Insurance Companies Are Hard Hit.
From present appearances probably
twenty local insurance companies will
be ruined. The managers Of large
companies are of the opinion that
they will be able to meet losses. In
any event all insurance companies
doing business in the city have been
hit a staggering blow from the effects
Of which many will never recover.
Stanford University Destroyed.
The most beautiful buildings of the
famous Stanford university were razed
to the ground, causing a loss of $3,-
800, 900 and bringing death to two per-
sons The buildings destroyed are:
Encina hall, college home Of the boy
students; the new gymnasium building
only recently completed and one of the
finest structures of the kind in the
world; the famous Stanford library
building, recognized the world over as
an architectural triumph; the Quad

beautiful of college structures. and
the grand arch at the entrance Of the
university grounds.

homes and took to the hills, gazing in
despair at the destruction.

Funston's Report To Taft.

WASHINGTON, D. c April 10
Funston wired this morning to Sec
retary of War Taft:
your dispatches received. have
already filed several to you. 1t is inn
possible to inform you as to the full
extent of the disaster. The city IL
practically destroyed. Troops are aid
ing the police in maintaining order.
Martial has law not been proclaimed.
We are working in conjunction with
the city authorities and have not in
terferred with the sending Of any dis
patches. About two hundred thousand
people are homeless. Food is scarce.
All provision houses have been de-
stroyed and all government building
are gone.
Rations From Army.
All army supplies and facilities Of
the coast has been ordered to General
Funston. Funston says he will re-
port army casualties later" Two
hundred thousand ratiOns have been
ordered from Vancouver barracks. The
orders give Funston carte blanche of
all resources. There is no word at the
navy department of the warships Cal
ifornia and South Dakota, under con-
struction in San Francisco. Admirals
McCalla and Goodrich have been ord
cred to use al facilities of the squadron
to aid the city. There are enough sup
plies at Mare Island to prevent suffer-
ing for two days. By that time food
will arrive from Vancouver barracks.

OAKLAND, Calf. April 19.-When
the sun arose on San Francisco this
morning the city was vast desolate
stretch. Where the city stood are only
piles Of brick, steel and stone.
The night was one of horror. Panic
stricken thousands gathered at Gold
en- Gate park, houseless. homeless,
hungry and thirsty. They spread
blankets but there was little sleep for
any. Continued dynamiting told them
Of the destruction Of scores Of struct-
ures. Thousands of refugees are at
Black Point, which now seems the
only safe place on the north end pc
ninsula. Their plight is pitiful. few
having sufficient bedding. The wailing
Of the young are mingled with the
means Of the elders. Desperate efforts
by the water company to repair its
mains seem fruitless. There Is no
water vet. The scarcity Of food Is
equally serious. The only food is in
small stores in the outlying districts
and that is only sufficient to last
few hours The poor are forced to re-
main in Frisco Others fled to Berke-
lev. Oakland and other bay cities, but
the Accommodations are not sufficient
for all. In the city hall park five
hundred refugees are using overcoats
and wraps for blankets.

buildings and other places where
treasure is stored to prevent footing.
GhouIs at Work.
At an early hour fiendish ghouls
broke into stores and robbed them,
the proprietors being either dead or
driven out. They circulated through
the streets picking the pockets of the
panic stricken people. Several were
shot and instantly killed by soldiers,
who gave them no quarter where
they discovered the wretches at their
dirty work. The example was a sal
utary one, for last night lawlessness
subsided to some extent although the
panic was greater if anything.
Death List Not Large.
Over a thousand persons who were
seriously injured by the earthquake
and fire are being treated in various
hospitals throughout the city. The
proportion Of dead is not as large as
might be expected. Only twenty OF
those admitted to hospitals have died
since their admission.
While the earthquake was at its
height, two smokestacks at the foot
of Grove street fell through the roof,
crushing the boiler and killing one
fireman. The force Of the earthquake
caused the Twelfth street dam, oppo-
site the lighthouses on Lake Meron to
sink 18 inches.
Thousands Are Homeless.
The fire has swept Mission district
leveling the homes of $4,000 in this
one section alone. The Emporius, the
city's largest department store on
Market street is a mass of ruins. Lane
yesterday afternoon the buildings in
the vicinity Of the United States Mint
and postoffice were blown up in the
hope of saving these. The effort how
ever, proved useless and the magnin-
cent structures, including the City
hall. fell before the onrushing hell OF
fire. At nine last night the Bailey and
Costa building on Clay street fell in
killing three men and seven horses.
The fire is spreading at all bounda-
ries except the west water front. n.y.
namiting still continues.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-04-19
Situation Is Hopeless.

OAKLAND, April 19.-Frisco is a
shambles. The supply of dynamite is
exhausted and no more buildings can
be blown up to stop the progress of
the roaring sea of flame. There is no
water. No human agency can stop the
conflagration. Firemen are dropping
exhausted. Many people are sleeping
under wagons, careless as to the ap-
proach of the flames. The situation
could not be worse unless a volcano
began pouring lava over the city.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-04-19

day. The hope was raised that with
the use Of tons of dynamite the course
Of the fire might be checked and con-
fined to the triangular sections it had
cut out for it's path. But on the Bar
barry coast fire broke out anew and as
night closed in, the flames were eating
their way into parts untouched in the
ravages during the day. To the south
and the north they spread, down to the
docks and out into the residence Sec
ton in and to the north of Hayes val
ley. BY o'clock practically. all the
great buildings had been leveled to
heap that marked what was once the
metropolis Of the west.
Heartrendins Scenes at Morgue.
The scene at Mechanics Pavilion
during the early hours Of the morn
ing and up until noon, when all in
jured and dead were removed, because
of the threatened destruction of the
building by fire, was one of indescrib-
able sadness Sisters, brothers, wives
and sweethearts searched eagerly for
some missing dear ones. Thousands
hurriedly went through the building
inspecting the cots on which sufferers
lay. in the hope of locating some loved
one that was missing. The dead were
placed in one portion of the building,
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-04-19

OAKLAND. April ia realty syn
dictate has offered Idora park for the
use of those left without shelter by the
earthquake. The offer was accepted
by the police and fire commissioners,
and two hundred cots have been
placed in it for the use of refugees.
Relief stations have also been estab-
lished at the city hall and at various
public parks and churches.
Many Refugees.
Mayor Frank K Mote has issued an
appeal to the people of Oakland to
aid the authorities in preserving peace
and order.
REFUGEES Flee to Southwark.
Thousands of refugees from Frisco
gathered the few household goods
they had saved and fed in terror.
Thousands more fled without taking
ANYTHING being glad to escape. The San
Bruno road and other avenues Of
eeress to the southwark Of Frisco are
hacked with pedestrians, plodding
along. with no other idea than to get
as far away from the horrors behind
them as possible. Ferry boats for
Oakland carried thousands also, and
before they resumed operations yes
terday afternoon, tug boats and
launches piled back and forth carry
ing terrified people across the bay.
Tales Of Horror.
Each hour brings fresh tales of
casualties of people mangled by the
earthquake Of yesterday morning. OF
neople crushed in the streets by the
falling material and of people burned
to death before they could escape from
the flames. Some still lie in the
streets where they fell Most Of the
incubation Of San Francisco are toe
busy getting away to be scrupulous
about removing the dead and those
who are fighting manfully against the
flames have no time. Those engaged
in humanitarian work have theil
hands full Doctors and nurses by the
score have proffered their services ano
all are needed.
Troops Line the Streets.
Troops and police line the streets
forming a Gordon about the danger
zone. They are compelled to ora"
back continually and exteno theh
lines as the fire spreads. A stric'
watch Is being kept on the oani
