job in the press gallery for a Miami newspaper. Bob shows the activity of a "cub" reporter and the enthusiasm of youth in his daily ramble for news. Forty-five years ago Bob was editor of a newspaper in Tucson, and he recalls with gusto that only through "evacues from saloon and gambling house advertisements was the paper able to meet the Saturday payroll. Fred Suter's sense of humor often is exhibited on the floor of the senate. A senator had arisen several times, and in emphasizing his objections to a bill, had repeated himself so often that he attracted the attention of every one in the chamber--a signal at

A senator had arisen several times, and in emphasizing his objections to a bill, had repeat- ed himself so often that he had at- tracted the attention of every one in the chamber-a signal ac- complishment. The senator from Cochise very formally addressed the chair and asked permission to address a question to his colleague who had the floor at the moment. "Is the senator starting a new speech or he continuing the first speech he started?" Sutter asked with his best seriousness. VACANT HOUSE IS DAMAGED IN FIRE A small fire in a vacant house called the fire department to the corner of Church and Franklin street early yesterday morning, and the blaze was extinguished before any serious damage re- sulted. Yesterday afternoon the depart- ment answered an alarm turned in from North Main street, only to find out that it was a false alarm, thought to have been turned in by boys playing in the neighborhood.

San Diego and Arizona Railway INFORMATION SHORTEST LINE---FASTEST TIME EAST 1. The San Diego and Arizona Railway, completed December 1, 1919, forms in connection with the Southern Pacific and its eastern connections, a new transcontinental route between San Diego and the East. Through Pullman cars are operated between San Diego and Chicago on Golden State Limited in connection with the Southern Pacific and Rock Island Lines, and between San Diego and New Orleans on Sunset Limited in connection with Southern Pacific. It is the terminal railroad of the shortest line between Kansas City and the Pacific Ocean and between New Orleans and the Pacific Ocean. 2. Distance between San Diego and El Centro, 148 miles; (Between San Diego and Yuma, 220 miles). 3. Elevation at Hipass, highest point on line, 3,660 feet; at El Centro, lowest point on line, 49 feet below sea level. 4. Grades: Maximum grade Westbound, 2.2%; Eastbound, 1.4%. 5. Cost of San Diego and Arizona Railway, $19,000,000, and is owned one-half by the J. D. and A. B. Spreckels Securities Company, and one-half by the Southern Pacific Company. 6. Railroad crosses United States-Mexico International Boundary Line at Tijuana and Lindero. Boundary at Lindero is crossed in Tunnel No. 4, 26 feet from the west end. Runs 44 miles through Mexico, known as Lower California. Ten miles is the greatest distance into Mexico from the International Boundary line. 7. There are 21 tunnels on the San Diego and Arizona Railway, one partly in Mexico and partly in the United States. Cost of tunnels, $1,760,200. The longest tunnel, No.14, is 2,597 feet, and the shortest tunnel, No. 1, is 187 feet. The total length of all tunnels is 2.98 miles. When passing through the tunnels, notice that you are not bothered with objectionable fumes and smoke from locomotives, as is usual when trains are operated through tunnels. This is due to the large bore of tunnels, exceptionally light atmosphere, and a slight draft continually passing through Carriso Gorge. 8. Distance through Carriso Gorge is 11 miles, and cost for construction, $3,939,000.00. Depth of Gorge from railroad, 900 feet. Carriso Gorge takes its name from the grass in its depths, which is used by Indians in basket work. Mountains are southerly extension of the Sierra Nevada Range. Notice the 22 fan leaf palms and spring at bottom of Gorge between Tunnels 20 and 21. 9. Campo Creek Viaduct, 77 miles from San Diego. Length, 600 feet. Height, 185 feet. Cost, $115,700.00. 10. The San Diego and Arizona Railway is the only railroad that received permission from the United States Government to continue construction during the entire period of the world war because of the importance of reaching the port of San Diego, where the United States Government maintains an extensive Naval Base. 11. One feature of importance, from the viewpoint of our Government, is that the completion of the San Diego and Arizona forms, in connection with the Southern Pacific, a railroad direct along the Mexican Boundary from the Pacific Coast to the Gulf of Mexico. 12. Tijuana is noted as a Mexican sight-seeing place for tourists. The Lower California Jockey Club holds a 100-day or longer racing meet at Tijuana once each year, which has a large attendance from all over the world. Opening date, Thanksgiving Day. 13. Notice when approaching Redondo westbound or leaving Redondo eastbound, the horseshoe curve where the track can be seen on the mountain side, three different locations at one time. 14. IMPERIAL VALLEY: A desert waste in 1900. Today is an agricultural empire of 531,674 acres under irrigation on the American side, with more than 200,000 acres on the Mexican side. Population, 50,000 in 1923. Shipped in 1923 about 50,000 carloads of products by freight of a value of nearly $50,000,000, including 14,000 carloads of canteloupes and melons, 8,000 carloads of lettuce and vegetables, 125,000 bales of cotton, and 7,000,000 pounds of dairy products. The valley is irrigated from Colorado River, and is perhaps the richest producing farm area in the world. 15. DESERT PLANT LIFE: After leaving Coyote Wells westbound, and continuing up through Carriso Gorge, the desert is covered with many species of desert plants, including many varieties of cacti. In the spring of the year many of these plants are in full bloom, which adds to their beauty. Pictures, together with the names of some of the principal plants, are shown on the reverse side of this sheet. 16. JACUMBA HOT SPRINGS: Summer and winter resort 92 miles from San Diego. Altitude, 2,835 feet; hot and cold artesian mineral water; large outdoor swimming pool; hotel, tent houses, cottages and auditorium. 17. On the "Golden State Route," between San Diego and Yuma, the Inter-California Railway, a part of the Southern Pacific System, is used between Mexicali and Algodones, operating a distance of 52 miles through Mexico. 18. YUMA, on Southern Pacific: Near Yuma is located the Laguna Dam for diverting water from the Colorado River for irrigating purposes. There are 50,000 acres in Arizona irrigated from the Laguna Diversion Dam at this time. Project under way to irrigate 6,400 additional acres of Mesa land within the next year, and eventually there will be 120,000 acres of land under irrigation in the vicinity of Yuma. Climatic conditions provide for the growing of some of the most delicious fruits that are grown anywhere in the world. 19. Ask the conductor, brakeman or observation porter for time that train crosses the International border and passes points of interest. Additional copies of this circular may be had upon application to porter.

(35 What's Behind Winnipeg ? 1. Manitoba stands out pre-eminently among the Provinces of Canada as a field for exploitation. Rich in undeveloped fisheries, in mineral areas, especially in agricultural wealth, it extends, not only to the aspiring and intelligent settler the means of useful independence, but to the capital- ist unlimited opportunity for economic gain. 2. Manitoba's area is 251,832 square miles. This is more than double the area of the British Isles and is greater than the area of Germany, of Spain or of France. It exceeds the combined areas of the states of North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota. The water area of the province covers 15,500 square miles and includes one of the largest inland fisheries in the world. 3. Although Manitoba is world-famed as a prairie agricultural Province, over 75% of its area is wooded. There are over 137,000 square miles of forest land in the Province. There is estimated to be 8,400,000,000 cubic feet of pulp and fuel wood in these areas, including over 28,000,- 000 cords of poplar, 20,000,000 cords of jackpine and 18,000,000 of spruce. 4. Manitoba is fast assuming the role of a min- ing Province. Her resources include antimony, cobalt, copper, gold, iron, lead, molybdenum, nickel, platinum and palladian, silver, tin, tungsten, zinc.
