ATTACK WAGGAMAN DEED
Trustees Seek to Get Back Property
for Catholic University.

Washington, Aug. 22-Attorneys for H
Hozier Dulaney. trustee in banbruptcv for
Thomas E. Waggaman who was treasurer of
the Catholic University until his failure in busi-
ness, about a year ago. to-day filed in the Dis
trict Supreme Court bill In equity against
Waggaman and John Riddout. trustees. The
proceeding is brought with a view TO securing
the sale Of what is known as woodley Park in
which Waggaman has large interest, and the
distribution of the money among the creditors
and to set aside preference under the bank
ruptcy law the deed of trust obtained from
waggaman by the Catholic University in July
1904. few weeks prior 10 his failure Seventy
five persons are named as defendants in the BILL
The validity OF the trust to the Catholic Uni
versity, amounting approximately TO S976O00
is challenged in the bill on the ground that it
is preference under the bankruptcy law and
that the university had reasonable ground to
believe when the trust was obtained that
preference was thereby intended.
The allegation is made that the Woodley Park
property is worth about S1,200OO0 against
which. according TO the attorneys for Dulaney
there are filed aliens TO the extent of $500 600
leaving an equity in the property Of about Ss4O.-
600. II the deed to the university is set aside
the attorneys say. the trustee in bankruptcy
should receive about $5O0OOot from the sale of
the property for distribution among the unse-
cured creditors.
1t is understood that the university will vigor-
ously resist the efforts TO vacate the trust Some
OF the notes secured by deeds of trust against
the property and which. the holders aIleee hava
not been paid, are held by well known individ-
uals and corporations, among them being the
Corcoran Gallery OF Art, S142, 700; GEORGETOWN
College, Sl2'5OO; the Louise Home, $4,000; Ad-
miral John G. Walker, $4,000; Admiral F. NJ
Ramsay, $1,000; the Catholic University $1,000
and Cardinal Gibbons 5000 No attack is
made on the validity Of these encumbrances in
the bill filed to-day
Prior to his failure, Mr.. Waggaman had been
extensively engaged in real estate operations for
many years in this city

movement in that borough this fall in an erfor,
TO oust the present Haffen Tammany admfnistra-
ton. Many Republicans and anti-Hanen Democrats

Men are beginning TO discuss names to oppose

SHAKEN BY EARTHQUAKE.
Seismic Disturbance Causes ETcite-

Chicago. Aug. 22.-Illinois was. shaken by an
the most severe in recent years. The shock In
the southern part of the State especially in the
region surrounding East st. Louis was psevere
enough to rattle dishes and furniture. cause
dogs to bark as If in alarm. and children to
awaken and cry. Houses creaked. and in, many
instances their occupants rushed out in terror,
fearing that the straining beams and joists
would give way
AS far north Springfield the shock was
distinctly felt. Further north it grew less per-
ceptiole, until in the region of Chicago it was
not noticed. although it is expected that the
delicate instruments placed in the office OF the
weather Bureau will. when examined. show
that a seismic disturbance was recorded. The
office was closed last night before the shock
came, and the instruments could not be con-
suited
Not only Illinois. but Western Kentucky and
parts of Tennessee and Indiana were shaken.
Messages from the different towns in those
states say that three distinct shocks in quick
succession were felt. The waves Of earth mo-
