SEW YORK. Feb. 1. By the Asso
ciated Vress ) The huge "fault" in
the earth's crust, which first occurred
beneath San Francisco bay, the me
morable catastrophe of 1906. has be
come a few hundred miles longer.
This was the explanation today of
Ir. Chester A. Reeds, professor of
geology and aeismographic observer
at the American Museum of Natural
History, for the rioleot tremors of
the earth, which yesterday demoral
ized seismographs throughout Amer
ica and had scientists "suesaing" as
to their origin.
"The earthquake took place at
point beneath the bed of the Pacific
ocean about ZaO miles west or fort
land. Or., and was an earth move
ment, a slipping, along the fault
plane known as the San Andreas rift,"
aa.d Dr. Reeds.
Prior Shocks Recalled.
In 190 there was a remarkable
earthquake caused by shifting along
this plane, along the California coast
from San Francisco to Cape Mendo
cino, in a northwesterly course. It
was a further slipping along this
fault which caused the remarkable
tremors of January 31, 1922.
The earthquake of 1906. said Dr.
Reeds. Was the first breach of the
earths crust beneath San Francisco,
l.i ke a cracked window pane, he said,
the "fault" is spreading in each direc
tittt, until bow it extends from south
ern California, northwestward be
neath San Francisco, along the coast
Until It passes beneath the Pacific
The seismograph at the American
Museum was one of the few In
America to withstand the terrific
shocks which occurred for nearly
three hours yesterday.
Record Is Remarkable.
Of the record made by the wavering
needle. Dr. Heeds said "it was the
most remarkable we have ever seen "
HOXOLIXC, T. H.. Jan. Jl. The
I'nited States magnetic observatory
nt Ewa. on this Island, registered an
earthquake of such violent Intensity
early this morning that the observer
was unable to locate either the direc
tion of the temblor or its approxi
mate distance from this point. The
seismograph Indicated that the earth
movement started at 2:35 A. M., and
reached its maximum at 3:10 A. M.,
continuing for more than two hours.
There is a difference of 2 hours
'and 30 minutes between Honolulu
time and l'aelfio Coast time, which
would place the period of registration
of the temblors at Ewa yesterday
morning at approximately the same
Vrne as the earth movement was re
corded at different observatories on
the mainland of the United States.

land must resort to a pickup coaching
system. Mr. ewill declared. The pos

bers of the board agreed. The matter
was referred to the education com
mittee for consideration.
Eleven firms entered bids for sup
plying wood to the Portland schools.
Prices quoted ranged from 36.40 a
cord to. $7.50. with a large majority
cf the bidders bidding only on a few
of the schools. The Alblna Fuel com
pany entered a Blanket bid of 36.40
a cord to supply all the wood of all
the schools. The Edlefsen Fuel com
pany quoted 34. 50 a cord on slabwood
to specified schools. The bids were re
ferred to the properties committee
fcr investigation.
Bids were also opened for wiring
and light fixtures in rooms of a num
ber of schools, approximating; 31100

The removal of the boilers and the
remodeling of the basement of the

the properties committee. The work
is estimated to cost 314,600. The
heating system will be transferred to
a amall outside building, giving addi
tional basement room for class rooms
and removing the menace of high
pressure boilers under the building. i
Superintendent Grout announced
that the high schools are caring for
1000 more pupils than a week ago
without an additional teacher. The

Remark Drawn Fire.
The remark, aimed directly at Di
rector Eisman. drew the reply from
Mr. Eisman that he was ready to con
sider the matter of change on a busi
ness basis of a saving in dollars and

rnent that a change was favored by
the properties committee. .
The question was temporarily dis
posed of by authorizing Captain Ed

The dance question was renewed,
temporarily, by the introduction of a
letter from F. E. Jackson, chairman
ft the committee appointed by the
(ilencoe Parent-Teacher association to
supervise dances at the Glencoe
swhool. By motion of the board it will
be re-read at the dance investigation
jnet'ting tonight.
Mr. Jackson said that all dances at
the Ulencoe school were supervised by
a committee of 12 men selected by
Mm. Charges made by Ir. Charles
MucOaughey that the dances con
ducted at the school were grade school
d.inces were absolutely false, accord
ing to a statement of the letter, which
went on to say that the dances have
leen attended by from 225 to 250 high
school students with 25 or 30 parents
In attendance and four or mere mem
bers of the committee at the audito
rium. Also a woman is kept on duty
in the girls cloak room and someone
Is stationed at the door to see that no
one leaves except to go home or no
ne enters who should not be in the
school, the letter declared.

