Quake Frightens Citizens
Tremors of Half Minute Duration
Sweep Two -:oasI States

San Francisco, Feb. Hundreds
of California and Oregon citizens
woke in terror today to find their
homes swayinG from the shock OF q
terrific earthquake.
The tremors were felt most Sc
vcrely in Northern California and
Southern Oregon Seismographs show
ed that the shocks were Of from fifteen
to thirty seconds in duration.
Al Redding Cal, the tremors were
Of sufficient force to cause an undu!at-
ing movement of the earth, interrupt
ed by short, quick shocks. Some citi-
zcns here were terroriZed by the ire
mors and fled from their homes, fear
ing repetition Of the disaster of 1906.
The scope of the disturbance IN
its most violent form centered within
a radius of 100 miles around Redding,
Weayerville, Fail River Mills, and
Weed. Parts of Southern Oregon felt
the tremors early. At Roseburg the
entire town was aroused and buildings
swayed for fifteen seconds. AT Eugene,
Oregon, the disturbances were OF suf-
ficient violence to rattle windows.
Hundreds of people did not enter
buildings all day, fearing more vio-
lent tremorS.

Berlin. Jan. 30.-With typical
thoroughness, the German cities which
are expecting American visitors next
summer already are laying plans for
exploiting the high value of American
currency. If proposals introduced IN
the Munich council are adopted, Amer
leans will be required to pay more
than the natives fer the celebrated
Munich beer on account of the higher
value Of the dollar and the fact that
it will be considered favor for Vol
stead Americans to be allowed to
drink beer at all.
Munich is expecting great crowds
of foreigners on account OF the Pas
sion Play and is proposing to give
natives special identity cards. the
non-holdcrs paying increased prices

pecting a cheap summer abroad will

Will OUR

Care For Present Emergency

Rumors having been circulated as TO
probable serious consequences should
the sewers of the city be subjected TO
an extraordinary stain which "ouih
be the case if warm rain should come
upon the snow now in the streets or
if for any reason there was SUDDEN
melting, the Gazette has set ltseil the
task of finding the occasion 1or ana
truth Of such reports.
When asked for his opinion regard
ing the condition of the sewers ana ol
their ability to sustain the pressure 10
which at any time they are apt 10 ne
subjected, DR.. Louis +. fouiks' cat!
health officer, said that, IN ms osln-
ion, no serious effects would be teit'
He saws, however, that if, in the event
of a sudden melting, the sewers are
filed to their capacity the streets
will likely be called upon to carry the
water which the sewers cannot. Inns
would not be any cause for anxiety,
he saws, because in the course OF a
very short time all the water would be
drained off.
"Of course" he said, there is the
possibility or rupture IN Tue sc"Si
lines, but as a general thing we are
equipped with as good a drainage sys-
TEN as any city the size of ours in the
country. We cannot be expected to
be prepared for an emergency such
as this which may not be repeated IN
the course of the next twenty years.
Il apprchend no serious outcome
of this condition and think that our
system will care for the drainage IN
a manner that will make Us feel bet
ter" ;,
In further conversation, Dr.. Foulks
saws, that Hooff's Run and an open
sewer Through East Rosemont are
two places in which the sewer system
may be made deal better But to
close the run will cost far more money
than the city can now afford, and they
can be kept in the present condition
without serious results by the con
tinuation of the disinfection of the
past few years.

To Pay Dividend Draw S5,2SO,lO1
From Undivided Surplus

New York, Feb. 1.-The financial
statement of the United States Steel
Corporation for the final quarter of
192i. issued today, showed that the
corporation failed to earn more than
about onc-sixth of the amount re-
ouired to pay the common dividend
for that period.
Total earnings of $19,612,0333,
against SlS,91S,05S in the previous
quarter, and net income Of Sl1.332.-

sol after deducting interest charges
on bonds and adjustments of various
accounts.
To meet the S12,65S,702 required to
paw dividends on the preferred and
common shares the directors drew
from the undivided surplus the sum
of S5.2S0,90l. On the figures issued
today only 81 cents were earned Of
the SIPS to be paid to common
shareholders for the last quarter.
Total earnings for the year amount
ed to S92709,829, against S176GSG..
S9S in 1920. Total earnings in 1919
were S143,5S9, OG3, and in 1918, when
the war boom was Stlll on, a total OF
S1g9,35, $50 was reported.
