 AS EARTH CRACKS
Break Occurred l5 Miles Down,
 It Is Thought by GeolOgiSt

Boston, Jan. S.-1he probable cause of the earthquake which rock
 ed eastern Massachusetts and New Hampshire, yesterday, shook houses,
 offices buildings and broke windows in many towns throughout that sec | tion, WIS attributed last night by Reginald A, Daly, professor of geolo- gy at Harvard University 10 the cracking of a great strata of rock about fifteen miles below the surface of the earth and somo tens of miles to the north of this city, which for millions of years has been bearing the burden of the millions of tons of earth and rock above it. The quake was the fifth in the three centuries of the recorded history of New Eng lands earth disturbances.
 The shocks was most pronounced along the coast from Portsmouth, \. II. to New Bedford, Mass. The seis- mograph at Harvard University, Cambridge, recorded the disturbance at S:10 in the morning. In greater Boston 1t was accompanied by a rumbling which caused many to
 forsake their homes in fear of fur thcr and greater shocks. Residents at distance from the coast in cen- tral Massachusetts indicated by their
 calls to newspapers their belief that "a serious explosion had taken place
 Minor accidents caused by the shock were reported from towns through the affected region.

WASHINGTON UPSET BY SCOTT SCANDAL
Wants SlenCer Put on Gay Life
 at Capital
By HARRY F. HUNT NEA Service Writer

Washington Jan, S.-Onicial so- eiety in Washington Is getting more excited every minute over the Scott divorce case.
 The excitement probably will con- tinue for quite a while after the case itself has been disposed of. A great many people have been mcn~ toned. in connection with it, In way that promise 10 keep them eNpIa!u- ing indefinitely.
 Just as one little Itcm---
 There were B members Of con- gress with their families, along on the Panama trip from which Con- gressman Scott is said by his wife to have returned bringing two barrels and trunkful of liquor into the country.
 Quite a few Of these concressmen represent very dry constituencies and if ifs established that the Panama junket was drinking party they will not benefit q bit by it poli- ticaly.
 They are denying it already, hut the word picture painted by Mrs. Scott's lawyer of n Kansas states man carrying whole pitcherful Of liquor about the steamship Crsto- bal, Is pretty vivid. Denials may not prove sufficient. Tkcre may have to be a regular inVeStiEatio0,
 An investigation into the Wash ington smart sets morals wouldn't be so easy. What officialdom fears is that Scott's side Of the story will give the country the impression that the capital hasn't got any.
 This wouldn't be fair. A great many of those in the official class live as decorously as anybody.
 All the same. none hut very un- sophisticated Washingtcnians are unaware that their towns Is pretty naughty. They look on 1t indulgeut- ly but are quite conscious that th3 'provinces" arc extremely apt to raise & howl if they find out about 1t.
 For one thing, probably nowhere else In the world are there so many attractive women with nothing 10 do as in Washington official circles,
 They don't i've here. They are simply Staying" In the capital for a few years, during their husbands of ficial terms. Instead of having homes to manage. they put up in hotels or apartments, where every thing Is done for them by servants whom they do not even have to di- rect.
 Fascinating bachelors are numer- ous likewise.
 Dashing, well educated. accom- plished army aud navy officers arc on hand in plenly.
 Among the sWarmiug attaches. secretaries and sub-secretaries of the diplomatic corps married men are the exception rather than the rule. Whats more, great many of them have extremely liberal European ideas on the subject of sex relations.
 Affairs, between men and wom- en of these types have n lot of snap and sparkle. They're staged roman tically. The participants wear uni forms, decorations, broad ribbons

Looming left her last night for

an endeavor to have the Smithsonian n

which seems TO remain as a barrier for

viso Mr.. Wright will not oppose any
effort to have the gift to England can

declared.
Looming said he felt sure that DIR.

CHILD WELFARE
CONFERENCE ENDS
Jurisdiction of Official and Private
Agencies Provokes
Debate.

Discussion Of the relative jurisdic.
tions of public and private agencies in
child welfare work took place yester-
; day at the closing meeting of the
Washington regional conference of the
Child Welfare League of America, at
the Raleigh.
Lieut.. Nina Van Wrinkle of the met.
ropolitan Police Department contended
that this Jurisdiction should be ex-
tended so that public agents. such as
poltcewomen, could do preventive and
protective work
Rev. John A. O'Grady disagreed
He claimed that a policewoman might
represent an object Of fear to the child
and that more harm than good would
result.
James E. Stuart, agent of the Board
of Children's Guardians. also dis
agreed with Mrs. Van Wrinkle.
Judge Kathryn Sellers thanked the
private agencies represented for the
help they had given in the Juvenile
Court of Washington.

