OLDEST SCIENCE SOCIETY IN 0. S. HOLDS MEETING Organization Founded by Franklin Convenes on Historic Site. Bn Science Service PHILADELPHIA, April 19. America’s oldest scientific society, founded in 1727 by Benjamin Franklin as an informal gathering of his friends, begins its annual meeting today in the same home that it occupied in pre-revolutionary days, when Franklin wa's president. This is the American Philosophical Society, whose meeting place is in historic Independence Square, in the same group of buildings as Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed, and where the Liberty Bell is preserved. The meeting room itself is filled with paintings and other relics of former officers and members, back to Franklin’s time. As modern astronomers tell of the latest discoveries in the exploration of the universe, there stand at one side the telescopes used by David Rittenhouse, pioneer American astronomer. With one of these he observed the transit of Venus, that occurred in 1769, from a platform especially erected for the purpose almost under the windows of the meeting room. Seven years later this same platform was used when the Declaration of Independence was first read in public. The country’s leading scientists now are in Philadelphia to attend the meeting, which continues until Saturday. This afternoon Dr. Daniel T. MacDougal of the Carnegie Institution’s Desert Laboratory, is scheduled to tell the members of his study of individual plant cells that live for hundreds of years. Dr. Alfred Hess, New York vitamin specialist, will tell of “Cod Liver Oil and the Cod’’ and how his studies may be of value in treating children’s diseases. Evolution will be discussed tomorrow in a session presided over by Prof. Henry Fairfield Osborn, president of the American Museum of Natural History,

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
OPPOSITION TO HOOVER PERILS G. 0. MJHANCE Dawes, Lowden Threaten to Split Party: Forces Cal to Secretary. BY KAY TUCKER WASHINGTON, April 19.—Recognition of Herbert Hoover as Administration's presidential candidate was forecast today as President Coolidge's answer to the large scale attack cn some of his major policies launched on Capitol Hill by the Dawes-Lowden forces. The tactics of the anti-Hoover group in Congress will force not only Coolidge but also Secretary Mellon into the Hoover camp, according to predictions by observers cf the pending struggle. Neither the President nor the Secretary of the Treasury is expected to feel kindly toward the Illinois men now bent on scrapping the last important legisaltive program Coolidge is expected to sponsor. Seek President's Veto In framing farm relief, flood control and tax reduction bills which the President has said he would veto, the Dawes, Lowden spokesmen make little secret of their desire to prevent the President's rencmination and to weaken the Hoover candidacy in the West and South. This coalition strategy Is designed to embarrass Hoover by framing legislation which the Administration of which he is a part cannot accept. The Dawes-Lowden groups will then raise the cry that vetoes of these pronosals have so weakened Hoover in the farm and flood States and business circles that his rtomination will mean defeat in November. In his recent criticism of the farm and flood bills. President Coolidge is believed to have given warning that he is awake to this political maneuvering. G. O. P. Leaders Alarmed But the Dawes-Lowden Representatives in Congress are deliberately neglecting these warning signals and steering three bills to the White House in the hope that they will be well vetoed. Even Republican leaders not listed for Hoover are beginning to feel that this Dolicy may mean party suicide. They point out that the G. O. P. must ,seek a return to power on the basis of the Coolidge record, and that for any faction to cast discredit upon it is to subordinate party welfare to personal ambition. The result will be. it is predicted, to make Hoover the only available nominee if the Republicans are to ask a vote of confidence on the basis of Coolidge accomplishments in office.

Bit Science Service BERKELEY, Cal., April 19—Three authentic specimens of female deer, equipped with antlers which are usually the exclusive property of the bucks, are reported to the Journal of Mammalogy by Joseph Dixon of the University of California. They were all secured in the same general region, in the neighborhood of Truckee, Cal. The horns were sufficiently developed that all three animals were shot under the impression that they were bucks. The antlers of one of the specimens were imperfectly grown and still “in the velvet” in autumn, but the other two had shed their velvet and were nomal buck antlers to all appearance. All three of the animals belonged to the species known as the Rocky Mountain blacktail or mule deer, and were larger than ordinary does.
