QUAKE CONTINUED FOUR MIN

ANE\ONDo oHO"
New York, March 2.-Greater New
York's first earthquake in so years
at 9:21 p. m. Saturday was "of ex-
tremely violent proportion but was
without "after tremors," which show
that repetition of the shock that
drove thousands into the streets and
caused numerous small panics
throughout the city, is not to be
feared.
Father j. S. O'Connor of Fordham
university, seismograph expert,
whose instrument recorded the shock
here, is authority for the statement,
which should set at rest the fears of
New Workers.
The seismograph record if the quake
shows that it continued for four full
minutes. The instruments needle
jumped inches.
The police records show that re-
serves were dispatched to numerous
sections to quiet terrorized citizens
who had fled to the streets and stood
huddled into groups while the build

Washington. March 2.-The center
of the earthquake which shook a
large part of the United States Sat-
urday night probably was in one of
the Great Lakes, Father Torndortf,
in charge Of the seismograph at
Georgetown university, declared to-
day.
The severity of the tremors re-
corded by the Georgetown instru-
ment could not be accounted for
merely on the grounds Of their near
ness to Washington. Father Torn
dortf said. Shocks as close as Vir-
ginia, a few years ago, resulted in Il
very faint record here, he pointed
out.
All indications are that the earth
quakes reached point of great in
tensity at their center, according to
the priest, who is one of the coun-
try's foremost seismographers. The
fact that no reports of really serious
quakes have been received indicated
that the greatest shaking Of the
earth was under the waters of the
Great Lakes, he said.
Tidal waves might accompany an
underwater tremor, Father Torn
doxf.. said, although they do not al
ways do so.
Seismographers cannot tell wheth-
er the readjustment in the earth s
crust which caused the earthquake
has been completed, or whether it
will continue, causing further shocks,
according to the Georgetown scien-
fist.
