March" I. While lesser- shocks" are, "probable" in the region 'shaken by last -night's earth quake. Father Tondori the Georgetown university seismologist, said tonight no disturbance of such pronounced intensity was to be exDected.

None however, was recorded today. 4-ast niignrs disturbance, he estimated after careful study of the grams of his- five' seismographs, centered about 620 miles from Washington, and Its eplcentral- point was somewhere In the vicinity of the Great Lakes, with the "break" possibly at a depth of ten miles. The nature of the stresses which brought about the fracture of the line of weakness in the earth's crust, Father Tondorf said, could hardly be ascertained until seismologists have definitely ascertained the center. From geological knowledge of the locality, an attempt might be made then to determine the immediate cause.

Bearing out this approximation was the report of the Dominion observatory at Ottawa, which, however, definitely placed the point of origin at the sanguinay mouth. Father J. S.

pro fessor of physics at Fordham university, was not yet able to form a posi tive conclusion, but he thought it "highly that the Canadian scientists' deductions were correct. Meanwhile several opinions as to the eplcentral point was offered. Oxford university cabled that the quake had been recorded there but as the seis-mographlo record was imperfect scientists did not care to make a definite, calculations -However, unofficial reckonings at the -English university put the quake starting point "a few hundred miles distant from New York, probably near Washington." Other reports variously asserted that the center or tne aisturoance was in southern Pennsylvania; the West In dies, and the mouth of the Saginaw river in Michigan. w- Tending to substantiate the opinion that the approximately correct point was- the lower St. Lawrence oasm, were the assertions of several experts that the tremors had followed the line of Logan's fault, a great fracture in the eartn crust, wnicn occurred, ages ago.

Dr. Johnson, this fracture in the rock bottom under the sea Is about 350 miles long, extending from the head of -the bay of Fundy south to the coast of Massachusetts.

He said the fact that the tremors were apparently most severe at Boston and Nantucket, bore out this theory. 8ISTER PATRICK JOSEPH DIES SYRACUSE). March 1.
