is RAGING, BUT
CAN'TBEFOUND

mographs Agitated and
Scientists Are Mystified.
SEEMS TO BE FAR OFF

CHICAGO, Feb. 2.-The most violent
earth disturbances in many months have
been in progress since SAP o'clock this
morning.
At that hour the seismograph at the
University of Chicago observatory be-
gan recording what observers described
as "the most violent oscillations" rec
orded this year.
The disturbances still continue, but the
distance has not yet been estimated, al
though believed to be considerable.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.--Violent dis
turbances were indicated on the seismo-
graph at the Georgetown university be
ginning at 6;21 this morning and con-
tinuing until 8 :05.
Father Torndol - the Georgetown
faculty, known as one of the foremost
experts on earthquakes and similar dis
turbances, stated the seismograph rec

than any registered for months
THE disturbances are severe, but I
should not say alarming" Father Torn

FOREIGN LOAN
SESSION SOON
u. S. Chamber of Commerce to
Make Attitude Known.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2-The attitude
Of the United states Chamber Of C9m-
merce toward the governments new
policy of mo more loans for Europe" is
expected to be made plain within few
days. Homer l.. Ferguson, president of
the chamber, was due here late today,
and it was believed that after a confer
ence with other heads of the organization
its attitude would be set forth by him,
probably in a letter to the treasury de
partment.
Carter Glass, retiring secretary of the
treasury, recently wrote Ferguson eX-
pressing opposition to the international
conference Of bankers and business men,
which the chamber and the treasury had
been asked to arrange Glass took the
ground that such a conference would
raise false hopes in Europe that the
United States would make more loans.
The chamber, it Is predicted, will agree
with this and decline to have anything
to do with the project. The Idea of
such a conference was put forward by 4
meeting of bankers and business men in
New York. after fnanciers of foreign
countries had started the movement and
had asked their governments to issue
calls for the congress.
The British attitude toward further
loans from America was made clear in
letter to Glass from r. G. Lyndsey,
in charge of the British embassy, made
public today. Lyndsey said Britain
sought no more money for ITSELF but
would like the financial cooperation Of
the United States in relief work 'in the
suffering parts of Europe"

come out of his alternating place to-
day and take a look at the atmos-
pheric conditions.
If he saw his shadow in the sun
he was supposed to get back in his
hole for six weeks more of winter.
But If he happened to have venteured
out while cloud was hanging around
in front of Old Sol, well. we were to
expect no more cold weather.
SO Marmota'S weather observations
today may never be known. The
sun was shining brightly all morn
ing, but this afternoon it was OBJ
scured most of the time by covering
Of white, fluffy clouds.
But we should worry.

GLASS SWINGS
INTO LINE FOR
WOMAN'S VOTE
Sends Letter to Virginia Sem
atOr Urging Legislature
II. IndOrse Suffrage.
SAYS IT'S GOOD POLITICS

WASHINGTON, Feb 2.-Carter Glass,
known as a bitter opponent of woman
suffrage, caused Jubilation in suffrage
circles here today by urging ratification
of the Susan B. Anthony amendment by
democratic legislatures which have not
vet taken such action on the ground
that the democratic party can not afford
to lose the favors of women voters.
In letter made public today advising
the legislature Of his home state, Virginia,
to ratify the amendment, he declares that
the states in which women now have the
ballot viii be the pivotal ones in the next
election
LETTER WRITTEN
To SENATOR MAPP.
The letter, written to Senator Mapp,
one of the democratic leaders in Vir-
ginia, says;
Needless to say, I have no conceal
ment to make Of my view Of the strategy
of the suffrage situation. I assume it is
well known I have been and am utterly
opposed primarily to woman suffrage, es-
pecially by federal amendment, but being
opposed to thing does not make me re-
fuse to see facts as they exist.
Even without constitutional amend
ment women have the right to vote in
every pivotal state in the union The
simple, sensible question is:
DO you want them to vote with the
democratic party in the next presidential
election or with the republican party ?
Do we want the federal amendment, the
ratification of which seems inevitable ap-
piled by 4 friendly con gress and a demo
cratic president or by an adverse con-
gress and a republican president? Are
we going to refuse or repel women votes
merely because We did not want women
to have the ballot?
HAILED AS MOST
IMPORTANT VICTORY
This is the case stripped Of rhetoric
and I should say that the Virginia gen
eral assembly would not be willing to
decide it precipitately or rashly"
Suffrage leaders expressed surprise on
learning of the letter, having catalogued
the secretary as hopeless" They look
upon the letter as one of the most iua-
portant contributions to their cause since
the amendment was adopted, because OF
Secretary Glass influence in the demo-
cratic party and the fact that he is a
southerner.

England Faces Daily
Deficit of S892,OOO

LONDON, Feb Great Britain,
which within a year or so hopes to
get off the red ink side of the national
ledger, faces an outlook until April /
of a daily deficit of $992,000.
From England's standpoint that is
quite an improvement over 1919, when
the national expenditure was $6,252000
daily more than income. These figures
presume the pound TO be worth 81.
So the position from the debit side
is today seven times better than in 1919,
although cutgo is still nearly a million
dollars a day ahead OF income.
