QUAKE HOCKS EAST; DAMAGE ONLY SLIGHT Thousands Panic-Stricken as Four Distinct Temblors Are Felt. (C ntinucd From Page One) City Hospital patients became panic ttrickon and two nurses fainted. Tlie temblor was felt distinctly along ar. east-to-west line across Massachusctt including Worcester and Springfield, and less severely elsewhere, though Providence, Manchester. Vt , and Portland, Me., felt severe shocks. The shocks apparently were not felt north of Portland and the temblors in New Haven and other Connecticut cities were reported as Blight. Severe in Canada But in the Canadian provinces of Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick, and through New York Stale and New Jersey, the temblors were severe. Telephone communications were disrupted, in Ottawa, capital of the Dominion, and in Simco, Ont. The •walls of a number of buildings in both cities were cracked. In practically nil the cities in the quake zone witnesses reported seeing tall office building sway. As the temblors diminished from their center, their severity became ragged, hitting hard at one spot and so Flight at another that only instruments could feel them. Brooklyn Hardest Hit. Brooklyn and Long Island sections of Greater New York City felt the quake more scverly than the rest of the city, although persons in some of the towering skycrapers of Manhattan felt floors shake beneath them and saw ceiling chandeliers sway. The temblors were not felt in midtown Manhattan buildings, but in the Pulitzer Building, near the Last Raver, windows shook and night workers grabbed their chairs to keep from being thrown to the floor. Brooklyn police evacuated the occupants of several tenement houses and did not permit residents of three to return until the walls had been shored. Throughout the crowded borough, men and women ran into the streets in night clothing. The United Press New York bureau was swamped with calls from this borough in the 10 minutes following the first quake. Many Buildings Rocked One girl, occupant of a 14th-floor apartment house, said she was thrown out of bed and, just as she got to her feet, a bookcase was thrown over on to her. Buildings in the Brooklyn Navy Yard were shaken. In Newark, the home of the Joseph Pallittos, a one-story structure, started to collapse to the side, but was saved by the house adjoining. The Pallittos and their three children were evacuated without harm. Men working in the Public Service Terminal Building in Newark said the structure shook so violently that they felt ill. At police headquarters of that city, desks and chairs slid across the floor. The temblors continued severe southward through the state, where similar stories were told in Camden, Atlantic City, Hammonton, Berlin, Haddon Heights and other towns. The quake was felt less distinctly in Baltimore, Washington, Philadelphia. Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Chicago. through West Virginia, and adjacent territory. Centered on Ontario ;?./ fir inter Si n irr WASHINGTON, Nov. I.—The earthquake which shook the northeastern United States early today was centered in the Lake Nipissing (Ontario) region, where the Dionne quintuplets live, it was believed today by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey using data wired to Science Service this afternoon by seismographic stations. Quins Not Disturbed Jin United Unas CALLANDER, Ontario. Nov. I. The Dionne quintuplets slept peacefully through earthquakes that rocked their hospital-home early today. Dishes and windows rattled, but the famous five were not disturbed, Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe said. Aftershock Is Possible By I iiaril I’ri as WASHINGTON. Nov. I.—The possibility of a secondary aftershock at the center of the eastern seaboard earthquake was foreseen today by Capt. N. 11. Heck, chief of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey's division of Terrestrial Magnetism and Seismology. One Death Reported Bii I nit til I'r n WATERTOWN. N. Y.. Nov. I. One death was attributed indirectly today to tremors which shook this section early today. Mrs. Catherine Cook died of a heart attack caused by fright. ‘Like a Train Rumbling’ Bit Unite,l /’rest CHICAGO. Nov. I.—A slight earthquake shock was felt in Illinois, Michigan and Northern Indiana early today. South Side Chicago residents said the shock was ‘'like a train rumbling.” The temblor was not noticeable in the loop. In suburban Evanston one group playing cards said the table shook and lamps quivered. The tremor was felt throughout upper and lower Michigan, but caused no damage. The University of Michigan seismograph at Ann Arbor recorded a quake of 10 to 15 seconds' duration at 12:06 a. m. ‘Senile Rheumatism' By Unit, it Ur, as NEW YORK, Nov. I.—The earthquakes that shook the eastern continent today were caused oy a senile rheumatism that has wracked this part of old mother earth lor untold centuries. The unusual aspect of the tremors has that they were felt in New York, Botson, and other major cities bf a region that seismologies say is the most immune in ai' .ue world

