Nashville, Tenn., May 31

The "Scopes evolution case" which attracted world-wide attention last year, in which Mr. Scopes, a school master, was charged with teaching evolution.in the state schools, revived to-day with an appeal before the State of Tennessee Supreme Court, in which Mr. Scopes' counsel, with a carefully prepared argument, tacks the law on the ground that jolates the constitutions of the United States and of the State of Tennessee, which guarantee liberty of conscience, religion and speech.

On the other hand Mr. William Jennings Bryan, Jr, has submitted written argument in support of the anti-evolution law.—Reuter.
