EARTHQUAKE SHOCK
ANOTHER DISTURBANCE OF.
FICIALLY RECORDED.

Another earthquake shock was recorded
on the instruments of the weather bureau
here. beginning at IL o'clock last night
and continuing until an early hour this
morning. 1t is said it's origin may have
been at point west of Australia. in the
southern Indian ocean. 1t is also be
lieved to have been of conside rable In
tensity at its origin.
An official bulletin issued by Prof. VIII
lis l.. Moore, chief of the weather bureau,
today says:
Another considerable earthquake was
recorded on the seismogra phs at the
weather bureau. beginning at about II
pm October 20 and lasting for two
hours or more. We conclude from the
IA cords that the origin Of this earthquake
was at an unusually great distance from
Washington. While the amount of move
ment recorded here Is relatively very
small. only about one one hundredth Of an
inch. the dura ton of the so-cailed strong
motion was very great-about one hour;
and it would appear that the earthquake
must have been OF considerable intensity
at the origin.
Time Of the Tremors.
The preliminary tremors appear to
have begun at about IL pm, whe reas
the strong motion began at 11:&S pm
October 20. The earthquake ended about
lib am. October 81. 1t Is believed the
origin of this earthquake Is very different
from that of those recorded October 16
and II. and may perhaps be near the
antipodes of Washington, which Is a point
west of Australia. in the southern Indian
ocean,"
No report had been received up to a
late hour this afternoon from the seis-
mograph Of the coast and geodetic sur
Vey, which is located at {fha1fepba m
Md. One of the officials of the survey
stated that slight earthquake shocks are
recorded on the Cheltenham instrument
every few days. but that immediate re-
ports are made to Washington of severe
seismic disturbances only

FEDERAL COURT OFFICIALS.
Those In Porto Rico Must Submit
Estimates to Auditor of Island,

Attorney General Bonaparte has rem
dered a decision to the Treasury De-
partment that the officials Of the federal
court in Porto Rico are required to sub
NIT their expenditures Of money to the
auditor Of the island the same as other
departments OF the government Of the
territory. The decision settles a sharp
feud between the insular officers and the
federal court, which went so far at one
time as to threaten a mandamus to COM
pei the auditor to accept the certificate
Of the court as sufficient without further
auditing. The island civil government
however. stood pat upon law Of the last
legislature Of the island requiring the
auditor to audit all payments Of money
no matter what the purpose. As o result
of the dispute q number Of court officials
have not received salaries since July I.
The court authorities took position that
their affairs we're not 20 be bothered with

COURT ISSUES WRIT
MANDAMAs CASE AGAINST IN
sURANCE SUPERINTENDENT.

Justice Anderson. in Circuit Court No.
2. today ordered the writ Of mandamus
to issue against Thomas E. Drake, super
intendent of insurance in the District Of
Columbia. commanding him to issue to
James A. Bates & Co. license as in
surance agents for the year ending April
80, 1908.
The court held that the superintendent
Of insurance is as much bound to issue
a license to an insurance agent or broker
upon his application therefor and the
payment of the license fee as he is to
issue license to an insurance company
itself when 1t has compiled with the
provisions Of the code.
In this case. said the court. the petition
RS made demand upon the defendant for
license and rendered the $50 fee 1t then
became this duty Of Mr.. Drake to issue the
license as his duty in the premises was
simply ministerial.
Bates & Co.. In their petition, filed by
Attorneys Lambert & Mclean, and r. H.
Yeatman, complained to the court that
Mr.. Drake had declined to grant them a
license on their refusal to furnish him a
| list Of the persons with whom they had
done business that previous year. as we'll
as list Of persons to whom any commits
sion had been paid for securing bust
ness.
Says He Exceeded Authority.
The petitioners alleged that Mr.. Drake
exceeded his authority In requiring them
to furnish such lists, the latter of which
might have tended to incriminate them as
the code makes 1t misdemeanor to pay
a part commission to a person not IL
censed broker.
In concluding his opinion, Justice An
derson said:
THE superintendent Of insurance has
no power to read into the statute a pro-
vision that a license cannot be issued to
an insure ice agent or broker until the
company for which he proposed to act or
may possibly act has been first licensed.
Nor has he the right to impose upon
such applicant for license as a condition
precedent. that he shall either furnish
himself. or that the companies he repre-
sents or may represent shall furnish the
information demanded by the defendant
OF the Firemen's Insurance Company.
which the petitioners refused to furnish,
or although requested SO to do by such
company, because such would be in mani
fest derogation OF the statute"
The case is understood to be in the
nature Of q test. and the decision will be
