ing from the Stimson building was all
ready half way constructed across Third
street. He Immediately ordered the
work stopped and took the case before
the board of public works The board
called in the city attorney and ordered
him to recommend what proceedings

GREAT EARTHQUAKES
ARE shaking SOME
PART OF THE GLOBE.
Siesmograph in Washington
Records Disturbances Long
Distance Away.
One Tremor Lasts Nearly Two
Hours and Is Unusually
Severe.

WASHINGTON. June 2.-The Weather
Bureau has issued the following bull
letin:
"The seismograph at the Weather Bu-
reau registered an earthquake of con-
siderable magnitude beginning at about
midnight of May 81 The strong por-
ton of the motion began at about 1924
a. m. on June and continued for about
eleven minutes The total duration of
the earthquake was nearly two hours.
Both the north and south and the east
and west components Of motion Were
recorded.
This is the first considerable earth
quake recorded at Washington since
the great San Francisco earthquake of
April Is. The indications from these
records show that the origin of the
present earthquake was at a much
greater distance from Washington than
San Francisco.
Professor Charles Marvin, in charge
of the instrument division at the
Weather Bureau. said that the vibra-
tion here conveyed no intImation to the
officials as to where the earthquake had
been, and indicated that in the last two
weeks similar shocks have occurred
quite frequently, being. as rule, more
severe than prior to that time. About
ten days before the earthquake in San
Francisco a vibration was recorded that
was much greater than last nights.
The vibration recorded here last night
was greater than any since the disaster
at San Francisco"
