HEAVY EARTHQUAKE
SHOCKS RECORDED
INSTRUMENTS SHOW STRONG
VIBRATION
Disturbance surpasses That Caused
by Temblor Which Destroyed
Kingston, but Less Than
at San Francisco
BY Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, July 1.-The coast
and geodetic survey service reports
that an earthquake was recorded at the
Cheltenham, Md, observatory this
morning, beginning at o'clock IA min
utes SO seconds and lasting one hour.
The principal disturbance was from 1922
to 1925 o'clock, the largest motion be-
ing in north-south direction.
The shock was comparatively greater
than that at Kingston, but not as
strong, as that of the San Francisco
earthquake.
A special bulletin issued by the
weather bureau says the seismographs
at the weather bureau today recorded
an earthquake of moderate intensity
which resembled III many respects the
record of the Kingston earthquake,
made on January IA, 1907. The first
preliminary tremors began at 8 o'clock
Ia minutes % seconds. with distinct
second beginning of the tremors after
an interval. A few minutes later sew
eral waves of noticeably long period
were recorded from 1922 to 1926 a. m.
The motion of the ground In the east
west direction began at 8:24:14 and con-
sisted of unusually minute and short
period tremors.
The beginning of the second tremors
in the east-west was very gradual at
about S:19:32. The maximum wave mo-
ton was recorded in the east-west COM
ponent at about S:25 to 1927 a. m. From
the general details of the record at
the weather bureau officials are led to
conclude that the disturbance may have
been south of Washington and at
distance of from 1900 to 1000 miles.
ALBANY, N. Y, July 1.-The seismo-
graph at the state museum measured a
fairly large earthquake movement to-
day. The first originated apparently at
remote point about 1000 miles to the
southwest The first effects were noted
at S:14 a. m. by small vibrations super
seded at 1923 by larger waves.
NEW YORK, July 1.-None of the
cable companies whose lines reach the
West Indies, Central and South Amer
lea have had any reports of wire dis
turbances or disarrangement such as
usually accompany serious earth
quakes.

NEW YORK, July IA policy in
forming the public of the details OF all
accidents on all railroads composing the
Hartman system was put into erect
today by order of e. H. Hartman ac-
cording to official announcement by the
Union Pacific. 1t is said that Mr.. Har-
riman has ordered that full reports shall
be made and promptly given to the
press concerning all accidents on the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific sys-
TENS and on the oregon Short Line.
It is also announced that it has been
decided as an experiment to invite out
siders of local reputation and standing
to be present and to participate In the
hearings Of the companies board of In
quiry in accidents, making formal re-
ports either agreeing or disagreeing
with the findings of the board.
The statement quotes the reports Oh
the interstate commerce commission TO
the effect that over 20 per cent OF the
serious collisions on American railways
during the past five years were due TO
On lines protected by block signals 81
per cent of the collisions are attributed
by the commission to negligence or
trainmen and signal operators. The
plan to make public full details con-
cerning accidents follows suggestion
made by Julius Kruttschnitt, director
of maintenance and operation of the
Hartman lines, who said:
personal responsibility for accidents,
whether of officials or laborers, should
be known to the public. We must bring
about closer observance of the rules and
greater respect for danger signals than
we now get from our employees. This
can be done only by the widest publicity
of the details of accidents"
The Union Pacific also announces thai
It's steel rails for delivery next year will
be made by the open hearth process
which it is expected will decidedly
lessen the number of breakages.
