NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-The earth,
in its whirl through space. got off
center a few moments today and
shifted its poles" or axes, to fit the
new center Of rotation. Then. that
it might not be travelling on flat
wheel" so to speak, a few million
tons Of solid rock, somewhere off
the western coast Of the United
States in the bed OF the Pacific
ocean, slipped" hundred feet or so
to even things up. The seismograph
record showed o deviation of a mil
limeter and a half. Observers here
said they could not be certain wheth-
er the displacements were horizontal
or vertical.
This is the manner in which prof
essors OF geology and seismographic
observers account for the violent
earth vibrations which demoralized
instruments in observatories today.
Thus far the exact location Of the
huge ''slip" has not been determined,
although observers from Washington.

off the mouth of the Columbia river.
Absence OF a record disruption of
the visible surface Of the earth or
of the huge tidal waves which usually
radiate from the scene of an earth
quake, led observers to believe that
the slip occurred miles below the
bed of the ocean.
It's violence was attested by the
quavering seismograph which In
some instances were thrown from the

For Congress To Solve
TRenuhllcan al. 2. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON. Jan. 31.--Discus-
sion of the long pending soldier
bonus bill was renewed today.
Before the house ways and means
committee, which by agreement of
Republican leaders in congress, re-
opened hearings, officers of organi-
zations of former service men urged
immediate action on the bill, and in
reply to questions said that the prob
lem of raising the necessary funds
was one for congress to solve.
In the senate Republican Leaders
frustrated attempts by the Demo-
Gratis to add the bonus bill to the
allied debt refunding measure. At
ter brief but heated debate, the SEN
ate adopted, AZ to %. n motion by
Senator Watson. Republican of In
diana, to lay on the table an amend
ment offered by Senator Simmons,
Democrat of North Carolina, incor-
porating the ''five-way' adjusted
compensation plan.
Reject Jones Amendment
The amendment would have pro-
vided that the bonus be paid out of
the interest on the foreign debt and
that if this should prove inSuffi-
cient. the secretary of the treasury
should issue certificates of indebted
ness to be redeemed out Of future in
terest payments, or with the APP
proval of the president, to sell so
much of the foreign bonds as might
be necessary.
Later the senate rejected. AZ to II,
an amendment by Senator Jones,
Democrat of New Mexico. which car
ried the "five-way' plan but had no
provision for raising funds.
In offering his amendment, Sena-
tor Simmons declared that when he
had proposed the bonus bill as an
amendment to the tax revision meas
ure, he had been told it was the de-
sire OF the majority to act on the
bonus in connection with the debt
refunding bill, but now the Republi-
cans had decided that the bonus
measure should be acted unon sep
arately.
Opposing the amendment, Chair
man McCumber of the finance COM
mittee declared it had been decided
to have the bonus bill originate in the
house because it would be revenue
raising measure, and that everyone
knew adjusted compensation legis-
lation soon would be enacted. He

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator
Kenyon of Iowa, leader of the agri-
cultural bloc and chairman of the
senate labor committee, was named
by President Harding today to be
circuit judge for the Eighth district.
The senate confirmed the nominal
ton unanimously.
At the White House it was said
that the president had appointed Mr..
Kenyon to succeed the late Judge
Walter /. Smith because of his high
regard for the senator's ability and
because of the latter's known desire
to have a place on the federal bench.
Senator Kenyon, in statement, also
said the president, when a member
of the senate, knew Of his dislike for
politics and his love for the law.
In the senate, Senator Harrison,
Democrat of mississippi, after con-
firmation had been voted, said that
while he was confident that the APP
pointment Of Mr.. Kenyon was be-
cause OF the latter's eminent qualifi-
cations, the question would arise
throughout the agricultural sections
as to whether the selection was not
intended to drive a wedge into, and
ultimately destroy, the agricultural
bloc. senator Heflin. Democrat of
Alabama, declared that with the
Kenyon appointment the drive TO
break the agricultural bloc has been
started"
To Leave Senate in February
Senator Kenyon does not plan to
quit the senate until probably the
middle of February, BY that time he
expects passage of the Capper CO.
operative marketing bill in which he
is vitally interested and with which
he had much TO do as leader OF
the agricultural bloc.

The life of the commission would
be three years from the date OF the
approval of the act and the members
other than the secretary OF the
treasury would be appointed by the
President subject to confirmation by
the senate. During it's life, the COM
mission would be required 10 make
annual reports TO congress at the be-
ginning Of each regular session in
December.
Only members OF the cabinet and
OF congress will be appointed on the

ator Watson, Republican Of Indiana.

was not authorized by the president

nevertheless. knew this was the
Presidents intention.
Aside from the amendment that the
refunded debt be not less than Az
per cent which was an added amend
ment from the finance committee.
the only important change made IN
the bill by the senate was the elm
ination OF n provision which would
have given the commission authority
to settle and refund any claims witch
the states hereafter might have had
against any foreign government .

MANY Cities Feel Shock

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 31.-Earth-
quake shocks were felt today in Cali
fornia north of San Francisco and
throughout the coast towns of Ore
gon. In Oregon cities the tremors
shook windows, awakened sleepers
and ratified dishes. No damage was
reported. The shocks were reported
by seismographs in California ana
Washington. Efforts to obtain veri-
fication from ships on the Pacific
ocean of deductions at Harvard uni
versity and the University of Cali
fornia that the center of the disturb
ance was on the floor of the Pacific
off the coast Of Washington or Ore
ron. were of no avail. Ships spoken
10 by radio failed to report any un-
usual occurrence.
In California, the lighthouse at
Cape Mendocino. 80 miles from Eu-
reka, felt the shocks to greater eA-
tent than any other point reporting.
the lighthouse keepers feared that
the lenses would be broken by the
vibrations. The severity of the
earthquake at Cape Mendocino was
attributed by laymen here as due 70
the fact that the chief geological fault
in California has It's end in that 1n-
mediate neighborhood. This master
fault Of the Coast range extends from
Cape Mendocino to the Gulf Of Cali
fornia, a distance of 700 miles, and
closely follows the coast line until 1t
reaches a point below Monterey bay,
where it swerves inland a score or
more miles.
California has several other well
defined geological faults, the most
conspicuous being on the peninsula
south OF San Francisco county. They
are known as the San Bruno, san
Andreas and Pilarcitos faults. the
tremblor that shook San Francisco III
April, 1906, had its origin in the mas
ter fault and it's effect was felt along
it's entire length, but the physical
damage was confined to ccmpara-
lively small area in the west central
section of the state.

Lost" earthquakes taking place in
mid d-ocean often cause vast changes
in the appearance of the ocean bed
which are not discovered for years.
Such earthquakes are frequent
near the West Indies and beneath the
Pacific, westward of the Americas

which form the Japan Archipelago.
The first major catastrophe by
earthquake or volcanic eruption
which history records was that at
Constantinople in 557, when 10000
persons perished. Since then there
have been 20 such disasters.
The greatest toll of human life was
taken in a volcanic upheaval in
Yeddo in 1903, when 10000 persons
lost their lives. More than two CEN
