The dedication exercises were marked' by addresses by Governor Gifford Pinchot, Mayor W. F. Freeland Kendrick and others. "Fittingly is this State called the Keystone State of this mighty republic," declared Governor Pinchot in his address. "It is not only in tradition that Pennsylvania holds proud rank as the first State in the Union.

In population she holds second place in the Union. In industry, Pennsylvania produced last year more than $800,000,000 worth of mining products, more than a quarter of the total produced by the forty-eight states of the Union." TOLERATION FOR RELIGION SOUGHT BALTIMORE, May 29. Religious toleration was recommended yesterday by a special committee of fifteen, appointed by the Pres byterian General Assembly at Columbus last year to find means of preventing the threatened schism between modernists and funda mentalists, as a panacea for the ills growing out of theological dis cussions which are occupying national attention. Reporting to the Presbyterian General Assembly here, the committee, headed by the Rev. Dr.

Henry C. Swearingen, of St. Paul, recognized that discussion of the issue was inevitable but urged the exercising of "patience and forbearance." The committee's report will be discussed on the floor of the assembly Monday. It is regarded as certain that the latent bitterness of both factions will be brought out. Both toleration and outlawing of slander among the clergy and laity were urged upon the assembly.

Ihe reports chief recommenda-toin was that, "while welcoming the discussion of great theological ana practical issues," the committee recognizes "the duty of exercising patience and forbearance, and of refraining from public expression of hasty or harsh judgments of the motives of brethren whose hearts are fully known only to God." It laid particular emphasis on the evil of "bringing against individuals in a caluniating manner, and not in the legally prescribed way, charges which assail their loyalty as Presbyterian ministers of ruling elders, and even their Christian belief, and which otherwise tend to weaken their influence as servants of Christ in His Church. If we are to have peace and purity in the Church all slan der and misrepresentation must be brought to an end." Report Sale of Beer Aboard German Boat By Vnited Prest WASHINGTON. May 29. The German embassy here has been asked by the State Department to investigate and take necessary disciplinary measures in connection with reports of American prohibition agents of the sale to Americans of beer aboard the German cruiser Hamburg in Los Angeles harbor. Informed persons here said today that no "diplomatic incident" would result from the case, wkhich is regretted equally by both governments.

Although the German war vessel with ita extraterritorial rights is not directly subject to American law, it is generally agreed by both parties that alleged bootlegging would be a violation of the courtesy under which a foreign warship was allowed to enter an American port. BOMB WRECKS HOME SCRANTON, May 29. Pittston was the scene of another dynamiting outrage early today. The home of a foreigner was wrecked but all of the occupants escaped injury. Police expect to make arrests before the day runs out.

STRIKES -HERE ANDTH JUDGMENT 'TWO rather unusual incidents were witnessed recently in Capitol Park. They showed that even such a sure-footed animal as a squirrel may occasionally make an error of judgment, and that the much vaunted German police dog can be frightened by a squirrel. All the fuss was occasioned when one squirrel purloined an English walnut from another squirrel. BUMPS followed a merry chas9 as the purloiner leaped front tree to tree, with the other squirrel in pursuit. The squirrel that was encumbered with the walnut was seen to miss its mark as it made a flying leap.

In its descent, the little animal pawed wildly in an effort to find a claw-hold. Nothing doing. Just at that time the atmosphere was barren of claw-holds. The little animal apparently was doomed to take its bumps. At that moment, a German police dog was returning to its owner after chasing a third squirrel up a tree.

The descending squirrel landed squarely on the beck of the dog. SALVAGED little animal had found its claw-hold. The police dog would not have acted in a mora surprised manner if a wildcat had landed on its back. With a series of yelp it bounded towards its owner, the squirrel leaping lightly to terra firma. Relieved, the dog looked around to see what manner of animal had done the clawing.

Instinctively it must have realized it was tha squirrel. With a ferocious yelp, the dog made a leap for the animal. Too late! In the twinkling of an eye tha squirrel was perched on a tree limb, apparently making squirrel faces at the deg. It then started the process of shelling the walnut, which it had retained throughout the fracas. Hold Four in Plot To Poios nFour Horses By Vnited Press AURORA.

American film exporters will probably be obliged to modify the nature of the films they send to Italy, as a new law, effective June 1, forbids the admission of boys or girls under 15 to shows where plays of passion or police stories are screened. This will mean a sudden drop in attendance at all Italian cinema theaters because the recreation of the average family consists of going to the "movies." The government is starting a special panel of censors in every city with full powers to reject films regarded as unhealthy. Films calculated to improve the minds of the young will be encouraged henceforth. The Pope is extremely pleased at the government's action and Cardinal Merry Del Val, who some time ago encouraged the use of educational films in all Catholic recreational centers, may be said to be the pioneer in this movement in Italy.

Winners FLORENCE KULP 'ill uproar and threatening violence be cause tne federal Government refuses to give them water for irrigation pending the settlement of disputes over fees, Governor McMul-len has wired President Coolidge demanding that the water be turned into the flumes immediately, i "The farmers must have water in-order to save their crops," Mc-! Mullen said. "They will have time they owe the Government later." Enraged irrigation farmers of the North Platte Valley near Scott's Bluff expressed the spirit of the region early yesterday by hanging effigies of Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work and Elwood Mead, commissioner of reclamation. Several days ago the farmers threatened to dynamite the gates of the reservoirs which are holding back the water supply that they need for their crops.

According to reports to the governor's office, feeling is running so high in the North Platte Valley that there is danger of violence. The farmers claim that the Federal Reclamation Commission is violating an agreement with their association in refusing to turn on the water until all delinquent charges are paid. There have been light rains in the valley during the last two days, but the precipitation has not been enough to give the parched beet and alfalfa fields the soaking that they need. A complete crop failure is likely as the sun is growing hotter each clay and many of the tender plants are beginning to sear. Pome North Platte interstate irrigation project is designed to serve approximately 2000 farms, more than 1300 farmers have signed petitions to President Coolidge asking him to intercede with the Interior Department in their behalf.

In a frenzy of religious fervor, hundreds of followers of Aimee Semple McPherson, missing evan gelist, precipitated a near riot here yesterday. The trouble arose when officers attempted to quiet the preacher's converts who were shouting pray ers of encouragement to a diver preparing to search for the body. Deputy Sheriff Walter Hanby was beaten severely by a woman who clubbed him with a parasol. A score of citizens who sought to interfere were held at bay. To counteract the growing feeling in Los Angeles that Mrs.

McPherson is still alive, Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, the evangelist's mother, personally supervised the activities of the watchers on the beach. In a bitter denunciation, "Mother" Kennedy characterized Los Angeles newspapers as scandal spreaders for accepting views that her daughter had not been drowned. She intimated that authorities investigating the disappearance along lines that the evangelist had either run away or was the victim of amnesia, were misguided and unfair. Speaking to her daughter's loyal followers she asked them to continue the search for the body and to "laugh off the insidious propaganda of atheists and enemies." Many of the watchers along tie beach have been at their posts of duty Eince Mrs.
