DEMOCRATS TRY
TO CONCEAL PLIGHT

alike for their failure to encourage
more representative men to enter the
lists for the chief place in the city
government. However, the real truth
of the situation is that the Clark act
has so denuded the Office of Mayor of
real Importance that that class of citi-
zens who would serve their community
for the sake of service are not willing
to become the targets of abuse and
vilification in a contest with indi-
viduals who seem to regard the Office
as mere political job.
Abuse OF Councilmcn
Reports throughout the city seem
to indicate that there is a rising tide
of resentment against the unfair tao
tics being employed by individuals
against City Commissioners Bowman,
Lynch and Taylor, who represent the
majority of the present Council. One
prominent businessman said to-day:
1T is absurd to expect these off,
Gals to give perfect service at the
outset of new plan of municipal gov
ernment. They were compelled to
waste months of the first year of their
term of two years in getting a fair
knowledge of their duties under the
changed conditions. But l doubt
whether any. city officials or set of
officials in many years can present a
better record of substantial accom-
plishment. Anyhow, what would be
gained by dismissing these Repub-
licans and getting in their places three
other Republicans or three Democrats
who have had no experience in the
work of these important departments
Unless the taxpayers who are not con-
cerned about political advantage get
awake to the fact they will find that
they have lost sight of their own best
interests"
Democratic Diversion
1t is apparent to a large number of
intelligent citizens who do not say
much and who are not active in po-
litical way that the noisemaking of
the Democratic machine is a demon
stration to divert attention from the
efforts of the machine to land it's own
combination. While talking about the
alleged political activities of the three
Republican members the Democratic
machine bosses are craftily avoiding
any reference to the very active po-
litical performances of the Messrs
Royal and Gorga5 during the last two
years. 1t was an easy matter for Royal
especially to criticise his Republican
colleagues inasmuch as he has been
more ornamental than useful through
out the entire period His frequent
play to the galleries at the session of
the City Council has been understood
by those familiar with municipal af-
fairs and even Democrats are dis
gusted with his political finn -1amming.
Republicans generally are coming
to the conclusion that the best answer
to the Democratic machine will be the
reelection of Bowman, Taylor and
Lynch with a fourth Republican mem
ber as an emphasis upon their attitude
toward political fakirs.
With respect to the long list of can
didates for the other offices to be filled
there is of course the usual backing
and filling, but leaders of the Repub-
lican organization in the city and
county express the opinion that Re-
publican sentiment generally favors
party harmony and a strong front
after the tickets shall have been
placed in the field.

ter He was assistant director of the
Mount Vesuvius observatory and the
great American authority on Mediter-
ranean disturbances. He knew of the
fault in southern Italy and that con-
ditions were such as to put it under
great strain.
Knowing such a condition to exist
the scientist looks for the last straw
that may cause the break. A very
high tide on a beach may pile up a
weight of water that will cause a slip
at the fault. Heavy SHOWS may have
the same effect. High or low barom-
eter may have very great deal to
DO with the increasing or relaxing of
the strain. Then there is the gravity
pull of the planets when they are in
certain positions.
1t may be possible to foresee time
when there will be a heavy snow lying
along coast, when there is a high
tide piled upon it, when there is
nigh barometric pressure, when the
planets with great gravity pull are
on the other side of the world. This
would be remarkable combination
In assistance of an area that is seek
Ing to slip a little deeper down a
Jagged fault If it is near the slipping
point it will reach it under these con-
d1tions. Mr.. Perret foresaw such
conspiracy of circumstances at the
time he issued his warming.
The tendency on the part of the
earth being studied, may be to be
pushed up instead of down. Then
the most favorable conditions would
be the reverse of the other case. The
time of the break would be when the
area was lightest. 1t would be when
the land is dry, when the tide is out,
when the pressure is low, when the
planets are on the same side of the
world as is the region affected Then
the internal forces that are seeking
to lift the region would have the light
est load and would be most likely to
accomplish their end.
The scientists say in general that
an earthquake is likely to occur again
in any region where one has been
known in the past. Those living in
such a region should, for instance,
build houses that are earthquake
proof. They should run into the open
when they feel the first quake. Dogs
whine in distress and cattle rush
frightened from their beds before man

ogist, had forecasted the coming of
the Guerrero earthquake in Mexico,
and Omori, the japanese geologist,
rang the bell twice by giving warning
of the coming of the earthquake at
San Francisco and that which a little
later disturbed Valparaiso, Chile.
1t is the fact of it's long immunity
from shock that causes geoplogists to
predict that the Panama Canal region
is in great danger of a shaking
up of any point on the continent.
There are scores of faults on the 18TH
one way and another in the geologi-
cal past. These have resulted in diff
fering situations existing there. There
have been times, for instance, when
the two oceans meet.
The government consulted with
geologists before building the canal.
1t was told of the probability of a visi-
tation but earthquake prognostication
was not at that time sufficiently ad-
vanced to be taken very seriously.
Even admitting it as a probability, a
slip might not seriously injure the
canal. 1t would break 1t in two and
might raise or lower one end of it a
few feet. But it would probably be
possible to splice it together again and
make the necessary adjustment. AS
the contraction of the earth presses
the two sides of this break together
with a terrific force there would be no
such possibility as that of the earth
opening up and swallowing Gatun
Lake, and the incidental ships that
might be thereabout.
Influence Still Working
The influences that make for pos
sibility of an earthquake where Ken
lucky and Tennessee approach the
Mississippi river are quite different
Whatever 's the internal influence
that create he Appalachian noun
tains it is at work beyond the
point where they end in the south
west. There is a pressure beneath
a body of land in this region that has
developed to a fault near the Misss-
sippi nd occasionally there is a slip.
Just little over hundred years ago
there was such a slip and the trouble
that it caused is still spoken of as the
New Madrid earthquake. There are
indications that these slips have oc-
Cured in the past at intervals of
about a century and another is now
regarded as being due.
Yet even this does not develop the
finer points of earthquake forecasting.
DR.. Frank a. Perret figured many
more elements than these when he
warned the public to keep away from
Sicily just before the Messina disas-
