Early Results of the New Crusade for Pure
 Milk.
Dozens of Wagons Are Being Held Up Nightly by
 Inspectors.
Cans of Pure Water for the Pur- poses Of Adulteration We're
 Found

Chief Food and Milk Inspector Cookery of the Board of Health is not losing any time in the renewed crusade against i'm pure milk that is known to be coming into this city in considerable quantities.
 Acting on his instructions two arrests were made yesterday morning. One was A. Mozette, and the other the senior member of the firm of Baumann Bros, who came in for considerable notoriety at the time that cows were being inspect ed for tuberculosis. Both were taken into custody as they were entering the city over the San Bruno road, which passes their ranches. Their cases will be called in the Police Court this morning, and a determined effort made to secure convic- tions.
 Inspector Cookery and his men have the city thoroughly districted, and not night passes without dozens of wagons being inspected. Four inspectors are stationed in as many portions of the city, while MT. Cookery and his assistants guard the main avenues through which milk arrives within the city limits
 In a large number of instances recently cans of clear water have been found in the wagons, showing unmistakably that adulteration is going on. In the majority of cases where the water-laden wagons were not those of previous offenders, the inspectors have been content with dump ing the water into the gutter and letting the drivers off with a warning.
 A careful record is kept of all instances where water or adulterated milk Is found in the wagons, and a second offense is certain to bring arrest. Inspector DOCK cry declares that the crusade will be is allowed to reach the consumers of the city.

clared they could not be scared by any earthquake turned white as chalk, and when they called for a drink to sooth their troubled breasts there was a quaver in their voices which bespoke a feeling not of unruff1ed joy.
 The house at 445 Clementina street was a total wreck The hero of the day or rather night was William F.. Howe, who, after discovering that the door of the house was damned in such a way that it. was impossible to get out, broke cut a pane of glass with his hand and then after raising the window helped his wife and relatives on the sidewalk. from where they were soon taken to Mrs. O'Brien's grocery store across the street. Upon examina- tion it was discovered that Howe had sustained severe bruises about the body and after he had removed every one from the wrecked building fainted on the sidewalk and was carried across the street.
 Howe had lived in the building with his wife and mother-in-laws Mrs.

 It was thought to be a miracle that many lives were not lost in the col 1 lapse of the dwelling. The injured man planes the owner of the property for the accident, as he states that on many occasions he had been notified of the condition of the house. According to his reports the building had been In a state of collapse for many months and were without avail.
 George Mills was one of the first men on the street after the shock, and when he saw that the door of the building was damned in he went to the window which had been broken by Howe and assisted him in rescuing the frightened women in the building. All along the street windows had been broken out and panic reigned supreme. A chemical engine was soon on the scene, although no blaze had been reported. Two chimneys on the old Supreme Court building on Larkin and McAllis- ter streets were so twisted by the shock that they are momentarily ex- pected to fall The Fire Department was summoned last [ ight and stretched a line prohibiting travel within the dan- ger limits.
 Marion Crawford, the lecturer, was dining with Mayor Pond. T am used to earthquakes" said MT. Crawford, "and was only afraid that Pond would get frightened and run away without paying for his dinner"
 AS MT. Crawford was in Ischia In 1885, when an earthquake claimed 5000 victims, last nights affair failed to give him a new emotion.
 Rev. Dr. J. E. Scott was attending a meeting on the third floor of the City of Paris building. He said: Tt seemed to us all as If the building would sure ly fall. The chandeliers vibrated in the most cratic manner, the chains not swinging in any one direction, how ever, but seeming to get into a general entanglement."
 Max Pepper and Joseph Nougues rushed from the room in the Phelan building, where the Democratic Cen tral Committee was in session, feeling that the building would surely fall.
 Walter Vail was in his bed at the Palace Hotel. So violent was the shock that it tore clustering from the ceiling and he hastily dressed, bringing out a large piece of clustering with him.

The San Francisco call., 1898-03-31

At exactly 1T minutes to 12 o'clock last night, as shown by the halted hands of the clocks, San Francisco was shaken by the severest earthquake that has visited 1t in many years. There was no preliminary tremor, so far as downtown observers know, but without an instant's warning the rocking be- gan. So long was the movement con- tinued, and so violent was 1t. that re- ports the most exaggerated, born of the terror and surprise of the mo- ment, were at once in circulation. It is probably no exaggeration to say the shock lasted ten seconds, but which way the earth was moved must be left to the determination of scientific in struments. Nobody who was under going the sensation of being churned by the forces of nature, and who was thoughtful enough to take out his watch and time the jolts, has yet been found.
 There were in the restaurants to which after-theater parties resort scenes of panic almost comical at the time, but no on-looker apre- ciated the funny side of them. People who had ordered refreshments fled for the outer air and forgot everything ex- cept an ardent desire to get away from there.
 Some trivial accidents were reported. At 687 Mission street pIastering fell, to the great alarm of the inmates. In a lodging-house at Minna and Third streets an overturned lamp set fire to the curtains, but it was quickly sub dued. Probably there were many minor accidents of this description. Wild rumors were at once started, but l,1 based more on fright than actual hap pening.
 Naturally much interest centered about the Claus Spreckels building at Third and Market streets, this being the tallest structure in the city. People had looked forward to seeing ii sub- jected to some such test as 1t received last night The result was an absolute triumph for the structure. While 1t Swayed, as was inevitable in an edif1ce rising nineteen stories, it sustained not a sign of injury. No clustering crack ed, no joint yielded. At the moment of the shock several gentlemen were in the rooms of the San Francisco Club on the seventeenth floor engaged in playing billiards. They did not stop the games. Everybody realized that the unusual was happening and that the ground was some distance below, but there was nothing in the nature of a rush for the elevator. Later the chief engineer of the building gave it an inspection from basement to f1agpole and found it with out sign of flaw.
 In the hotels people jumped from their beds at lively rate, each explain ing that his purpose was to see how other people were acting under the inn pulse of fear. Of course these searchers after the truth did not own to any pangs of fear themselves, yet they sat about for a long time after the bosom of Mother Earth had sunk to its ac- customed repose and discussed the sit uation.
