new YEAR is SHAKEN
Earthquake Opens 1910 at Some Dis
tant Point-shock Believed by seen-
fists to Have Done Damage.

Washington, Jan. New Years
day, 1910, was ushered in with an
earthquake, the records of which, as
shown by the seismograph at the
weather bureau, seem to indicate a
wave of considerable intensity. 1t oc-
Cured in the early hours of dawn,
with the possibility, in the minds Of the
officials, that serious damage has been
done somewhere.
The weather bureau officials are ap-
prehensive lest the earthquake record
ed early today occurred on the isthmus
of Panama. Colon is 2,100 miles from
here and as the wave was south south
west and calculated at about 1000
miles distant they believe there is
some ground for their fears.
The force of the quake as recorded
by the weather bureau here closely
approximated the violence Of the big
quake at San Francisco. There were
three shocks. the third so strong that
it threw the delicate seismograph pen
off the cylinders.
The suggestion that the quake may
have been in the vicinity of Panama
is based merely on the calculation as
to the approximate distance as indi-
Gated on the siesmograph caused great
interest among the officials here.
Those at the isthmian canal and in
sular offices had received no messages
from Panama indicating any disturb
ance in that section Lieutenant Colonel
Hodges, of the canal commission, on
the canal strip, is on brief leave here
and dobtless would have been notified
promptly in the case of anything OF
the kind happening near the canal.

May Form New Rowing Alliance.
Recent reports have II that there are
chances OF brand new intercollegiate
rowing alliance-that is to say, Har-
ward and Syracuse may meet In two
mile race. The Syracuse folks took
the first steps and have asked Harvard
for a race. II In impossible to say just
now whether the match viii be ar
ranged. There will be room for II
probably on Harvard's schedule should
the Crimson wish to continue having
two preliminary races year. because
the chances are that Columbia and
Harvard will meet In 1910.
The only objection to race with
Syracuse or with any other college
except Cornell Is that Harvard's crew
did not do well this year trying TO pre-
pare for two races. Tho Crimson
crews were not pointed for the race
with Yale as the only contest worth
while In the whole season. but were
worked up 10 turn TO high pitch for
the succeeding races with Columbia
and Cornell. The result was that the
crew went OF form for a time before
the Yale race and but for strenuous
methods might not have come back at
all. Ii Is understood that Coach Wray
wants TO have only one preliminary
race this year. and II his advice pre-
walls Harvard will not take on any one
except Cornell.
