 Owing to the bad state of the trails in that section, the work of hauling the new compressor and other mine equipment for the Independence has been greatly delayed, according to Manager 8. P. Fitzgerald, who returned from a trip to the property few days ago. MT. Fitzgerald stated that teams
 employed in freiShting the equipment during the past week could get no farther than Glacier creek, a short distance below the Independence and the use of double enders and man power would be necessary to cover the balance of the way to the property. As the new outfit, in addition to a Slaton compressor, includes nearly 30 tons of other material and SUD- plies, the work of getting it to the mine under present condit- ions is a distinctly sizeable one.

 lers Break Up Meeting

PARIS. April 2S.- Communist heck lers broke up political meeting ad- dressed by Deputy Andre Tardieu in a Paris suburb last night, after repeatedly dragging him off the platform. NJ. Tar dieu was badly bruised in the scuffling and a sleeve was torn from his coat. This is the second experience of the kind he has had within week since begin ming his election campaign. He was French high commissioner in the United States during the war.
 In the scuffle with his antagonists, M. Tardieu showed himself no mean fighter, coming back at the attacking heckles with right and left swings and more than once succeeded in regaining the platform. He finally succumbed to superior numbers, but fought back along every inch of this retreat. The deputy was not deterred by the violence encountered at this meeting from an nouncing his intention to attend three political meetings this evening, one of which will be in the communist strong hold of Argenteuil.

That effort was somewhat scotched when Secretary Weeks, on the stand. declared that he did not believe the President had made any such state ment, and that certainly he had said nothing of the sort to him; and com pletely scotched later when the Presi- dent issued n1s statement denying that he had said anything on which Miller could have based his dispatch.
 Norris, however, is determined, 1t ap- pears, to connect the President and Ford in the Muscle Shoals link, and in- dicated this afternoon that he would be successful when he got Liebold on the stand. He added that before the proceedings are concluded he would have Mir. Ford on the stand if that be hu- manly possible.

 WASH[NGTONHALL.
 SCIENCE TEMPLE.
President Eulogizes Prog ress In Dedication Of
 New Building

WASHINGTON, April 2S. = De scribed by President Coolidge as 'The Temple of Science in America" the new home of the National Academy of Science and the new National Re search council was dedicated today by the science ito betterment of the hu- man race by achieving clearer knowl- edge of the truth"
 The dedicatOry address was made by President Coolidge who set the gov ernment's stamp of approval on the work of the two organizations and pre- dicted the rising of sun, destined to illuminate the scientific world by illumi- hating this hall"
 OyerIOoks Potomac
 The new building, erected at cost of million and half dollars on site overlooking the Potomac river and nearby to the Lincoln Memorial will serve as a meeting place fer the two organizations. The dedication today inaugurated the annual meeting of the Academy of Sciences and A. A. Michel
 Public interest in the new building will be centered in series of exhibits, not like those in museems, but ar ranged so that the visitor may perform the experiment or verify the discoveries 
 they present.
 Any visitor who enters the building unconvinced that the earth turns around may verify the rotation for himself by watching the swing of the faucault pendulum suspended from the center of the dome. The visitor also may see the effects of the collision of atoms and tracks of the flying particles with the alpha particles driven off from the atoms of radium at speed of 10000 miles a second.
 Wonders Displayed
 The pressure of light, which was un- suspected, even by scientists, until re- gently; the perpetual dance of mi croscopic particles of matter due to the jostling of the molecules and a view of the outside world as it would look had humans the power of seeing by the dark light" of the ultraviolet rays, are among the other exhibits to be seen in the building.
 The dedication ceremonies were sad dened because of the death five days ago in New York of Betram Grosve- nor Goodhue. architect of the building, which is regarded as his masterpiece.
 President Coolidge, in his address, traced the intimate relationships which from the days of Benjamin Franklin have existed between science and the American government, and declared that Eff there be one thing in which America is preeminent. it is a disposition to follow the truth
 Tt is the same spirit" he declared, that has moved through all our life, which makes it particularly appropriate that our national government should be activbe in it's encouragement of the searching out of the truth in the physi- cal world and applying it to the well being of the people as it is interested in the spreading out of the truth in the political world with the same ob- jective in view"
 Pointing to the declaration of Wash ington in his farewell address for pro- motion of institution" for ''the general diffusion of knowledge, President Cool idge said: "The beginning of our gov ernment therefore had to do with the inception of scientific research in the United States. io |
