FIRST SECTION
NAVALDRYDOCk
NOW COMPLETED
Huge Slab of Concrete Floated
to Its Permanent Location
At Pearl Harbor

Supported by huge chains to a pom
teon of its own size, the first con-
crete section Of the Pearl Harbor ma
val dryGocx was successfully floated
into position at the land end of the
drydock slip yesterday, and Is today
being inspected. 1t will probably not
be released from the pontoon which
is floating it, and sunk in place, until
tomorrow or Monday.
Under perfect weather conditions,
with hardly any breeze, and the va
ter calm, the huge block, weighing
more than 10000 tons, was lifted from
the temporary drydock where it was
formed and where it has been cur
'ng'' for a sufficient length Of time.
The pontoon lifted the huge mass
with ease and in a short time 1t was
toWed up the 1000 foot slip into posi-
ton above its permanent resting
place
The first section is 60 by 1872 feet
in dimension, and Is feet from top to
bottom. There will be II Of these
sections, which are to rest on piling
which has already been driven and
filled in with crushed rock, making 4
level floor of rock and piling on which
the sections will lie.
After all the sections are laid a
heavy concrete surfacing will be pour
ed over their tops, so that the drydock
floor will be one solid mass Of con-
crete for its 1o00-foot length, all per-
fectly level and large enough to hold
the longest dreadnought of the United
States navy.
Today's and yesterdays handling Of
the first slab of concrete was watch
ed by Stetson G. Hindes of San Fran
cisco, president of the San Francisco
Bridge Company, contractors for the
drydock; +. B. Drydock'') Smith,
superintendent OF the. work for the
contractors, and r. W. Atkinson, man.
ager of the Hawaiian Dredging COM
pany. Ltd, which dredged out the
debris from the original drydock
which buckled from water pressure
two years ago just before its first
test. -,
The new drydock is being built in
sections out of water, where the
concrete for the Old one was poured
under water. 1t is the first time in
the history Of American engineering
that this plan has been followed; and
engineers are watching its progress
with keen interest. -.

DEMAND LARGER

STRONG STOCKS
Dealings Are Limited When
Holders Refuse Higher
Offers for Shares -,

Inquiries for the more stable diVi.
dend paying stocks in the list were
largely in excess Of offerings this
morning, brokers reported. Even
higher prices did not bring any large
increase in offerings and this feature
was commented upon freely. Where
sales are small the reason Is usually
assigned that buyers are not In the
market, but members of the local ex.
change remarked that exactly the re-
verse Of that condition existed today.
Oahu was much in demand and sold
up to 43R at the session. Pioneer,
which rose 81 Thursday. was at 53A;
Hawaiian Commercial was 52A; Eva
32A and Waialua 1914. San Carlos,
Of the lower priced stocks, advanced
sharply to Is. kahuku advanced to
231a, the asking price of yesterday.
Olaa sold at 20h and McBryde was
1872.
Sales Exceed 400 Shares.
But the curb attracted no such at
tention as did the sugar stocks. Com
paratively little attention was given to
unlisted securities and changes in
quotations were unimportant. ....s

PROMISE TO EXPEDITE ALL
MAILS CENSORED.
Identical Replies From England and
France to Be Made Public
Tomorrow.

Washington, D. C.-Some radical
changes in the treatment of mails on
neutral ships are promised in the re-
ply of the British and French govern
nents to the American protests
against interference with mails. The
changes, while short of an abandon
ment of the contention of the right
to search for information of value 10
an enemy, are regarded by the allies
as sufficient to meet the wishes of the
United States.
Great Britain and France contend
they have a right to seize and open
all mail passing through their ports,
but give pledges that all mail will be
expedited hereafter.
The text of the reply was not made
public, but the allies are understood
to give renewed promises that every
effort will be made to minimize delay
and annoyance caused by examina-
ton, but to insist upon certain legal
rights in regard to mails which the
United States has denied.
The notes, which are identical, will
be made public Sunday morning.

PRIZE LAWS.
Holland Informed Full Indemnity viii
Be Paid If 8Ioomersdiika Was
Sunk UnlawfuIly.

