QUAKE ‘FREAKS' ! ARE DESCRIBED TO GEOLOGISTS Tricks Played With Rivers, Lakes Related by U. S. Surveyor. B.V Sclrnrr Sen ice. WASHINGTON, April 29.-Strange tricks that earthquakes play with rivers, lakes and subterranean waters of the earth were described to the American Geophysical Union at Its meeting here recently by Captain N. H. Heck of the U. S. Coast and Deodctic Survey. Earthquakes often cause fountains of water or liquid mud to spurt from the ground, Captain Heck said. They sometimes change the course of subterranean streams, or the quantity of water flowing in them. In the earthquake that occurred in New York State in 1929, the Attica reservoir filled, although there had been no rain, while in a region not far distant the wells went dry. New Lakes Formed Earthquakes often cause strange behavior by rivers and other bodies of surface water. The famous New Madrid quake in the lower Mississippi valley over a century ago caused the great stream to flow backwards for a time, and the disturbance was followed by the formation of several entirely new lakes that still are in existence. Earthquakes may dam up streams to form lakes, or they may break down natural dams and release floods or mud flows. Some of the most disastrous effects of repent earthquakes in interior China Wero due to the jarring loose of masses of watersoaked fine earth, causing terrific landslides. Urges Wave Studies Water, in its turn, has effects on earthquakes. Some of the strangest and to scientists the most puzzling, of earthquake phenomena are the so-called gravity waves of earthquakes, waves that travel visibly along the surface at express train speeds, though theey are very much slower at that than the waves that are felt, but are too swift to be seen. These gravity waves are much affected in their intensity and velocity by the amount of water held by the soil through which they move. Captain Heck recommended a thorough study of the rate of wave travel through water-soaked earth as a problem promising both theoretical and practical results in the science of earthquakes. POSTAL CLERKS FAVOR RETIREMENT MEASURE 30-Year Compulsory I‘lan, Now Before Congress, Given Approval. Resolution favoring the thirtyyear compulsory retirement bill now in congress, has been adopted by Indianapolis local 130, National Federation of Postoffice Clerks, it was announced by Secretary Edward Grimes. The local also favored increasing the employes’ contributions to the retirement fund rather than reducing annuities. A statement issued by the local pointed out that, contrary to public opinion, retirement annuities are not paid by the government, but by a fund created bv a 3' 2 per cent deduction from employes’ salaries. The statement set out that the thirty-year retirement rule would aid the employment situation, but would place younger men on the pension lists, requiring a heavier assessment or reduced annuities because of their longer life span after retirement. 700 YOUNG PEOPLE TO MASS AT DRY RALLY Dr. W.

LABOR FIGHTS RAILROAD BILL Union Chiefs Fear Economies Proposed by Roosevelt to Cost Many Jobs. BY MARSHALL MNEIL Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, April 29.—Organized railway labor', backed by thirty or more votes in the senate, is fighting to have President Roosevelt’s railroad bill rewritten when it reached Capitol Hill, if not before. The proposed legislation, submitted to the White House by Secretary of Commerce Daniel C. Roper some days ago, may be sent to congress either today or next week. Its chief purpose is to effect railway economies, by the elimination of wasteful services and practices, consolidations, pooling arrangements and financial reorganizations where necessary. A railway co-ordination is to be appointed to handle these affairs for the government, in co-operation with the carriers. The co-ordinator’s orders would be reviewable by the interstate commerce commission, and would not be subject to the anti-trust laws. This emergency plan, intended to operate for a year, may be extended by the President if the emergency exists after twelve months. Labor's opposition, voiced through George M. Harrison, acting chairman of the railway labor executive association, was emphatic. “We see no justification for drastic reductions of essential transportation service in order that unearned interest may be paid on idle capital. “Communities deprived of adequate and competitive rail transportation will be depressed further. Thousands of railway workers will be added to the bread lines. Economic recovery will be retarded by this further deflation of business and labor. "If we have reached the end of railroad competition we have arrived at the necessity for immediate, complete and direct public control.” TRIAL DATE TO BE SET Seleet Judge for Mellett’s Suit to Regain Anderson Mayor Office, By Times Special ANDERSON, Ind..

You Tell One Here’s First Fish Story of Season —and It Got Away! T AZY day! Fine fishing day! So thought Roy Calvert, Negro, 19, of 2138 Wendell street, Friday afternoon and he took his can of night crawlers and line, and began his campaign on the bank of Fall creek at Northwestern avenue. Hours passed. No bite. Calvert lolled up against a tree yards from his pole. Then—the pole’s line jerked. A bite! His first bite of the season and about to get away because he, Calvert, was yards away. Spring fever was forgotten. Calvert leaped into the creek. The fish ran away with the line. Calvert chased. He chased too far. Water downed him, and almost drowned him. Two fishermen uncles dragged him from the creek before a police rescue boat arrived. And the fish swam away with the pole.

Directors Propose Renewal of Glen Haven Operation

Cemetery Chiefs to Seek Approval of Plan for Refinancing.

Renewal of operation of Glen Haven Memorial cemetery on Kessler boulevard, will be attempted by directors and officers, it was announced at a meeting of nearly seventy-five lot owners at the Washington, Thursday night. Approval of Superior Judge Clarence E. Weir will be sought Monday to a refinancing plan under which the receivership will be lifted. It is understood that sufficient money has been raised to pay receivers’ fees, court costs, accrued interest and other expenses necessary for' resuming operation. Moratorium by Creditors Creditors of the association have agreed to a moratorium of five years on indebtedness, it was said. Lot owners, who have organized in an effort to recover payments, will be granted representation in the affairs of the association, under the refinance program. Announcement of the plan was made to the meeting in a letter from the directors and officers addressed to Paul c. Wetter, chairman of the lot owners committee*. Preliminary plans for participating in the management were laid at the meeting when Wetter was authorized to select a committee to aid the officers. Advises Against Litigation Wetter also w r as authorized to file a claim against the receivership for $78,768.09, representing a portion of a perpetual maintenance fund which has been used for other purposes. In an address to the group, Wetter advised against resorting to liti-

champions to meet each other on the final day of the national championship matches. Some Indianapolis boy or girl will spend a week's vacation at the Chicago Century of Progress, next June, while he competes in the western marble tournament finals to bring the 1933 marble championship to Indianapolis. All expenses will be paid by The Times. Start practicing now. Preliminaries will start early in May. And watch for the rules. to be printed next week in The Times.

gation, pointing out that such procedure would handicap the refinancing program. W. C. Mendenhall, auditor, who was employed to analyze affairs of the cemetery, also advised today against any move which would prolong settlement. "From my examination of the records of the association and my knowledge of present plans, a resort to litigation would handicap the efforts of officers and directors in resuming operations and reaching a paying basis, which, in the long run, is the desire of the lot owners,” Mendenhall said. HEARING ON WATER RATES OPENS MONDAY Attorneys for Company Will Attack Rate Schedule in Federal Court. Rate schedule on which Indianapolis consumers have been paying water bills since Jan. 1 will be attacked in federal court Monday by attorneys for the Indianapolis Water Company. Albert Ward, former United States attorney, will sit as special master in the case. An injunction is sought by the water company to prevent enforcement of the public service commission’s rate schedule, which based the company property valuation at $22,500,000. The schedule increased the minimum charge to water consumers from SI.OB to $1.25 a month. Water company attorneys will contend for a higher valuation. Before the public service commission, city attorneys argued the valuation for rate purposes should be as low as $19,000,000.
