Hines Says Fire Of Anti-aircraft Guns Improving Better In Accuracy' And "Volume," Tests Demonstrate Trials Are Outgrowth of Controversy July Substantial progress in development of anti-aircraft Are in "accuracy and volume" has been noted by Major General John L. Hines, chief of staff, from reports of the first phases of the extensive program summer test firing inaugurated by the war department ag a result of the controversy over aircraft matters before last session. The tests are being made.

at Fort Tiden, N. San Francisco: Fort Barrancas, Florida, and In Hawall. A report to Acting Secretary Davis by: General Hines, public tonight shows that results "gratifying to those responsible for the development of anti-aircraft artillery" had been obtained at Fort Tilden during the last week with both 3 inch guns and machine rifle fire against targets towed seventy miles an hour at A11 Coast Artillery manned the guns, The 3 inch batteries fired 445 shots in 8 minutes and forty seconds at a target totwed seventy miles an hour at an elevation of 6.000 feet for a distance of about two and one-half miles. "While one target was shot down and lost at sea," General Hines said summarizing the results, "seven holes were counted in the targets recovered. This means that each of the two batteries scored a hit three times a minute, "The percentage of hits scored, 5.6, one hit each 18 shots fired, is about six times as many hits as have been claimed for the firing at the end of the world war." During the May, and June test by the 13th Coast Artillery at Fort Barrancas, Florida.

the 3 inch gung attained a "notably high" percentage of hits, General Hines asserted, the figure being 9.6 percent out of 146 rounds fired at target under conditions similar to those at Fort Tilden. Fourteen hits or five per battery per minute were recorded: At San Francisco, where the 63rd Coast Artillery conducted the test, the inch guns fired eighty shots in tour 3 minutes and scored nine hits, one practice target being brought down in six shots. Range, altitude and speed in these tests have not been reported. The San Francisco machine guns pumped out 4.000 rounds at an average range of 700 yards and twenty holes in the target were counted.

Scopes trial in Tennessee can but set scientife civilization and religious faith back a generation, salt the Rev. James Sheerin, of the Beacon Episcopal Church. In his sermon at Christ Episcopal Church, this city, Sunday morning. Mr. Sheerin censured the loud mouthed Intolerance displayed by partisans of both sides in the case, saying there la no real conflict between the bible's story of creation and the intelligent scientist's conception of it.

Mr. Sheerin spoke on the subject, "Evolution and Evil Notions." "The Scopes Trial in Tennessee offers a great temptation to use superlatives and sensational headings," said Mr. Sheerin. "To use subject 'Evolution and Notions' is surrendering somewhat to the temptation, but there is a fairly good reason. It is a dubious law that never should have been enacted In any state, and it is liable to make a great many.

too willing martyrs. as well as permanently Injure the cause of truth. The man chosen for trial might have been several anybody: else in Behina are groups eager for publicity. One is the citizenry of the, little town: who seemed to snatch at a chance to. have Dayton made famous the world, over.

Another is 'a group of lawyers whose nature is. of the aggressive fame seeking type. With the lawyers goes a minister from York who had sought every opportunity to himself prominence by the troubles of his brethren in other denominations. I One could easily laugh the" thing out of the court if it were not for the tragic way it is taken by others. A few newspapers have what seems to' me the right attitude, They protest against such a trial on the editorial page.

They plainly de-, scribe its absurdities in their news and" able spectat ents picture. its general aspects in satirical language. The more fully this is done by the newspapers the less. likely is such a disgraceful trial happen again. The circus and the vaudeville elements in a farcical tragedy deserve all the limelight that, clever journalists give them.

A rumor that efforts had been made by Lawson to settle some of the civil claims was -given support 'Saturday.

However, lawyers appearing for the administrators of the persons who were killed, denied that they had been approached by Lawson's attorneys. Such action! is unlikely as the liability has not yet been established and as Casius M. Lawson, father of the driver of the death has admitted that he owns the car and that his son drove it with his full permis-. sion. This fact leads lawyers in the case to believe that the father would be liable in civil actions.

Coroner John A. Card will continue with the interrogation of witnesses this week and the inquest will not be closed until some of the statements have been further verifled.
