What Happened

How did happen that peaceovng America drfted closer
and closer and finally plunged into the boodest most
destructive of all time leaving the bones of thousands
of her finest manhood to bleach foreign shores three thou
sand miles away and staggering burden of debt for her u
ture generations?

 Tets not call it murder. Rather let's call it revenge against so-
 ciety."
 Lifting his bushy eyebrows, the doctor directed a curious gaze at Carlyle.
 Suddenly the pupils of Car1yle's eyes began to dilate, a palior spread over his face and, gasping for breath, he staggered to the couch and spraw1ed across it. Carlyle, come out of it,' des- perately pleaded Dr Nolan. Tt was only Q harmless experiment. That injection was nothing but pure water. Oh, why did allow this!" The two doctors hastily straight- | ened Carlyle out on the couch. His breath was coming in periodic gasps, his pulse weak and irregu-l
 lar. pr Nolan administered a powerful restorative. Its effect was only temporary and the patient l speedily grew worse. Soon his breathing ceased, his pulse was
 still. The man was dead beyond
 a doubt.

 "My God,, what can I dol" he
 gasped frantically. "We are murvs

Shortly after midnight, while 1 the morgue attendant was across l the street for a cup of coffee, form arose from marble slab and quietly made its way among the rows of corpses to the rear of the building, where it climbed through a window and dropped to the ground in a deserted alley. A professionalism gentle
 man appeared from a nearby shed
 and whispered gleefully, There you are at last, Carlyle, old chap. I'd begun to fear I'd made the dose too strong and hoisted my old
 sidekick over the divide. You see. I had to prepare the solution all most under the nose of Dr Nolan But it worked, my boy, and your acting was superb. How're you | feeling?"
 "Rotten, thanks, pr Mike" re- piled Carlyle as they gripped hands. "As soon as you came in I felt you had something up your sleeve. I couldn't even guess

 Court fans nudged each other and remarked about the iron nerve of the prisoner. The pros- ecuting attorney mopped his face and cursed under his breath. All his savage hammering had failed to wipe the whimsical smile from Henry Carlyle's face. Carlylc's counsel pointed to this unbroken boise as evidence of his clients in- nocence.
 Carlyle had been arrested near the scene of murder. The evi- dence was circumstantial. The ver- dict surprised even the prosecuting attorney. Without betraying the slightest change of expression Carlyle heard himself sentenced to life Imprisonment.
 An interested observer at the trial was a looking gentleman who came early each day and found seat near the rail. He wore the pointed beard and mustache affected by certain professional men, and his cards bore the name Michael Dennis, MD, Ph.D.-Psychologist.
 Late in the afternoon of the first day of Carlyle's incarceration Dr Nolan, the prison physician, re- ceived a call from Dr Dennis. They talked shop, of course.
 q insist" said Dr Dennis, "that the power of mind over matter is so great that the most hard boiled t,Av- &A ~.H readily succumb to mental sugges- tion. I will go so far as to state that he can even be deprived of his life by this means"
 Ridiculous" heatedly exclaimed Dr Nolan. T admit such thing might be remotely possible with a weak, emotional subject, but I have in mind a man who would not be even slightly affected. I refer to a man received here to- day under life sentence. Having read of his wonderful boise during his trial, am interested in the man from purely scientific angle. The name is Carlyle; you may have read something of his trial in the papers"
 Indeed I did, Dr Nolan. Shall we make a test on him?"
 "Out of the question, doctor"
 "But, my dear doctor" urged Dennis, according to your own arguments there should be no bad results. As to the method I sug- gest that we inject small amount of distilled water into this mans arm on some pretext or other, then tell him it was poison that will bring fatal results within thirty minutes and note his reactions. If he should appear to succumb we

can ease his mind by telling him the fruth.n
 After some further argument Dr
 Nolan reluctantly consented and they prepared the hypodermic. Carlyle looked up indifferenfly as they entered the cell, but
 showed a slight flicker of interest 1 as his eyes rested on Dr Dennis. "Carlyle,s said pr Nolan, kindly,
 this is friend I've brought along
 to help cheer you up. Please bare
 your arm and I'll give you . shot
 of something that'll steady your nerves"
 Don't need anything like that, doctor," replied Carlyle, s'but you've been a good scout. Go ahead if it'll give you pleasure" He barred his arm.
 After a few minutes of desul- tory conversation Dr. Nolan sud-
 denly looked at Carlyle and said,
 My boy, you must prepare your self for a shock. That hypoder-
 mic contained a poison that is in- variably fatal within thirty min-
 utes. Aren't you beginning to feel
 it's effect?"
 "what!" exclaimed Carlyle. You'd murder me in cold b1oodvv He leaped to his feet, his wonted boise shattered.

