u. S. LOSES APPEAL
. ON GERMAN FUNDS
Justice Van 0rsdeI Holds
Payment Is Due Creditors
Ahead of Government.

The District Court of Appeals to-
day, in an opinion by Justice Van
Orsdel, decided against the contention
of the United States that it has a
prior lien on a fund of s2.715,571 held
by the Treasurer of the United States
as the result OF seizures by the alien
property custodian under the trad
ing-with the enemy act.
The Government, through Attorney
General Stone, argued in the District
Supreme Court that the imperial
German government was Indebted to
1t to the extent of several million
dollars for ships destroyed during
the World War and for indemnity
for the loss of lives of seamen. 1t
sought to attach this claim to the
fund resulting from the seizures.
Others Claimed Payment.
of suits then pending in the lower
court by holders of notes of the
Imperial German government, in
cluding the Securities Corporation
General, Hallgarten & Co., the
Equitable Trust Co. of New York,
the American National Bank of St
Paul, the Republic Trading Co. and
number OF individuals in different
sections of the country. The lower
court held that the United States had
no such prior lien over the holders
OF the notes as claimed and dismissed
its petition. The government ap-
pealed. but Justice Van Orsdel up
holds the decision OF the lower tri-
bunal.
Under the opinion OF the appellate
court the creditors of the German
government are given priority in the
distribution of this fund. 1t does not
matter, Justice Van Orsdel says, that
the fund is not large enough to pay
all the creditors of the German gov
ernment, as Congress intended that
payment should be made as a result
OF race of diligence" and those
first securing judgments should be
the first paid.

CAPITAL IS SAFE
FROM NEW QUAKE
Section Through Ripping for
so Years, Scientist Says,
After Study.

Having safely survived its worst
shaking up in history, washington
may settle back now complacently IN
the knowledge that it may be 80 years
or so before she suffers another at
tack of ague such as gripped her ana
a score of other cities during Satur-
day nights earthquake.
At least this is the belief of Father
Tondorf, professor of seiSmology at
Georgetown University, recognized
authority on earthquakes. There Is
little likelihood of any belated shiV-
ers, he says, as apparently the severe
disturbance Saturday night shook all
lingering trembles loose at that time.
The needles on the seismographs at
Georgetown University were going
about their business in their usual
way today. tracing a well behaved
though somewhat Jagged line on the
cylindrical chart, in marked contrast
to the violent side-swipes and skids
registered during the late tremors.
Center Believed in Lakes.
Father Tondorf made a careful
check-up of the records traced Satur-
day night and has reached the con-
GluSion that the center of the quake
was about $50 miles away from Wash
ington, in the immediate vicinity of
the Great Lakes and probably some
ten miles below the surface of the
earth. He declares it was one of the
severest shocks that has ever oc-
CURED in this country, not excepting
the San Francisco earthquake.
1t was easily comparable with the
quake of 1S1113, centering in the
Mississippi valley and which was felt
over a wide territory of the United
States, Father Tondorf said.
1t was pointed out that the popu-
lar mind rates such disturbances ac-
cording to the amount of physical
damage ensuing from fire, etc, but
that these consequences do not nee
essarily follow a very pronounced
Saturday night, when no material
damage was reported from any of
the sections shaken.
Cites Toxic Disaster.
Father Tondorf cited the Toxic dis
aster of 1923 as an example of this con-
tention. An official report of that earth
quake stated that 95 per cent of the
damage was done by fire.
Evidence that the tremors were wide
" felt here Saturday night is shown by
the fact that the Georgetown seismo-
logical department was swamped with
nearly thousand telephone calls short
ly after 9 80 o'clock, most of them COM
ing from the northeast and southeast
sections of Washington. Newspaper Of
fees and police stations also were flood
ed with inquiries and information re-
garding the disturbances. Numerous
long-distance calls We're interspersed
among the local messages received by
Father Tondorf

Seismo1ogist Unable to Locate

BIRMINGHAM, England March g.
J. j. Shaw of West Bromwich, who is
considered one of the leading authori-
ties on seismology in England, said
that his seismograph last night show
ed a record Of an earth movement of
moderate intensity and that it ap-
peared the disturbance occurred 5000
miles or more from England.
Mr. Shaw said the first movement
he could trace was at 2:27 o'clock yes
terday morning (9:27 pm, Saturday.
American Eastern standard time). He
had learned that at the Bidston OBJ
servatory, Liverpool, the record began
at 2,20 am. The discrepancy in time,
Mr. Shaw added, and the fact that the
record was extremely ill-defined at
the start, made 1t difficult to locate
the quake with accuracy.
