EXPERT ENGINEERS PROVE
 D0NACHEY'S CONVENTIONS

ing around the room, leaving with empty buckets at another door in the side on which they entered.
 "In the meanwhile the expert engineers, Kurt Berle and Capt. Markham, were themselves largely in the background. Although they last night assumed responsi- bility for the test, to all appear ances at the capitol building it was being conducted by the members of the house committee.
 Scene was Dramatic.
 'The scene was dramatic as 1t became apparent that the floor was 1 yielding to the strain. The crowd pressed close with breathless inter est as the convicts kept up their sombre procession and the pile of soggy weight grew larger. Pro- tests began to be made by legisla- tors, who demanded to know how much strain was being put on the floor. Members of the committee responded that the load then in place represented a strain of 100 pounds to the foot. MT. Caldwell declared that 1t represented I3o pounds.
 "As the proceeding went for ward MT. Caldwell brought out copy of the specifications to prove that they did not call for test of more than I5o pounds to the square foot in such rooms as the one being tried out. Chairman 1 Glover of the house committee, on the other hand, insisted the floor must be able to bear 300 pounds to the foot Both MT. Vim and MT. Dulaney made representations to MT. Cover, arguing that the floor was being subjected to test that 1t was never intended to stand and that catastrophe might occur if the piling on the sand was not stopped.
 Committee Does Not Allow Claim.
 "Mr. Glover was the spokesman for the engineers. He declared that they and the committee had decided that the floor should stand test of 300 pounds, regardless of its position in the building, but iii difference to the wishes of his col leagues, he agreed to suspension of activity when it was asserted that the addition of another ton of sand would cause a collapse. The crowd quickly melted away, the convict laborers were taken to their quarters and dark came, with contractors and committee alike dissatisfied.
 "Mr. Glover stated last night that so far as he himself was con- cerned, he considered the test to be satisfactory and conclusive one, and that 1t had been proven the floor would not bear the weight ex pected of 1t. He stated that the committee would meet again this morning and decide on what fur ther action would be taken. "
