II. ~. POWERS A Suicide.
Former Wall Street broker Kills Himself
In His brooklyn Home.

Henry H. Powers. who was once a mem
Der of the Stock Exchange, shot himself
through the head at his home at 1889 Bergen
street, Brooklyn, early yesterday morning
His suici de is attributed to worry over his
wife's health, although it wal also said that
he had been unfortunate in what little specu-
lating he had done recently, which may ha We
preyed upon his mind.
Powers was 5s years old. He was for
merly a member Of the firm of Whitmore
& Pc wers and did a good business in stocks.
The firm met with financial reverses in the
PAM @ of 1893, which caused Powers to sell
hi 3 seat on the exchange. Since that time
he had done more or less dabbling with
stocks and visited Wall Street nearly every
d ay. He was not a large customer and few
D eople besides his old friends knew him.
Powers bought a new revolver on Sat
urday night, showing that he had planned
then to kill himself. His wife is about to
undergo an operation and he seemed to
be worried over 1t. His daughter Jennie
called her father yesterday morning at
I o'clock, but he told her that he was not
ready to get up and would be down later
She went up a few minutes after ward with
a cup of coffee for him and found him dying.
He was dead by the time a physician arrived
The Powers family lived for a long time
in Plainfieid, NJ. They moved to the,Ber
gen street home three years ago. Mr..
Powers lea yes a widow and five children.

WOULD CONDEMN ASTOR LAND
Railroad Says the Trustees Want an Tn.
reasonable Price.

Decision was reserved yesterday by
Supreme Court Justice Giegerioh in the
Supreme Court on an application by the
New York, Westchester and Boston Rail
way Company for permission to acquire
one and three-quarters acres at the Boston
Post road and White Plains road for the
purpose OF completing its road from nth
street to Mount Vernon.
The land is part Of u tract Of thirty-two
acres belonging to the Aston estate. The
company asserts that the land is all farm
land and is not worth more than s. 900
an acre, being assessed at 1921 900. The
trustees. Douglas Robinson n James
Roosevelt, have refused to permit the
railway company to enter upon the land
unless il pays 1920 900 for It.
John G. Milburn appeared for the trus-
tees and maintained that the company de-
sired to obtain the land at a price far below
it's value.

dislocation Of the earth's crust. Along
this line ara commonly DUN very abrupt
changes in the normal slope Of the valleys

known IA scarps.
The report then deals technically with
the extent Of the riffs or lines Of dislocation.
which run obliquely through the entire
breadth OF the coast range. 1t says that
every movement in this line from the
earliest periods produced IN earthquake.
The movements are caused by stress on
the crust, which accumulates until it ex-
ceeds in strength the rocks composing
the crust and finds relief in hidden ruptures.
The earthquake of April IS was due to one
OF these movements.
The extent of the rift has not yet been
fully ascertained but 1t extends certainly
from Alder Creek, near Point Arena, to
county, about 1873 miles. The great length
Of the rift upon which the movement
occurred makes this earthquake unique.
Within am hour Of the main shock twelve
minor shocks we're observed at the Berkeley
observatory. Before 7 p. NJ. of the same
day thirty-one shocks we're noted in addi-
ton to the main disturbance.
The mino shocks are attributed to sub
ordinate adjustments OF the earth's crust.
