Dayton, Tennessee high school teacher John Scopes is indicted for teaching evolution. Judge Raulston, who will preside (badly) over the trial, reads out the first book of Genesis to the Grand Jury. Scopes is charged with “unlawfully and wilfully” teaching “certain theory and theories that deny the story of the Divine creation of man as taught in the Bible and did teach thereof that man has descended from a lower order of animals.”

The Supreme Court rules that Hidemitsu Toyota, who served 7 years in the Coast Guard and applied for citizenship under the law naturalizing “any alien” who served in the military, can’t be a citizen because he’s Japanese (he actually received citizenship in 1921 but it was subsequently revoked) and Congress couldn’t possibly have meant “any alien” to include filthy Japs. The Court also denies the petition of ethnic Chinese who have US citizenship because they were born in the US to bring in their Chinese wives.
I have been unable to determine what happened to Mr. Toyota.
The Supreme Court rules unanimously that it is legal for newspapers to publish the names of income-tax payers and the amounts they paid.
