PANAMA ROCKED
BY EARTHQUAKE
rHies Are Badly Shaken by
Heavy TFelE5lers.
MANY FLEE TO STREETS
People Believe That Great Waterway
Has Suffered From Shocks But
Definite information
Is Lacking.

Colon. Oct 3.-This city was rocked
by a severe earthquake late Wednes-
5.r night. The disturbance lasted a
ull minute
Houses were rocked and the entire
oopuIation was aroused. Thousands
fIed the streets and remained there
in fear of the collapse of their
houses. The earthquake was the heav-
lest within memory. A second light
or shock occurred at 11:40 o'clock.
The Gatun locks" was on every
bodv's lips, but it was impossible to
learn whether any damage had been
done there.
Last Friday the first tug passed
through the Gatun locks from the At
antic to Gatun lake. The disturb
a1ce begun with a slow, oscillatory
movement which gradually became
more marked. Houses swayed, clocks
st0pDed. and articles of furniture were
thrown to the floor
Many of the residents became half
Danic-stricken and women rushed
from the homes with children in their
arms
So far no damage of any serious ma
uure has been reported.
Gatun locks, three in number, are
designed to lift vessels eighty-five feet
from the level of Limon bay, the At
hntic entrance to the canal, on which
Colon is located, to the level of Gatun
lake. They are seven miles from
Colon
Twenty-four miles beyond Gatun
locks and across the lake is the begin
ming Of Culebra cut
Panama, Oct 1.-Two earthquakes
Of an intensity much more severe
than any disturbance since the Amer
leans took possession OF the canal
zone, occurred at midnight Wednes-
day. They were felt from Panama
City to Colon.
The first shock, as experienced in
the capital, was slight and was quick
ly followed by one of longer duration
which shook buildings to their founda-
ton The church bells were set TO
ringing, doors were thrown wide open,
and residents were brought tumbling
out of their beds
The first movement lasted about five
seconds 1t occurred about 11:2O
o'clock. The second movement was
Of ten seconds duration.
The people at midnight were gath
cred in the streets. Jamaicans, who
went through the disaster at Kingston,
and Italians, who have had similar
experiences in their home country
were particularly alarmed
According to the seismograph there
were two sIighter shocks, but these
we're practically unnoticed. The gen
eral movement appeared to be from
west to east Those familiar with
earthquakes said the movement was
more of an upheaval than vibration
from side to side.
There has been no severe damage
to buildings and no damage to the
canal is so far reported.
Since the suspension of the steam
shovel operations, the Cucaracha slide
has extended completely across the
cut to the seventy three loot level SO
that when the water is admitted to the
probable lake level of IS feet on Octo-
Der 10, it cannot pass this barrier.
1t is now proposed to ditch through
tie Cucaracha slide, and the resulting
rush of water is expected to carry
away q large portion of the obstacle

NEW TARIFF BILL
PASSED BY SENATE
IA TOILETTE AND POINDEXTER
JOIN DEMOCRATS IN VoT-
ING FOR MEASURE.
BALLOT STANDS SO TO II
Changes in Cotton Futures Clause
Causes Return of Bill to House for
ApprovaI-Law Operative as Soon
AS Signed by Wilson.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 3.-The
senate at the end of a listless debate
passed the conference report on the
democratic tariff revision bill Thurs
day night by a vote of 36 to II, only
four more than the necessary quorum
of the senate.
Senators La Toilette, republican,
and PoindeXter, progressive, voted
for the conference report as they did
for the bill on it's passage and Sena-
tors Ransdell and Thornton, demo-
Gratis, voted against it as they did
against the bill. Otherwise it was
a strict party vote.
Immediately after the passage Of
the conference report the senate re-
jected the Smith-Lever compromise
cotton futures tax amendment, pass
ed by the house on Tuesday, and
then receded from it's own amend
ment known as the Clarke cotton fu-
lures tax plan and the effect is to
leave the cotton futures question out
of the tariff bill The bill was re-
turned to the house for final concur
renee.
Anticipating that the bill would
become a law by Saturday the treas
ury department was busy making fl
nal preparations to put the new rates
of duty into effect on all foreign
merchandise on the day following the
signature of the bill by the presi-
dent. 1t is expected that millions
of dollars worth of imported goods
now held in bold will be withdrawn
for distribution in this country
within two or three days after the
new tariff rates become effective.
