"Blaze a New Trail and

Evanston, ILL.,, June 24.-Unless
Americans learn "the way of life in
human justice" they will die nation

have gone before, Chase S. Osborn,
former governor of Michigan said in a
commencement address Monday at
Northwestern University" 1t shall

said, "to blaze a new trail of life and

immigration Law
May be frightened

Washington, June 26.-UnGer a bill
designed to tighten up the immigra-
tion law, introduced today by Chair
man Johnson of the house immigra-
tion committee. admission for per-
manent residence in this country
would be granted only to aliens ELI
gible for citizenship, thus it was
pointed out shutting the gates TO
Japanese, Chinese Monaohans and
others not granted the right of cit
izenship who desire such residence
The Johnson bill also would reduce
on July l, 1923, the quota percent
age from each country from to 9
per cent based on 1910 census fig
pres. In addition to the per cent
quota each country, however, would
be given8a fiat allowance of 600, the
maximum total from 900 flow being
estimated at $4,000. The percentage
reduction, according to Mr.. Johnson's
estimates, would cut the total quota
admissions from around 255.OOO to
100000. Exemptions are not incIud-
ed in these estimates.
Not more than ten per cent of any
country's quota would be admitted
into the United States in one month
which would extend the movement
over period of ten months instead
of five as at present.
No attempt will be made to have
the house vote on the Johnson pro
posal at this session. 1t was Offered

Four Earthquakes
Daily in Japan

Toxic, June 26.-The residents of
lokio and vicinity who experienced
the earthquake of April &c, when their
houses rocked like ships in heavy
sea and movable articles .felIs> from
tables and sideboards, have hardly
been treasured by the statement of
Dr. Fusakichi Omori, famous seismol-
ogist and professor of the Imperial
University, that future shocks will at
their greatest be about double the
force of the last quake. The late one
was considered bad enough. A wall
around the Imperial Palace which had
withstood shocks for 800 years fel,
INTO the surrounding rmoat; modern
granite walls were damaged and a
new, reinforced concrete building, one
OF several under construction bv
American firms, and which are be-
lieved to be earthquake proof, was
slightly cracked. However, DIR, ONO
ri says these buildings being on more
fragile ground than other Toxic
buildings have proved their ability to
withhold any shock that might in fu-
ture visit the city, although the last
quake was only one-sixth the intensity
CT the shock of 1855 when so 600
houses were destroyed and 6.7OO
deaths resulted.
DR.. Omori's predictions are based
on the known scientific fact that
earthquakes are the phenomena ac-
companying the removal of weak
cleavages thus binding the strata and
preventing the occurrence of severer
shocks.
There are an average of 1.46OI
earthquaes yearly Or about four dailv
felt in Japan, not including minor
ones which are recorded only on the
most delicate instruments and in
1'5Oo years there have been 224 more
or less disastrous ones. Most of these
originated under the Pacific. During
the last 20 years, said DR.. Omori, the
origin of the earthquakes felt in To-
kio has been always about Is or 20
II distant from the city, there being
no case in which Toxic or it's vicinity
was the origin. "It follows that thesA
quakes had nothing to do with To-
kio as CENTRE" adds the professor,
but it must be feared that, as these
quakes decrease in number in the fu-
ture, Toxic will be, in It's turn the
centre of vibration. AS a rule, how
ever, points several ri distant from
the centre of vibration feel the quake
more severely than the point of ori-
gin. For this reason, Toxic, Yoko-
hama and Chiba built largely on re-
claimed land vibrate more than the
scene of origin"

Two Fires Here In Night Keep Department Bus
AGAIN DOUBT MURDER CLUE ST0R1
The Whole Truth
Oh Mrs. CibSOn'S Story

NEW BRUNSWICK. Oct. 81
Doubt as to the credibility of the
statement made by Mrs. Jane Glib
son, who claims to have been an eye
witness to the Hall-Mills murders
on the night of September II. be-
gan to seep out from those closely
following the efforts to solve the
mystery today, when it became
known that certain discrepancies in
statements. attributed to Mrs. Glib
son, had been found. This doubt
was expressed by newspaper mez
and private citizens who have been
intensely interested in the case, the
authorities carrying on the investi-
CATION still maintaining that Mrs
Gibson's story has been corroborated.
The great amount of publicity
given by the authorities to the story
of Mrs. Gibson is looked upon by
many as g smoke SCREEN" thrown
out by the investigators, to cover
up their actions in connection with
the investigation along altogether
different lines. Nevertheless Special
Attorney General Wilbur A. Mott,
who was in Somerville this morning,
and had been quoted last week as
saying he could make an arrest at
once, has failed to make any state
ment which would tend to show
that the Gibson story had been dis
credited.
Stories to the effect that Mrs. Glib
son. although she might have been
a widow. is nov the wife of William
H. Easton, who is said to be the

father of William Easton, Jr., have
been circulated and the authori-
ties today failed to register any CUR
prise over this discovery.
The authorities claim they have
known all along that Mrs. Gibson,
whose first husband was said to have
been a minister, is in reality the wife
of Easton. In addition to the son.
William, Investigators said today,
there are several other grown chill
dren, living in this vicinity.
Mrs. Gibson has taken exception TO
the notoriety given her private af-
fairs by the papers to the extent
that she armed herself with a dou-
ble-harreled shot gun this morning
and kept inquisitive newspaper men
from her home with this weapon
She is reported to have fired al
photographers and is said to have
appealed to the state police for pro-
lection at her farm ear the old
Phillips farm.
The bullets found yesterday, it was
learned this morning, were not 81
calibre cartridges, the type said to
have caused the death of the couple,
but .22 long bullets instead. The
type of bullet found yesterday would
not fit in an automatic, 1t was said.
There seems to be little doubt that
the murders were committed with an
automatic revolver. .

HUDSON COUNTY
PROBE REPORT
Federal Grand Jury Called In
to Session Suddenly at
Trenton Today
WINES LIPS SEALED
Causes Rumor of lnvestiga-

That County
WINES LIPS SEALED

TRENTON, Oct. 31.-The sudden
calling of the federal grand jury into
a special session here today, gave
rise to the INT that an examine
ton of the heavy Hudson county
registry from next weeks election is
going to be conducted. Neither Dis
trict Attorney Whine, who Is a Re-

business before the grand jury, Iut

probed.
IN lips are sealed as are every
body elses," declared Mr.. Winnie,
when approached for information.
The decision to continue the pres
ent federal grand jury for an in
definite period was reached here yes
terday following a conference which
the district attorney had with Fed
eral Judge Rellstab, the latter an
nounced in court this morning.
The jury would ordinarily have

or sufficient importance to warrant a
federal grand jury investigation. He
added that the Jurors would agree,
he thought, when they were apprised
of the situation.
The deliberations of this body are
secret, but the talk heard was to the
effect that District Attorney Whine,
thinks the heavy registration is
fraudulent. The federal grand jury
is given jurisdiction to investigate
the matter because of the fact that
a federal official, a United States
senator, is to be elected. The Hud-
son Democratic organization has
predicted a smashing Democrat ma
jority in that county for the sena-
torial and gubernatorial tickets OF
it's party, and there is registration OF
close to 100000, or about the pro-
portions of the heavy 1920 vote,
when, however, the county went Re-
publican by 100000.
