Something happened down In Los An geles last night between 7:30 and 8 o'clock. It Is pretty generally conced ed .that window panes were broken, ceilings were cracked and dishes tossed about. It had to be explained some how. The winter tourist crop had been light and nothing is more nervous than capital flnless it be tourists. Ha!

Jan. 11 (I. N. S.) The firing of heavy guns on four big battleships of the Pacific fleet In the Santa Catalina channel off Kan Tedro last night caused alight vibrations to be felt as far north as Santa Barbara, as far in land as Riverside and as far south as Ran Diego. Many persons In the Inland cities telephoned to Los Angeles in the belief that the tremors may have been slight earthquakes. A checking of the time all the vibrations were reported showed they corresponded exactly with the local vibrations due to the naval gun practice. That would have been fine had not IN PART U. S.

Father Kicard today completed his computations of the earth disturb ance recorded Monday night. He said the center of the quake, which was described as "severe," was 1830 kilometers southwest, placing it in tne ocean near the Tropic of Cancer. Something was wrong with the oub- licity system, however. It began to function pretty well in the larger cities by 9 or 9:30 this morning, but those rube small towns insisted on sending in items like thecfollowing: Riverside, CaL, Jan. 18. (U. P.)

San Bernardino. Cal., Jan. 18. (U, P.) A series of minor disturbances was felt along the San Andreas fault line, running through the hills north of San Bernardino last night. Win dows and doors at the Southern Cal ifornia state hospital were jarred and rattled, as were other structures in the city itself. No damage was done. Along toward noon, however, things brightened up perceptibly and the same bureau manager who at 8 o'clock fell into grievous error and admitted only small caliber anti-aircraft guns had Three of Hughes' Proposals for Making Broader Historic Open Door Policy Are Formally Ap proved by Far East Committee.
