ing the drydock at Pearl Harbor. The
report submitted by Attorney-general
McReynolds was responsible for some
change in plans. = Construction of the
drydock will be resumed and prose
cuted on the old elines.
When requested for an opinion the
attorney.general held that if any modi-
.fication or enlargement of speeifica-
tions was made the contractors would
be automatically released from liabil-
ity and responsibility. Any substitu-
ton Of the changes suggested by AL
fred Noble, the eminent civil engi-
.neer, would make necessary additional
contracts and payments to the con-
tractors
= A decision was reached by Secretary
Daniels to have the contractors pro-
eeed with the work. 1t became their
duty to replace the bottom of the
drydock in the same condition it exist
ed prior to the sinking caused by
coral insects. The loss entailed by
this work will fall entirely upon the
contractors
When the bottom is restored, if pos
sible, the contractors will have COM
pleted their undertaking. II a subse-

Asserting that the old civil service
commission assumed powers not given

clearly ultra wires. Judge William s.
Edings, chairman of the commission,
announced this morning that sweep.
Ing changes Will be made in the rules
and regulations OF the body, and that
the rules pertaining TO the police and
IRE departments viii be completely
abolished.
This will be done, or a greater part
OF It. this evening, he said, when the
new commissioners meet formally for
the first time since their appointment
by Mayor J. j. Fern. Chairman led.
inys implied that he has gone over
the situation carefully with his fell
low commissioners and that they arc
IN harmony on the course OF action.
Judge Edings has taken q restrfc-

It was on this point that the first
clash between the supervisors and the
commission came, which did not end
until the members were out Of Office
Judge Edings. by HIS announcement,
has given strong reason TO believe
that the new commission and the
board will work in harmony.
Aside from abolishing the rules and

will be made in the rules of the com
mission. The question or appeal viii

mo- INTENTION TO ABANDON SITE OF
PEARL HARBOR DRYDOCE, DANIELS
By C. S. ALBERT
Especial Star Bulletin Correspon


quent sinking occurs Secretary, DAN
iels viii consider the Noble plans for
adjusting the bottom in other ways,
The expease fncfdent Is quite large.
Congress will be asked to pass upon
the plan and furnish the money re-
quired.
It was the original intention of the
secretary of the navy to utilize i'm
mediately the plans presented by Mr..
Noble, He proposed appearing before
the proper house committee, state the
circumstances and urge an apprOpri-
alton of the needed funds. The exc
cution of this determination was pre-
vented by the opinion of Attorney
general McReynolds, holding that the
contractors would thereby be released
from all responsibility and liability.
1t is explained by Secretary Dan
iels that there is no purpose of aban-
doning the dry dock at Pearl Harbor
If completion along present lines is
impossible the Noble plan will be ta-
ken up. The suggestion of drydock
on the Pacific coast is only in addi-
tion to that at Pearl Harbor, and not
as a substitute for it, Naval officials
believe there should be a drydoek at
some suitable Pacific coast point for
use in the event of Pearl Harbor be-
ing cut eff during hCstilities with
some foreign power.
