DRYDOCK PROPHESY is
DENIED BY WHlTEH0USE

L. NJ. Whitehouse, civil engineer,
was seen after returning from a visit
to the wreck of the Pearl Hartor dry
dock yesterday and promptly denied a
report that he had predicted the fail
ure of Engineer Smiths methods.
Mr.. Lord and figured on the dry
dock work and the only difference
would have made in the operations
would have been to put in steel sheet
ing instead of wood But it would not
have made bit of difference in the
result.
THE only opinion l expressed be-
fore the collapse was that the arte-
sian water would prevent the piling
from holding in the coral When the
water was pumped out of the middle
section down to thirty-seven feet, the
suction from the outer sections forced
the bottom of the middle one up. I
have estimated that the pressure was
seventeen pounds to the square inch. -
Mr.. Whitehouse showed a rough dia-
gram of the works to illustrate his
remarks.
