VALDEZ ROCKED
 BY EARTHQUAKES
Residents Aroused in Middle of the Night by Earth Movement but
 No Damage was DOno.

Valdez was rocked by an earth quake last night but the nov, ment, which lasted for nearly sixty seconds, was not of sufficient violence to, ore ate any alarm and occasioned no damage. The clocks at the Signal Corps office both stopped at 1:27, es- tablishing the official time of the dis turbance. .
 The earth tremor, according to those who were on the street when the first shock was felt, say that the movement came from the westward: and was not accompanied by the usu- al rumbling noise from tha-' eAttI which preceded the heavy earth quAke experienced in this district in 1912 before Katmai blew up. There VI. no sudden Z Jar but the osci'lato'y y movement was sufficient to arou ie many who had been esleep. .s.'F&s '; < Several Valdez people who passed through the San Francisco earth quake and fire declare that the move. ment of the earth was very sll4.. but not as severe as that whl;h caus. ed the destruction of the city. In the California disaster the tremot. continued to grew in severity but last night after the first shock tn y gradually subsided.
 The earthuuake which Na% expe- ,rienced in Valdez in January, 1a1:, was very violent and would undoubt- edly have caused large buildings if constructed of brick to have tu,nbled

AMER|CANATTACHES
GIVE DIRECT LIE TO
STATEMENT
Reports on Loss Of the Sussex
Are In. Absolute Contradic-
ton Of Denlals.
MORE SHIPS ARE ToRPEDoED

LONDON, April 9.-Although the Ger
man government makes official on
nouncement that the Sussex was not
torpedoed by German submarine, the
evidence obtained by the American at
taches In Paris, the French experts and
the English authorities gives the direct
lie to the Berlin denial.
As bearing out the insincerity of the
German explanation that the Kaiser 9
government would not submarine un-
trmed passenger steamers, three more
British vessels OF this class and
French fishing sloop have been sunk.
They are the Braunton, 4,b7b tons; the
Chantalla. 4,949 tons, and the Clyde, 700
tons. News comes from Paris that the
Colbert. a large French passenger
steamer. only escaped a submarine by
speed. She was attacked without warn
ing in the Mediterranean.
The official German denial OF partici-
patton In sinking the Sussex declares
the investigation has been completed ;
that ell the craft which might possibly
have been involved In an ATTACK on the
| Sussex have reported. and that from
the reports Of their commanders II was
absolutely certain the sussex was not
sunk by a German torpedo. and that
Germany is In no wise responsible Tor
the disaster.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The market for

easier. Demand sterling was at first
quoted 4,76 1916, but after the initial fig-
ures, was offered at that rate and later
was quoted at AIS sterling cables were
unchanged at 476ss the market, generally
speaking, was not appreciably altered.
except that reichsmarks were nominally
IS higher at "a l-l6 and 741s. other quota
tiOns were: Franc cables. 5T8H: checks.

424i rubles. 1866 and 29.75.
The feature OF the afternoon was
strength in lire, which rose about 8 points
to 6.63 for cables and 6.64 for checks.
from earlier quotations of 6.66 and s.67
Sterling and reichsmarks were a shade
easier at AIS for demand. 476 11-ls for

As an indication of how the general bond
market is enjoying prosperity, the Public
Service Corporation Of New Jersey $500.
600 three.year per cent. notes. which
were offered to banks and trust companies
at eeB. were so much oversubscribed that
it was decided to postpone the issue until
March and all brokers' bids were re-
iected The successful sale of New York
state 4 per cent bonds also acted as
stimulus on the municipal list. IL is in
teresting to note the gradual enhancement
of the value of Philadelphia city bonds.
In October. 1918. they were selling on n
AOs basis In June. 1914, they sold at
391; i'm November, 1915, at $50, and now
they are down to 3.S5 basis. Incident
ally. they are in better position at pres
ent than New York city As which are SELL
ing on 403 basis. The strength of the
bond market is all the more noteworthy in
face of the heavy foreign liquidation.
Strength of Cambria Steel today lent
color to the reports that although the
Replogle options on 10000 shares at so
had been allowed to expire the proposed
merger with the youngstown and Lacka-
wanna companies was still on but that
the Lackawanna shareholders would re
ceive 500 instead of $50 as had been first
proposed, but that Cambria and Youngs-
town would remain at $50 and $780, re-
spectively. It is said the deal will be
put through by February Is. 1t Is
understood that Il. T Stotesbury and
