TWO DISTINCT SHOCKS ARE FELT IN VARIOUS PARTS OF STATE; QUAKE FELT IN CALIFORNIA Elsinore Receives Brunt of Quakes in Early Morning; People Ruth into Streets in Night Attire Utah Earthquake shocks, the most severe ever felt In this region, awoke ' thecltizens' Of several towns nearliere early Thursday morning. The disturbance centered at Elsinore, seven miles south of here, where the school building was so badly damaged that it could not be used. A series of minor shocks were recorded locally at Elsinore and Monroe, but the shakeup was principally confined to two distinct quakes, occuring within a few minutes of each other and each lasting over a period of several seconds. The first shock occurred at 7:15 a. m. and lasted for more than two seconds. Fire minutes later the heaviest of the two quakes shook the valley for fully six seconds, tumbling sleepers from their beds and damaging property to an extent not yet estimated. Buildings rocked on their foundations and the startled residents, garbed In their night clothes, rushed Into the streets. It was with difficulty that they maintained their feet, as the disturbance caused by the faulting earth rocked them backward and forward. Chineys crashed to the ground. Buildings of fragile' construction collapsed. In the Hotel Johnston lobby the rocking chairs rolled over backward from the motion and in the dining room those at early breakfast had their meals precipitated into their laps. , Telephonic reports from nearby towns indicate that quakes centered near Elsinore seven miles south of here. There a considerable damage was done to the sehoolhouse and to other buildings. So far reports Indicate that no one has been injured in the hundreds of small crashes occasioned by the major disturbance. But it Is known that as far south as Marys-val- e the effect of the shock was felt in damaged property, destroyed chimneys and frightened populace. The quakes took a north-soutline for a known distance of more than fifty miles, and from the severity of the disturbances at these extreme points, it is believed that a njuch greater area was affected by the shocks, At the center of disturbance, the Elsinore sehoolhouse had one wall partially crushed in, while the remaining structure was so badly damaged that the building was made unsafe for use, it is said. The line of fault seemed to lie directly along one foundation of this building, allowing that side to settle until a space of more than one foot remained between topwall and roof. At Elsinore, it is said, six distinct shocks were felt; but aside from the heavier movements felt , throughout this district, no damage was done, it is said. The disturbances subsided about 8:10 a. m. and no further shocks had been felt at noon. But it was some time later before the frightened populace would trust themselves inside the citys buildings. Immediate communication with all communities in this district believed to have been within the faulting zone was attempted with reports of incidental damage at Marysvale and Monroe.

The discussion, senators said, did not Involve the probable attitude on ratification of former President Wilson. Senator Hitchcock, referring to reports in circulation that Mr. Wilson had expressed himself to one or two other Democratic senators as against ratification, said he knew nothing about it. Coincident with the Democratic conference, Senator Borah of Idaho, a Republican opponent of ratification, introduced a resolution requesting the state department to advise the senate whether the Untied States has' any "representative or agent serving in my capacity with allied members of the reparations commission. Before the conference there was much discussion of a report published that former President Wilson was backing the fight against the treaty in the senate.