Children's Aid Society spoke on the

ice. He held that the power of ad-

general belief that it is evident that
Mr.. Delano is ineligible and that he
has necessarily abandoned all hope of
appointing him. This, however, is
more in the nature of speculation and
Is not substantiated by White House
authorities. although 1t was admitted
that the President spent the greater
part of this morning at his desk con-
sidering this important local matter,
besides comforting with several men in
whom he has great confidence in their
judgment In matters pertaining to
the affairs of this city.
In the event Mr.. Delano is finally
eliminated from consideration, it is
thought by those who are in posi-
ton to speak advisably that the
choice will lie between such men as
William T. Galliher. who was chair
man of President Coolidges inaugural
committee; T. Lincoln Townsend,
president of the Coolidge Dawes Club
and treasurer of the City Club:
Arthur Carr, secretary &C the Wash
ington Board of Trade; all prominent
Republicans and leading figures i'm

Washington. and Merritt o. Chance,
former postmaster of the District:
Robert n. Harper, president of the
District National Bank and one of
the leaders In the movement resulting
in the building of the Washington
Auditorium, both Democrats; Charles
A. Baker, former president of the
Federation of Citizens Associations
and now a member of the Citizens
Advisory Council.
Although the President has indicat
ed that he would like to maintain a
non bipartisan position respecting the
Board of Commissioners, those who
are close to him feel certain that party
Affiliations will not keep any one from
being appointed.

Given S250,000 Too Much,
Borah Says-BeIgium Soon
Ready to Fund Debt.
BY the Associated Press.

| By the Associated Press.
The war debt discussion has turned
back to ITS, when America borrowe ed
from France to provide one of the
two latest developments
Senator Borah, chairman of the
Senate foreign relate committee
in letter has declared the Treasury s
| official records prove that America
not only did not haggle over the
| amount of Frances loan, but in pay
ing the debt included S250,0O0 too
much,
The other development is that Bel =
gium, battle-ground of the World
War. is likely to be the next power
to fund its loans from the United
States.
Senator Borah, in letter to the
London Observer. made public here.
answered a letter by the author of
biography of Beaumarchais ques-
tioning the Senator's statement that
America had overpaid her loan from
France which was negotiated
through Bearmarchais
Blames Delay on France
The Senator cited the records TO
show that the loan was entered with
this notation: "Overpaid by the United
States. 1.426,787 livres." Admitting
that there was delay in final settle
ment. Mr.. Borah declared this was
due TO the failure or inability of
Beaumarchais to render an account
on which Congress could act.
Benjamin Franklin, in 1879 and
1882, he asserted. wrote repeatedly
to Paris in an effort to get an account
Il j
any evidence that this country has
sought to dispute the amount or re
pudiate the debt.
Belgium's step to the forefront in
the debt question was announced by
Baron de Cartier the Amba ssador,
who notified Secretary Mellon that his
government soon would be ready to
initiate funding discussions.
Because of the recent political de-
velopments in Brussels 1t was be-
lieved here that Belgium would be
delayed in her negotiations and the
baron's statement yesterday came as
a surprise.
Empowered to Settle.
The Amba ssador will return to
Washington after his visit to Brussels
in June. accompanied by a corps of
financial experts, headed by former
Premier Theunis, empowered to ar
range the settlement. Belgium's debt
totals S4S0.503 .9S3.
Meanwhile, suggestions have been
made to officials here that the Gov
ernment publish "all it knows" about
the loans to other European nations
who have not Yet begun funding
plans or who have distinguished be-
tween various loans in making pay
ments. Thus far the debt question
has been left to Americas agents
abroad for presentation to the powers
concerned. and whether formal notes
will be dispatched from Washington
remains undisclosed.

CUT
IN BUDGET STUDIED
President Asks Departments
VieWs-Army Heads
Show Anxiety.

President Coolidge, in his desire 10
bring about further reductions in the
operating costs of the Federal Gov
ernment, has asked for the views Of
several OF the larger departments as
TO the practicability of a progressive
budget reduction plan TO cover
period of years, It has been learned
from official sources.
This progressive policy will not at
once be applied In the meantime a
survey of the chief spending agencies
of the Government will be made to
determine whether reasonable eff
cheney can be maintained by them
under the progressive reduction plan
and the plan for consolidated Gov
ernment buying agency.
Army Heads Anxious.
Varying views were expressed after
the confirmation at the White House
OF the Presidents intention to inquire
into the advisability of a continuing
budget cut. The proposal has aroused
anxiety at the War Department.
where some officials feel that a pro
gressive curtailment. year after year,
would result in considerable embar-
rassment of the defense program.
While the identity OF the other de-
partments where similar study is
being made has not been disclosed, 1t
was generally believed that the Navy
Department WAS included in the list.
1t appeared obvious, however. that
the President expected to gather
much additional data on the question
through figures to be submitted by
the Budget Bureau prior 10 the semi
annual budget meeting June %.
This meeting. II is expected, will
bring out the Presidents views with
regard 10 the fixed maximum beyond
which the total budget estimates for
the fiscal year beginning July !. 1926,
may not go, and his address proba bly,
will outline his ideas about the pro
gressive reduction.
