DAM EXPERT IS
WORKING HARD
DID NOT GO TO DAM TO-DAY BUT
STAYED AT HOME TO LOOK
OVER CORRESPONDENTS.

The work of investigating the safety
of the Nuuanu Dam is going forward
without hitch and H. Clay Kellogg
the expert in charge of the investiga-
lions, hopes to finish the work by the
first of next week. Today he did not
visit the dam but stayed in his room
at the Young Hotel and went carefully
over the correspondence between the
contractor and the engineer in regard
to the work. He also gave a little
more attention to the plans and specif-
cations of the work.
Tomorrow Mr.. Kellogg expects to go
to the dam and make further investiga-
lions. Tomorrow is the day when all
who have any fault finding to do are
invited to visit the work and point out
any defects in the work they may de-
sire to do to Mr.. Kellogg.
Two cross cuts have been made in the
dam to determine the character of the
structure. 1t is expected that by to-
night the dam viii be pumped clear of
water so that the foot of th| dam may
be examined tomorrow.
1--WE have continued the investiga-
TONS" said Mr. Kellogg this morning

finish the work by the first of next
week
LAS was proposed by Mr.. Patterson
shaft is being sunk to determine the
safety of the place where the artesian
spring is said to be located. That
should be completed by Friday at the
latest and that vital point settled.
To-day I am busy with the cores
pondence that has passed between the
contractor in charge of the work and
the engineer who planned it. I hope
by this to CLEAN some additional mat
tiers bearing on the subject,
Tomorrow I am to meet all who have
any defects they wish to point out at
the dam and see what can do in the
way of remedying them. I wish to sat
| isfy all that my report will be fair and
unbiased"
Yesterday Mr.. Kellogg put in a hard
days work IT the dam and saw many
points of interest about the big struc-
ture. Accompanied by c. II. Smith the
engineer in charge of the work, he
crawled through the big pipe at the
bottom of the gulch in order to make
a close examination of it, AS this
pipe makes many turns and twists and
is some 800 feet long 1t was with some
relief that the two men crawled out at
the far end Of the pipe
Considerable time was also spent
yesterday in looking over the pits tina
had been sunk to show the materia
of which the dam is built,
Mr.. Kellogg does not say anything
about the result of his investigation
as he does not wish to say anything
until his final report goes to the Gov
crnOr.

Yet if we accept the fifty-fve1sixty.
tWc-year-old theory, the answer is
easy.
Van Arsdale is within the fatal peri
cd. He is sixty years Of age.
In August last the great steamship
Manchuria went ashore on Rabbit isl
and, Hawaiian group. There was no
real excuse for the wreck. Capt. j. w.
Saunders, who was on the bridge at
the time, assumed all blame for
stranding the vessel. The weather was
very clear and yet his only excuse was
that he mistook the land for Makapu
point, a spot which he had viewed
hundreds of times before.
Capt. Saunders was within the fatal
agelimit.
Early in last July a dreadful rail
road smashup occurred in Salisbury
Eng, when twenty-seven passengers
were killed and twelve injured.
The engineer was one of the most
trusted in the employ of the railroad,
but his judgment and common sense
had forsaken him. He was within the
fatal age boundary.

cursion steamer General Slocum

gers lost their lives either by fire or
water.
The one man whose personality
stood out strongest before the world at
the burning of the Slocum was Capt
William Henry Van Schaicl1, who was
just within the fatal age area.
Capt. Van Schaick was placed ur.
der arrest as soon as he was able to
leave the hospital and tried for negli
gence of duty. On Jan. q, 1906, a yer.
dict was rendered holding the captain
responsible for the disaster and sen
fencing him to ten years imprison

Van Schaick released on $4,000 bail.

closer to the chance of getting the Re
publican nomination for the presidency
than any other man. Not that there
are not plenty of other candidates.
Root is one, SO is Fairbanks. Beveridge
and perhaps Cannon, but of all these
the leader is Taft. e
Even without having been chosen to
restore order out of the Cuban chaos,
Tafrhad the best expectations, but the
publicity that will come to him in the
next few months and the virtual GER
stainey that he will be successful in re-
storing a satisfactory condition in the
Pearl ofsthe Antilles makes the specu-
lation on Cuba as a new mother Of
presidents an interesting one.
Taft has long wanted to go on the
bench of the United States supreme
court, the natural and proper ambition
of every great lawyer. A few years
ago this was probably the most he
could have asked of public life, but he
would be less than human if the newer
ambition did not engulf the old
. It has been the experience of Taft
to have accomplished the'unusual, that
for which there was no precedent.

confronted a situation such as the
United States had never known before.

