Scientists Puzzled
By Frequent Earth
uuakes Here. Abroad

! Washington, Oct. Frequent earth
quakes in North and South America
and Europe during the last few months
have puzzled government scientists.
They regard the disturbances as a
| geological anomaly for they say that
| the greatest seismic disturbance Is
known definitely to be in February,
March and April. Their opinion coin
cides with that of Father Tondorf di-
rector of the Georgetown University
| Seismic Observatory.
The government scientists have no
particular scientific reason to suggest
for the frequency of the recent earth
disturbances. They are making no spe-
! cal study of the earthquakes. and their
opinion is that geology is too young a
science and too little is known of 1t
for anyone to attempt an explanation
OF the cause of the anomaly.
Biologists recognize that the earth's
! surface is in state Of continual I'M
rest, and they explain that whenever
the accumulated force passes the
"breaking pointv earthquakes follow.
The disturbances which recently have
occurred in three continents are re-
garded by scientists as movements OF
the earth's crust and yet they say that
/ some of the shocks may have extend
ed to a depth Of 200 miles.
! Fault lines or weak places in the
! earth are well known to the biologists,
) according to c. p Merrill, curator of
! the National Museum, who explains
! that because of this knowledge a gen.
! eral prediction regarding the area of a
I disturbance can be made by the scien-
fists. But he adds, mo sane man"
would attempt to say exactly where or
when. for fault may extend for sew
eral hundred miles.

shaking.

Cleveland. July S.-(Special. Capt.
t. F. Peck, candidate for the republican
nomination for governor. stopped Off at
Cleveland for a few hours He did not
come to Cleveland for any formal con-
ference with his supporters, but spent
the time shaking hands with and greet
ing old friends and admirers. Capt.
Peck states that his entry into the race
was inspired purely by an insistent de-
mand on the part of hundreds Of voters
from all sections of the state, both
democrats and republicans, that he
make the race.
Capt. Pecks candidacy Is being well
received here. Dozens of citizens as
sured him OF their support In the pri-
mary Aug. 5. and several staunch
democrats stated that in case he were
the republican nominee II would be
their pleasure TO give him their vote In
the November election. Reports from
different parts of this, Bradley county,
are to the effect that the people are
sOlidly for Peck. This Is due partly to
the fact that Capt. Peck formerly
owned a farm Just across the river in
McMinn county and wns well known for
his neighborliness and generous hos
pitality. Also Capt. Peck Is well re-
membered on account of HIS fine work
as secretary of agriculture under Gov.
Ben Hooper. 1t is the general feel
ing here that Capt Peck could COM
mand more votes than any other re-
publican in the state.

~. stafford's Statement.

staffords Statement.
y. .ntne statement OF Stafford follows;
IN regard 10 the malicious and sem
sational attack on me by Il. T, Kenyon
IN the morning paper, l have but this
to say, that the affidavit he has made
Is base fabrication and done only
Tor the purpose to injure and malign
me. IL has been inspired by the fact
that l have been granted pension by
the honorable mayor and commissioners
OF the city OF Chattanooga, who have
graciously voted II on account OF my
physical disabilities and my long service
70 the city, and is prompted as a mat
ter of revenge.
THE statement that I ever sold n
bottle OF whisky to MIR. Kenyon or TO
anyone else is utterly false. The state
mtnt that he ever complained to Judge
Martin Fleming OF my selling him this
whisky or that Judge Fleming said to
him. What? Has he gone back TO that
again.? is a fabrication. as Judge Flem-
Ing, had he done so, would most eer-
tainly have taken me 10 task about II.
as he should have done, but which he
did not do, but / shall leave II to Judge
Fleming to depy the utter falsity OF
this part OF hts statement.
Te.,s OF Purchase,
'I have hitherto made a full state
ment in regard TO my connection OF
the purchase OF the Hamp Kelly Brisco
car. AS have stated knowing Kelly
became his indorser in this purchase
IN this way; $3.50 was 10 be paid by
Kelly as a cash payment on the car,
He lacked 800 OF having the necessary
money, so l advanced him the money.
and TO protect myself took the title
OF the car to- myself, and signed the
notes with the agreement that when
he paid me tho 800 he should have the
title to the car.
II assisted him TO buy the car to en-
gage In the rent service, and not Tor
any illegal business, such rs the whisky
traffic, or I certainly would not have
assisted him.
Money Was Payment.
"The money that Kenyon saw him
pay me was a payment on this 800 OF
which he had paid $50, These are facts
which can all be proven and substan-
tinted by reliable witnesses,
II regret exceedingly on account OF
my family that my enemies should
make this oowardly and base attack
uf,on me, and at time TO reflect upon
the action OF the commissioners, but
I will demand full investigation In this
and all other official acts of mine and
win ask the public to suspend judg-
mont till had had opportunity to show
the falsity OF these charges.
'If the grand jury under the charge
finds II true, its duty is to indict me.
I, though humliiated shall welcome the
as / do not want TO retire
from official life with any stain OF
calumny foul as these charges till have
had opportunity 10 meet the charges OF
my detractors.
