with selected clay, rammed in place
and puddled next to the wood with
water. This will have the effect of
excluding the air and prolong the
life of the wood indefinitely against
the ravages OF decay.
II involves a very slight change
from the Kellogg plans but one quite
as important as the change made
from Oregon pine to California red
wood In the material of the core
wall, and in the same line. the pro-
iongation Of the durability OF the
core-wall. The material for this can
lie partially obtained by lessening the
thickness of the earth III mauka of
the core-wall by about feet. oppo-
Fite the rock-fill
Regarding the general dimensions
Ct the dam, ! may say that they con-
form to the dimensions almost uni
yersally adopted for earth dams. The
slopes Of 3 on inside and 9 on |
outside are those employed on most
of the dams with which am now
familiar. With depth of ten feet
on the crest and apprehension of
eight feet above the lip of the spill
way, these slopes give thickness of
80 feet at the line of overflow. or 35
feet AT the maximum water line.
Where dams are built by the hydrau-
lie sluicing method 1t is often Gus
tomary to increase the top width to
give an additional factor of safety on
the theory that the outer slopes are
apt to be porous for considerable
depth from the surface and the i'm
pervious portion in the center Is gen.
orally less in thickness than the cor
responding part Of dam built in
rolled layers of uniformly tight ma
terial. Considering the excellent
class of material available for the
Nuuanu dam. I do not regard any In
creased thickness as essential to the
safety of the structure.

NUUANU DAM REPORT

that the engineers were over cautious

a cost which should not exceed 20 cents

long distance outside the reservoir
and paving 60 cents n yard for Il.

Discussion Of Possible Failure Of M.
uanu Dam by Either Of the
Means Suggested

The failure of the Nuuanu Dam by
overlapping due to floods exceeding
the capacity of the spillway cannot
in my judgment be regarded as pos
sibility for the reason that the capac-
ity provided by the plans appears to
be reasonably ample and In excess of
all probable stream flow under eX-
IRENE conditions.
The maximum discharge capacity
was computed by Mr.. Walker on the
basis of a possible rainfall OF "a
inches in "a hours, with a run-off OF
rs per cent, giving an average rate
of discharge OF about 1000 cubic feet
per second, which is the capacity OF
the spillway when water is overflow
ing to a depth Of three feet. The
highest recorded rainfall In "a hours
at the Luakaha rain gauge was S.72
inches. Dec. 20, 1901. On February
18th. 1907. with a rainfall Of $50
inches In "a hours. the resulting
freshet which ran over the top Of the
core wall for nearly an hour and was
four feet deep above the crest of the
wall a part of the time, I computed
approximately as having a maximum
rate OF discharge of about 2400 cubic
feet per second. Had this continued
for full hour at this rate 1t would
have filled the area between the level
of the crest Of the spillway and the
top of the fiash-boards as planned by
Mr.. Walker. and subsequently the
continuance Of the flow would have
opened the dashboard automatic
gates and given free discharge OF
water at the rate of 1000 cubic feet
per second. The water under these
extreme conditions would still be
FIVE feet below the crest of the dam
and powerless to overtop 1t.

Failure by approximation Of Entir'
Mass and Sliding on Base

The second described means OF fail
ure Of earth dams could not occur to
the dam under consideration when
built with the dimensions planned
and with the materials at hand. The
core-wall will prevent such SUPER
saturation of the makai half OF the
dam, until the mass had become solid

assume that the portion mauka OF
the core-wall were not completely
compacted before the reservoir is I'LL

Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1907-04-24
Modified Form Of Spillway Suggested

In this connection II has seemed to
me that a modification of the plan of
the spillway would be desirable to
avoid the use of movable nash-boards
and reduce the height of overflow un-
der extreme conditions. My plan,
which meets the approval OF the en-
ginecrs with whom l have discussed
1t. IL to extend the spillway channel
mauka of the dam, parallel with the
edge of the reservoir. forming a long
crest of overflow. some 800 feet In
length. protected by a lining OF rein
forced concrete, the channel being
made deeper and wider and Of in
creased capacity from the upper end
down to the line of the dam. In
this way II IL possible to secure the
desired capacity with a depth OF over
flow not exceeding one foot. Such
an arrangement would admit of per-
manently increasing the height Of
water in the reservoir by two feet
with the same height of dam. The
avoidance of any mechanical device
for regulating the height OF water
appears to me desirable and ! recon-
mend the adoption of this plan for
the spillway.

engaged In a game of golf, his usual
morning exercise, when word was re

had been fined $29, 100000 by the fed
eral court I'm Chicago. About o'clock
Mr. Rockefeller proceeded 20 his INKS
back of the house, where he had an
engagement to play golf The game
progressed in the usual manner. Mr..
Rockefeller displayed unusual form,
and Vigor, however, and was bestihg
his opponents little after IL o'clock
a message was handed to him telling
of the big fine that had been assessed
against the Standard. Not word did
he speak regarding the news. Abso-
Iutely nothing transpired that would
indicate that he was angered or even
annoyed. Later Mr.. Rockefeller stated
that he would not discuss the acton
of the court even I'm the slightest de-
gree for publication. After reading
the message, Mr.. Rockefeller re-
sumed his game. laughing and joking

PENALTY AN OUTRAGE. INSISTS
OIL TRUST PRESIDENT

New York. Aug President
James \. Moffet. of the Standard oil
company of Indiana. made The follow
ing statement today in reference to
the judgment Judge lands pro-
nounced in the federal court at Chi
cagO:
The facts in the case are simple
and easily understood. The Standard
OF company OF Indiana was convicted
OF receiving what the governments
claimed as a concession from the
Chicago and Alton in the shipment Of
Of oil from its refinery at Whiting.
Ind. 20 East ST. Louis, Ills.
The contention Of the government
was that the LAWFUL rate was l6 cents
per hundred tunds between these
points. The defendant claims. first,
that the lawful rate was s cents. and
secondly. II cents was not the lawful
rate, u was "a rate issued 10 the Stand
ard BY the Alton as the lawful rate,
and the Standard was justified In be-
iieving from its own investigation and
from instructions received from the
railroad commission that o cents was
the lawful rate.
We insist that whatever may be
ones technical view. every equitable
consideration IS with the defendant.
and II the only desire was 10 give this
defendant square deal. this prosecu-
lion would never have been Instituted.
The American public not only believes
In fair play in the abstract. but with
all the facts before O.. u has the ca
uacify 10 determine whether the de-
fendant. rich or poor. has received a
square deal
The standard oil company asserts
that f b. not even technically guilty.
and that it ought never 20 have been
prosecuted because of the claimed fall
