SAY NE " WORKERS
NEED NOT WORRY
OVER QUAKE HABIT
Scientists Say Big City is Not
Likely to Sink Soon AS Re-
suit of Any Earth Shocks.

HAVANA, Feb, 1t.-An earthquake
= O'clock this morning. The people
were panic stricken but no serious
damage was reported.
NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Scientists
who made an overnight study of the
earthquake shocks which were felt
throughout eastern states and south
eastern Canada yesterday afternoon,
declared Wednesday that New York
ers need not worry New York is not
likely TO get the earthquake habit
they say.
Three big geological faults are said
by scientists to have caused the tre-
mOrs. These are the Logan line, eX-
tending from Labrador to central
Alabama, a second extending from
Buffalo TO Montreal and a third from
Buffalo TO Brooklyn.
DR.. Edmund Q. Hovey curator Of
the department of geology at the
American museum of natural history,
said:
1T was the most striking earth
quake which had ever fallen under
my observation in this section Of the
country"
Prof \. w Drabau of Columbia
university attributed the tremors to
slipping of deeply buried earth crustS
and said that New Workers need have
little fear because this city rests on a
granite foundation.
Tremers were due in all probability
TO the reOpening or slipping Of the
sections known geographically as the
DevOnian and Silurian sections of the
middle and northern Atlantic states
along the lines of the Champlain
fault which formed, in the glacian
period. the bed of the Hudson river
and the ancient legan fault which runs
SOuthweStward from a point just
east of Montreal through Buffalo.
Syracuse and on down TO Cincinnati,
occurred almost simultaneously all
along the lines of effect.
Brooklyn felt II in startling fash
ion. The fact that persons in Nan
haitian did not perceive the trenors
Is due. not To the fact that il diG not
exist here, but rather because of the
tremendous depth and solidiJy Of the
rock beneath the island. Brooklyn,
less substantially founded, shook be-
meath he disturbance.
The significance of the tremors
may be noted in the fact that the
first cOnvulsion was felt in Montreal
the parting point of the two great
faults, at 1:35 p. m. and Greater New
York felt the tremOrs from 1:35:15
until 1880. Syracuse, which noted
the disturbance at 1:35, was so shaken
that several small panics ensued in
the office buildings.

BY Assoeiated Press

Washington, Oct. 2O.-The United
States should draw from the European
war lesson regarding its own con-
duct, said ex-President William H.
Taft in an address here to-day be-
fore the American Bar Association.
In discussing the charges of violation
of treaties by European nations, Mr..
Taft said that this country should put
itself in such a position that 1T could
fulfill to the letter the obligations i'm
posed by its treaties, and he recon-
mended legislation to that end.
In his address, delivered as presi-
dent of the American Bar Association,
Mr.. Taft also said that the Progressive
party was repairing from "the prepos-
ferrous nostrum" of the recall of judi
cial decisions because it apparently
had become a burden to the party.
In speaking of the European war,
Mr.. Taft said that President Wilson
should have the warmest approval and
sincerest cooperation in his efforts to
maintain the strict neutrality of this
country.

Huntington, Pa. Oct. 20.-Hunt-

Kuakel a handsome majority for State

Thomas f. Bailey, a well-known
member of the Huntingdon county

Judge Kunkel has always stood very
high in the opinion of the bar of
Pennsylvania. The judgment of the
people both in him and in the courts
was put in severe test at the time of
the trial of the Capitol graft cases,
where it was thought by many lawyers
that the courts would show subserv-
iency to political influence. Judge
KunkePs reputation came through
