DESCRIBES PATH
OF THE TEMBLOB
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
PALO ALTO, Cal April 26.-David
Starr Jordan has this to say as to the
cause of the earthquake disturbance
and the path it took.
The recent disturbance Is a fault or
break of the inner hard crust of the
earth.
AS far as we can trace from rumors
and guesses, it began near Glen Ellen,
Sonoma county, extended past Valen-
cia street, San Francisco, through San
Bruno, Baden, between San Mateo and
Burlingame, across to Mill Page road
south of the university, then appar-
emily across to near Pajara and Sa-
linas. q
Practically it is one of the earth
throes by which this peninsula has been
formed and folded.
1t has nothing to do with Vesuvius
or any other volcano, and 1t is not
likely that it will be repeated for many
years."
DR.. J. c. Branner, vice president of
the university, head of the geological
department and one of the greatest
geology specialists in the country, has
organized party of the senior stu
dents of geology to make an extensive
study of the results of the temblor
on the district extending between Santa
Cruz and San Francisco.

caused many persons to flee to the

mercantile and manufacturing estab-
lishments and more than ESQ., 900 inhabi-
tants, besides some 10000 transients.
Fatalities Less Than 1000

not reach 1000.
Notwithstanding the enormous and
widespread destruction, the homes of
100000 people are still standing practice
ally uninjured.
There still remain the great shipyards
at the Potrero, the Pacific Mail docks,
the stockyardS at South San Francisco,
the docks, manufactures along the
water front from Mission Creek to
Hunters Point, the mint, the postoffice
and a large retail district on Fillmore

was narrowly averted on the ferry boat

MOSCOW April 26.-The congress of
monarchists, which has been in session
here, closed it's deliberations today with
the adoption of a series of extremely
reactionary resolutions declaring that
the new parliament is not representa-
tive of Russian public opinion and pro-
nouncing itself against the autonomy
of Poland and the annulment of the
privileges of Germans i'll the Baltic
provinces.
The congress further declared itself
in favor of the abolition of the privi-
leges granted to the Firms and of treat
ing Jews as foreigners and excluding
them from all rights, such as the pur-
chase or renting of lands or education
in the middle schools or universities.
The proceedings closed with a speech
by Professor Nicholsky, noted re-
dictionary, in which, to the accompani-
ment of cheers, he prophesied a coun-
ter revolution to restore the old regime,
which would cost the lives of seven
million Jews and Constitutional Demo-
Gratis.
