"This will never do declared the Fa-
ganites, who care not for Republicans or
Democrats. I'VE must get up a counter
attraction Immediately few Fagan-
ties in the Fremont Club, in the Hudson
City section, decided that the Fremont
Club ought to have celebration of its
own. The purpose was to keep as many
Republicans as possible away from the
Minkakwa's celebration. This dog in the
manger policy, which only the Faganites
know how to practice, failed dismally.

Many Democrats who voted for Mayor
Pagan because they entertained the fool
ish notion that he was opposed to boss
ism now realize that it was case Of
going from the frying fire into the fire.
There never was greater boss in local
politics than this same Mayor Fagan.
Not an appointment is made in any
branch of the municipal government
without his approval and a man who has
not proven his worth as Fagan worker
has a chance of getting a job.

While the Pagan office holders and
would-be office holders of the Hudson
City section stayed away from the Min
kakwas, the celebration was complete
success. Delegations of Republicans
from all over the city filled the hall to
overfowing. Prosecutor Speer, one Of
the orators, was in fine humor and he
did not mince words in referring to the
attempts of the Faganites to wreck the
party that gave them the prominence
they now enjoy.

would like to have evaded the law by
crowding out several organization Re
publicans who had won place at the

that there should be no manipulating of

Of the anniversary of the birth Of the
Republican party. The Minkakwa Club,
which, until the Faganites began to un-

X The Japanese know moro about EARTH

have more opportunities to study s.

set In various angles Of the perpen-

measure the vibrations and tremors

DR.. Hayes expressed the opinion this

or San Francisco.
Major Clarence E. Dutton, U. s. A..
retired. Of Edgewood N. j., one of the
worlds leading authorities on earth
quakes and volcanoes, ridicules the cur
rent notion that there was any con-
nectlon between the Vesuvlus eruptions
and the California earthquake. and de-
clnres there Is no likelihood of n tidal
wave following the earthquake. EIe says
the eruptions and the earthquake are
too widely separated In distance and
time, and that a tidal wave could only
have appeared within half hour Of
tho greatest shock.

Professor O. II. Tittman, chief of tho
United States Coast and Geodetio Survey
said to-day that he would not be sur
prlsed to learn from later reports that
there had been volcanic eruptions In
Alaska. There arc known to be several
yoncanos in more or less active state
4 In Alaska, and 1t is believed that the
great upheaval In the earth which caused
the California disturbance may have af-
fected some of these volcanoes.
Commenting on the fact that the earth

seismic expert OF the Geological Survey
to-day said that later reports would prob
ably show that tho tremor had been felt
In all parts OF the world, at least suffi-
ciently to affect delicate se!smogrnph III
