TWO GREAT QUAKES
Recorded BY Seismosraphs of Weather
Bureau At Washington.

Washington, March 27.-Two great
earthquakes were recorded at the
weather bureau last evening. Four ex-
cellent records of each shock were OBJ
tanned, in which all the details of the
phenomena are shown with great dis
tinctness. The first shock was much
greater than the second and began
with great distinctness at 6O9.22 P. M.
The second shock began with equal
distinctness at 1O.5422 P. NJ.
A very large earthquake also was re-
corded on the seismographs at the
magnetic observatory of the coast and
geodetic survey at Cheltenham, Mr.,
late Yesterday. The amplitude of the
vibration of the recording pen was so
great as to be carried to the limits of
the record sheet, which is six inches,
which corresponds to an actual wave
motion of six-tenths of an inch. 1t
appears that the disturbance could not
have had very distant origin.

The President, he said, did not agree

He insisted that the President had a

"A member of the House." Deikema
said, has q perfect right to defend his
position and in the spirit Of the utmost

At no time in the discussion, he said,
did the President display the least
symptoms of intolerance, "but at all
times the broadcast spirit of American
tolerance, such as has made our cOun-

history of his past career"
The Republicans applauded this ut
