PROBABLE CAUSE
OF TASTROPHE
HARRY l.. KERR GIVES HIS IDEA
OF THE CAUSE OF THE SAN
FRANCISCO DISASTER.

Harry L. Kerr, one of the leading
architects of Honolulu. and man who
knows possibly more about the condi-
tions in San Francisco than any other
person In the islands, gave the follow
ing reasons this morning for the catas-
San Francisco, that is the main
portion of the town, is built upon
ledge of rock that runs off into the
bay at an angle of 80 degrees. Upon
this ledge the business portion of the
town is built, and upon ground that is
filled in. The material used as fill
er is nothing but common dirt and
sand and hence is more or less inse-
cure Many a pile has been driven
there to a depth Of $50 feet without
striking anything solid. Engineers
have predicted for years that the first
time an earthquake shook the rock it
would start the whole affair sliding
down the slope of the rock into the
bay. There is nothing that could pos
sibly stop it and in my opinion that is
the cause of the present catastrophe.
The shocks this morning evidently
started the whole affair sliding towards
the bay into the water, at least, it
shifted enough 10 destroy the business
portion of the town"
Mr. Kerr has a wife and baby at
present in San Francisco They were
on Turk street, but were going down
town to stop the last time he heard
from them He is much alarmed for
their safety.

LOSS OF LIFE

In the absence of cable communica-
tion with San Francisco, it is impos-
sibIe to give any idea of the extent
of damage or the loss of life It is
doubtful ir any adequate idea of the
loss of life was secured up to the time
that cable communication was broken
this morning.
The first dispat tch announced that
many lives We're lost. Inasmuch as
the subsequent dispatches did not

WHAT PROMINENT REAL ESTATE
DEALER OF SAN FRANCISCO
SAYS OF DISASTER.

G. II Umbsen the well known real
estate dealer of San Francisco win be
a returning passenger to San Fran
cisco by the S. $. Alameda today. He
was astonished upon hearing of the
disaster and said that he could scarce
ly credit the news.
81 can hardly credit the news of the
disaster" he said THE dispatches must
exaggerate the conditions. one dis
patch states that the Call building was
enveloped i'm flames and then collapsed
l can not conceive of such thing. our
firm has had the handling of that build
ing for Spreckels ever since it was
erected and I know that the building
was in every way an up-to-date fire
proof structure There was practical
ly nothing i'm the building, except the
oak doors at the entrance that could
have taken fire, ] do not understand
the thing at all.
"The dispatch also states that the
district south of Montgomery street is
under water. That section is all made
land. The original water front line
of San Francisco of forty years ago, is
very different from that of today All
of the present water front and prac-
tically all of the wholesale business sec
tion of the city is on reclaimed land.
1t is that land which is now reported
to be under water. This information
would indicate that the land had slid
into the water or that the bottom had
dropped out of that section of the city
If he news is correct, the disaster is
something appalling"
