HEAYY EARTHQUAKE FELT Seismographs at Georgetown Univer- sity Record Shocks Which Were Probably Along the Mediterranean. Washington, June 13.—A heavy earthquake lasting almost an hour .‘and a half was recorded this morn- ing. on: selsmographs at Georgetown university. The shocks were first re- soorded .at 3:07 a. m. and reached their imum between 2:48 and 2:62 o'clock. Their intensity was pronounced in that period. . The \‘quaking continued until 3:32 a. m. Experts were unable to determine definitely where the center of dis- . turbance was located but judged it was considerable distance from Wash- ington. They believed it not unlikely that it might have been somewhere along the Mediterranean. ‘Barth: shocks have been occurring with frequency since the beginning of this month. The seismographs have recorded almost continuous activity, very siight generally. There have Peen pronounced earthquakes, in- cluding one in Salvador and that in }.uly last Monday. 4 v b e ‘Washington, ' une 13.—Pooling of newsprint paper production and ima| bw . tsed Allles’ O portation under a government agenoy, g i for distribution to newspapers at a price providing a fair profit to manu~ year. It also ernment seek to induce Canadian au- thorities to establish a aimilar agency to co-operate with the American pool, In a letter transmitting the report gency legislation to make the recom- mendations effective. It declared that if the 1916 consumption of 1,771,000 tons of print paper is equalled this $1065,000,000, an increase of $35,000,- 000, or fifty per cent over 1916, and. news print industry expeditiously and to arbitrate and effectively project a fair price for newsprint paper have falled. . The plan failed for several under such arbitration agreement. The resuit has been the news print paper situation is ‘'very serious, not anly to the consumers of paper but to the public generally and to the gov- months. The demand for news print paper is constantly - ‘increasing and gives promise of still greater increase with the continuance of the war. The supply of news print paper available .to] meet this demand is dependent upon mills already in existence. *“It seems probable, therefore, that with the demand for news print paper increasing and the supply remaining constant or possibly diminishing there will be a repetition of the panic mar- ket of last year and the exaction of prices that are entirely out of measure with the cost of production. The consequences to thousands of smaller newspapers and to many of the larger ones, and, through them, to the read- ing public, will be most serious. Remedy Recommended “By reason of this condition and be- cause of the vital interest to the public of an efficlent dissemination of news in this crisis, the commission recom- mends &8 & War emergency measure that campeisn by appropriate legis- lation provide: “1,—That all mills producing and all agencies -distributing. print paper and chemical pulp in the Unitel States be operated on government account; that these products be pooled in the hands of a government agency and equl'.,bly distributed at a price based upon‘cost of production and distribu- tion, plus & fair profit per ton. “3—That pursuant thereto, some federal agency be empowered and di- rected to assume the supervision and control thereof during the pendency of the war. “3—That, by reason of the fact that approximately 76 per cent of the pro- duction of newsprint paper in Canada comes into the United States, proper action be taken to secure the co-op- eration of’the Canadian government in the creation of a similar govern- mmental agency for the. same function, which shall -be clothed with power and authority to act jointly with the gov- ernmental agency of the United States for the protection of the consumers and manufacturers of print paper and the public of the United States and Canada. 2 *4—That In case the Canadidn gov- ernment shall not join in such a co- operative enterprise then importation of paper and pulp into the United States shall be made only on govern- ment account to or through the fed- eral agency charged with such super- vision and distribution. “In this connection the commission desires to point out that such a plap ¢ontemplates the operation of mills under their present management and the use of the present distributing | i (Continued on Twelfth Page.)

E MAN MAY DIE AFTER GYCLE CRASH Orville Ventres - Smashes Into Tree at Arch St. and Webster Hill. Lost control or ignorance relative to the proper handling of speed-gov- erning mechanism resulted in serious injuries, likely to result fatally, about the head to Private Orville Ven- tres of Co. E, First Connecticut In- fantry, well known in the sporting world as a wrestler, at Webater Hill and Arch street, this forenoon when a motorcycle ridden by him collided with a dog, beheaded the animal and hurled Ventres over the handle bars into a nearby tree. Ventres struck with such force as to graze a con- siderable amount of bark and scatter it in the gutter. Suffering from a fractured nose, fracture aof the upper Jaw Dbone, probably fractured skull and multiple lacerations, as well as general shock, Ventres was hurriedly transferred to the surgical ward of New Britain General hospital in an automobile furnished by C. J: Dehm, who happened to be in the vicinity. Dr. C, M. Cooley has charge of the case. Extent of injuries have ° not been definitely ascertained. According to the story told the po- llice by witnesses, Ventres was noted coming south on Arch street at a high speed, having borrowed a motorcycle owned by Lieut. A. J. Griffin, com- manding officer of Company E. At- tempting to ‘turn into Webster Hill, according to indications, the 'speed was so excessive that it swerved, hit a dog that was causing the street and caused Ventres to hurtle through the air into the trunk of a tree. Just after the removal of the victim to the hospital the police ambulance arrived, on emérgency call, in charge of Chauffeur Matthias Rival and Po- licemen Thomas Storey and Frank R. Hahn.