Allegations of Dr. McCaughey that
the school dance Is the only place In
the city where the worst rogue can
meet the best young girl In the city
socially if he has 25 cents were with
out foundation, the letter said. The
admission to the dances is confined
aolely to young people of high school
and their parents, it said. No
men of mature ase. other than a par
ent, would be allowed upon the floor,
it was pointed out. and If Dr. Mc
Caughey himself attempted to dance
upon the floor he would not be per
mitted to. No grammar school chil
dren are admitted except with their
parents.
"Jazz dancing or rough dancing, I
romping or loud talking are not per
mitted in the huil.lini at any time
Uuring the evening." the letter con
tinued, and went on to say: "A week
ao I asked the young people who
were in attendance at the dance what
they would do if the board should
close the auditorium. The reply was,
"Find some other place to dance.'
Better IMaa Akr4 For.
"Now. gentlemen, consider well be
fore you close the school auditorium
to the young people. It will force
them to go to a public dance, which
has no protection whnfvi If thorn
Is anyone who will visit these dances !
and tell us of a better way to super

The letter was dated December 31.

miles north of Amboy. who was ar
rested several months ago for refus'
ing to send his three children to
school, was fined 18 with costs by

be dealt with so lightly as the first.
District of Colombia Officials Are
Blamed for Approving Cheap
Cons traction.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1. Bad engi
neering, coupled with cheap and faulty
construction, was held responsible for
the collapse of the roof of the Knick
erbocker theater and the resultant
loss of nearly 100 Uvea, by Senator
capper or .Kansas, in a statement is
sued today after an investigation of
the ruins of the ill-fated structure.
Senator Capper, who as a member
of the senate District of Columbia
committee Introduced, a resolution
providing for senate investigation of
the disaster, was accompanied in his
inspeotion of the scene by Senators
Jones, Washington; Gooding, Idaho,
and Sheppard, Texas, all members of
the district committee, and Represent
ative Upshaw of Georgia, whose niece.
Miss Caroline Upshaw, was injured in
the collapse.
Officials Are Blamed.
The Kansas senator said District of
Columbia officials who approved the
plana for such construction as was
used In the Knickerbocker were re
sponsible to a large extent for
the collapse of the building.
"Government engineers on the ground
told me." said Senator Capper's state
ment, "that none of the. bearings of
trusses or beams on the walls were
anchored or fastened to the falls,
which, in my Judgment, was a funda
mental error in such construction, be
cause any unusual disturbing cause
might gradually slip the beams from
their support."
Coincident with Senator Capper's
statement the American Association
of Engineers Issued a statement in
which it declared the disaster "was
evidently due either to faulty design
or construction which would not have
existed had licensed engineers or ar
chitects supervised the work."
.Coadoleaeee Are Received.
The association has a committee In
vestigating the collapse.
Three more messages of condolence
from diplomatic representatives of
foreign governments here were re
ceived today by Secretary Hughes.
The expressions of sympathy came

Have You Ever
Heard of the Disease
"Salesology"?
It is most prevalent when
business is dull and mer
chants need money.
This usually occurs dur
in the first two months each
year and again during the
dog days.
It is a mercantile ailment
we corrected in our business
many years ago.
We administered the rem
edy by fixing our prices at
fair and just figures in the
beginning, thus eliminating
dull periods in our business
and making it unnecessary to
reduce prices in order that
our stores might continue to
attract customers.
The wisdom of this policy
is attested by the growth of '
our business from one store
in 1902 to 312 stores in 1922.
