ENGINEER ASSUMES ALL
 BLAME IN DAM COLLAPSE
William Mulholland, Aged Los An. gctcs Enployc, Is Broken
 Hearted.

Los Angeles. March 2S Pl-A pair of aged but unhinching shoulders today carried the burden Of blame for the collapse of St. Francis dam.
 Testifying before the coroner's jury here, William Mulholland, 1- year old chief engineer of the Los Angeles bureau of water and power yesterday accepted the responsibll- ity for whatever mistakes in engi- ncering may have led to the break | ing of the dam.
 1 And in so doing he flung a chal- | leugc to the report of the state in veStigating commission, blaming 1 foundation of the dam for the ca tastrophe.
 The states report was to the ef. feet that the natural foundation upcn which the dam was built was incapable of sustaining it because Of its susceptibility to water seep- age.
 Don't blame anybody else. pleaded the gray haired engineer "Whatever fault there was in this job. put it on me. If there were any errors of iudgment-and its human to make mistakes-the CT. TOT was mine"
 Questioned by a member of tho { jury, Mulholland almost indignant | ly denied that in the last two ol three years he had let up a little rested more responsibility oI suhordnates."
 "I don't believe l have eve, worked harder in my life than II the last few years-drst at the of flee and not the first to leave.' h. said. T go where the work is. wish l could let up q little. Afraid I'll have to before long-this thint has got me- Then he detailed test . that had been made on the foun dation preliminary to construction to assure the engineers of it. strength.

''Over a period of nearly one hun. dred years. the American Institute has been honoring outstanding achievements in the industrial and scientific progress of our country. To New Britain industries, and particu- larly many of her older esta blished firms. there have come many awards of merit for distinguished accom- i plishments, a great number of them a half century or more ago. It # interesting to note that to the Stan ley Works, r. X F. Corbin. Russell x Erwin, North & Judd and Lan- ders. Frary & Clark. there were granted awards of merit more thar ! fifty years ago and that all of them are today strong, progressive firms fully justifying the judgment and confidence of the American Institute in distributing their awards in the days when these firms were young
 New Britain's booth at the ex- position was very attractively ar. ranged. IL was along the 67th street wall of the armory and occupied 9 space one hundred feet by ten feet Across the front was a very attrac- tive sign, New Britan-The Hard ware City of the World together with reproduction of the city sea.

hlue and gold trimmings For the back wall color. a royal blue was used with gold cord festoons draped from spaced lattice trimmings sus- pended from the ceiling. Over the top of the booth was q gold colored cloth and dome lights were suspend ed. giving very fine lighting effect. With the addition of rugs. chairs and settees, the decorative effect was most pleasing.
 Tn the center of the booth there was erected an old brass furnace. with melting pot. tongs. moulding bed and patterns. anvil, shovel, etc, all on a raised platform. This vas described as the origin of New Brit aims hardware industry. Framed and forming a part of this section Of | the exhibit was the following: From 1 the village hlacksmith's anvil and the small brass furnace. such as are shown here. have developed the great industries which give New Britain it's title of The Hardware l City of the World. 1S00-1926.'
 Arranged on either side were the exhibits of the American Hardware corporation divisions. P. & F. Cor bin. Corbin Screw Corp. Corbin Cabinet Lock Go. and Russell & Er- win Mfg.

Comstock; to North X Judd Mfg. | Co.. represented by r. NJ. Holmes. and to the Stanley Works and Lan' ders, Frary X Clark.
