Washington, Dec, 16.-An un-
usually severe earthquake, esti-
mated to be $500 miles in east
westerly direction from Washing
ton, was recorded early today on
the seismograph at Georgetown
university.
The recording of the shock be-
gan at 1925 a. M, the maximum
intensity was reached at 8:O7 a. m.
and it still was in progress at 9:05
y. m. The disturbance was de-
scribed by the Rev. Father Francis
A. Tondorf, director of the George
town seismograph observatory, as
the worst recorded here in two
years.
The distance of $500 miles from
Washington, estimated by Father
Tondorf, would indicate the loca-
ton of the disturbance to be in the
United States, near the Pacific
coast, if in the west, or in the vi
cinity of the Azores il, to the east.
