Government Investigator Says
East Is Safe from Bad Quake
Declares Recent Shocks Felt in New York Came from Adron-
dacks With Violent Res uts in Northeastern

and no motion takes place on them
because the strain has been satisfied
or diverted into other directions. OF
this kind are most of the old faults in
the Appalachian area, from Alabama
to Canada, including the mountain
Gus country of the East Younger
faults are also found in the East, but
most of these are dead and their
strains have long ago been satisfied
The latest set of faults displaces the
youngest geologic formations, al
though their source is in the under
lying hard rocks.
1t Is usual TO associate earthquake
shocks with the greatest of the faults,
on which the motion is measured in
miles. These, however, are the old
est and most certainly dead of the
faults, and later and different strains.
have acted on their areas and pro-
duced different faults. Neither length
nor great motion on a fault is needed
to make O disastrous shock, as was
plain at San Francisco, where a few
feet of motion caused the ruin. The
factor which makes shocks dangerous
or not is their intensity, and this is
directly due to the rapidly of growth
and vigor of the strain. Quick and
violent strains accompany the growth
and rise of new parts of the earths
crust, where 1t is being compressed
until 1t moves. In the old Appala
chan country of the eastern part of
the United States such rise is so eX
ceedingly slow as to make it's exist
ence in historic times a matter of dis
pute. In any case, it is not now of
tho conpressive character which
causes lateral or violent movements
and dangerous shocks. Therefore.
while earthquakes are not unknown
in the East it is exceedingly improb7
able that they will be disastrous.
The destructive Charleston earth
quake of 1886 was east of the Ape
palachians, in a tract which in recent
geologic time has risen unevenly from
the sea as a result of earth strains
Its effects were especially severe as
is usual in loose formations like the
sand and clay which prevail in that
district. 81

Curtain Calls

April % will be the three hundred
and fiftieth anniversary of William
Shakespeare's birth. President
Churchill and City Superintendent
Maxwell, of the New York city Board
of Education, have sent a circular
to the public school principals calling
attention to that fact. In it they
say:
I'VE suggest that this is an emf
nently fitting opportunity to direct
the attention of our pupils to his
plays as standing, by the comment
consent of mankind, in the foremost
rank of poetic and dramatic compo-
sitions. We suggest, further, that the
most effective way to accomplish
this end is to have pupils learn by
heart striking passages and dialogues
and to recite them before school or
class on that day. or to sing in cho-
rus some of the lyrics. We trust that
the time devoted to the memorizing
of poetry from now until the 23d of
April will be devoted to Shakespeare,
so that all our children may make
some of his poetry their permanent
possession
They also ask the high schools of
Manhattan and the Bronx, under the
supervision of the director of music,
DIR. Rix, to rehearse choruses in some
of Shakespeare's lyrics to be sung at
the celebration at the Ward statue
of Shakespeare in the Mall, Central
Park, under the auspices of the
Shakespeare Club of New York city.
The program at Keeneys for the
first three days of this week presents
a well-balanced aggregation of acts,
appealing to risibles, emotions and
senses. The ten Westons perform
acrobatic feats, which, to say the
least, are sensational. 1.-THE Loop
hole is a sketch affording great OPP
portunities for emotional acting, and
1.-THE End of the Line" and many
other features provide material for
laughter.
1.-The Right Girl" cyclonic
comedy, in which Mcconnell and
Simpson appear, is the leading fea-
ture at Proctor's this week. 1t is de-
scribed to be one Of the funniest
sketches in vaudeville.
Further Adventures of Kathlyn"
are the spice added to a great variety
of vaudeville features at the Lyric
the first three days of this week.
1.-THE smallest mule in the world"
Toby, which Is twenty-eight inches
high, is one of the notable features at
the Washington Theatre. Unlike most
other attractions, Toby will occupy
the limelight at the Washington dur
ing the entire week. Toby's birth
place Is Spain.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The re-
cent earthquake in New York, so far
as can be decided from information
now at hand, was strongest in the
northeastern part of the State and
less intense in all directions from
that section, according to state
ment by Arthur Keith, of the United
States Geological Survey, who has
made a special study of the geologic
and structure of the Appa-
lachian mountain region. AS earth
quake shocks are regularly weaker
oatward from a centre, the area of
greatest intensity at the surface Is
nearest the point of origin, although
this point probably is not at the sur
face. The earthquake centre, there
fore, appears to be in or north of
northeastern New York.
Earthquake shocks are caused by
the breaking and moving past each
other of great masses of rock in the
earth's crust. Rocks are more or less
elastic, particularly crystalline and
igneous rocks like granite, and they
transmit shocks for very long dis
tances. Rocks in the earth's crust
are always in a state of strain, and
release from this strain by a fracture
causes a displacement and rebound
surface of the earth this movement
is continually noted in quarries when
new layers of stone are set free, and
1t Is still stronger in the depths of the
earth. When the strain finally ex-
ceeds the strength of some of the
rocks they break and snap, and there
Is an elastic rebound from each
movement. This causes the lesser
tremblings after the first shock.
Cause of Earthquakes.
Earthquakes are commonly asso-
ciated with faults or riffs, which are
breaks or fractures in the rock crust
along which the rocks move past one
another Some faults are character
lied by repeated motion along a
given plane or narrow zone, like that
which caused the San Francisco
earthquake. The vast majority of
faults, however, are practically dead,

