Representative Hammer stated
that he had not depended entirely
upon the testimony given at the
school hearings for his knowledge
of conditions. but had made sew
eral tours of inspection of the
schools. He did Eot reveal his
identity upon these occasions but
assumed the role OF an interested
citizen.
The conditions as explained by
the school heads were not eNaE-
Eerated. Representative Hammer
declared. OvercrowdinG was a COM

of the old schools were poorly
lighted. He also stressed the i'm
pcrtance Of providing better ven

LOS ANGELES. Cal, March 10
The earthquake disturbances
which rocked practically all of the
southern part of the State today
we're the most violent tremors ex-
perienced in a number of years.
The shocks. three in number and
lasting seventeen minutes, rocked a
territory 200 miles long and $50
miles wide. extending from San Luis
ObispO County. with Los Angeles as
a Southern terminus.
The first quake came with heavy
violence and was followed by two
others which gradually diminished
in force. Reports from the affected
territory declare an undulating
movement similar to that of a
heavy sea accompanied the shocks.
Many Flee Homes.
In several towns Of the Southern
coast the force was sufficient to
cause many to fee their homes as
the structures rocked on their
foundations. In practically all of
the towns the streets were Uttered
with broken glass and toppled
chimneys.
An oil pipe line traversing the
entire territory affected by the
quake was broken in four places
and thousands of barrels of crude
oil formed miniature lakes nearby.

Members of the democratic party
who are in conference with the gov

sions on the budget. The leaders
of the party declare they are able
to muster seventy votes which will
enable them to block the budget or
new taxation unless their demands
are met. This with,a scattering of
other opponents of the budget will
probably be sufficient to defeat the

Asks Law Re-Established for
Washington This Summer.

Representative Ernest r. Acker-

in the House yesterday re-establish-
ing the daylight saving law in the
District.
should the bill be passed the new
order will go into effect the last
Sunday in April and cease operat-
ing after the last Sunday in October.
Advocates of the bill explain that
the principal objection to the meas
ure has come from the farming
districts of the country and this
would not effect the District of CO.
lumbia whose population is made up
principally of clerical workers who
would be greatly benefited by a
measure of this kind.
It Is understood that the Dis
trict Committee to whom the bill
has been referred will call upon
local organizations for their opinion
as TO the advisability of reinstitut-
ing the daylight law here.
