ROWLAND ON EARTHQUAKES.

Johns Hopkins Professor Tells Some
of the Theories Regarding Them.
Regarding the earthquake of yesterday
Prof. Henry A. Rowland Of Johns Hop
kins University said to a reporter for the
Baltimore Sun:
Earthquakes are phenomena that scien-
lists do not yet clearly understand. 1t is
difficult to determine what causes them.
Some assert that they are caused by
waters Of the sea pouring into crevices in
the earth's crust and thus coming into con-
tact with the fiery elements in the earth's
center. The result of this would be similar
to gigantic boiler explosion.
"Other theorists hold that earthquakes are
| caused by the contraction of the earth's
crust. The earth is constantly cooling, and
1t is held that the outer crust necessarily
contracts. This is sometimes done by fits
and starts. and immense shelves of rocks
portions of the earths outer skin, or strata
after being subjected to immense pressure
suddenly yield to the strain and overlap
each other. Done under great pressure and
over large territory. this causes a dis
turbance Of the earths surface, which is
plainly felt and which we call an earth
quake. Scientists of today seem generally
inclined to this latter theory.
mo one can predict the coming of an
earthquake nor why 1t Is felt in certain
localities more than In others except upon
the theory that disturbances In the crust
Of the earth are generally regional and the
waves sent out die away after time
These waves move more rapidly than sound
and also have about the same horizontal
velocity from heavy as from a light
quake. This velocity is somew where in the
| neighborhood of mile a second. There is
| really very slight backward and forward
| movement Of the earth's surface. Such a
| movement of an inch would throw down
| nearly every building under which it
passed.
Earthquakes are more frequent in vol
canic countries" continued Prof. Rowland
because the earths crust Is thinner there
and not because of the presence of the VOL
canoes. The fact Of volcanoes existing is
proof of the thinness of the carth's
crust. In Japan. where earthquakes are Of
\ frequent occurrence. scientists have set
themselves to study the phenomena. The
| seismograph, an instrument especially de-
signed for the purpose, Is much used there
| 1t Is little used in this country because a
railroad train passing within a mile and a
| half OF 1t disturbs II.
| ''The earthquake tremors felt here were
| no doubt caused by the contraction of the
| earth's crust somewhere beneath this Sec
| tion Of the country"

TRAIN STRIKES A TALLY-Ho,
Five Of the Occupants Are Killed and
Several More Injured.


Five young people were killed and num-
Der of others injured in an accident which
occurred yesterday afternoon at Valley
Stream, L. I. A tally-ho, with a party of
twenty-one excursionists from the Greene
Avenue Baptist Church, Brooklyn, which
started out for days outing through
Long Island, was struck by train on the
Long Island railroad at the Merrick boulr-
ward crossing, and these were instantly
killed:
George F. Fashley, jr., S24 Halsey street.
Brooklyn: William Gilchrist, jr., 233 Rut-
lege street, Brooklyn; Winslow Lewis, De
kalb avenue, Brooklyn: Lester E. Roberts,
Monroe street. Brooklyn; Miss Dora
Burtsch, Stuyvesant avenue. Brooklyn.
The injured were: Emma BRUCE skull
fractured; Clara Stuart, skull fractured; /;
Mrs. Anna Andrews. both legs broken:
lawrence Barnes, scalp wound: Walter
Wellbrock. both thighs fractured; John
Lewis. bruises; Edward Mccormick, driver
OF the coach, badly injured; Earl Barnes
slightly injured; Miss Pashley back broken;
T1llie Horn, severe shock: Edna Bulmer,
severe shock; Richard Bates, scalp wound; ;
Bessie ellison, scalp wound; Miss Debetts,
leg broken and head injured; Miss Ray
Stillman, badly injured.
Some of the dead were frightfully man
gled. The body Of Lester W.. Roberts was
ground to pieces. The body of Miss Burch
was also badly mangled. Winslow Lewis
had his neck broken, both legs were broken,
and his head was badly gashed, and he was
severely cut about the body.
The crash came almost without warning,
and the occupants Of the coach had no time
to make any effort to escape. Before the
most of them knew Of the impending
danger the train was upon them. and the
coach was upset and the engine pushing
1t along the rails, the dead and injured be-
ing cut and mangled beneath 1t.
The train that struck the tally-ho was
bound east from Mineola. 1t was not rum
ming fast when the accident happened, and
accounts differ as to whether the whistle
was blown. It is also a matter of dispute
whether the bell was being rung. It Is
claimed by some that 1t was. and that the
merry party on the coach was making SO
much noise that the driver could not hear
the bell,

