Rochester, Syracuse, New York city, and small- CT places. Communications were dis- rupted in many sections and minor fires broke out in cities and towns.

Police cars raced through the streets ail- swering panicky alarms that build ings were collapsing. From the emo- tional chaos of the first few minutes, calm emerged and careful checks showed no deaths and no injuries.
 All of metropolitan Boston was rocked and the temblors seemed most severe along the water front. Guests in the Statler hotel were awakened and swamped the desk clerks with inquiries. The night clerk in the Finegate hotel was thrown out of his chair. At Boston City hospital patients became panic stricken and two nurses fainted.
 The tembior was felt distinctly along an east to west line across Massachusetts, including Worcester and Springfield, and less severely elsewhere, though Providence, Maf- chester, Vermont and Portland, Me-, felt severe shocks. The shocks ap- parently were not felt north of Portland and the temblors in New Haven and other Connecticut cities were reported as slight.

The temblors were not felt in midtown Manhattan buildings, but in the Pulitzer building, near the East river, windows shook and night workers grabbed their chairs to keep from being thrown to the floor.
 Tenement Houses Evacuated
 Brooklyn police evacuated the oc- cupants of several tenement houses and did not permit residents of three to return until the walls had been shored.
 Throughout the crowded borough. men and women ran into the streets in night clothing. The United Press New York bureau was swamped with calls from the borough in the 10 minutes following the first quake. One girl, occupant of 14th floor apartment house, said she was thrown out of bed and, just as she got to her feet, 8 bookcase was thrown over onto her.