"In each hour of its glorious history Rome has carried out the misto such disturbance. Geologists can find evidence of only 18 quakes in New York in 300 years and the most severe o. record, prior to today, knocked down only a few chimneys. Seismologists say the earthquakes that .trike Northeastern United States and Eastern Canada are “techtox.ic” in type. That means, summarizing a wide field of geology in a caption, that the earth hereabouts is hoary with age and its crust is shrinking and wrinkling like the skin of a dried apple. Scientists o f the American Museum of Natural History believed today's temblor originated in the slip of a rock mass about 350 miles out in the Atlantic Ocean on a geologic fault recently discovered. Its reactions were carried over a quarter of the continent along connecting and adjoining faults. Dr. Arthur Keith of the United States Geological Survey explained, at the time of the last noticeable New York temblor, April 20, 1931, that earthquakes occur in the East along several well mapped lines. The largest is the "Logan” fault, a great subterranean crack extending along the St. Lawrence Valley, south through the Lake Champlain country and the Hudson Valley and into Alabama. Because of that fault New England has had a shock about once yearly for three centuries. Frequency of the quakes has increased since 1924. Another major crack, almost equal to Logan’s crack in its effect on New England, extends more than 350 miles into the Atlantic from the head of the Bay of Fundy. A smaller fault extends from Poughkeepsie, N. y., through New York City into New' Jersey. The most disastrous earthquake in the East of modern times centered in Charleston, s. C„ in 1886. Sixty per cent of the city’s buildings were damaged and more than 100 persons killed. The shock w r as felt in Toronto and Jacksonville. Seismograph Crippled U.y United Press HARVARD, Mass., Nov. I.—Today's earthquake was sufficiently cevere to cripple one of six seismographs at Harvard University observatory. Observers discovered that the seismograph which records the vertical action of earth tremors went out of commission at the height of the 'quake. Toronto Mains Burst tty United Ureas TORONTO, Ontario, Nov. I.—The Ontario Meterological Bureau said the earthquake was the most severe in Ontario since 1925. In Toronto it cracked ceilings, crumbled chimneys, burst water mains and shattered windows. Loss was not believed high. A bulb in the seismograph machine at the Meteorological Bureau was broken by the quake.

THE IXDIAXAPOLIS TIMES

M’NUTT CHIEFS STUDY PROTEST| MADE BY LABOR Antagonism to Governor Shown by Objection to Appearance. BY JAMES DOSS Times Staff Writer Organized labor's latest indication of antagonism to Gov. McNutt is being studied by Democratic leaders for its effect on the party and the Governor’s political future. Chattanooga labor organizations have protested his scheduled address tomorrow before the East Tennessee Education Association. He is going ahead with his plans, despite the protest. The Governor's declaration and retention of martial law in Vigo County is responsible partly for the rupture with labor. Vigo County labor groups criticised him during and since the Terre Haute strike. They were instrumental in having the American Federation of Labor formally denounce the Governor as unfriendly to labor when it met in convention at Atlantic City recently. Refuses to Comment To all accusations of unfairness to labor, the Governor answers: “No comment whatever. ’ This growing unpopularity with labor is not causing party leaders | any fear and trembling over its effect on Democratic fortunes in the state, but it does open, or rather re- i open, the interesting field of speculation on the Governor's future. He has been touted as a compromise presidential nominee, a vicepresidential running mate for President Roosevelt in 193 C, an “almost sure” presidential candidate in 1940, | a cabinet member and the next president of Indiana University where he once was law dean. Still another conjecture has been that the connections and reputation he has made as Governor would enable him to engage in the practice of corporation law with some nationally known law' firm. Although Gov. McNutt sticks to j his flat "no comment” observation j when asked to reply to labor's ac- ; cusations, administration spokesmen are i.ot backward in leaping to his defense. Cite Fro-Labor Laws They plagiarize Al Smith, replying: “Let’s look at the record,” the record in this case being a roll call of the pro-labor legislation credited to the state administration. Included in this defense summary, to list a few outstanding pieces of legislation, are outlawry of the “yellow dog” contract; regulation of the hours of women in industry; the law providing that employers shall I pay employes at least twice monthly, if employes so desire, and vari- ; ous laws providing for safety of railroad and mine workers. Meanwhile. Vigo County martial law continues. The Governor is holding frequent conferences with all principals in an effort to straighten out labor difficulties there and lift the troop rule. Labor and employers appear to be at an impasse, but Gov. McNutt hopes an agreement can be reached and regulation of the county turned back to local authorities. In the interim, his reply to future labor attacks is expected to be the inevitable: “No comment whatever!”

