Arthur Garfield Hays, of the counsel for the defense at the Scopes trial in Dayton, Tennessee two years ago, will speak at the Liberal Club at 1.30 o'clock tomorrow. Mr. Hays has been in Russia during the past summer and his talk is expected to be on the results of his observations in the Slavic country.
During recent years the visiting speaker has waged a vigorous fight in his capacity as a lawyer against repressive measures. He is now chief counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union and has figured in many important cases recently. Last spring he came to Boston to defend Mr. H. L. Mencken during his trial here in connection with the publishing of the story "Hatrack" in the American Mercury magazine. The appearance of Mr. Hays will open the Liberal Club's speakers program for the year on which are the names of several noted men whose dates will be announced definitely later.
