No Agreement Reached
On Riverton Impasse
b the Associated Press.


RICHMOND, Va, May 30.-High-
way Commissioner Henry G. Shir-
ley said after telephone CONVEX
sation with Thomas H. Macdonald,
chief of the Federal Bureau of
Public Roads, yesterday no agree
ment has been reached on the ques-
ton of rebuilding two bridges at
Riverton.
However, the commissioner said
the Federal official would be sup
piled with the State plans, and it
is hoped the impasse that has tied
up about S6000,000 in Federal and
State road funds soon would be
ended.
Mr.. Shirley pointed out that the
States plans for widening the Riv-
erton bridges over the north and
south forks of the Shenandoah Riv-
er to "a feet and making them of
standard load capacity were nearly
complete.
Last week the Virginia commits
sioner reported the United States
authorities were withholding sane
ton of the expenditure of about
100000 in Federal aid for Vir-
einia highways pending State &C
ton on their request that new
bridges be built at Riverton. Ap-
proximately the same amount of
State matching funds also remain
tied up as result of the impasse.

Man Who Hurmonizes Bible
And Science, Tells of His Work
Dr. Rimmer, Here for Lectures, Bomes
Translation for So-CoIIed Errors

Thousands of questions, ostensibly
pointing to scientific error in biblical
records of Jonahs three day sojourn
in whales interior, of Joshua's
fruitful plea that the sun be made
to stand still and other controver-
sial incidents in the Scriptures pour
each year into the Offices of DR..
Harry Runners Research Science
Bureau at Denver, Colo.
The bureau has had a standing
offer for more than 10 years of $lOO
to any person who can prove the
existence of a scientific error in the
Bible.
DR.. Rimmer, an enthusiastic man
who spends his time correlating SCI
ence and the Scriptures, not simply
for the doubling Thomases" but for
the advancement of all mankind,
sat in his suite at the Willard Hotel
yesterday and told how these ques-
tions have been successfully an
swered, with the original $100 still
in the bureaus account.
The significant feature pointed out
by DR.. Rimmer is that dozen ques-
tions cover queries coming in from
thousands of sources-"12 questions
attempting to show scientific error
in as many facts seen in a printed
word, many parts of which relate to
events occurring 1000 years ago."
Translation Blamed.
Jonah and Joshua figure in the
IL. Others include biblical state
ments about which Dr. Rimmer has
written volumes, based on findings
of the bureaus research staff in
every section of the world.
Most of the IL intended stump
ers' are being discussed by DR..
Rimmer in a series of Bible study
lectures this week, sponsored by the
Columbia College of Christian Edu-
cation at the Metropolitan Baptist
Church. Sixth and A streets NE.
His talks are heard at 2:30 and 7:45
pm. each day
Much of the misunderstanding of
facts in the Bible is due to inaccu-
racy in translation, DR.. Rimmer
pointed out, one instance of this in
accuracy being evident in the ac-
count of Joshua and the sun.
Joshua's Command Misread.
Joshua did not command the sun
to stand still nor did he call on God
to make the sun stand STILL" DR..
Rimmer commented, explaining that

the verb used in the original Hebrew
is correctly translated to mean

mer also called attention to the in
accuracy of the use of the verb
phrase stand still to apply to the
sun, as the sun is fixed or standing
still at the outset
DR.. Rimmer stated further that
Joshua's forces. after routing the
enemy, refused to pursue the fleeing
foe due to extreme exhaustion,
caused partially by the intense heat
of sun beaming from a cloudless
sky. The prophet then called on
God, DR.. Rimmer continued. to
quiet" the sun and a storm fol-
lowed, with a cloud obscuring the
scorching rays.
DR.. Runners next book, the sixth
volume in series harmonizing the
Bible and science, will be The An
tiquity Of Man in which he will
attempt to disprove theories of the
evolutionists. Based on archeologi-
cal research of dozens of experts, the
book will describe the existence of a
highly cultured race of men existing
before the so-called Stone Age.
Harmony Held Apparent.
I'VE have nothing to prove that
the man of today started as beast
like creature and gradually became
his cultural self" DR.. Rimmer point
ed out. "On the contrary, in the
world of today we have stone age
peoples in more primitive religions,
the wooden age men of Australia,
as we'll as our metal age Western
civilization"
DR.. Rimmer described an Egyp-
tian knife taken from an ancient
tomb. The blade was of stone and
the handle of gold, engraved on one
side with ancient Egyptian HERO
glyphics.
1--WE can see in that knife several
ages existing simultaneously" he
said. 'The stone age is present in
the blade. The metal age shows up
in the handle. And on the handle
a literary age is apparent"
"A harmony of modern science
and the Bible is becoming more ap-
parent every day." DR.. Rimmer said.
And even SO, the trivialities which
some consider debatable are. and
have been, far overshadowed by fun
damental truths which cannot be
disputed"

