Dedication Of Hall of Medicine
Recalls 6enefactions Of
Great Lawyer
By international News Service.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Mar. g.
Dedication of the great Sterling
Hall of Medicine at Yale Medical
School, which featured the twelfth
annual return of Yale alumni
again called the attention of Yale
graduates to the vast bequest made
under the will of John w. Sterling.
once a New York corporation law
yer and a graduate In the Yale
class of 1864.
The Sterling bequest ran into mil
lions and was, perhaps. the largest
ever given a university in this
country.
Out of the bequest already have
come the Sterling Hall of Medi-
cine, costing 81 ,425, 900; the Ster-
ling Chemistry Laboratory, Largest
chemical laboratory ever erected as
a single unit and costing $780,
900; fourteen Sterling professorships,
established under a fund of 49,
500. 900: and group Of Sterling
feIlowships, made possible by an
other fund of 81 900, 900.
With these visible proofs Of the
Sterling bequest already at hand,
officials Of the university announce
that work will soon be started on
the square bounded by High, Elm,
York and Wall streets for the erec-
ton of the third and chief great
building Of the memorial group, the
Sterling Memorial Library" The
cost of this will run into many mil
lions, possibly as much as the
great Memorial Quadrangle given
by the Hardness family of New
York, which cost 100000 for
buildings alone.
Meanwhile, the dedication of the
Sterling Hall of Medicine marked
the 115th year OF the Yale Medical
School, sixth oldest OF the sort in
the country and Oldest of the Yale
professional schools.

d. C.. Scientists Try to
Determine Causes of
Severe Earth TremOr

Scientists here and throughout
the nation are trying today to de-
termine the cause and probable re-
suits of the earthquake OF Saturday
night which was so severe in Wash
ington that it wrecked the delicate
recording apparatus at Georgetown
University.
Reports received by local scien'
lists show that the disturbance was
felt throughout the entire eastern
half of the country from Maine to
Florida and as far West as Detroit
and Louisville, Ky.
In it's severity and widespread
character the earthquake Is one OF
the worst ever recorded In the
United States though 1t caused lit
tie damage.
Records taken at Georgetown
University before the apparatus
was damaged show that the center
OF the disturbance was $40 miles
from Washington, according to the
Reverend Francis A. Tondorf. noted
seismologist. He believes that the
center was in the Great Lakes,
where the most severe effects were
felt. and gives this as the reasons
for the lack of destructive effect
~ Il. CClCltASgo Wow
Information received here from a
Canadian chronological observatory
places the center at the mouth or
the Saguenay river, province OF
Quebec. 1t is the opinion or ex-
perts of the Museum or Natural
History, New York, that the
tremors were caused by the slip
ping of a rock mass along the line
known as Logan's fault, which was
responsible for a minor earthquake
In 1914.
Father Tondorf believes that
there will be no further major
disturbances. He declares that the
intensity of the shocks and the
fact that they continued Tor more
than an hour indicate that the earth
adjustment was practically com
pleted, though he declared that II
is not improbable that subsequent
minor shock may be felt. though
these probably will be OF a purely
local character.
Await Complete Records.
The earthquake center cannot be
located definitely, he said. untll
records from all recording stations
have been received and compared.
When these records are complete II
will be possible to locate the center
within a mile or two, he explained;
The most remarkable feature OF
the disturbance of Saturday nlgnt'
he said, is it's terrific intensity. 30
sharp were the shocks that the re-
cording arm of the main selsmo'
graph at the university was thrown
completely off the scale sheet, pe'
yond the maximum OF 100. mill
meters.

DOGS ACCUSE BISHOP

Wilbur and Walter Bishop, brothers

non Bishop, son of James Bishop,
ali grandsons of king David"
Bishop. head of the Bishop khan,
whose kingdom lies in the noun
tafns near Hancock. are being
sought by officers and a posse on
charges duplicating them with the
burning of the barn of William F.
Lynch, near Black Oak Church, in
Fulton county, few days ago.
Lynch was the chief witness
against king David" Bishop and
others of his tribe at their trial for
an attack upon the church on
Christmas Eve, 1928, all of them
being convicted.
The warrants are the direct re-
suit Of the use of bloodhounds after
the fire. The dogs red the officers
to the homes of James and Charles
Bishop. The accused men are be-
lieved to have fled. The officers
said bad feeling has existed between
the Bishops and Lynch since the
trial. Lynch is said to have re-
ceiVed numerous threats.

MELBOURNE, March 2.-The
Australian seaman is perhaps
the most "hard-boiled" of his
Gloss in the world, if the fol-
lowing incident can be taken
as any criterion.
The Interstate liner Can
berra, while steaming along the
coast one Sunday, passed a
British warship. Orders were
given to dip the flag, which
took exactly two minutes.
Those members of the crew
who we're concerned in dipping
the flag claimed half an hours

When this was refused the
whole of the crew went on
