QUAY WALL PLANS
NEARLY COMPLETE
Colonel Heuer Will Be Consult
ing Engineer in Drawing
Final Specifications

OAKLAND, March 16.-Defnite plans
for the quay wall which the city will
construct in the estuary between
Broadway and Myrtle street at a cost
of $4,000 will be completed by City
Engineer Turner within about four
days. When the drawings and specifi-
cations have been finished by the city
engineers they will be referred to
Colonel w. H Heuer, United States
army engineer, who has been retained
IS consulting engineer by the board
of public works.
The plans being prepared are for a
quay dock of concrete, extending in a
solid wall from Broadway to Myrtle
street, a distance of nine blocks, de-
signed on the most modern engineer
ing principles. The methods used in
planning permanent wharves at Boston,
Baltimore, New York and other sea
ports have been studied by Assistant
City Engineer r. F. Brown. who was
detailed to work in harbor matters.
METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION
With Colonel Heuer's consultation
the engineers will decide shortly the
main point as to the quay wall con-
struction. This is whether the dock
will be of solid or of reinforced con-
crete. If of solid concrete. the quay
wall will rest II feet below the sur
face of the shore line,. where hard pan
capable of resisting any pressure has
been found. The wall will be % feet
thick at its base, and will be, narrowed
TO five feet at the surface of the earth.
II built of reinforced concrete the wall
will not be so thick at its base, but
viii be five. feet across at its apex.
The essential difference is one of cost,
and the engineers are now computing
their estimates of the two modes of
construction.
The city engineers tests of the strata
at the shore line has shown hard pan
about Is feet under the surface mud.
Below this is hard clay, on which
the. concrete structure will be rested.
Tests of the hard pan show that six
tons pressure on two square feet for
two weeks caused no sinking whatever.
Further tests will be made at once.
FIRST PERMANENT DOCK
The quay wall will be the first per-
manent dock in the estuary and will
be so constructed that it can be greatly
increased in wharfage space at the
least cost. When the straight wall is
completed 1T will accommodate five
vessels OF the largest size. AS the de-
mands for space increase piers will be
extended diagonally into the estuary
600 feet out. They will be 125 feet
wide, with 200 feet space between each
pier. When the whole system is even
tualiy finished the docks between
Broadway and Myrtle street will have
five or six times the wharfing space
of the quay wall which is to be first
built
Pians for the wharf at the foot of
Livingston street, East Oakland, are
oelng prepared. and will be ready for
consultation with Heuer soon This
wharf will cost s175,000. Turner and
his assistants have begun preliminary
work at preparing the plans for the
western water front Improvement
which will cost S53O00O

PLAN ORGANIZATION
OF AERO SOCIETY
Students of University Will Hold
Meeting to Form Club to
Promote AerOnauticS

BERKELEY, March 16.-Defnite
steps were taken today for the forma-
tion of an aeroplane society of stu
dents for the purpose of holding in
tercollegiate and interclass aero races
by Jose Hidalgo, instructor in Spanish
Of the faculty and a member of the
Pacific aero club, when he called a
meeting for organization to be'held in
California hall at o'clock tomorrow
afternoon. The request for the call for
the meeting came. from a number Of
students who are interested in aero
nautics.
Since the short trial flights made a
year ago by r. Smith, a student in the
college of mechanics from Los Angeles,
in giider-an aeroplane without an
engine-there has been more or less
talk on the campus about the formation
of an aeroplane club.
Smith was enthusia site over the pos
sibilities of aeroplaning and attempted
to organize a club for the purpose of
holding class and intercollegiate races.
The time was not ripe, however, and
his efforts were without results.
Since then, however. a number of
students have become deeply interested
in the problem of aerial navigation,
and many have done experimental work
along those lines.
The receipt of a letter from the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania a few days
ago asking that the University of Cali
fornia join with Pennsylvania, Cornell
and Columbia in forming an intercol-
legiate society for the promotion of
the sport by the holding OF contests,
has aroused the greatest interest in
the student body.
While it is not likely that the uni
versity will send representative to
the meeting, which will be held during
the first week in April at Philadelphia.
efforts Will be made to induce Stanford
to form an aeronautic society to hold
contests with the university.
Jose Hidalgo, a member of the fac
ulty, who is a director in the Pacific
aero club, is enthusiastic over the
prospects of a student society for the
promotion of aeronautics, and says
that races of various kinds will be
arranged as soon as possible, as we'll
as the building of aeroplanes designed
by the amateurs.

WANTED: SPOOKS
| WITH ROMAN NOSES
Ghosts With Aquiline "Beaks'
Sought Among Students of
the State University

BERKELEY, March 16.-Garnet
Holme. university dramatic coach, is
looking for four students with true
Roman noses TO take the part OF ghosts
in Nero which will be staged, in the
Greek theater by the English club
April %. The men must be slight OF
figure and able to act the part of
spooks with cleverness and ease. Stu
dents with previous experience will be
given the preference in the matter of
selection.
The spooks who would take part in
the play must be able to portray ghosts
of the great Julius Caesar, Augustus.
Tiberius and Claudius and by their
actions must produce a wholesome fear
in the fiddling Nero to remind him of
his many misdeeds-
Holme declares that he has seen so
many students with Roman noses that
each snan who thinks he cam qualify
for the part of Caesars ghost must
secure an old Roman coin bearing
Caesars head. and by means of a
mirror compare his profile with that or
the great leader of the empire.
If he bears close resemblance
Holme guarantees that he will be
given a chance to make good in the
caste of the big play
According to Holme many have been
called, but few have been chosen. but
he has not given up hope and believes
that he can secure likeneSses OF the
Roman leaders from among the stu
dents without resort to outside talent.
