BOTH COASTS RISING.

PALO ALTO. Calf, March 3.-Dis-
cussing earthquake shocks which shook
the Eastern part of the continent from
Montreal to the Mississippi Valley
Saturday night, Prof. Bailey. Willis of
Stanford University, president of the
Seismological Society Of America, said
yesterday:
Both coasts are rising. On the
Pacific there is a terrific submarine
pressure which tends to elevate the
coast line. The temblors in California
have nothing to do with the sinking
of any large area of land. On the East
coast the elevating effect is actua lily
much less than here, because the pres
sure is apparently not so great. No
one has yet determined the cause Of
the pressure, but the effects are plain
ly apparent.
1.-THE so-called earthquake faults are
the shearing planes caused by that
terrific ocean pressure. When enough
lifting force is manifested to break
down the friction along-these shearing
planes there is a slight movement and
an elastic vibration, which is trans
mitted to a great distance. This we
called an earthquake.
"On the Pacific the water line is
sinking as the land elevates. The
can earthquake Of Saturday was prob
ably in the Atlantic or the Gulf of
Mexico"

139 MEN MUST LOSE

Slack Work and Lack of Funds
Until Next Fiscal Year Given
as Reason for Economies.

Employees of the Washington Navy

so slack now that the yard could noe

ployes are dismissed He cited 81

that if an extension was granted ON
such projects At more would hava

Rear Admiral Bloch. chief of this
Bureau of Ordnance, said today that
there could be no extension on any
of the projects as there would be no
funds available for the purpose until
after July /. Therefore, the men
whom Admiral Hutchinson said might
be kept IL funds were provided must
go with the rest.

must go and the number follows: lit

This large decrease in the local
Navy yard force brings the gun fac
tory organization down practically to
a skeleton. There are just enough
employees left in the yard to keep the
few projects for which there are
funds going on.

TO SWEAR ON BIBLE
BY WHICH HE LEARNED TO READ
Decided to Use Book Ciuen by grandmother for
Oatl-Father Is Arriving Today-Fate of
Congress Pay Still in Air.

When Calvin Coolidge takes the
oath Of office as President tomorrow
he will use a Bible given to him by
his grandmother when he was a very
small boy and not the old Coolidge e
family Bible which was used that
memorable morning in the Coolidge
homestead in Vermont, when the
Presidents father administered the
oath.
1t was announced by an assistant
to the President several days ago that
the latter Bible would be used to-
morrow. but this was due to a mis-
understanding. The White House
announced today that IL had been the
Presidents wish from the beginning
to use the book his grandmother
gave him. This Bible has been In the
Presidents possession since he has
been in Washington, and, according
to those close to him, the little book
is one of his most cherished posses
sions.

1t was through this Book that he
President learned to reau 1t was
this Book from which the boy Calvin
read passages each night TO his aged
grandfather until his death 1t has
been to this Book that he has since,
many, many times. turned for spiritual
comfort and enlightenment. AS a
young man, his favorite chapter was
the first chapter of st. John, and 1t
is understood by those about the
White House that the Book will be
opened to that chapter when the oath
Is administered tomorrow
Col John Coolidge, father of the
President, will arrive at the White
House this afternoon to be on hand
for his sons inauguration. Frank w.
Stearns of Boston, intimate friend of
the Coolidges. will be on hand with
one Of the handsome White House
automobiles to greet the proud old
Vermonter when he arrives at Union
Station.
The President informed his father,
before the latter left Plymouth. VT,
for Washington, regarding the Bible
he intended using. and although there
had been stories printed to the effect
that the Coolidge family Bible was to
be used, Col. Coolidge did not permit
himself to become confused, and did
not bring that now famous book.

D. c. ENGINEERING
B|LLFAC|NG VETO
President Understood to
Heed Protest by Board of
Commissioners.

1t is understood at the White House
that President Coolidge will not sign
the bill recently passed by Congress,
which would amend the present law
regulating steam engineering in the
District of Columbia. This feeling is
based principally upon the adverse
report made to him on this measure
by the Board of District Commission
ers and because of the protest made
by others.
1t is the impression of those in a
position to speak authoritatively that
this legislation will probably meet it's
death by the route of the well known
pocket veto. In other words the Presi-
dent will not act upon the recommen-
dation of the Commissioners and will
prevent this bill from becoming law
by simply falling to sign it before the
expiration Of the present Congress.
OmciaIs State Objections.
Because of fear that it's language
was so broad that it might include
automobiles and other small engines,
the Commissioners requested Presi-
dent Coolidge to veto the bill.
If the bill should become law and
the Interpretation placed on it by
the Commissioners should prove COR
rect every motorist would have to
take out an engineers license at So.
In their letter to the President the
Commissioners said:
When the bill was in course OF
passage it was referred to the Com
missioners for report, and they
recommended favorable action there
on. On giving the bill further study,
however. they find that its applica-
tion is of considerably broader scope
than is desirable.
Apparently the act as passed by
Congress would require that any one
operating any kind of an engine. such
as an automobile or a small engine
used in pumping operations or. con-
struction work, would have to- be
licensed under the provision of the
act. The Commissioners do not feel
that such a requirement is advisa BILE,
and that the act should be modified
so as to eliminate such requirement.
Recommend Veto
"The Commissioners, therefore,
if you take such action they will
prepare and submit to the next Con-
gree a revised bill to make such
changes in the present law as may
be advisable
A letter urging President Coolidge
to veto the bill was sent to the White
House yesterday afternoon by the
board of directors of the Washing
ton Board of Trade.

