Hope of finding Thomas G. warren.

on up at . o'clock last evening. when
searchcrs at the drawbridge near AL
vso found his overturned sloup.
The boat was found by G. L. Hug
gins, Warren's brother in-law. and
George price and Louis Miller, two
well-known residents Of Alviso.
Word was 'telephuned to Ben Wool
ncr, city attorney OF Oakland. in whose
Office Warren was employed.
There was nothing in the sloop to
Indicate the manner of Warrcn's
death As he was known to be a
splendid swimmer the theory Is ad-
vanced by his friends that he was
knocked unconscious by the swinging
Of the boom and that the weight Of
his body overturned the sloop.
Gray Goose to Be Dragged.
To-day, Gray Goose, large body Of
water between the drawDridges, will
be dragged in the hope OF recovering
the body.
We nave given up hope of finding
Warren alive said Woolner last night.
The discovery Of his overturned boat
has dissipated any hope we might
have held out for his safety. We
are completely at loss to account
for his death lie was an exceptionally
good yaChtsman, fine swimmer, and
knew the sloughs and marshlands in
the vicinity Of Alviso and the draw

ON TRAIL '" OF QUAKES

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA,
April THAT warning of impending
earthquakes may one day be given,
just as already the weather bureau
tells raisinmakers when 10 stack their
Idrying.trays and sailors when to watch
out for storms, is tho eventual goal to-
ward which earthquake Investigations
at the University of California are be-
ing directed.
Such studies of earthquake action
are of concern to the whole world, for
no part of the earth's surface Is eX.
empt from these tremors; The inves.
| legations Of the university biologists
! have served to confirm the theory that
most earthquakes occur when strains
have accumulated in the earth's sur.
face, at the moment when this strain
is relieved by the slipping Of one crust
| block upon another. Such slippings
occur along fault lines often running
across country for hundreds Of miles.
How Warnings Come.
Premonitory warnings are believed
to he given by rumblings caused by To-
cal slippingq and the breaking and
grinding of rocks along such fault
lines that is, lines Of slipping of
great earth masses. II shafts and
tunnels could be provided in places
near fault lines, deep enough TO be iso
lated from noises from the earth's
surface, and microphones installed
there In the depths which would re-
ceivc and serve to magnify sounds
originating in and transmitted through
the crust of the earth, then observa
tons of such earth-sounds and study
of their Interpretation might In time
give basis for earthquake predictions
comparable to the present-day wealth
or forecasts. Such subterranean tel
ephOnic methods have been used IN
caves in Italy to study volcanic action
in Mount Vesuvius, but funds have not
been available as yet for their due ap
plication in earthquake Investigations
