SEEKING CAUSE
Of EARTHQUAKE.
Biologists Find Evidence Of Part
inq Of Mountain Ranges West
Of Redwood City.
IMMENSE CREvICE IN EARTH.
In Places Six Inches Wide and Traced
For Over -Four
Miles.

San Francisco May 4-Cieologlsts who
have been at work since the earthquake
with the object of finding traces that
would establish the cause OF the dis
turbance, have found In the mountain
range west Of Redwood city what APP
pears to be indlsputablc evidence that
their theory Of the parting Of the noun
tain ranges along the crest Is cor
rect one. The summit Of mountains, a
short distance above the village Of
Woodside, there Is an immense crew
Ice in the earth, the appearance OF
which indicates that the range split
at the top and the side nearer the
ocean fell away toward the sea,
This crevice is at places from three
TO six inches wide; 1t has been fol-
lowed by the surveyors for a distance
OF more than four miles along the
crest OF the range. At places the crack
in the range is of considerable depth
and at other points the evidence shows
that the parting OF the great mass of
rock and earth was followed by par
tial closing OF the gap. The split fol-
lows the line Of the range, north and
south, this being the general direction
OF the earthquake shock.
DR.. John G.. Branner, head OF the
department OF geology at Stanford uni
versty, has sent a Number of assistants
into the field to make exhaustive study
Of all the changes In the geological for
nation. They have examined the fault
along the mountain range and have
made maps OF the entire district, The
data thus obtained will be published IN
the form of report under Dr. Bran
ner's direction.
A year ago Dr. Branner's class in ge-
ology mapped the same region. Their
Investigations now shw that I'm the
interval between that time and the
present, the region west Of the crevice
now appearing at the crest OF the
range has fallen away toward the sea.
At places the discrepancy Is as much
as two feet, thus showing that the ex-
IRENE western side OF the range is
parting from the old location ana
moving toward the ocean. The sliding
OF such an immense body Of ground
would be sufficient, say the BIOLOGISTS,
to cause such a shock as that OF April
IS.
one student engaged upon the work
under the direction Of the geological
corps was injured the other day and
has been taken 10 his home In great
suffering. His name Is Luther Lane,
Junior. He was standing on the

IRISH WOES AIRED
IN PARLIAMENT
University Representing. the In
terests of the Roman Catholic
Majority Is Demanded.

London, March 23.-Irish legislative
grievances were debated at length last
night in the house Of commons. Irish
members declared that the existing
system was deplorable and that Ireland
would never rest; until she obtained a
university representing the interests Of
the Roman Catholic majority. George
Wyndham, chief secretary for Ireland
in the Balfour cabinet, also spoke
strongly in favor Of reform, declaring
that if Ireland were given the same
facilities for education as England
possessed, old feuds would be appeased.
James Bryce, the new chief secretary
for Ireland, on behalf Of the govern
ment, made a conciliatory speech, adj
hitting the existence of the grievances:
He said the government had not had
time to formulate policy, but the mat,
ter had constant attention and he did
not despair Of finding a scheme to
reconcile the conflicting interests. The
government, he added, also was consid
ering a scheme to promote the study
of the Goelic language. -.
John MURPHY, nationalist, member fol
the east division of Kerry, who intro
duced the amendment raising the dis
cussion, expressed satisfaction with Mr.
Bryce s reply and withdrew the amend
ment.

Influences Of Russia's Court Won
for Plan to Link Alaska
and Siberia.

st. Petersburg, March 23.-The sym
pathy Of Emperor Nicholas, Premier
Witte and other members of the minis
try, as we'll IS three powerful influences
at court, have been enlisted by Baron
Leicq de Lobel in the project Of the
American Trans Alaskan Siberian COM
pany for the construction Of a tunnel
railway to connect it with the Siberian
railway. The opposition Of portion
of the bureaucracy, which fought the
scheme bitterly because the negotia-
lions were conducted over it's head, is
breaking down.
In addition to the general benefits
which will accrue by the development
of the resources Of northeastern Siberia,
the imperial family will reap profits
from an immense extent of private land.
The national defense committee con-
siders the project as. essential from a
strategic point of view, and more i'm
portant still, there is in the higher gov
eminent spheres distinct disposition
to cultivate the United States as Rus
STA s natural ally in the far east: It is
believed that by interesting Americans
in Siberia, the political ties will be
strengthened.

| A statement to this effect has been
submitted by Foreign Minister Lans

which has been considering the project.
This statement really amounts to an i'm

is evident from the following extract
"From the standpoint of general
policy. the project is considered more

eign capital. and especially American. in

A Clever, Short Story.

"The Eloquence Of Amos Prlestley
is the leading short story, contributed
by Anne O'Hagen, to The Jour
NAILS Sunday Magazine next Sunday.
Her theme was found in the happenings
at one of those reunions which the sons
and daughters of the various states are
in the habit of holding annually. Judge
Priestley was the orator, at tho New
York banquet Of the Sons Of the Rock
Ribbed State; and he had just begun in
his peroration a tribute to 8 The Women
of Our State" when his eyes fell upon
the pale face of a woman intently lis
tening in the gallery. The flow Of his
cloquence was checked, but after few
seconds he was able to take up his
theme again and briefly finished his
speech. Twenty-Five years before, a
loving couple in little New England
town were separated by one Of those I'M
fortunate financial reverses which hap
pen so unaccountablY at inopportune
times Marriage under the circum-
stances seemed impossible to both Of
them, and they each ;drifted west, she
to struggle for funds to make good a
fathers defalcation and he to rise in
eminence in his profession. But the

them all the. while, and he; worked his
way with them in. the end.

A GROWING TOWN.

Rosecrans is about to have big boom.
The village has the material that makes
for progress and expansion, Rosecrans
can not be properly sized up" by the
comparatively few buildings it now
contains, but rather by our sturdy,
public.spirited citizens, such as are
necessary to the work of building up a
town. Rosecrans is located on the new
Manitowoc Green Bay line of the Chi
cago & North Western railway. It's site
and situation can not fail to prove
inviting to people in all small villages
surrounding it. 1t has already com
mended itself to people in adjoining
districts, for outsiders, as we'll as our
own people, are beginning to buy prop
erty here; and number of new homes
WILL in all likelihood, be established
here in the near future.
A handsome depo. and section house
already adorn the prosperous village to-
be; and methinks see puissant town
with loyal, public-spirited men of high
emprise who are first, last and all the
time for Rosecrans. This station has
been called Maryhel by the railroad
officials, but the people here SO love the
good old name Rosecrans that a petition
has been sent in to the postmaster
general requesting him that the former
name be restored to this place.
Among other buildings that will
spring up in the near future will be: a
fine, large elevator and postotfice. A
stock yard will be completed within a
short time New stores and hotels will
also be established The writer expects
to erect large modern hotel, which, in
grandeur, will surpass anything in this
vicinity. Our motto will be: Boom
Rosecrans'.