LAID
TO faults
IN EARTH

ALBANY, Nov. 1 G.N.SJ.-How
State capital scientists explain
the earthquake which last night
shook a large section of the East
ern Seaboard:
DR.. D. H. Newland, State geolo.
gist:
This mornings shocks may
have been due to any of the many
faults in this section. These are
Logan's Fault tending
throughout the Appalachian
Mountains; several on the east
side of the Adirondacks, and
others along Lake Champlain and
Lake George.
The origin goes back millions
Of years when the earth was first
forming. Rocks then thrown into
position by various means did not
dovetail. AS the ages pass they
begin to slip and from time to
time occasion the quakes. Most
of the heavy shocks. of course,
are in the West, in the Orient and
the Mediterranean. The eastern
section of our country is gener-
ally thought 'seismographically
proof so far as serious quakes
are concerned.
"Today's quake had no con-
nection with those shaking Mon
tana."
DR.. Benjamin Boss, director of
Dudley Observatory:
The quake, continuing for 81
seconds, was quite heavy for this
section. We attribute it to ancient
fiSsures extending through most
of upstate New York. 1t was SINH
lar to one experienced in this
State about IL years ago, the
reason goes back to when the
earth was first forming"
Both DR.. Boss and DR.. Newland
agree there is little danger of i'm
mediate recurrence of the quakes.

DANCE DENIED
BY RUTLAND

Health Officer DR.. George C.
Rutland issued a warning today
to the Capitals citizenry against
purchasing tickets for a dance
for the benefit of the drive against
tuberculosis in this city.
In giving the public warning,
DR.. Rutland cited one case in
which a woman was solicited to
purchase tickets under the pre-
tense she would be aiding the
fight against the white plague" I"
When she received the tickets, she
found the dance was for the bene-
fit of a gland clinic.
DR.. Ruhland said there is no
dance nor benefit Of any kind
scheduled or being contemplated
for aiding the fight against tuber-
culoSiS.

AVANTS SEEK
TOF|NDCENTER
OF QUAKE

Scientists were checking their
instruments today in an attempt
to find the center of the three
earthquake shocks which rocked
the East early today.
They predicted that more
shocks would follow, but with
little If any effect here.
At Georgetown University, the
Rev. Frederick w. Sohon, S. j.,
head of the chronological depart
ment and noted physicist, was
studying his Seismograph, while
at the Bureau of Coast and Geo
detic Survey Capt. Nicholas Heck,
chief of the division of terrestrial
magnetism and SeiSmology, was
preparing to take instruments to
the quake center If it can be To-
Gated.
Both scientists said local quakes
would probably follow today In
the vicinity of the center.
May Center in N. Y.
Father Sohon believes t n e
quake may center in New York
State, and pointed out that it is
similar to one five years ago,
which centered at Attica, N. Y.
The new quakes were more in
tense than those of five years
ago. he said.
Captain Heck said that from
the data he has received the quake
may be centered in Canada. II q
final survey reveals a New York
center, strong motion" inStru-
ment will be rushed there to OBJ
tain additional data, he revealed.
Father Sohon was in conference
with DR.. John A. Fleming. direc-
tor of the Carnegie Institution
division of Terrestrial Magnetism,
today relative to next years pro-
gram for the American Geophysi-
cal Society. Following the confer
ence he returned to his inStru-
ments at the university.
DR.. Fleming pointed out that
the only seiSmograph station oper-
ated by the Carnegie Institution
is in Peru, and that so far no re-
port has been received from there
to indicate that the quakes have
been felt in that part of the world.
Three Shocks Felt
"'The first distinct Sh ok, !"
Father Sohon said, was felt here
at los o'clock this morning. Our
instruments did not show a dis
tinct repetition until ITO. Be
tween these times there were
slight tremorS but not sufficient
to be felt by the layman.
"Our Seismographs showed that
the tremors tapered off from
1:10 until about o'clock. Then
they gathered strength once
more and reached the third peak
at 2:40 o'clock.
Father Sohon explained that
the shock felt here had its cen
ter in upper New York, about
600 miles from Washington.
THE last shock" the priest
continued, followed less than IL
hours after shocks which oc-
Cured from 1:43 to 3 p. m. yes
terday in Montana when the dis
tance was registered at between
l,70O and 1000 miles"
There were no a d diti IN a l
shocks recorded in Washington
up to 8 o'clock this morning,
Father Sohon, said.
