GRAND RAPIDS. MICH. January IS.
Judge Sessions and attorneys in the
Eas;land hearing saw the mechanical
details of the Chicago River disaster
OF July -, 1915. re-enacted in the
United States District Court here this
afternoon to demonstrate the theory of
Charles H. Hutchinson. Chicago mining
engineer. that the accident was caused
by the boat resting on the river bed
under heavy load. Hutchison went
on tho witness stand with small tank
and miniature model OF the Eastland
which he proceeded To capsize under
conditions which II. declared were SINH
lar to the same result from top heavi-
ness and from grounding on the river
bottom.
Hutchison said that when he arrived
at the scene Of tho Eas,land wreck. an
hour after II occurred, the keel OF the
vessel was Il considerable distance from
the dock. His experiments with tho
tank and model. he declared. proved
that II the boat had gone over merely
from 0verloading her keel would have
been pushed against the dock
The testimony OF two other do

Petersen. master of the Eastland. and
Charles c. Ecklin. of Grand Haven,
