new naval BOARD
HOLDSITSF|RST
Meeting

The naval board recently appointed
to further investigate the Pearl Har-
Dor dl ydock site, with view to de
stermining its fitness or unfitness for
the construction of permanent ship
basin, convened at Pearl Harbor this
morning to organize, and lay out
plans for proceeding with it's work.
Civil Engineer f. r. Gayler is the
ranking officer, the other two mem
bers being Civil Engineers Harris and
Gordon.
The board will continue and ampli-
fy the tests of bottom conditions that
we're made last month when Rear
Admiral Stanford, chief of the bureau
of yards and docks, was here to in
vestigate the drydock disaster. The
findings are of the utmost import
ance to the government and to the
contractors, for if the board determ-
ines that there is nothing to prevent
the construction Of the drydock ac-
cordihg to the original specifications,
the assumption will be that the gov
eminent was in no way responsible
for the accident Of February Il. and

contractors. If. on the other hand, il
is shown that the bottow viii not
stand the weight of the basin, and
that some new method of construc-
ton must be devised, then the con
tractors viii fare far better financial
~ ca the readjustment.
1t is believed that the board,
working. in. conjunction with the con-
tractors, will be able to get better
specimens Of the bottom by the use
of new boring machine. which was
recently sent to Pearl Harber. The
contractors laimed that with the old
boring machine, which was of small
diameter, and which was forced down
inside the drill casing. the samples
brought to the surface were not in
the same conditions as when cut
from the bottom The old machine,
it is claimed. compressed the speci-
men in taking it, so that the samples
of bottom material showed better
than they really were.
Just before Admiral Stanford left
he recommended the use of an i'm

riot-mad Japanese, the three hundred
strikers marched and cried for the
other workmen to join them. The
timely arrival of Frederick Maxine,
editor of the Hawaiian Hochi, of this

of damage being done to the tunnel
property, anG possible also saved per-
sonal injuries to the laborers and
foremen.
His action resulted in q majority
of the laborers returning to their work
this morning, yet there are many
Others, growing more heated each
hour, who have refused to return, and
are threatening the lives of those
who broke the strike, as we'll as in
citing other disturbances at Waiau.
To protect their lives and to check
the enraged strikers from carrying
out their threats, the workmen called
upon Division Superintendent Mar
shall for protection this morning. He
Immediately communicated with High

later Deputy Sheriff Jarrett left for
