BILL FOR V|ADUCT
GIVEN z|HLMAN
Asks Structure Be Erected
on Michigan Avenue to
Eliminate Hazard.

Construction of a viaduct and ap-
proaches to carry Michigan avenue
over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
tracks between Ninth and Tenth
streets northeast is proposed in a
bill which Chairman Zihlman of the
House District committee will intro
duce at the request of the District
Commissioners.
The bin authorizes an appropria-
ton of $275. 600, payable in like man
ner as other appropriations for the
expenses of the government OF the
District of Columbia, and provides
that one-half the total cost of con-
Structing the viaduct and approaches
III the line Of Michigan avenue shall
he paid by the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Co, which amount will be
deposited in the Treasury of the
United States to the credit of the
District of Columbia. 1t is also pro-
Vided that the railroad company shall
pay for the lighting of the Viaduct,
and that no street railway company
shall use the viaduct, or any of its
approaches, for its tracks until a
sum equal to one fourth of the cost
Of the viaduct and approaches shall
have been deposited to the credit of
the District OF Columbia.
Portions of Michigan avenue neces-
Sary 10 the structural plan must be-
come public so that the avenue may
be widened to its full intended width
for at least the length of the struC-
ture The bill would authorize the
Commissioners to acquire the neces-
sary land out of the appropriation au-
thorized, and that in the event con-
domination proceedings are necessary,
not less than one-half of the total cost
Of the land required for the widening
Of Michigan avenue shall be assessed
as benefits to be covered into the
Treasury of the United States to the
CT edit of the District OF Columbia.
The desirability of eliminating the
existing dangerous grade crossings in
the District as rapidly as possible is
manifest, and the proposed bill is the
second step in this direction, Congress
having authorized the Commissioners
To construct a subway and approaches
10 carry Van Buren, street under the
tracks of the Il. * O. in order thai

LIKE HAWAIIAN WAVES.

The ocean phenomenon witnessed to-

duplicate Of the series of tidal waves
following a subsistence of the Pacific
Ocean. which swept the beaches of the
Hawaiian Island in February. 1928.
Two persons were killed, a child
swept from a smpan in Hilo Harbor
and Japanese fisherman was decapi-
lated when caught between his bob

trestle over Hilo River. Damage from
The disturbance was estimated at
100000.
During the subsistence and the sub
sequent thrush of the ocean into the

but fioated off with the thrush of
water. The Standard OIL tanker Doane
was carried toward a reef from It's
anchorage by the rush Of the ocean
and then carried back TO safety by
The recession. Residents Of Hilo,
frightened at the phenomenon, pack
ed their belongings and trudged to-
ward the highlands.
Although the vocanic crater Of
Ualemaunau at kilauea remained, in
active during the disturbance, the vol
Cano observatory recorded several
earth shocks estimated to have been
between 1000 and 5000 miles away
from the islands. They We're the heav-
Jest shocks ever recorded on the sells

Volcanologists said that the phenom-
enon was the result of a suboceanic
earthquake which apparently opened
a. crack in the Pacific's floor. Into
this the waters were sucked and then
thrown back, causing the entire sur
face to recede for hundreds Of miles
and then resume its usual height with

The belief that the tidal wave az

afternoon was local In chara cter was
confirmed by inquiries along the coast,
particularly in the vicinity of Mount
Desert Island, of which they are a
part.
AS far as could be learned. nothing
in the nature of this phenomenon has
occurred on the Maine coast for more
Than d score of years, and probably
not for much longer period.
Dam Break May Be Cause.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. January Up.
A so-called tidal wave" at South
vest Harbor, Me, was entirely local in
character and may have been caused
10y the breaking of a dam of ice at the
mouth of the harbor. Prof. kirtley f.
AIather, dean of the observatory at
Harvard University. said today.
Prof. Mather said the university seis-
nograph showed no record of any
earth disturbance. He believed il pos
sible that the outgoing tide had car
l'ied enough ice with it to form a dam
at the head of the ragged inlet which
forms the harbor, and that the incom
ing tide had broken this dam and
caused the sudden thrush of water.
