Pittsburg, Pa, April 12.-Without
any change in the official programme
the first days proceedings in connec-
ton with the rededication of the pala-
tial Carnegie Institute of Pittsburg
were enacted in the presence Of the
most distinguished audience of Euro
pean and American dignitaries ever
assembled in the city. While the
ceremonies were in progress in the
institute building Frederick Slagel, an
alleged anarchist, tried to force his
way into the lobby of the Hotel Schen-
ley, block away, and was promptly
taken into custody. An open penknife
was found concealed under the mans
cuff. Slagel gave his age as 33 years
and residence as Los Angeles, Cal.
He talked incoherently but the police
finally discovered that Slagel wished
to speak with Andrew Carnegie re-
garding patent for milking cows.
Every possible effort to avoid such
occurrences had been taken by the
police. Over 200 uniformed officers
were on the ground in addition to
many detectives.
Invited Guests Are Welcomed.
The ceremonies in connection with
the rededication of the institute began
when William N. Frew, president of
the board of trustees, welcomed the
invited guests from England, Germany,
France, Belgium, Holland, South Amer
ica, Canada and the United States in
the founders room of the institute.
The meeting was informal and was
held to introduce the guests.
Immediately following this Mayor
George w. Guthrie of Pittsburg and
Mrs. Guthrie held a municipal recep-
tion in the foyer. They were assisted
by Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie,
and President and Mrs. Frew present
ed the guests. At the close of the
reception the museum and galleries
of fine art, including the international
annual exhibition of paintings, were
inspected. The tour of inspection gave
the visitors the first complete view of
the institute building. The exercises
were marked in their simplicity.
Procession to Institute.
Following the noon recess the for
NAL rededication exercises were held
All the invited guests assembled in
the main foyer of the Hotel Schenley
where, under the direction of George
Wilson, grand marshal, they were
formed into ranks and proceeded to
the institute, more than a block away
under escort of the faculty and stu
dents of the Carnegie Technical
schools. The procession passed
through a double line of students,
dressed in white, which extended all
along the route of the parade. The
foreign and American guests who were
entitled to wear academic dress, did
so and this feature tended to make
the procession one of dignity.

to the east entrance to the institute
bled in the music hall where the ex-
ercises took place.
