TERRIBLE DISASTER.
San Francisco Destroyed by an Earthquake
and Surrounding Towns Damaged.
APPALLING DEATH LIST.

CdldtHlty yet C*PSiiShSSo u"
United States is the destruction
of the city of San Francisco.
which occurred Wednesday morn
ing, at about 500 O'Clock the re-
suit of an earthquake of marked
severity.
There was little or no warning
for the seismic convulsion.
Like a thunderbolt from a clear
sky came. the awful shock and
amid the crash of falling build
ings, the shrieks of the dying
and wounded testified to the
power of nature to change the
beautiful dawn of spring morn
ing into an inferno, as pittiless as
the most graphic description of
hades itself.
With the first shudder of the
land the water mains we're broken
at a hundred places and the
works put out OF commission in a
moment. While the water supply
was not destroyed the mains
were so broken that no pressure
could be obtained to fight the fire.
Telephone and telegraph wires
were also broken and IN the
twinkling of an eye the great city
was absolutely robbed of the
means of communication.
Like demons from the depths
fire sprang out among the ruined
buildings and without hindrance
has eaten its deadly way through
the entire business part of the
city till all that portion lying be-
low Market street has been burned
over comprising in all about eight
square miles of one of the finest
cities on this continent.
Imprisoned and wounded hu-
manity have watched the re-
morseless fire creep on them un-
til its fierce blaze has ended their
sufferings.
Eager hands have been willing
to aid but powerless to accomp
lish but little.
In the absence of water to fight
the flames the power of giant
powder has been invoked and to
its energy is attributable the fact
that part of the residence Por-
tion OF the city has been saved in
a damaged condition. To those
who have visited the coast city it
will carry some idea OF the dis
aster when we say that not a
building in excess of two stories
has been allowed to escape, while
most two story ones have been
damaged greatly.
The Associated press bulletins
of Thursday morning report the
minimum death list at twenty
thousand.
The harbor loss is something
that staggers description. The
ground has been SO tossed and
waved that all vessels are land
locked and cannot escape to the
sea. The vast docks are ruined
and the property loss runs into
the billions.
Our early morning bulletin an
nounces that the California Uni
versity, at Berkeley, has crumbled
down and is burning. Both Oak
land and Berkeley across the bay
are as badly destroyed as San
Francisco itself
Santa Rosa, eighty miles north
of San Francisco is also wrecked
with great loss of life, but reports
are So confined to the main dis
aster that but little can be learned
The newspaper., 1906-04-20


that no such earthquake has ever
occurred before on this continent
since latter day civilization was
established.
A feature of the disaster that is
attracting much attention is the
fact that at a distance of three
and a half miles southeast of San
Francisco a section of ground one
and half miles in diameter and
circular in form has dropped out
of sight, carrying railroad tracks
and houses with it. Scientists
have made figures on its location
that show it to be within a few
seconds of space exactly opposite
to the crater of Vesuvius. Specu-
lation is rife whether there is any
connection between the eruption
of that famous volcano and the
depression in California.
Dynamite as protection from
the fire has failed and now the
flames are steadily eating their
way up Knob hill. the stately
residence section of the city.
Ten miles square of the city has
now been fame swept and there
is no reason to believe that the
fire will be stopped till it burns
itself out.
To the horror of the situation is
added the torment of thirst. No
pure water even for drinking
can be obtained and people are
going crazy from indulging in
sea water. There being no rail
communication left the people
cannot leave town in any number
AT 7:3O Wednesday night an
other heavy earthquake occurred,
destroying many buildings that
had not been badly injured in the
first. The intensity and duration
of the disturbance was far greater
than that of the first shock and
resulting damage is great as we'll
as additional loss of life. The re-
suit would be still worse were it
not for the fact that the first
shock had already destroyed all
the great buildings.
and the condition is simply ap-
palling.
The magnificent Stanford Uni
versity is a colossal ruin, not
thing of value was saved.
The only word that comes nit
igating the report is that Oakland
is not SO badly damaged as was
at first reported. Berkeley is as
badly destroyed as San Francisco
itself. while Santa Rosa and San
Jose are close seconds.
The last shock was felt for a
radius of one hundred miles but
SO far as learned both Los Ange
les and San Diego, which were
both agitated did not suffer either
life or property loss.
So far 500 dead bodies have
been recovered. This does not in
any way act as guide to the cas-
ualties because the greatest loss
has been in territory that passed
under the following fire and in
his space the corpses have been
consumed. Besides no search
has been made of the fire swept
ruins Relief work is necessarily
confined to those wrecks that did
not ignite.
The U. S. Government has re-
ceived word that the Pacific squad
ron of vessels is safe in the harbor
but marooned hopelessly till
means of getting out are provided.
The newspaper., 1906-04-20
THE VERY LATEST.

