Scientists Here Deny American
Continent Drifting Westward

tho great continent blocks are not
stable Just before the world war the
Prussian Geodetic Institute at Pots
dam started to redetermine the dif-
ferences Of longitude between places
in Germany and this country. The
war. however, interferred with the
work.
This work was done by cable. Prevf-
ously similar attempts had been made
between this country and England.
During the fall, winter and spring of
1913-1914 similar work was carried on
by the Naval Observatory here and
the bureau Of longitude in Paris.
Longitude II Unchanged.
Radio was used, but all efforts to
find any particular differences in lon
gitude from those taken in 1865 failed.
When the new determinations were
compared with the old 1t was found
they practically coincided with the
average of the old determinations.
The results were sufficient to enable
scientists here to say that they dis
proved any movements great enough
to be determined by our means Of
measuring.

is doing 1t so slowly that this method
of travel cannot be substituted for

DIN HALTS COURT;
JUDGE HAS AUTO
DRYER ARRESTED

Bang! B-a-n-g!! Bang y!
B-a-n-g-r-r-r-r-r-r- ~! Bang!
With a roar like a Big Bertha in op-
GRAFTON, the dignity and solemnity of
the deliberations of the Traffic Court
were broken into late yesterday aft
ernoon.
The horrible din-the back-fire of a
heavy automobile delivery truck ne
gotiating the grade of 9Th street
north at the Police courthouse
corner, 9Th and D, was the source of
the disturbance. The noise continued,
making 1t impossible to hear a wit
ness on the stand giving evidence.
Judge Robert Hardison, presiding.
directed Policeman T. NJ. Lewis of the
second precinct, who was in court, to
go after the offender, who had broken
into the deliberations Of the court.
Officer Lewis made a flying squad
run after the car, and shortly there
after returned with Macco Hill. col
ered, operator of the automobile.
The offender was brought to the bar
charged with operating an automobile
with the cutout open. Hill said that
something had gone wrong with the
cutout as he approached the Police
Court building. The court continued
the case until today, when, On tes-
timony of an expTt, 1t was dismissed,
the court being informed that three
cylinders in the engine were backfir-
ing. and no power on earth could
stop them.

bE[G|ANS DEMAND
DEBT FROM berlin
Payment of 100000, 900
Gold Marks Requested in
Formal Note.
By the Assocta ted Press.

By the Associated Press. 4
PARIS, September 13.-Formal de-
mand was made on Germany by the
Belgian government for the deposit
of 100,0 900, 900 gold marks in the Ma
tional Bank of Brussels, but the de-
mand is SO worded as to permit a
reply by Germany and further nego-
tiations. Although September 10 Is
the date fixed, for the delivery OF
tho gold. it is highly improbable that
a definite decision in the new repara-
tions tangle will be reached before
next week. In the meantime the MEM
bers of the commission are working
for the inevitable compromise.
France is firmly behind the Brus-
sells government in demanding strict
enforcement of the terms of the re-
cent reparations decision. and strong
representations from the French pre-
mier, NJ. Poincare, are believed to
have been largely responsible for the
withdrawal Of the Belgian delegation
from Berlin and tonights request for
gold.
Great Britain favors acceptance of
the German proposals for the exten-
sion of the six-months' moratorium
to eighteen months. Under this
scheme Germany, with the Reichs-
banks guarantee, would pay the 27O,-
006, 600 gold marks due this year in
three installments, in six, twelve and
eighteen months. The compromise
terms called for the payment of this
amount in six months.
The new Belgian action Is regarded
more as a diplomatic move than any
thing else, as the government favors
acceptance Of the German proposition
in modified form. With Belgium
and Great Britain, it is believed that
Italy is backing the extension of the
time limit. The settlement question
is now in the hands of NJ. Poincare.

bLEASE DEFEATED
BY 1900 VOTES
Second Primary Fight for
Governorship Nomination
Won by Mcleod.

COLUMBIA, s. c., September "a
Cole L. Blease. asplrant for a third
term in the governors chair. was de-
feated by approximately $4,000 votes
out of a total of $4,000 in the second
primary of Tuesday. according to prac-
tically complete returns gathered here
today by the Columbia Record, Thomas
G. Mcleod. attorney. of BishopVilie
being the nominee of the party.
]. H. Hope of Union was nominated
state superintendent of education over
J. E. Swearengen. incumbent, by an
almost two to-one ballot.
With only few scattering boxes OUT,
McLeods vote is $500: Blease's. SO, ,293
Hopes vote is 104,543: Swearingens, S,
73.52S.
In several counties where Blease has
in former elections received strong ma
jorities he received much smaller votes
yesterday. In Charleston, where the
former governor has heretofore been
a leader. his lead dwindled to only
about 100 votes.
In Anderson. which has ip former
years gone wild for Blease, his vote
was only 4,62l, to McLeod's 4,412. York
and Cherokee counties. always hereto
fore considered two of the strongest
Blease counties. gave him only small
leads in the votes counted here today.
J. +. Swearingen, superintendent
of education, carried only ten counties
out of the forty-six in his race for
re-election. Mr.. Swearingen's defeat,
it was claimed. was due in part to
the fact that he announced himself
for governor some months ago and
then after a number of prominent
citizens. including two women. en-
tered the race for his office, he alter
ed his plans and changed over to the