Third Dredge Called
To inAirport Site
By Christmas
New Equipment to Speed
Work by z Months;
Flying by Spring Seen

Filling of the Washington Ma
tional Airport at Gravelly Point will
be completed by Christmas, it was
estimated today following the an
nouncement that third giant con-
tract dredge has been authorized
and soon will join two of the largest
commercial dredges in the United
States on the airport job.
The two dredges, aided by the
Army Engineer Corps dredge Tai
colt now are moving sand and gravel
into the airport at the rate of co.
900 cubic yards a day, or 1,8500 900
cubic yards a month.
Operations of the third contract
dredge, said to be one of the largest
available along the Central Atlantic
Coast, is expected to reduce by at
least two months the length of time
originally estimated for completion
of the fill. February, 1910, it was
estimated at the time the contract
work began. was the earliest possible
date for completion of the hydraulic
fill.
Completion Of the fill by Christ
mas would make possible the COM
pletion of runway work and other
construction operations on the land
ing field itself in time for flying
operations next spring, it is esti-
mated.
Final plans now are being drawn
for the relocation of the portion of
Mount Vernon highway through the

between the new research laboratory
buildings of the Bureau of Public
Roads and the railroad yards, which
will be screened from the road by a

j. ). Mediators
Seek 10 Avert
Strike Here
Building Loborers
Threaten WuIkout
For Higher Pay

Labor Department conciliators
moved today in an effort to avert
a strike of 1900 building laborers
on major construction projects here,
scheduled to begin Monday.
Howard T. Colvin, one of the de-
partment's conciliators, who aided
in settling the hotel strike this
winter, was in contact with leaders
of the International Hod Carriers
and Building Laborers' Union, Local
"a, and of the Associated General
Contractors. seeking a basis for
settlement.
Mr.. Colvin expressed the hope
that he would be able to avert the
strike, which would halt work on
nearly lis building projects here
and would cause a loss of 100000
a week in wages.
According to Larry Kelly, presi-
dent of Local "a, this is the first
strike called by the local laborers.
Locals 745 of Hyattsville, Md, and
1179 Of Alexandria. Va, have voted
to join the walkout he said.
Seek Wage Increases.
The laborers seek wage increases
over those provided in their agree
ment with the contractors, which
expired May !. For unskilled
workers, the union demands so cents
an hour and for skilled workers.
95 cents an hour. Under the old
agreement, the unskilled received
10 cents an hour, the skilled 80
cents.
The strike, Mr.. Kelly said, would
bring to halt work on these
projects: The Mellon Art Gallery.
the Jefferson Memorial, Government
Printing Office, the National Health
Institute at Bethesda, Md; the
Census and Social Security build
ings. the Municipal and Juvenile
Court buildings, Gallinger Hospital,
the Department. of Agriculture Re-
search Building at Beltsville. Md:
the Alexandria telephone building,
barracks and officers quarters at
Fort Belvolr, Va, air. conditioning at
the Mayflower Hotel and other
places.
Heavy Jobs Not Affected.
Mr.. Kelly said the strike would
not affect work on a number of
heavy construction jobs here, such
as the Thomas Circle tunnel and
several bridge and sewer projects.
The agreement between the union
and the contractors was signed two
years ago and is operative until a
new contract is signed. Frank j.
Sheehan, secretary treasurer OF. the
Master Builders Association, said
negotiations had been going on for
some time between the contractors
and the union.
The requested increases would not
become effective until February /,
1910, according to union demands,
when most of the present construc-
tlon will have been completed.
Hosting and Operating Engineers
and Truck Drivers Unions have
agreed not to cross picket lines dur
Ing the strike, Mr.. Kelly stated.
