What was designated by J. W. Dan
lelB. professor at the Hill Military
academy, as a slight temblor, Jarred
the city just after 3 o'clock yesterday
morning.
This visitation was said to have
been lighter than the one which
was recorded here about a month
ago and which was felt at that time
by many people. -"
Professor Daniels, who was awak
ened, says that such visitations are
caused by the heated condition of the
earth's interior, the pressure -rising
to a point which results in a jar to
the outer crust.
Temblor Not Dangerous.
These disturbances are known as
temblors, not earthquakes, and are of
little consequence." explained Pro
fessor Daniels. "This one was very
Blight, although it awakened me.
There was not to excee'd two seconds
of tremor and it was eo slight It did
not even rattle dishes in my Iiome. as
did the last one before it.
'e noi oi irequent oc
currence here, this being the second
one to visit Portland in my 13 years
of residence here. However, they may
occur anywhere at any time, and are
not serious. They are more likely to
happen In mountainous regions. They
are not the result of earth contrac
tion, but result from internal fires.
Temblors have no relationship what
ever to earthquakes."
Seismograph Is Wanted.
H. L. Bettman. wht has offices in
the Tllford building and who was at
one time attached to the University qf
the Pacific at San Jose, CaJ.i' was
among those who ielt the temblor,
t Mr. Bettman is anxious, to have a
i eismoeranh 1nKlnllri In u.
said one could be put in for a cost not
to exceed S2500, and that he was
willing to start a subscription with
$25. He believes this state should
have one. There are many in Cali
fornia and at least one in Washlrrg
ton. he says.
People in the Claypool apartments.
Eleventh and Clay streets, were
awakened by the jar and, judging
from telephone calls to The Orego
nian from various points in the city.
It was felt generally throughout Port
land, more particularly, it Is believed,
by. those who have been through such
experiences and are quick to realize
the nature of the disturbance.

WASHINGTON, X. 'C-- Nov.
Picking of cabinet possibilities is en
tered upouwiih some difference. The
cahinet is' a matter completely within
Mr. Harding's control and discretion.
Nothing . authoritatively can possibly
be said without a knowledge of his
mind and a knowledge of his mind is
exactly what nobody is authorized to
convey. ' . ' s- "
It istrue. of course, that cabinet
appointments, like all others, are sub
ject to' at least perfunctory confirma
tion by the senate. So that it is le
gitimate for senators to discuss the
possibilities, and for newspaper men
to reDort what senators say on the
subject. It Is also true that repub
lican leaders have the interest in cab
inet appointments which goes with,
their responsibilities as party leaders,
but this also is an extremely tenuous
excuse for attaching great weight to
what party leaders say and feeL
Nevertheless, th'e fact is that re
publican 3: senators and republican
party leaders do discuss cabinet possi
bilities more than almost anything
else.. To a good deal of this discus
sion I have listened and what is here
set down is , confined exclusively to
what is said by 'these senators and
leaders.

Nothing that is known to be or
guessed to be in Senator Harding's

GENEVA, Nov. 28. Unless the as
sembly overrules the findings of its
committee which, since all the dele
gations are represented on it, is most
unlikely there will be no amendment
to the league of nations covenant at
the present session of the assembly.
In other words, nothing will be done
till Harding enters the White House
and expresses in official and concrete
form his attitude toward the league.
That is the nurnort of a vaerue an
nouncement tonight treating of yes- i
terday's secret meeting of the com
mittee on general organization. It
was at the suggestion of Arthur J.
Balfour, chief British delegate, that
the move to amend the covenant in
augurated by the Scandinavian states
and apparently supported by South
America was suppressed. Balfour
plpeaded that the present was not a
good time, with the league in its in
fancy, to Institute changes in Its

"An orgy of outrage and destruc

timber yards here. Several fireB were
burning at once, necessitating a call
for the assistance of outlying- fire

a policeman, pulled a revolver and
shot the policeman dead. The man

shortly before 9 o'clock. Fires broke
out simultaneously .both in the south
and north ends of Liverpool and also
in Uootle.
"There were seven fires in Bootle
and 11 in various parts of Liverpool.
'Subsequent discoveries revealed a
well-planned Sinn Fein plot to spread
a holocaust of fire among the ware
houses in the dock area. The fires
were spread over almost all of the
whole seven miles of the dock area.".
"Owing to the Inflammable nature
of the contents of the warehouses, the
flames quickly gained a strong hold.

dents, added: '

the English people, even If the per
sonnel of the murderers is not the
same." ,
