VICE-PRESlDENT
NEXT MEETING WILL BE HELD
AT RENO AT A DATE NOT
YET FIXED
(speciaI Correspondence.l

RENO, Oct 4.-On Saturday morn
ing the Nevada Bar association con-
yened for the second days session.
The meeting was opened with an ad-
dress by Hugh II. Brown of Tonopah,
on the work of the last session of the
American Bar association and the
Conference of Uniform State Laws,
held at Salt Lake City during the
month of August. In his address Mr..
Brown dwelt at considerable length
on the growth of the American Bar
association and the magnitude of the
work 1t has been accomplishing
through its many sections and com
mittees.
There was a discussion on the re-
port of the section of legal education
and admission to the bar, but as there
will be another meeting of the asso-
citation before the legislature again
convenes, and as the American Bar
association is working on draft of
similar bill, which will be given out
before the next meeting of the Nevada
Bar association, the proposed bill was
referred back to the committee for
another years work.
The afternoon was taken up largely
with amendments to the constitution
and bylaws of the association, the
legislative council being abolished
and several minor changes made.
The nominating committee made its
amended report and the following of.
ficers were elected for the ensuing
year:
President Cole L. Harwod, Reno;
vice presidents, George A. Bartlett of
Carson City and J. H. Evans of Tono-
pah; secretary, e. w. Cheney, Reno;
treasurer, A. Grant Miller, Reno. The
incoming president will soon name
the sections and committees for the
year.
In the evening the visiting members
were rendered a banquet by the Bar
Association of Washoe County at the
Riverside Hotel lania. A. Grant Mill
Ter presided as toastmaster, and the

EARTH MOVES SIX
TO TWELVE FEET
KENNEDY DISTRICT THE
CENTER OF QUAKE
sEisMoGRAPH AT UNIVERSITY OF
NEVADA SAYS SHOCK LASTED
FORTY SECONDS

The center of the great earthquake
Saturday night seems to have been at
Kennedy, so miles south of Winnie
mucca. Here the vertical motion of
the earth was measurable in feet,
rather than in decimals of inches. The
Humboldt Star gives the following ac-
count of the disturbance there
In Kennedy nearly every building
was wrecked, as were the barns at the
s. Siard, w. L. Pearce and Cooper &
Unlacke ranches. On this latter ranch
the ground sank several feet in places
and the water came up.
Commissioner Cooper, who went
out yesterday morning to bring his
family to town, met them coming in.
Mr.. Cooper stated that for % miles
along the foothills north of his ranch
the line of break or fissure caused by
the, earthquake could be seen. Along
this break the ground sank from TO
II feet, the appearance from dis
tance being as If new roadway had
been graded along the foothills.
Winnemucca itself suffered heavily,
half the chimneys being thrown down
or damaged, with a number of brick
and adobe walls thrown down and the
water main burst. A number of
springs in the state dried up and 9th
ers showed increased flow and higher
temperature.
Prof. j. c. Jones, geologist in the
Mackay chool of mines at the Uni
versity of Nevada. stated, according
to the Gazette. that the shock lasted
/ fully 40 seconds, but, compared with
similar occurrences in this vicinity
last year. was very light. 1t was his
opinion that the earthquake was due
to slip in the formation between
eastern Nevada and Salt Lake City
possibly in the country around Elk'
county, as the heaviest damages ar,
reported from there.
From the duration of the shock anC
from the general character of the
shake Prof. Jones thinks ii was moi
due TO any volcanic eruption, as has
been reported
The seismograph record taken at the
university is very large and show.
that the quake travelled both north anC
south and east and west, but was mucl
stronger in east and west direction,
as all shocks have been that have beer
felt in this territory.