The Hague, Netherlands. - The
Dutch government has received
from the German legation a state
ment that implicit instructions had
been given commanders of German
submarines to sink neutral steamships
in no case unless the vessels could
be destroyed in accordance with the
German prize law. Therefore it was
considered extremely unlikely that the
captain of the Bloomersdijka was told
by the captain Of the submarine
which sank the steamship that he
would send to the bottom every ship
which otherwise might touch a Brit
ish port. Such a statement, it was
pointed out, would have been com
pletely opposed to the orders given
the commander.
The government also was informed
that should it be proved the Bloom
ersdijka's sinking was not in accord
ance with German law, Germany
would grant indemnity for the vessel
and cargo without submitting the mat
ter to a prize court.

Toxic, Japan.-The Togo Kisen
Kaisha is building two large passen-
ger steamships, each of about 1900
tons gross, for service to San Fran
cisco. One will be called the San
Francisco Maru but the name of the
second has not yet been selected. The
liners will have a length of about

is estimated at % knots, making them
the fastest and largest on the

to suffer to such an extent that she

Gould System Plans.

SSAt0 SJShShfh N'S
Plans for the reorganization of the
Missouri Pacific & Iron Mountain
Railroad System were submitted to
the state public service commission
recently by M. L. Utter of New York
City, representing the banking house
of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., of New York,
they being the reorganization a
ayers. The commission set the appli-
cation for hearing October II.
The plan is substantially the n
agreed upon last June. 1t provides
for a total capitalization of the en-
tire system of $3.50, 642,282 and an
nual interest charges of $~9,9S4,447.
The proposed decrease in the fund
ed debts is $51, 1888 ,05S, a decrease a
mile of 1896, amounting to more
than IA per cent, and a decrease in
interest charges of $3,046,941 a year.
The holders of common stock are to
pay $50 a share for new common
stock.
1t is estimated this will produce
SAL 1872, which the managers can
apply to the payment of gold notes
to a similar value. The new securi-
ties the reorganization managers de-
sire to issue are as follows: First
r~efunding 5 per cent $4,92S,15O;
general mortgage bonds, 4 per cent,
$51,350,792; preferred stock, 5 per
cent, ST., SO0,135; common stock $780,

ALLIES LOOK FOR U-BOAT WAR
Prepare to Circumvent German Flo
tiila Sent to Prey on Trans
Atlantic Trade.

Washington, D. C.-British naval
authorities are preparing for a series
Of German submarine raids on this
side of the Atlantic. 1t was learned
in diplomatic circles that information
had reached both England and France
that several flotillas of submarines
will leave Germany shortly headed for
this side, to make an organized at
tempt to halt and sink munition and
supply ships. These vessels will op-
crate in twos and threes to meet the
problem growing out of the fact that
hereafter all Anglo-French merchant
men will be armed "for defense"
In order to meet the problem it is
expected here that certain freight
and munitions will be diverted from
ports south of Nantucket. A safe
refuge will be provided for cargo
ships probably by placing nets, in
the Bay of Fundy and st. Johns
harbor, such as now is in force off
Northern Scotland and the Irish coast,
will be made effective.

Evrard,, Name Not On Ballot

@NNaN4 NN4AN~ W. ~
Secretary OF State Roach IN a let
ter TO |. N. Evrard OF Marshall 70
fuses to certify his name as the Re
publican nominee for superintendent
Of public schools. There is no vac
ancy, he says, under the laws and
constitution of the state. He notified
all party committees likewise that he
will not certify any nominations for
this office.
Roach holds that when Gov. Major
appointed Uel W. Lamkin of Clinton
to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Howard A. Gass last month
that this appointment was for the
rest of the Gass term, which would
be until Jan. 1, 1919.
In his letter Roach says there Is
ample time for a court review of his
ruling if any is desired.
The constitution provides, says the
letter, that the superintendent OF
public schools shall be elected at the
general election in the year 1878 and
every four years thereafter. Section
1898 R. S. of Mo. 1909 provides for
the filling of vacancy in the office Of
state superintendent of public schools
in the following language: "In case
of vacancy occurring in said office by
death, resignation or otherwise the
governor shall fill the same by ap-
pointment, who shall hold mis- office
until the next general election"
81 am in receipt of an opinion from
the office of the attorney general sus-
tanning me in the conclusions l have
herein expressed"
