BUILDING DEADLOCK
EXISTS IN CLEVELAND
fBy Associated Press)

CLEVELAND. Ohio, March Com
struction OF many buildings was at
standstill here today and many men
were idle as a result OF the failure OF
the building trades council and the
building trades employers association
TO reach an agreement over wage
scale for 1922. The old contracts ex-
pired last midnight according to the
contractors but the unions insist they
are operative until May /.
The 81 unions affiliated with the
trades council have membership OF
about $4,000 1t could not be learned
early today how many OF these are al
fected. as not all of them have been
working and separate agreements
were reached between the plasterers
and glazers unions and the employers.
Building under construction amounts
10 approximately $25,000,000. William
r. Nennessey secretary OF the EN-
ployers' association predicted that the
tie-up will be complete while Charles
Smith. secretary ,of the Building
Trades council estimated only about
so percent would be affected.

KEWpIES TO ENGACE
I'm LAST CONTEST
OF SEASON TONIGHT

Probably the final appearance OF the
Camera Shop Kewpies on the local
floor this season will be "Wednesday
night when they stack up against the
New Madison Independent five on me
Coliseum floor, In what promises TO pc
the best battle the Kewps have peeh
in this season.
New Madison is the only team tnat
has taken the number OF the heWpies
this season and they are coming de-
termined to repeat the victory over
the local outfit. The Ohioans nave
been putting in two weeks OF nara
practice for this game and will be IN
the best condition to battle the Kew
pies on the large Coliseum floor.
The new combination of o. Monger
and Crafts at forward, Sauter at CEN
ter, and Lehman and Retz at guards,
. showed to good advantage in the prac-
tice session, Tuesday night on the Col
iseum floor. The team is working on
a five man offense that will cause the
New Madison five very much trouble
during the entire contest as 1t is
style of game that is hard to break up
H.. Monger will not be with the Kew
pies any more this season, due, TO
illness.
Pennsy Teams Mix.
In the first game of the evening the
Richmond division Pennsy basketball
five will meet the Columbus division
quintet in 40-minute battle. The To-
cal division team presents very
strong lineup and has taken the num-
Der of all the division teams in this
section both on the local floor and on
the oppositions floor
The Pennsy team has been putting
in extra ticks of practice for this bat
tie and are in the pink of condition.
The Columbus team probably has the
next strongest team to the locals in
the Pennsy league.
Tickets for the game can be pur-
chased from any member of the Kew
pies team and the Pennsy team. The
price of admission will be so cents
and their will be no reserve seats. The
first game will be call at 1880 O'Clock.
- Word has been received here from
the New Madison management that a
large delegation of fans will accom-
pany their team to witness the game,
so will afford the local fans plenty of
opposition in that line.

Methodist to
Divide Missions

Hot Springs. Ark. April 1S.-A
plan for dividing the Board Of Mis-
sions into a Board Of Home Mis-
sions and a Board of Foreign Mis-
sions will be before the general
conference Of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church South which meets;
here May 3 and according to
Bishop John NJ. Moore, of Nash
Vile, the Bishops have expressed
themselves as favorable to the
change.
Bishop Moore said the plan was
agreed on by a commission which
was authorized by the last general
conference. The commission, he
said was Of the opinion that home
missions could not receive. IN the
Board Of Missions as now con-
stituted the consideration and en-
phasis which the needs Of the home
field warranted.
The fact tha. our work, in the
nine foreign fields of China, Japan,
Korea, Manchuria, Africa, Europe,
Brazil, Cuba and Mexico has
grown to such proportions that it
demands the full time and attcn-
ton of Il great board and the fact
that the work OF home missions
has become tremendously urgent
have brought the commission to
declare for two boards, Bishop
Moore said.
Bishop Moore said the commits
sion was of the opinion that home
missions should stand alone until
it comes TO itself in politics. move
ments and methods OF adminiStra-
ton, and then at the end OF one
or two quadrienniums the two
boards could come together on an
euual basis and constitute one
board with two distinct but allied
departments
The Woman's Missionary Coun-
eli. would not be affected by the
proposed change. Bishop Moore
said, because the council had al
ways had 4 department OF home
missions and a department OF for
eign missions.

Navy Causes
Earthquake Scores

Los Angeles, Calf, April, 1S.-
Weather conditions are responsible
for target practice of tho Pacific.
Fleet off the Southern California,
coast being occasionally mistaken
for earthquake shocks, according
to a. report made to the Chamber
of Commerce OF this city by Dr..
Ford A. Carpenter. head Of the
meteorological bureau x of the
chamber
DR.. Carpenter cited cases Of jan
uary II and March % last when
vibrations caused by big gun fire
rattled houses many miles inland
and resulted in reports of earth
quakes" from widely scattered lo-
calitieS
TT is a we'll known fact the re-
port continued. that sound coming
from some point may be heard
is also vari7bhs: The wind. direc-
ton plays a most important part, ia
this. If thessound emitting bods is
in the direction. from which the
wind is coming, the sound may be
heard more distinctly. 1t can be
seen readily that sound waves
travelling in the opposite direction
from which the wind is blowing or
against the wind, will be broken upV
and DETECTED.
The weather conditions dur
ing the evenings Of January II and
March % were, practically the
same. AT both times an area Of
low pressure was central over Ne
vada and Utah, with an area OF
high pressure off the California
coast. Under these conditions
Southern California would expert
encc southerly winds shifting to
westerly by way OF southwestcrly.
The firing took place: near
Catalina Island, which would give
the ships a position practically due
south of Los Angeles. The great
atmospheric waves travelling with
the wind would be carried great
distances. Had there been a north
erly wind the shoc'i would prob
ably have been unnoticed.
With gun firing at sea. the
waves are in the air. but with an
earthquake the waves are sent out
from some disturbance under the
surface Of the earth and a yibra-
ton o. the ground results. The
gun firing shocks rattle windows
and doors but there is no vibra-
ton. The effect is more like
high wind.
AS the navy seems to have
chosen Southern California waters
Ior paotlc practice and target flrlnS
OF the ships, we are likely to have
occurrences of tI.ese shocks from
time to time.

nne Small Fire and Tive, False
Alarms.

The members of the fire depart
nTent have answered during Monday
and Tuesday, two false alarms ana
one alarm calling the department
TO aid in putting out a tiny shingle
fire This latter alarm was sent IN
at I1:45 Tuesday morning. The
very dimunitive blaze on the roef
OF the house at the corner OF Lib
erty street and Salem avenue, was
put out in short order after the
arrival Of the trucks. The dam
age done TO this house, which was
being occupied by a negro named
. George Robinson. was practically
nothing. The fire seems to have
caught from a spark upon the roof.
Phone calls to the fire station,
one at 6:45 Monday evening and
the other coming in at ,3:15 Tues
day morning. sent the trucks with
aM speed on one occasion to
Broad street and out to the gas
plant on the next trip. The report
that the home of Mr.. E. L. Ducom
on Broad street was on fire, prov
ed after the answering Of the
alarm and upon investigation. to
be false and the only foundation
fer the FIRE fright was based on the
burning OF a birds nest in the
: neighborhoed BY little boy. The
noticing by lady unfamiliar with
this event, Of the periodical COM
bastion OF excess air and gas from
one of the stacks of the gas plant
gave the trucks their run to the gas
plant end Of town on Tuesday
morning. The gas plant was found
to be in perfect order, functionins
very properly and nothing being
found in the slightest degree amiss.