Hold That Line By United Press ANGOLA. Ind.. Nov. I.—This little college town today was recovering from a mad Halloween shambles during which the enraged citizenry fired tear gas bombs at hilarious TriState College students. It all started when more than 500 college boys paraded downtown expecting to carry out their traditional Halloween march through theaters and restaurants. The citizens wouldn't co-operate this year and a battle started in the town square when the students attempted to sound the fire siren. Fists were swung and heads were cracked. Town boys and American Legion members fought off the college invaders with tear gas bombs. Three students were taken to a hospital with gashed heads. Three others were arrested. “Townies” completed the rout by littering the college campus with broken telephone poles and other debris early today.

SECOND WADING POOL PROJECT IS STARTED 30 Workers Are to Be Employed on WPA Construction. WPA workers today began construction at 630 W. Michigan-st of the second of a series of 12 wading pools for Indianapolis children. The pool will be 30x60 feet, smaller than the others due to restricted space. The pool is to be only a short distance from School 4. Thirty workers are to be employed on the project. Ten other pools are to be built in the next few' months. Keaton Released From Hospital By United Press HOLLYWOOD, Nov. I.—Buster Keaton, dead-pan film comedian, apparently was on the road to complete recovery today after his release from the Sawtelle Veterans’ Hospital to which he was admitted after suffering a nervous breakdown.

HALLOWEEN FUN NOT SO FUNNY IN SOME CASES Lawlessness Follows in Wake of Celebration, Records of Police Show. Halloween activities, for the most part just plain fun, were fringed last night and early today with lawless and untoward events that noware history on police records. For .nstance, some funny fellows turned in four false fire alarms that caused apparatus to speed through the crowded city streets, endangering lives and costing the taxpayers money. Then there was the hotel guest who fired a pistol shot through a fourth-floor store window. He checked out before police could apprehend him. Punching and Shooting There was the Negro who celebrated by running up to Donald Kinsey, 1017 S. New Jersey-st, at Ray and Charles-sts, and punching him on the nose. Someone fired a shot through the front window of the home of Mrs. Mary Yoh. 2631 N. Illinois-st. No one was injured. The Marott reported that five wooden law r n benches were carried away, and someone threw a whisky bottle through a printing shop window at 905 Massachusetts-av. False-faced robbers entered the parked car of Dr. Fred D. Cheney, 1702 N. Alabama-st, at Delaware and Walnut-sts, and took narcotics and physicians’ instruments. Robberies Are Reported Two Negroes, not masked, robbed Jess Rittenhouse, 1202 N. Capitolav, of SB. and burglars entered the apartment of Miss Betty Davis, 1141 Broadway, and stole loot valued at $350. Other thieves robbed homes of Mrs. Elizabeth Foltz, 2259 N. Penn-