WILL CUBA PROVE.
CHANCE FOR TAFT
IT DID FOR ROOSEVELT

The Spanish-American war in Cuba
sent, Theodore Roosevelt to the presi-
dency Will the present trouble in
the isle Of unrest do the same, for
William H. Taft? It is question that
interests the whole American people
and suggests a train of condolences.
Before the Maine went to the bot
tom of Havana harbor no one had seri-
ously entertained the%idea that .Roose-
welt might some day occupy the chair
Of washington and Lincoln.
The New Yorker, originally a. re.
former, whom the regulars regarded
with suspicion, had acquitted himself
with credit as commissioner of police
in New York city, and was regarded as
man of ability, but no stretch of i'm
agination had pictured him as one to
suddenly vault into the governorship
of the Empire state, the vice presiden-
cy, and finally the presidential chair
by the biggest majority ever given to
candidate for the Office.
He glory lndI game with the de-
scent on Cuba, the, rough rider halo,
did all this for Theodore Roosevelt. It
discovered to the American people
that he was a man of capacity in all
directions. He has borne the subse-
quent test, and deserved his honors,
but it cannot be denied that without
the events of the brief struggle in
Cuba he might never have been men
toned for the highest office in the land
Taft went to Cuba on a different err
rand. Roosevelt went there as man Of
war, Taft for peace, but the Ohio man
ought to find a happy augury in the
experience of the present incumbent
OF the White House
The Spanish-American war brought
Taft, like Roosevelt, to the front as a
man of varied abilities. He had been
an able member Of the Ohio bar, and
had quickly been elevated to the bench
by Gov. Foraker. Then President Har
rison made him solicitor general Of
the United States, from which place

Is there a brief period in every
mans life, who has passed the age Of
tfty-five, and not reached sixty-two,
when the heart and brain refuse to
respond to crises, and fatal errors, i'm.
possible at any other period, are COM
mitted?
A foremost English doctor says So,
and he fortifies his argument with i'm
pressive instances.
If he is right many Of the mistakes
Of history, the sudden utterly unac-
countable lapses of judgment on the
part of usually able men would be ex.
planned.
According to the English writer it is
at some period between the ages OF
fifty-five and. sixty-two that the facul-
ties suddenly undergo a lapse. The
loss is only temporary, and marks
often with a black blotch of horrors
the psychological change taking place
between the meridian of life and the
commencement of old age. When this
condition affects them, business men
show irresolution and suspicion with
out reason, statesmen make inexcusa-
bic plumbers of policy, soldiers conf
NIT the most glaring mistakes which
cost battles, and sailors lose battle
ships, while trusy railroad engineers
run past signals and cause disastrous
wrecks.
After the danger mark is passed, the
so!idity and conservatism of old age
come to the rescue, and the result is
seen in men of extraordinary preserva-
ton, like Gladstone, Ibsen, Senator
Hoar, Verdi or Gen. Roberts.
The controversy provoked by DR.. o.
ler's now famous dictum that man
ceases to have creative faculty after
the age Of forty, and ought to be chlor-
oformed after passing sixty, is likely
to be repeated in similar degree by
this new effort to determine by years
when a mans faculties fail.
1t is a fact, however, that many in
stances seem to bear out the idea OF
the English doctor.

