OFFICERS GIVE AWARDS HOLD CONCLAVE for Jewish Philanthropies AT KANSAS CITY TO THE GUILD Is Preparing for Action New York, (J. T. A.).—A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court by Joseph Lewis,. president of the Freethinkers of America, requesting that the Board of Education be restrained from reading the Bible and the singing of hymns in public schools. Arthur Garfield Hayes, Joseph Wheless and' Stephen B. Vreeland are representing Mr. Lewis, and Clarence Darrow has been retained as counsel. Mr.••Louis, who brought his action as a taxpayer, based his complaint on the fact that the Bible is the Kirg James' version, and therefore "distinc.ly Protestant" and as a conse-raence distasteful to Jewish and Catholic children."