Lead Goes to Drys.
In most districts where the wet and
dry issue entered into the campaigns
the avowed drys were in the lead.
One of the features of the congress
sional race was the lead held by Grant
NJ. Hudson of Lansing. for many years
an official of the Anti-Saloon League
in Michigan. over William w. Black
ney of Flint, who had the indorse-
ment of the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment. The anti
prohibition forces found encourage
ment in the thirteenth district ODE
troiD, where one of their candidates,
Clarence j. Mcleod, former represent
ative. was running ahead of State
Representative George Lord and a
field of three other candidates. Daniel
W. Smith, another wet supporter, was
slightly in the lead in the first dis
trict DetroiD, but the vote tabulated
was so slight as to be unacceptable
as indicative of the probable out
come.
One of the most doubtful congress
sional battles was in the eighth dis
trict, where Bird ]. Vincent of Sagi-
nav, William NJ. Smith of St Johns
and Francis o. Lindquist of Green
vile. the latter a former representa-
tive, were leading alternately.
Close races also were seen in the
eleventh and twelfth districts Rep
resentative F. d. Scott of the elev-
enth was being pressed early today
by Frank B. Aldrich of Long Point.
Representative w. Frank James was
in the lead in the twelfth. but Martin
S. McDonough, his only opponent,
supported by the anti-prohibition
forces, Is not far behind.

Theories by German scientists that
the American continent is drifting
westward are not upheld by any OBJ
servations made by the naval OBJ
servatory here, or any other scien-
tific body, according to local scien-
lists today. In dispatch from Lon
don it was stated that one German
geologist stated that "this movement
had been proved by experiments at
observatories in Europe and at
Washington"
The best determinations by local
scientific observers tend to show no
movement of the continent that Is
perceptible TO the best instruments
and means of determination avail
able. If there is any such movement,
it is declared. it is so small that 1t
cannot be discovered.
Denies Any Such Move.
William Bowie. chief Of the divis-
ion of geography, coast and geodetic
survey, declared today that If there
is any such movement, "it Is so small
it cannot be found" Work Of local
scientists has tended to disprove any
such westward no" movement, he
said.
The movement theory is an old one,
he stated, based on the belief that

NEW YORK. September 13.-Frank-

Encyclopedia Britannica, has declined
to make any statement in connec .
tion with the story published by IA
New York newspaper in which n
biographical article of former Secre-
tary of War Baker is referred to as
"a slanderous Misrepresentation of
his career"
The newspaper story. which assert
ing the article, were rallying to his
encyclopedia as refusing to make
any changes In the article.
The article was said to be less than
200 words, Contrasting with one in
the next column devoted to Arthur
James Balfour. which is ten times as
long" The newspaper sets forth that
reference Is made to Mr.. Baker as IAN
American politician" whereas Mr..
Balfour is termed "a British states

The Encyclopedias Britannica then
is quoted as setting forth Mr.. Baker =

After the outbreak of the world
war he indorsed the administration
peace policy. supported the League To
Enforce Peace, and urged that the
National Guard be tried fully before
compulsory service be decided upon
After America entered the war he
recommended moderation toward con-

Lewis received SIS. The vote Of Will
liam l. Norris, who was backed by
the American Legion and the ultra

his total being 377. In Laurel and
Hyattsville, headquarters Of legion
posts, this support was evidenced. In
the first precinct in Laurel Norris

France Ensy Winner.
On the republican ticket, Senator
Joseph l. France was an easy winner,
receiving more than three votes TO one
against his opponent, John w. Garrett

nation.
Senator France was indorsed by prac-

precinct, in Chillum district, DR..
Klemm's home, where the latter re-
ceived 81 votes to Roberts 81.
Unusually Light Vote.
Although the leaders made an ef-
fort to get out the vote, especially
for Bruce, France and Roberts, they
found it difficult to arouse any par
ticular amount of enthusiasm, with
the result that the vote was unus-
ually light. scarcely rs per cent Of
those registered coming to the polls.
The supervisors of election meet to-
