Tremors Shake T,Uo States;
Brief 7elegraphic Ne,us Of L. S.
Mystery in Shocks Felt in Philadelphia, Trenton and
Central Ne.u Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania.
Woman Dies of Broken Heart.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, January 27.-The
public was still mystified early today
concerning the shock. that may have
been caused by an earthquake. which
was felt last night in central and
southern New Jersey and in eastern
Pennsylvania.
While reports continued to be re-
ceived of foundations of houses loosen
ed and pictures knocked from walls.
no loss of life or injury to person had
been heard of this morning.
The shock was distinctly felt in
Philadelphia, though 1t appeared not
to have been noticed at any point
south Of Walnut street. Guards de-
clared that the city hall building
shook and tremors were distinctly felt
in other buildings.
Felt ms Far MS Trenton.
The earthquake, If it was such. ex-
tcnded.as far north in New Jersey as
Trenton and as far east as Mount
Holly. Foundations of houses were
damaged in Haddon Heights. N. j.
Many other New Jersey towns report
ed having felt the shock.
Along the main line OF the Pennsyl-
vania railroad the occurrence caused
much excitement, particularly in Mer-
ion. where pictures were knocked
from the walls of the Merton commu-
nifty house.
Drop Explosion Theory.
The theory that the disturbance
had been caused by an explosion Of
great force was abandoned in most
quarters last night after newspaper
men had searched in every direction
in vain. 1t was pointed out that its
effect had been SO widespread that 1t
was impossible to attribute it to an
explosion.
Nevertheless, scientists at Swarth-
more College maintained that it could
not have been caused by a tremor, as
their delicately adjusted instruments
could not have failed to register such
disturbance. They insisted that an
explosion which the seismograph
would not register, no matter how
great it's force, must have been the
cause.
Earth tremors in the Philadelphia
region probably were due to settling
of the sands and not to a seismic dis
turbance, in the opinion Of Father
Francis A. Tondorf, in charge of the
seismic laboratory at Georgetown
University here. The region was not
in a seismic belt. Father Tondorf said
today. adding that he saw no cause
for alarm in the reported tremors.
Similar movements had been felt
there previously, due to settling of
the sands. he sadi-a purely local con-
