THATSTATE CAPITOL
Pennsy's Governor and the Com
mission Disagree.
ARCHITECTS PLANS CAUSE TROUBLE.
When Those Passed ON by Experts Wore
Rejected Despite Governor Hastings,
He Became Indignant and
Then Left the Meeting,

Harrisburg Sept. 10.-The commission
which has in charge the erection OF a
new state capitol at a cost of S55O.0
came into conflict with Governor Has
tings when. against his vigorous pro-
test. they rejected all the plans rec
commended by the board Of experts and
decided TO ask the architects for new
ones. The governor was so displeased
that he withdrew from the meeting and
declined to further participate in the
commissions proceedings. IL is expect
ed that he will resign from that body.
The trouble began when Senator Nc
Carrell offered a resolution disapprov-
ing the action of the board of experts
in excluding from the competition Of
architects the designs Of Harding g.
Gooch Of New York and Furness. Evans
& Co. of Philadelphia. The resolution
also provided that the envelopes con-
tanning the names Of the 30 competitors
be requested of Judge Simonton and
opened, and If the names of the au
thors Of the two plans thrown out be
found among them all designs be sent
back TO the competing architects.
Senator McCarrell and Auditor Gem
eral Mylin spoke against the recon-
mendation of the board of experts and
urged the adoption OF the resolution.
The Governors Opposition.
Governor Hastings was emphatically
opposed to the resolution and made a
formal protest. which he requested to
be placed on the minutes of the COM
mission. John NJ. Carrere of New York,
speaking for the board of experts, said
that they had acted in what could be
al al "a laf
report should be accepted as final, and
that they declined to make another ex-
animation of the rejected drawings.
The resolution was adopted by vote
Of to 1. Governor Hastings voting in
the negative. Those fRvoring the reso-
luton were Auditor General Mylin, SEN
ator McCarrel. state Treasurer Hay
wood and Speaker Boyer The governor
retired from the room with Attorney
General Mccormick, who acted as legal
advisor of the commission.
A second resolution was offered by
Senator McCarrell and adopted. after
which the commission adjourned tc
meet next Monday Governor Hastings
sent word by Private Secretary Beltlei
that he would not attend the meeting
The second resolution annuls and can
cells all the provisions of tho competi-
tion. save only those describing th'
buildings to be covered by the designs
and the grounds to be occupied thereb,
and the mandatory provisions limit
ing the cost.
The governor in his formal protest &C
cuses the members Of the commission
who upheld the resolution Of violating
the faith and credit Of the commission
and the honor of the commonwealth.

EXPERTS EXAMINED.
The State Begins Its Task of Proving
Human Flesh Was In Luetgert's Vat.


Chicago, Sept 1O-Both the morning
and afternoon sessions Of the court in
the trial Of Adolph l.. Luetgert were
consumed in the taking of expert testi-
mony. Through chemical analysis the
state must establish not only the pos
sibility of a human body being dis
solved by the action Of caustic potash
heated to the boiling point. but also the
fact that the bits of bone, hair and
flesh and the scrapings Of pinkish brown
material from the interior vat in the
sausage factory are portions Of the body
of a human being. If they can demon
strate these two propositions beyond a
reasonable doubt, one of the most im-
portant points of their case will have
been accomplished. BY circumstantial
evidence they have endeavored to prove
that Luetgert was anxious 10 rid him
self OF his wife and that he enticed his
wife to this factory on the evening of
May 1. By expert testimony they ex-
pect to prove that Mrs. Luetgerts re-
mains are now represented by the bits
of bone, flesh and hair.
Two expert witnesses have been call
ed, DR.. Charles b. Gibson and Profess
or Mark de la Fontaine. Dr. Gibson.
whose direct examination was begun
Wednesday, offered further testimony
for the state and was turned over to the
defense for cross examination. Professor
de la Fontaine was examined by AS
sistant State Attorney McEwen, the di-
rect examination occupying the remain
ing time Of the morning session and the
entire afternoon session.