FRIDAY, April 2O.-Reports re-
ceived at this Office at two o'clock
this afternoon are in brief as toll
lows:
The famous Cliff House, which
was reported destroyed. is now
said to be standing. though badly
shaken and racked.
The U. S. Government is in en-
tire control, the civil authorities
having given over control. The
officers in charge have put cor
don of troops and marines around
the city and has issued orders to
impress every man into the SER
vice of relief. Refusal to serve
or being caught looting is pun
ished by immediate execution.
The white squadron has found
a way to leave the harbor and are
being used to transport the bod
les to sea for burial.
Contrary to reports in the early
dispatches the entire Pacific
is safe.
The work of clearing away of
debris and recovering of the dead
was Systematically started Friday
morning. Among the workers
impressed by the federal authori.
ties were Claus Spreckles and the
Mr.. Huntingdon. The work of
clearing up was started at Water
front street and is being pushed
each way.
The fire has virtually burned
itself out and has covered eleven
square miles of the business dis
trict and consumed the houses on
two-thirds of the resident e:tion
including Knob hill.
Oakland is badly wrecked but
no fires started. There was con-
siderable loss of life however.
Only one student was killed in
the destruction of Stanford Uni
versity.
No word has been received from
the Lick Observatory and it is
not known whether it is destroyed
or not.
The financial loss is about as
reported in our yesterday extra.
This is partially covered by $ll0.-
100000 of insurance which it is
said will be paid
The Government made Thurs
day and Friday legal holidays in
the east in order to protect the
banks from a panic occasioned
by the tremendous drain upon
them from coast points.
All the tents that can be secured
in California have been put in use
for the shelter of women and
children. At Golden Gate Park
100000 people aie being cared
for and at two other parks, one
on the hill and one on the beach
100000 more homeless are being
guarded. AS rapidly as possible
the people are being transported
to the country where they can be
given food and water.
Friday morning 600 head of
cattle at the stock yards escaped
and stampeded passing through
Golden Gate Park killing and
wounding many of the refugees
encamped there.
A cable from the Sandwich
Islands reports a terrible earth
quake there Thursday night
practically destroying every large
building in Honolulu. The casu-
alties are not reported.

CITY GROWING RAPIDLY.
VIII Be Three Times as Big IN 1910,
.Says Stati8tician.

BY 1910, or maybe even earlier. the popula-
ton OF the greater New York will be three times
what it is now, or, in round numbers, will be
twelve millions, according to a computation
made by DR.. w. H. Guilfoy, Registrar Of Rec
ords TO the Department of Health According
to the same authority, the city's population will
be doubled by 1927.
DR.. Guilfoy has based his estimates on the
state census OF 1905 and the federal census OF
1900 These show that the growth OF the city
annually is 3.15 per cent compounded.
On June 1, 1905 the population Of New York
City was AO14, ,304: on June i. 1910. it should
be 4,7O0.442; on September %. 1927 there
should be sO2s60s persons living within the
city limits. and on October II. 1940 there
should be 1902 912. if the growth continues at
the rate it has in the last half decade.
But the chance that this huge total will be
reached considerably sooner is great, because
the death rate is continually decreasing For
per THOUSAND was 1910. while for the year
ending June 1, 1906, it was only about 1900
per thousand. If this last rate is maintained
or is bettered. as seems probable, there would
be a gain in population OF 1.4O or more per
thousand. This is not taken into consideration
In Dr. Guifoys estimate. This would mean that
the doubling of the city's population would be
achieved at least a year earlier than stated.

in front of the Victoria Hotel of a group of the
Nebraskans here to welcome Bryan, early this
morning, and told Dave O'Brien, big Omaha

None OF you fresh New York cops are going to
touch Dave O'Brien. He's one of the biggest
and best men in Omaha, and If you touch him
we'll wipe up the sidewalk with you.'
The policeman shrank a little. Just then De-

MR.. ICES TAX TICKET.

Mr.. William B. Ice, Jr., Of Barrack-
Vile, is a mighty nice man, although
a Democrat. Another thing about Mr..
Ice is that he is Bryan Democrat
and true to the type is a great talker.
He said some pretty warm words
about the new tax laws at the con-
vention in which he was nominated.
We understand since his nomination
he has been very industrIously clrcu-
lating the statement that you can tell
a mans politics by the increase in
his real estate assessment. AS we
look at It, Mr.. Ice really has very lit
tie reason to complain of the new
tax laws. An examination Of the rec
ords shows that ha has Jared pretty
well at the hands of his Republican
friends. His taxes in 1904 were $500
and only $12.41 in 1906. Seeing that
Mr.. Ice is a Democrat, and is enjoying
such a large reduction, according to
his argument he would be almost ex-
empt II he were a Republican. These
figures relative to Mr.. Ices taxes are
worth preserving for future reference.