PREDICTS NEW QUAKE.
Harvard Professor Looks for Shock
in Few Months.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, March g.
Prof. Kirtley F. Mather of the de-
partment of geology at Harvard Uni
versity stated last night that there
Is good reason to believe that another
earthquake comparable to the last in
intensity may be expected within the
next few months in the district OF
North America affected by the earth
tremors of February 2S. PrertsMather
placed the origin of the sarthauake
OF Saturday night beneath the ocean
off the coast of New England.
The tremor was the most violent
which has been felt in the North
eastern States since 1855, and had it
originated beneath a populous area
the loss of life would have been
heavy, he said.
Danger to human life in the next
earthquake, he declared, will lie more
in human frailty and fear than from
the physical incident itself
IF men and women keep cool and
refuse to let their fear of the un-
known drive them stark mad, there
will be no loss Of life from earth
quakes in the Northeastern States"
he asserted.

SEVEN CANADIANS
KILLED BY QUAKE
One Town Entirely Cut Off.
Property Loss Heavy.
Buildings Injured.
BY the Associated Press.

OTTAWA, Ontario, March 3.-East-
ern Canada today was endeavoring to
ascertain the extent Of the damage
caused by the earthquakes of Saturday.
Sunday and yesterday. Some points were
still isolated, telegraph wires being put
out of commission by the tremors. The
latest quake, recorded at 10 am. Mon
day, was slight, and caused little dam
age.
Reports from all sections of the Prov
ince OF Quebec show that In addition to
the heavy property loss and numerous
injuries to residents. seven deaths were
recorded, majority being caused by
shock. The property loss was exception
ally heavy in the valley Of the Ottawa
River and the st. Lawrence and the
Saguenay Basins.
The town of Tadousac, 25 miles from
Murray Bay, in the quake region, has
not been heard from since the first shock
rocked the district. Telegraph and tele-
phone communication to the settlement
was crippled. and reports indicated that
month would be required to restore the
services.
The customs house here bears many
marks of the severity Of the quake. e.

TO compel the judge to sign a judg-
ment of eviction.
The chief justice said he expected
IL would not be necessary to issue
a mandamus, as when Judge Mat
tlngly had been apprised of the view
or the Court of Appeals he would
render the necessary judgment
Snould Judge Mattingly, however,
fail to follow the direction of the
court as set forth in the mandate
within a reasonable time the writ

entered judgment Immediately on the
receipt of the mandate of the ap-
pellate court, unless new and differ
ent matters of defense had been set
up in a substituted AFFIDAVIT Of de-
Tense. No such new defenses was in

Another interesting incident was the
return of c. Bascorn slemp, whose
resignation as secretary to the Presi-
dent becomes effective tomorrow. and
who for the past three weeks has
been indulgfng in rest in Florida.
Mr.. Slemp occupied his old desk in
the room adjoining the Presidents,
and, with the assistance of Edward T.
Clark, personal secretary to the Pres
fdent, disposed of an accumulation of
routine business. Mr.. Slemp was ac-
corded an impressive ovation by the
attaches and others about the White
House when he arrived, and later had
long chat with Mr.. Coolidge.
There was more than ordinary sig
nincance attached to the cabinet
meeting held at the White House to-

farewell party for these two officers,
and when the meeting had come to an
end. and the cabinet members were

DRY OFFICERS TO USE

Law Passed at MELONS Request
Will Allow Vessels and Cars
to Be Employed.

Vessels and vehicles seized by the
Government under the customs laws
may be used in the discretion of
the Secretary of the Treasury, for
customs or prohibition enforcement,
under a Senate bill passed by the
House yesterday.
The measure, which was approved
by vote of 136 to 81, was requested
by Secretary Mellon, who explained
that requirements for public sale of
property forfeited, and lack of legal
authority for the prohibition unit to
purchase automobiles, made it neces-
sary to hire cars for enforcement
work Enactment of the bill, he
said, would provide the Government
with means of transportation entail
ing only running expenses and up
keep costs.
Opponents of the measure con-
tended it would work an injustice on
owners of vehicles which had been
stolen or hired and used illicitly
without their knowledge.

Turkish government has resigned.
The Turkish cabinet, formed last
November, with Fethi Bey as premier.
was recently confronted with a seri.
Gus situation due to the outbreak of
a rebellion in Kurdistan. The rebels,
under Sheik Said, not only demanded
autonomy for their country, but an
nounced their determination to re-
store the Caliphate, abolished by the
Angora government
To this end they are reported to
have proclaimed Prince Selim, son OF
the former Sultan Abdul Hamid, az
King OF Kurdistan, and to have issued
an appeal to the population sayinEi
Your Caliphate awaits you. M
Mohammedanism is possible without
the Caliphate- The present govern
ment is opposed to religion"
The Nationalists took military
measures to quell the insurrection
and some fighting has been reported.
Fethi Bey's regime has also been in
dispute with Greece over the expul-
sion from Constantinople OF the Greek
patriarch, Most Reb. Constantinos.
The Turks held the patriarch

English Professor
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 3.-Human in
telltgence appears to reach the
maximums at the age of 16 years,
according to deductions set forth
in a book by Godfrey H. Thom-
son, professor at Armstrong Col
lege, New Castle -on- Tyne.
These deductions, it is explained.
were made after careful research
of a mass of statistics on the sub
ject, and indicate that a person
may add to his book learning and
his knowledge of the world as
the years go along, but that he
will never have a sharper brain
with which to tackle problems
than when somewhere about the
age of 16.
Prof Thomson asserts: "Of the
majority of cases II can be said
that an intelligent man was in
telligent as a child. If he did not
show it in school, it was the re-
suit of his teachers. 1t simply
meant that no lesson was so pre-
sented to him that he would take
an interest in it."