A position Of more delicacy could
hardly be imagined. It is post that
requires frmness, lest in the early
stages an outbreak should work dam
age to American interests and resul.
in loss of life.
To come out Of all this complication
successfully, as Taft has done, calls
for abundant patience and good nature
as well as most inspired diplomacy
Indeed, it is a sure indication OF the
true presidential caliber of the man.
It has been said of Taft that he can
do more with a smile than any man in
public life.
Here is another parallel to Roose-
velt
When the rough rider chieftain re.
turned from Cuba, every paper and
magazine in the country delighted to
print pictures of the grinning face thai
showed a set of good, strong molars.
parted with jollity. This smiling
Roosevelt face undoubtedly contribu-
ted much to the popularity of the pres.
ident, and SO it ought to help the case,
of Taft.
Taft never had the power to master
subjects without working. He has lit
tie of that superficial brilliancy that
brings many public men to. the fore in
a day, only to drop them back just as
suddenly. He is Intellectually strong
man, but his greatest gift is his powe:
of sustained work.
In Cuba he delved into every phase
of the situation and investigated every
part of the island, met all of the men
who are factors, big and little, in the
present ccn61tion, traced every cause
oughly to the task of correcting evils,
getting the malcontents propitiated,
and employing all his moderation, his
sanity and his energy toward the res
toration of order.
Harvard has the honor of giving the
country the present chief magistrate.
Ii his successor is a Yale man, it will
be in great part because Taft has
known how to deal with the Cuban sit
uation.
In dealing with the lighter affairs of
life, Taft has been as equally success
full as in shaping the destineies of ma
lions.
His famous trip to the Philippines
something over a year ago will not
soon be forgotten by any member of
his large party. The secretary was
the life and fun of the crowd, full of
jokes and merriment from morn until
night.
The close friendship and good fell
lowship Mr.. Taft cemented among the
members of his group on this journey
is more than indicated by the number
of weddings, that of the presidents
daughter being on the lead, which re-
suited from the jaunt.
Indeed they have been SO numerous
that the secretary, because of his ap.
parent friend!iness with loves little
messenger, gained the nickname of
Cupid Taft" which, not altogether to
his liking, has since stuck to him.

HIS RADICAL VIEWS

Mcdonald was known among his
friends as an iconoclast. His greatest
delight was to smash images One Of
his particular cronies was Perkins.
When Perkins wanted a little enter.
tainment in the evening he had a way,
OF getting a few congenial spirits
around table in cafe and after q
few round of drinks had percolatedI
through their systems he would bring
up some abtruse subject and hear Me-
Donald's radical views. He always
felt sure that Mcdonald would take
the opposite side from the generally
accepted view Of any subject.
1t was at one of the usual evening
gatherings when the circle of init
mates were seated in their usual coy
corner. When Perkins noticed Nc
Donald finish his fourth rickey he laid
down an afternoon paper he had BEEN
glancing over and remarked:
II see fellow named O'Hoolihan
has been fined for beating his wife I
think any man who would beat his
wife ought to be tied up to a lamp
post and given about sc lashes on his
bare back"
Mcdonald assumed an aggressive
attitude at once and hastily swallowed
something in his throat

now, let me tell you something. l.

down his envelope with 50 in it he
was not saying anything about it be-
ing a shame to take the money
Q'Hoolihan felt as if it came pretty
near being his SO that he was pulling

And about what happened is that
O'Hoolihan stopped in at Jerry's and
had one or two with the boys working
on his trick and fed a nickle or SO
into the slot of the automatic banjo
and heard it say plink-plunk, plink-
PUNK, Observation-Disclosures, in a way
that reminded him of his boyhood
days and he was happy. When he
got home, where he ought to expect
peace and comfort, he met towselied

had spent $3.50 of his own money, but
he did not feel like a criminal. He

his companions: Macs got some

The English generals who commit
ted the plumbers in the Boer. English
war were men between the ages of
fifty-five and sixty-two, the Buffers and
the M,eES:enE. rss2..=s 80
Those who went to the rescue were
curiously either above or below the
fatal age. Thus Lord Kitchener was at
that time less than fifty years old, and
Lord Roberts, the much.beloved
'Bobs,' was getting close to seventy.
It was this paid who ended most hui
initiating condition of affairs for Eng
land, and stopped the Boer successes.
Dewey, past the danger mark, beat
Montijo, in the fatal zone, at the bat
tie Of Manila, and so similar instances
might be multiplied.
