DEEP MYSTERY IN
CAUSE OF EARTH
SHOCKS FELT HERE
Investigation Fails to Show
Whether Blast or Earthquake
Caused TremOrs.

NeWarkers were much puzzled to-
day on account for the earth tremors
that were felt throughout the city
and the surrounding towns yesterday
afternoon 1t was known that no
blasting had taken place in the i'm
mediate neighborhood, and today the
authorities of the American Museum
of Natural History said their ses-
moSraph had not indicated any dis
turbance of the earths subsurface.
This seemed to dispose of the earth
quake idea. The instrument in the
museum is one of the most complete
in the Eastern section of the country
and has a wide radius. 1t would
hardly be possible that an earthquake
of such proportions to cause a dis
turbance like Yesterdays could have
happened without being recorded by
the seismograph.
There were seven distinct shocks
The first was felt at 2:25 p. m and
was closely followed by the others.
Buildings trembled, windows rat
tied in their frames and the earth
seemed to shiver These sensations
We're experienced in Hudson, Bergen,
Passaic, Essex, MiddleseX and Morris
counties.
1t was thought at first an explosion
had occurred at one of the many pow
der mills of the State, and several
Investigations were started. 1t was
found that none of these had ex-
ploded and inquiry was begun along
other lines. The police of many cities
were appealed to, but they could not
explain the trouble, and the cause of
the earth tremors still remains a
mystery.

tFrom n stan correspondent.I

WASHINGTON, March THE
New Jersey Congressional delegation
will hold a caucus ON the Panama
tolls question If a vote on the tolls
question had been taken some weeks
ago among the New Jersey Congress
sional delegation a majority would
have been found in favor of free
tolls. Today they decline to com
init themselves with any degree of
certainty. Ei a .a
The New Jersey statesmen will not
admit that they have changed their
views, nor will they allow that they
are not about TO experience ehange
Of heart. 1t is against the ethics OF
the Washington correspondents to
take a poll of members ofthe House
on a pending question. But thelr is
nothing to forbid friends and ac-
quainta nces in the course of friendly
talks to exchange views for or
against matters of current polity.
Several of the New Jersey delega-
tion spoken to today about their
stand on the Panama tolls question
declined to commit themselves fur
ther than to say: See Hamill.
,ngressman Hamill is the dean of
te delegation and on certain occa-
sions is the official mouthpiece.

spondent saw Mr. Hamill today he
was jovially noncommittal That is
unusual with him on a matter where
he is known to entertain strong
views, and it has been public prop
erty all along that the dean of the
New Jersey delegation was pro-
nouncedly against the repeal of the
free tolls.
Congressman Hamill said that he
would have something to say later
on The date of his next pronounce
ment will follow caucus.
Eight of the twelve New Jersey
members are in an embarrassing po-
sition. They have been credited with
being opposed to the repeal of the
free tolls law. They are also known
to be warm personal admirers of the
President. There is not one of the
eight who would not cheerfully fol-
low Woodrow Wilson to the last
ditch in anything and everything he
would advocate.
They are now torn between their
loyalty to the President and their
obligation to their party pledges. II
their idol had come out sooner on the
question, it would have saved them
from their present embarrassing po-
sition. Each one realizes that a
change of front at this time will lead
the people at home to ask each one
severally:
Did you fall, or were you
pushed?"

AFRAME-UP" CASE
Jury D|SAGREES
Nine Vote to Acquit and Three
to Convict Ascher and Vein
stein, Alleged Crooks.
Especial to the Evening stnr.I

JERSEY CITY, March 7.-After
being out for eleven hours the jury in
the court of Judge George G. Tenant
early today reported q disagreement
in the case of William Weinstein and
Harry Ascher, the two alleged bur-
glars, who have caused a sensation
by their claims that their trial is the
result Of a police "frame-up'' for the
glorification of Director of Public
Safety Frank Hague. The jury re-
tired at o'clock p. m. yesterday and
did not return until 4:50 a. M today.
The voting was nine for acquittal
against three for conviction.
Immediately after the jury had
brought in it's finding the two de-
PENDANTS were committed to the Hud-
son county Jail. whence they had
come after being convicted at their
first trial, No further action has
been taken by either Lichtenstein,
counsel for the two men, or Prosecu-
tor S, Hudspeth. 1t is probable, how
ever that on Monday either new
trial will be ordered by Judge Ten
nant or upon the request of Lawyer
Bichtenstetn the court will dismiss the
charge against them.
The summing up for both sides was
the most mastery effort heard in the
Court House for many years. Prose-
cutor Hudspeth was assisted by s.
sistant Prosecutor James w. Nc
Carthy, while Julius Lichtenstein bore
the entire burden of the work for the
defense. Prosecutor Hudspeth was
exhausted by the supreme effort and
had to be relieved. while Mr.. Lichten-
stein was compelled to retire to the
ante-room to sleep for tw hours after
his summing-up.
Judge Tenants charge to the jury
was to the effect that if it was con-
yinced that the two defendants had
been brought to the city by an agent
OF the police for the purpose of conf
mitting a crime, they must be ac-
quilted. but if it thought that they
had come of their own volition, they
must be found guilty Any encour-
agement or invitation by the police
would entitle the defendants to an
acquittal.
Both Prosecutor Hudspeth and
Counsel Lichtenstein commentede in
their summing on the fairness
with which the trial had been con-
Quoted. the former paying a tribute to
Commissioner Hague and the police.

