Sen. Wheeler Not GUILTY
of Using His Influence
SLIGHT QUAKE
NOTED IN N, E,
PART BAY STATE

Boston, Apr. 24.-Southeastern
Massachusetts. including Cape Cod,
the islands of Martha's Vineyard and
Nantucket, was shaken early today
by a slight earthquake, thought by
Professor K. L. Mathier, Harvard
seismologist, to have been caused by
a readjustment of the earth's crust
along the northern shore of Long
Island Sound. The tremors, lasting
from 10 to 80 seconds. were felt as
far northward as Boston and as far
west as Worcester. The shock was
family recorded on the seismograph
at Harvard college. Cambridge, at
2.56 A. NJ. approximately the time
the tremors were reported else
where.
In the vicinity of New Bedford,
along the coast of Buzzard's Bay, the
tremors were reported to have been
accompanied by rumbling sound
as of thunder or quarry blast.
Dishes and window panes ratified.
trembling.
Tho shock, the third to jar Massa-
chusetts since early in January, was
felt in varying degree along Cape
Cod and was reported distinctly felt
in Worcester. Middleboro and the vi
entity of Brockton. Night police Of
ficers in Boston said that they felt
the shock. In all instances the

A. NJ.
Had It not been known that
shock had occurred, it was said at
Harvard, the slightly accentuated
tracing of the seismograph needle
would have been attributed to heavy
street traffic.
1T was a very local disturbance"
Professor Mather said. He explain
ed that three of the four regions in
the vicinity of New England sub
ject to earth shocks have been in
action already this year. The Gulf
of Maine, he said. was shaken in
January. The St. Lawrence valley
was visited in February. The next
earthquake. he said. may be reported
in the Connecticut valley.
Referring to today's tremors. he
said: THE whole thing was con-
fined pretty closely to the region
right around New Bedford.
IT'S too early to come to any con-
clusion as to just what occurred, but
my guess is that there was a slight
readjastment of the earths crust
along the northern shore of Long
Island Sound. You know earthquakes
of slight intensity are common there.
l don't suppose there has been a
period of 10 years during the past
100 when there has not been an
earthquake of slight intensity there"

The position of the United States

to naval officers who today viewed
with alarm the rapidly falling
barometer. At a. m. the big

The wind was scarcely thirty

four hours the glass fell precipi-

Chlorine Gas Danger.
Messages from the coast guard
