McCartee, who acted as interpreter for Mr Pin, a Corean gentleman residing in Washington for a time. Mr. Sweeney was engaged in installing weapons in West hall and experiments were made with reference to the proper color to be used as a background in the installment of promiscuous material. Miss Latham was preparing material for new labels for specimens. (over)