SUCCEED AND FAIL
IN TWO CITY PLANTS
Topeka's City Attorney Tells
of Municipal Ownership
of Utilities.

"Our city has population of $4,000.
1t owns two public utillties-an cleo
trio lighting plant and a water works
system" writes w. c. Ralston, city
attorney of Topeka, Kan, in the No
vember Case and Comment" THE
city has owned the electric lighting
plant for about twenty-five years. 1t
furnishes electric current for street
lighting only. The plant has had a
checkered history. 1t has been the
football of politics. superintendent
and employees have changed with
changing administrations. AS a re-
suit, the service has been poor. The
machinery has been damaged and
ruined by careless and inefficient me-
chanics and workmen.
after twenty-five years of expert
ence we have an old electric lighting
plant which the city has outgrown.
We have large bonded debt, con-
tracted by the city in building and
adding to the plant. Taking into con-
sideration the original cost of the
plant and the cost of subsequent adj
ditions, the cost of maintenance, de-
probation, the interest on bonds and
the loss of taxes, | do not believe
that the city has saved anything by
owning the electric lighting plant, and
to the city government all the while.
1.-THE waterworks system tells a
more cheerful story. The city has
owned the water plant for about
eight years. 1t has been kept out of
politics. The plant was purchased
from a private corporation, and the
superintendent, engineers, mechan-
les and Office force of the corpora
ton were retained The superintend-
emit and many of the employees are
still in the service of the city,
THE water service under munich
pal ownership has been infinitely
more satisfactory than it was under
private ownership. Large extensions
and additions have been made to the
plant. The number of consumers has
almost doubled since it's purchase by
the city. A percentage of the receipts
is laid by every year to provide a
sinking fund with which to pay off
the bonded debt assumed by the city
in purchasing the water-works sys-
tenn. The plant has been kept in
splendid repair, and the city could
now sell it for more than twice what
it originally cost. The cost of all re-
pairs, extensions, additions and main
tenance is borne by the water con-
sumers, and they likewise furnish the
sinking fund to retire the water
works bonds. The plant maintains
and pays for itself. The city has not
spent a cent on the water plant out
side of the revenues derived there
from, and it will never have to do

Find Kennedy's Books o. K.

ALBANY, March 1.-The accounts
of the late John J. Kennedy, State
treasurer, were found to be entirely
correct through an exhaustive exam
nation by the State Department of
Efficiency and Economy which has
been completed.
All the money received and expend-
ed by Mr.. Kennedy was checked up
and. with the cash on hand, balanced
to penny. The examination includ-
ed searching inquiry into State
funds deposited with various banks
by Mr. Kennedy.
A detailed report of the former
treasurer's accounts is expected to be
delivered to Governor Glynn Monday.

jersey Girl of 10 Will Wed

NEW YORK, March 2.-Marie A.
Raviele, thirteen years and two
months old, the youngest applicant
for a marriage license ever recorded
in New York city, appeared at the
city clerks office with her fiance, Jo-
seph Rubino, twenty-one years old,
and obtained a license to marry. The
youthful couple announced that the
ceremony would take place tomorrow
When the little girl, in short skirts
and pigtails, appeared before City
Clerk Scully as a prospective bride
that official was dumfounded. The
couple, however, produced a docu-
ment signed by the girls parents in
Long Branch, NJ j., giving permits
sion for her to wed. Mr.. Scully called
up the corporation counsel's office
and Assistant Corporation Counsel
David Garland told him that the con-
sent of the parents was sufficient in
any age under eighteen. The license
was therefore granted. Both the
young man and his youthful bride-to-
be were born in Italy.