HOWARD MANN THE VICTOR.
GnllOps OF Easily With the Brooklyn
Handicap Stakes.

Howard Mann galloped home, almost
alone. in the Brooklyn Handicap at
Gravesend yesterday afternoon. The crowd
was like that on the day the long shot Di-
abolo walked off with the stake, for there
was scarcely an inch of space in the grand
stand or on the lawn that was not occu-
pied when the race was being run. There
was little hope of large assemblage in
the early morning hours, for a heavy fog
hung over the land and drlzzling rain was
falling at intervals. 1t was the usual luck
Of the Brooklyn Jockey Club, as it has
rarely had really good day and track for
rain ceased, the sun began to dissipate the
fog and by the time people were beginning
to think Of starting for the race track it
was beautiful spring day. By the time
the post there were fully $4,000 people
present. All the entries looked absolutely
fit and able to run for their lives, and
Handspring seemed the king of them all
as he pranced at the head Of the string
He was undoubtedly the favorite.
There was much surprise at the appear
ance OF Howard Mann, but he had been
sent instead of The Winner, as he was a
but few minutes and made but one false
break. At half-past the starter caught
them in line. the barriar was raised. the
red flag swished through the ar and the
journey, at the end Of which $4,000 was
hung up for the leaders,.

CHURCHILL ON POLYNESIA
Talks on SamoanS and Origin Of Other
Pacific Nations.
Theory that Hawaii was Peopled from Samoa
Ancient Relics Exhibited Hawaiian
Historical Society.

More than a hundred people EN-
joyed the lecture of Hon. W.
Churchill at the Y. M. G. A. yes.
teiday evening Oh the subject of
Samoa and The origin of Polyne
sian races. The speaker interested
his audience for more than an
hour. He talked in an easy, con-
versational way, reading at times
from portfolio.
Many of the speakers deduc-
tons from Samoan folk lore differ.
ed from accounts supplied by Ha
waiian et!nclogists from Polyne-
sian traditions. 1t was eurprise
to many to learn that Samoa was
the center from which the people
Of the Pacific sprang. Hawailan
traditions point farther south. In
the papers of the Hawaiian His
toricai Society is evidence OF mi
gratiops hi,her from Tahiti. Pos
sibly there we've different arrivals
here from the south.
Mr.. Churchill displayed a
Samoan talking stick" also ex.
hibted n war club with a clear
tradition five hundred years back
He believed the club was older
still aud used, as its name indicst
ID, at the battle of Matama'ame.
This was a fight between natives
of the island OF Upolu with tres.
pa. sers or invaders f,om other
islands, whom the Upoluans cali
ed Tongans and managed to chase
off to their canoes. The people
thus rapu!sed went to various
lands including Hawaii. Savaii,
name of the laIgest island in the
Samoan or Navigator's group,
was suggested by the lecturer as
having been the origin of tue
name "Hswaii."
Mr.. Churchill gave the native
account of the origin Of the royal
lines Of Samoa, most of it silly as
aboriginal Polynesian tradition
usually is. Such matter Is, how
ever,ot impo, lance TO the ethnolo
gist from the points of similarity
between traditions of different
nations or tribes.
AT the conclusion of the lecture,
President w. II. Castle asked if
there was any business to come
before the society. W. L. Allen
rose and proposed Mr.. Churchill
~ corresponding member, and
the proposition being seconded by
jos, Emerson WAS carried unani
mously. The president then an
nounced the annual meeting next
