By the Associated Press, ALBANY, N. Y, April 21-—Upstate | New York and part of Massachusetts trembled to earth shocks yesterday. No serious property damage was reported The area in which the tremors were [ felt was not definitely outlined, but they seemed to center about the Albany- Schenectady-Troy area. In those cities dishes rattled on pantry shelves, pictures swayed on walls, chairs rocked by themselves and | objects skidded about on tables and| mantels. | The earthquake was officially recorded | &t the Dudley Observatory in Albany and at Canisius College in Buffalo. The | Rev. John P. Delaney, in charge of the | seismograph at the college, said that | the instrument showed it began at| 2:56:34 p.m. and Jasted about one min-| ute, Dr. Ralph E. Wilson, assistant direc- tor of the Dudley Observatory in Al- bany, said the observatory buildings were shaken for several minutes and that the windows “siook as if & heavy truck had been passing He offered the opinion that the shocks followed the St. Lawrence fault through the Hudson and Champlain | Valleys. Previous quakes have been laid to this fault. LINCOLN PARK BODY CRITICIZES GARAGE| Citizens Say District Officials Fail | to Act on Receipt of Noise Complaints. Criticizing the fallure of the District | government to act on complaints against a large garage near Twelfth and B streets northeast, the Lincoln Park Citizens’ Association last night took steps to investigate the matter. Members of the association charged that the garage was kept open all night and the noise caused many sleepless | nights for residents of the vicinity. | Reasons for the “Clean-Up Cam- | paign” of 1931, which started yesterday, were given to the association by George J. Adams of the Campaign Committee. | Co-operation was asked by Mr. Adams. Resolutions asking for improvement of Isherwood street between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets northeast and Eighteenth street between A and B | streets southeast were proposed by | Harry Kimball, chairman of Streets | and Avenues Committee. Members of | the association passed the motion which | ‘will be given to the Commissioners. ‘The association’s Bicentennial Com- mittee, consisting of Harry K. Kim- ball, Mrs. Helena Reed and George Castaugua, was appointed last night.

National Players Fine in “Coquette.” AT old Shakespearean adage, 1f you have tears, prepare to shed them now.” hung over the National Theater last The hounds of Spring, pawed their eyes, and their mankind, sat with d and borrowed p and down the lesser bowed head and p: handkerchiefs all alsles. ‘The reason for Hayes tear - wringer, d with fin- esse by Manager Cochran’s thes- pians—and su- perlatively Leneta Lane. This dark-eyed goddess, whom the fates treat- ed but so-so- last week, plung- ed into the role of the little Southern gal who loved not wisely, but too well, with a sincerity that must have disturbed even that ungrateful portion of the audience which found it necessary to chortle in the moments of sincerest grief. At that point one would willingly have seen gunmen come in and rid the theater of those throaty pests who broke forth into ill-mannered cackles as Miss Lane played one of the most poignant and most difficult of her sequences The stream of tragedy otherwise flowed a well mannered course. At the end of the second act even the scoffers had begun to reach for their handkerchiefs. And with the final curtain, and the far too speedy lighting of the lights; visible were TOw upon row of salty, tear-stained faces, busily occupied with bringing back the flush of youth from their pocketbooks. Although Mr. Abbott's and Mr. Sturges’ little piece, which is known to have been true, is not an over- skilled theatric manuscript, it still does seem to have the germs of good= ness when played by such a compe- tent cast. Miss Lane was not alone in flower last night. Daphne War- ren-Wilson, swallowing most of her English accent and appearing in the role created so devastatingly by Una Merkle, was graceful, expert and a sight to gladden the eye; Raymond Bramley, who has not made a false step as yet, was excellent as the per- sistant suitor; Forrest Orr did his best bit of the season: John War- burton, with that Floradora juvenile walk that defies interpretation, romped through the brother role with amusing results, and Burke Clarke, after a slow and overformal start, was the proud father of South- ern tradition very much as such & gentleman must have been. ‘While rumor has it that such a lawsuit as took place over the shoot- ing of Michael Jeffery, played with great restraint and dignity by Stan- ley Ridges, by an irate father actu- ally took place, the real value of this play is in the characterization of the girl as bullt up step by step and played, but for an occasional lapse, into a rather forced British vernacular, so effectively by Miss Lane. Miss Lane cried last night as we have never seen any one cry. And she didn't come up from under it smiling, either. She was really Burchell's Famous Bouquet T his superb coffee at 25c Lb.

[LOSS OF WATCH AND $50 IN HOLD-UP REPORTED Victim Says He Was Stopped by Armed Bandits on Street. Apartment Robbed. ‘Two colored men held him up at the point of & pistol at Eightenth and Wil- lard streets about 8:30 o'clock Satur- day night and took his watch and $50 in cash, Witliam Mickens, 1924 Seven- teenth stregt, told police last night. Mickens sald he was walking along the street. ‘The bandits, Mickens stated, left the vicinity in an automobile. A burglar was in the apartment of Edward K. Rouse, second floor of 2831 ‘Twenty-eighth street, about 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Entrance was gained by jimmying the door, police were told, and property valued at $30 stolen. Benjamin E.

Condemnation proceedings for the acquisition of the adjoining lot were in progress, but had not been concluded when the site was turned over to the contractors after a delay of 30 days from the time the builders were ready to start construction, it was brought out in the testimony before the auditor. ‘The and damages sustained by the plaintiffs as a result of the failure to give possession of the adjacent lot is placed by the auditor mt $2,840.81; loss from discrepancies in plans and specifications, $1,413; month’s delay and incidental expense, $1,530, and extra —if you delay longer ¢ you may be ‘shut out’ A Brand NEW CAB cabs for.
