TIDAL WAVE IS RECORDED ON
 SEISMOCRAPH
(special from United Press. ]

Especial from United Press
 Washington, Aug. 6.-The belief that e tidal wave or perhaps several such manifestations occurred in the Allan tic ocean about 2,000 miles southeast of Washington, was expressed today by Father Torndorf, of Georgetown University. after examining the seis- mo9raph records made by an extra ordinary disturbance last night.
 The tremors continued from 8:46 to e:3s D. nj. and the most remarkable feature of the record was that it showed a vertical movement equal to the horizontal disturbance and the needle, which registers upheavals of the earth's crust, moved almost sim ultaneously with the needle which records horizontal disturbances. It is estimated that the upheavals probably started at a depth of 2,000 feet below sea level.
 Cleveland, Aug. 5.-St. Ignatius Col lege today reported the record of an earthquake of serious magnitude which occurred last night between A. GOO and 5000 miles distant. The first preliminary occurred at 7:3S:15 p. m. The main disturbance at 7:50:33, the maximum at 7:50:15, and the end at 6:41.
