LOUIS Only One Fatality Recorded—Laborer at Binghamton Killed by Caving Ip of Trench—Some Chimneys Fell. New York, Feb. 10.—An earthquake lasting from 15 to 30 seconds and dis- turbing particularly what are geolog- fcally known as the Devonlan and Si- lurian sections of the northeastern parts of the United States, took place shortly after 1.30 o'clock this after- noon, being especlally severs in the central and northern parts of New York state. Virtually all of New Yerk state, including this city, felt the shock, and New Nngland generaly, lower eastern Canada and parts of New Jer- sey and eastern Pennsylvania were shaken. Tremors were recorded as far south as Washington and as far west as St, Louls. At Albany, in this state, the shock was severe enongh to shake pictures from the walls of the capitol, while at Binghamton a laborer, Rocco Parse, was killed by the caving in of a trench in which he was working. Several Chimneys Fell. At Fort Plain the heavy doors of & bank vault shook under the influence of the quake, and from other parts of the state the falling of chimneys, swaying of houses and destruction of fragile objects was reported. In New York city the preliminary tremor was felt at 1.35.15. At 1.35.45 the shock had reached its maximum of intensity, and at 1.37.30 the movement subsided altogether, makng the total of duration of the ‘quake two and one- quarter minutes, as given by the seismograph. The perfod in which the shock was perceptible by man was from ten to thirty seconds and started in a majority of cases about 1.34 So far as known the movement was from northwest to southeast, with the boundary lines of the territory affect- ed converging at a point in the At- hntixc. Movement at 1.35 p. m. The initial movement of the quake occurred mear the upper Atlantic sea- board at 1.35 a. m. and extended to places in the mnorthern parts of New York state about three minutes later, reaching Albany at 1.38, Watertown at 1.39, and Rochester at ;1.37. From points located between these cities the movement is reported to have taken place between 't:lh:a 1.35: No seismograph recor g obtainable from these localities, the time given in these deals wigx th emoment ‘when the Was i Points in central Massachusetts, among them Springfleld and Worcester, report the disturbance to have occur- red. shortly before the time recorded by the seismograph of the Museum of Natural History of New York. At Philadelphia thé shock was felt at 1.33, and Georgetown university, Washing- ton, D. C., reports that its seismograph marked the first tremor at 11.41 this morning, recordiug the actual shock at 1.34. The seismograph of the Harvard Geological Observatory, Cambridge, Mass.,, recorded the first tremor at 1.33.25, and marked total subsidence of the disturbance at 1.45.35, overlapping both in fnitial movement and end of the quake the records taken in New York city. Slight Disturbanoe for 24 Hours. Accerding to Dr. Edmund O'Hovey, curator of geology of the American Museum of Natural History, the char- acter of the record left by the seismo- graph in his institution shows that the movement of the quake was mnot at- tended by great lateral oscillations. Slight tremors were registered by his instrument yesterday, and throughout the last 24 hours light disturbances were recorded by it, their general char- acter Indicating the movement was slight and entirely local. The last earthquake registered by the selsmograph of the American Mu- seum took place on Nov. 8, 1913, and occurred in Alaska. Vibrations then recorded were twice as marked as those made tonight. No local seismic disturbance comparable in magnitude with the one recorded today can be re- called by the attaches of the museum. The last earthquake felt in New York was the tremors from the Charleston, 8. C., disturbance in 1836. In 1384 a general disturbance took place over the greater part of the area affected to- day. 2 8light Tremor Felt in Skyscrapers. According to James S. Kemp, head of the department of geology of Co- Jumbia_university, the movement to- day followed in_northern New York the line of the Champlain fault, while in Canada it may have traveled along the Logan fault, both of them huge fissures in the strata of the older rock masses and themselves the products of earthquakes. The only part of Greater New York which felt the effect of the earthjuake shock sufficiently to alarm the popu- lace was the Heights section of Brook- Iyn, where those who had sensed the shock were under the impression that an explosion had occurred. In mauny of the tall office bufldings of Manhattan a slight tremor was felt, but the disturb- ance was not great enough to cause the least excltement. IN CONNECTICUT, Shock Felt Particularly in Southe and Western Sections. New Haven, Conn., Feb, shocks of varying intensity were felt through a large part of Connecticut today. espeecially in the southern and western section, In this city some of the taller buildings were perceptibiy shaken, while reports from Bristol, Suffield, Norfolk, Pine Meadow and many ether places showed that pro- nounced tremors had been felt there.

