The shocks continued for two and a half hours after the first registration. Prof. Torndorf said it was impossible to give any directional estimates as to the quake's center.

THE EVENING STAR,” WASHINGTON,” D.” C..” TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6 1928 COLORED MAN ACCUSED OF HANDLING LIQUOR One-Legged Driver Arrested on Charge of Transporting Four Half-Gallon Jars. Accused of using his ice wagon for transportation of liquor, David Glover, one-legged colored man, was arrested by police of the fourth precinct yesterday and held for the action of Police Court, following his arraignment before United States Commissioner Needham C. Turn- age. Policemen Curtis and Barrett claim they saw the man carry a large pack- age from a house near Second and F streets southwest. The package look- ed strange on a wagon marked “ice,” so the officers approached Glover. The man attempted to escape, but the offi- cers halted the vehicle within the block. The package was found to con= tain four half-gallon jars of alleged liquor, resulting in charges of illegal transportation and possession. Now police of the fourth precinct have the same problem which a few weeks ago confronted those at No. 6— what to do with a horse and wagon, confiscated by order of Commissioner Turnage.