SAY POLL SHOWS
REPEAL WILL PASS
Administration Leaders Sure
Toll Exemption Will Be De-
feated by Congress.

WASHINGTON, March with the
Sims bill providing for the repeal of
the tolls exemption clause of the
Panama Canal act favorably reported
to the House and with "a poll of the
membership of the House and Senate
ShowbaS a safe majority for repeal,
administration leaders were more con-
fidcnt than ever today that Congress
would respond favorably 20 President
Wilson'S appeal. This poll, taken by
members OF the House and Senate
who will aid in the fight for repeal,
showed, they declare, large major
ity in both Houses ready to vote for
q fiat repeal measure at once.
The next move of those who are to
lead the fight in the House for the
repeal provision will be to urge the
rules committee to bring in a special
rule to expedite the passage. Pres
sure will be brought to bear on the
committee, of which Representative
Henry of Texas, is chairman, to hur-
ry consideration of the matter, and
II was confidently asserted today that
rule giving the Sims measure the
right of way in the House would be
brought in by the middle of next week,
If not before.

ported the bill was authorized by his
committee to urge the rules commit

his task.
While the House is debating the
issue next week, in the Senate the
committee ON interoceanic canals viii
consider what action to take, whether
to recommend q fat repeal of to urge
the compromise bill offered by Scna-
tor Chiffon, of West Virginia, a mem
Der of the committee, authorizing the
President to regulate tolls and assess
charges at his discretion, wherever
exemption is provided in the canal
act.
President Wilson was highly graft
fed today with the way Congress had
responded to his address of Thursday.
Not only was he pleased with the
rapidity with which the House COM
mittee on interstate commerce acted
in favorably reporting the bill to re-
peal the toll exemption clause Of the
Panama Canal act, as requested BY
him. but also with reports of polls
made by administration leaders which
are said to have shown safe major
ity in favor of repeal.
The President had been given the
assurances of individual members
that they would support him in his
efforts for repeal, but in the light of
events in Congress yesterday he was
more confident than ever today of the
ultimate success of his plan.

Naming of Congressman to
Post0ffice Job Surprise of
the Session.
Especial to the Newark star.I

WASHINGTON, March - The
selection of Congressman Kinkead
for the job of postmaster at Jersey
City was the subject of considerable
speculation in the corridors of the
House of Representatives yesterday
afternoon when the news was spread
abroad.
Mr.. kinkead kept away from the
House and from his office all day. so
that his colleagues who wanted to
feohgratulate him or ask how 1T was
put across were disappointed.
me appointment of that particular
once was supposed to be one of the
plu1nS IN the gift of Congrcssman
Hamill for personal distribution. He
had his man picked for it, but his
selection was not particularly pleas
ing to some of those who have taken
over tho care of the political situation
in Hudson county
Naval Officer Wittpenn also had a
candidate or two for the place and
there were others. It is given out
here at the capital that the selection
OF Mr., Kinkead for the office was an
inspiration on the part of Postmaster
General Burleson, but how he was
INSPIRED and who worked the in
spirational wires are matters that
are affording considerable speculation
on the part of the New Jersey con-
gressional delegation in this burg of
political surprises.
Like Bolt from a Clear Sky.
The announcement of the selection
of the congressman, from the Eighth
district for the place of postmaster
was a shock out of the blue such
as the New Jersey delegation has not
experienced since it came here
Congressman Hamill admitted to
the Star correspondent that ii was
something of a surprise to him, but
then, he said, one must get used to
surprises here. Mr.. Hamill takes the
matter in his usual insouciant man
ner, and if the candy was taken from
hlm when he wasn't looking he is not
weeping over it.
Another one of the New Jersey dele
CATION who did not care to be quoted
said: 1T is a good thing for Gene
He needn't worry now about the re-
suit of the next congressional fight
IN the Eighth district. He realized
that he had an uphill fight, and this
now simplifies matters for him."
The same speaker said that he had
not the slightest doubt that the talk
Ing of Mr.. kinkead out of Congress.
and tho coming fight for a renomi-
nation in the eighth district, was
probably part of plan to make Ger
tain of a Democratic successor to
him at the coming fall election.
There are some who credit the
Presidents secretary, Joseph p Tu-
multy, with bringing about this set
tlement of a vexing question. Others
see in 1t the hand of Naval officer
Otto Wittpenn, who is known not to
be enamored of Kinkead, and would
like to see a man of his own selec-
tion get the seat in the House of
Representatives he now holds. It is
said that Wittpenn, when 1t was ap-
parent that he could not land his
particular candidate in the postoffice
job in Jersey City, was willing to
compromise and let Kinkead have it,
believing that he could name Kin
kead's successor in Congress.