REGARDING PATRONAGE | To Meet Approval of Democratic Sen- timent Rather Than Wishes of Party Leaders—New State Chairman, Albany. N.°Y ,Feb. 10.—Fresh from his conference with President Wil- son, Governor Glynn made plain to- night the fact that complete harmony exists between the state and national administrations and outlined plans for his future policy In regard to appoint- ments. The governor, before the leg- islative correspondents in a body, de- clared that in-selecting men for state offices his desire would be to meet the approval of democratic sentiment rather than the wishes of individual arty leaders, including Charles F. urphy, To Choose New State Chairman. The first step toward reorganization, that of calling a meeting of the state committee to select a chairman to suc- ceed George M. Palmer, will be taken “shortly,” "the governor said. He is firm In his belief that William Church Osborn, who was put in the race by him, will win, Some doubt has been expressed as to whether Mr. Palmer will make a fight against being ousted. The gen- eral report here is that Mr. Murphy and other Tammany leaders will agree to Mr. Osborn’s selection. Mr. Palmer is usually classed a Tammany man. Distribution of Patronage, “Will Mr. Murphy be recognized by the state administration as the sole leader of New York county In ques- tions of patronage, etc.,, the governor was asked. “Any appointment I should make in New York county would be an ap- pointment that I thought met the | approval of the democratic sentiment of New York county,” he replied. “That applles to appointments I should make in any other county. I believe in county autonomy. With me no leader will have a say about matters outside his territory and on matters inside his territory the recommenda- tions he makes must be right, the man he backs must be right to receive favorable ccnsideration from me.” His Attitude Toward Murphy. Attention was called to reports from Washington that the governors un- derstanding with the president was that Mr. Murphy would be eliminated insofar as possible, from state politics and that Tammany Hall would not predominate state politics. “Since 1 have been governor no one man in any one county has been con- sidered the boss of other countles in the state,” he answered. “In_other words, governor, if Mr. Murphy suggested a candidate to you and you thought that candidate was not backed by the best sentiment of New York county, you wouldn't name him?* % “I wouldn’t appoint him.” TREATY SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND Party Platform Must Give Way to It, Say Democrats. ‘Washington, Feb. 10—President Wil- son's wish that congress repeal the provision of the Panama Canal act exempting American coastwise ship- ping from toll charges continued an | absorbing subject of interest in con- gress today and there developed con- siderable sentiment for a democratic conference on the subject in the house and the senate. Majority members of the into-oceanic canals committee in the senate, who argued and voted for the exemption, provision, have taken up for serious considergtion the pro- posal to reverse the national policy. Those who let it be known today that their minds were open on the sub- Ject included Senators Chilton of West Virginia and Simmons of North Caro- lina. “A treaty is the supreme law of the land.” said Senator Chilton, “and our platform declaration cannot alter or repeal that law. Our platfona decla- ration that the party favors the ex- emption fro mtolls ‘of American ships engaged in coastwise trade’ probably ought to be read with this qualifica- tion, necessarily implied: if the con- gress can do so consistently with the supreme law of the land or with na- tional honor.”” “The inter-oceanic conals commit- tee of the senate considered this mat- ter very carefully and decided_ to exempt those American vessels not belonging to trans-continental rail- roads. The law was in a way a com- promise of the contending views, then being urged upon the committeas, ““There is no room for even the sus- picion that the president has any mo- tive other than a true comstruction of the treaty and the very best inter- ests of the country. His judgment has been well nigh infallible.” His ap- peal to ‘stop, look and Msten’ I con- fess, challenges by deepest interest and obliterates any pride of opinion. I do know that he wants to do right and that he works incessantly at the risk of his health to be right all the time.” Senator Simmons, although an earn- est adviser of tolls exemption for American vessels when the canal act was pasged, declared himself open to | argument on the proposal to reverss | the policy, Switzerland’s woodworking _estab. lishments produce great quantities of | i excelsior. | of the state about 1.30 p. m. today. | | Buildings were shaken and electric | light fixtures began to swing.
