SUPPORTS FOR
CONCRET DROP
NHILERluIRIvG
Harbor Board Awaiting Return
of Forbes for Decision
on Pier Work

Because one of the supports on
which concrete was being poured on
Piers s, 8 and 10 gave way beneath
the weight Of the material-some ~
tons-and dropped for a distance OF
about four inches, members of the
board of harbor commissioners made
a hurry-up call to the construction site
yesterday afternoon. r.
Inspector William Greger summon
ed the commissioners Immediately aft:
er the giving way Of the support, and
though Chairman Charles r. Forbes
was not in the city, such members as
could go hurried down, taking excep-
tion to the work in order to protect
the territory. ....>
The question now for the board to
decide is whether or not the drop OF
the supports on the outer edge caused
any material damage to the pier,
which question, will be put up to
Chairman Forbes for decision Ipon his
return to the city from Hilo Not be-
ing engineers the commissioners de-
cline to pass upon 1t, 49,. '.." - ..
After the supports had dropped Ed
Lord, president Of the Lord-Young En-
gineering Company, ordered more con-
crete poured on the place as practical
ly the only thing to do before the
mix had settled, and taking his chance
upon having to tear up the work. ~
Lord stated informally to commits
sioners today that he does not believe
the dropping of the forms has, weak
ened the pier. Gregor has also filed
a report on the work which will be
read to the board at its meeting next
Wednesday unless a special meeting
is called before. Concrete and sup
ports dropped together, and the sec
ond pouring was necessary to level
the mass up to the proper height
The square which dropped Is about Is
by 40 feet, In case it has to be torn
up 1t may necessitate the tearing up
of other squares already completed,
it was stated today. "
1t is thought the support dropped
because one of the bolts holding up
the big timbers had not been put in.
The timber had been used at the end
of the wharf where support came
from the street wall, and where only
one bolt was needed. 1t is said that
in the second use of the timber only
one bolt was used again when two
should have been inserted. -....

I Schofield Barracks some months

the ground that Hawaiian sunlight af-
fected his eyes and made him unfit

Although the sentence and the re-
suit of the trial of Capt. Waring, in
this case which attracted the atten-
tion of army officers over the entire
country, have never been given out, the
Associated Press despatch bears out
the general belief that he was found

dents decision in the matter"
Capt. Waring made no further COM
ments on the case. He is 22nd in
rank among captains Of the army
medical corps, which means that by
the presidents order he will be drop
PED to 47th in the list, but not dis
missed from the army. III.

SAY OUTSIDERS
MUST KEEP THEIR
HANDSOFFSTRIKE

Following his return from Maui
Consul General Moroi has investigat-
ed the situation which has arisen out
of the recent waterfront strike. He
has talked with Representatives of the
union and with non-union men and
with employers of stevedoring labor.
He thinks it matter in which out
siders cannot interfere. .: p.
Today Consul General Mofoi spoke
feelingly on the matter and said: /
regret that a strike of the stevedores
still exists. My opinion is that the
union Japanese must settle for them
selves the difficulties that have come
to them for their own actions / am
confident there is some person behind
this strike and trouble who stirs up
the people and / believe the respon-
sible person or persons must settle
it and not outsiders" -.....

ACTION AGAINST
BOND COMPANY
ISFORS20,O00

Especial Star-Bulletin Correspondence)
HlLO, Oct 27.-Another develop
ment has taken place in connection
with the various suits now being
brought between the American Surety
company, the National Surety Compa-
nv and Contractor George Marshall of
the Hilo breakwater extension.
Attorney J. w. Russell has filed pa
pers in the fourth circuit court in Hilo
whereby Marshall proceeds against
the American Surety Company and
the National Surety Company for the
recovery of the bond which those con-
Germs jointly gave when they began
the injunction suit against Marshall.
The attorney for the contractor
claims that the latter has suffered
great loss through his work being held
I'D, through his not being able to pay
the wages of his employees and through
much worry and anxiety caused by
the acts of the surety companies. The
suit is for the recovery OF $780,
600 and was begun last Wednesday.
All Hilo is interested in the affair,
for every day of delay through law
suits means a further delay in the con-
struction of the breakwater, which
has been going on rapidly for months
past. An average of 10000 tons of
rock per month has been placed on
the breakwater for months past and
everything was going on smoothly.
There is a tremendous amount Of
rock In view at Waipio and at Waia-
kea and the two quarries are ready
to supply all the rock that is neces-
sary to complete the present section
of the structure.
