A STUDENT OF GEOLOGY
COVERED BY EARTH

SAN FRANCISCO, May 4.-Geolo-
gists who have been at work since the
earthquake with the object of finding
traces that would establish the cause
of the disturbance have found in the
mountain range west of Redwood City
what appears to be indisputable evil
dence that their theory of the parting
of the mountain ranges along the crest
is a correct one. AT the summit of the
mountains a short distance above the
mense crevice in the earth, the appear
ance of which indicates that the range
split at the top and that the side near
the ocean fell away toward the sea.
This crevice is at places three to six
inches wide. 1t has been followed by
the surveyors for a distance of more
than four miles along the crest of the
range. At places the crack in the
range is of considerable depth and at
other points the evidences show that
the parting of the great mass of rock
and earth was followed by a partial
closing of the gap. The split follows
the line of the range north and south,
this being the general direction of the
earthquake shock.
Dr. John d. Branner, head of the de-
partment of geology at Stanford Uni
versity, has sent a number of assist
ants into the field to make an ex-
haustive study of the changes in the
geological formation. They have ex-
aE1ined the fault along the moutain
range and have made maps of the en-
tire district.
A year ago DR.. Branner's class in
geology mapped the same region. Their
Investigations showed that in the in
terval between that time and the pres
ent, the region west of the crevice now
appearing at the crest of the range has
fallen away toward the sea. At places
the discrepancy is as much as two
feet. thus showing that the extreme
western side of the range is parting
from the old location and moving to-
ward the ocean. The sliding of such
an immense body of ground would be
sufficient. say the biologists. to cause
such a shock as that of April IS.
Luther Lane. a student engaged upon
the work under the direction of the
geological corps. was injured the other
day and has been taken to his home
at San Jose in great suffering. He
was standing on the eastern side of the
crevice when there was heavy rum
BE, followed by shower of stones and
earth that almost covered him. His
companions hurried to his aid and dug
him out.
After the accident, which was caused
by one Of the series of earthquake
shocks that have followed the initial
shock of April Is, it was ascertained
that there had been a further widening

The situation has become SO grave
that the police declare that the city
will soon be at the mercy of disturb
counties shall at once restrict or pro-
hibit the sale of intoxicating drinks.
During the past few nights every
ferry boat returning from Oakland and
Alameda has been crowded with men
who had spent the day in open saloons
across the bay. The manners and lam
guage Of these men have given griev-
Gus offenSe to women and children
and it has been made dangerous for
any sober and weIl-intentioned person
to enter the city at night Once ar
rived in the city, these men crowd the
street cars and roughly handle all in
their way
The Police Commissioners met yes
terday afternoon and decided to post
police guards at every ferry boat slip.
These guards will be instructed to
stop every drunken person who at
tempts to land from a ferry boat. He
will be compelled to board the boat
again and return whence he came. The
railroad companies have been advised
to this effect, and the order of the
Commissioners will serve as warning
to transportation companies that they
will not be permitted to bring drunken
persons into this city. Similar action
will be taken in respect to drunken
persons coming from San Mateo
county.

THE CHIEF OF POLICE
WRITES TO THE SHERIFF.

Conditions as bad prevailed in the
southern portion of the city. The dis
turbances in that section are caused by
men and women who are supplied with
liquor by the roadhouses in San Ma
teo county. The police say that the
problem of drunken people from
neighboring counties has become so
great that they can not cope with it.
They declare that unless the neighbor-
ing counties will close their drinking
places, the nightly scenes of drunken
disturbances in San Francisco will
have to be cured by some arbitrary
and effective act of the Federal or
State authorities.
Chief of Police Oman yesterday ad-
dressed the following letter to Sheriff
Mansfield of San Mateo county, in the
hope that the county authorities will
remedy the drinking evil without wait
ing for any positive interference by
superior authority:
San Francisco, Cal, May Z, 1906
u. H. Mansfield. Sheriff, Redwood
City. Cal.
Dear Sir: We have reliable infor-
nation that four saloons just over the
line in your county on the San Bruno
ROAD are SelIlng 1lquOr to dlSreputable
people. That yesterday afternoon there
were from two to three thousand men
and women congregated at these places.

At s o'clock last night it was necessary
to send to the South San Francisco po-
lice station for assistance. Hoping you
will take this matter UP Immediately
and put stop to such disgraceful
conduct, L remain. very respectfully,

an outrage the failure of the authori-
ties of cities and counties about the
bay to prohibit or rigidly restrict the
sale of liquor during the period of San
Franchises urgent need.
Police Commissioners Poheim and
O'Grady stated today that they re-
garded the opening of saloons in Ala
media and San Mateo counties as little
short of criminal. The only thing that
San Francisco can do now, they said,
is to prevent the people of this city
going into neighboring counties unless
they have police permits.
Commissioner Reagan said that as
the authorities of this city are power
less to control the actions of the au-
thorities of other cities and counties,
he would favor placing a police guard
at the Oakland and Berkeley moIes.
He would, he said, have this guard in
structed to arrest every drunken per-
son who might be trying to reach San
Francisco, and to turn him over to the
police of the Alameda county cities.
In that way, said Reagan. the city
that made the man drunk would have
to keep him until he should become
sober.

THREE KOREANS
HANG TO-DAY

| The three condemned Koreans who
are to suffer death on the gallows this
| morning in the yard of Oahu Prison
spent last evening calm and composed
and evidently prepared for the worst.
In their cells in solitary confinement,
with the death watch keeping strict
surveillance over their every move
ment, the men did not act as if their
hours were numbered They asked the
High Sheriff to permit them to smoke,
a request which was readily granted.
Late in the afternoon Rev. John w.
Wadman, pastor of the Methodist
church, and his Korean assistant, re-
manned with the murderers about an
hour giving them the solace of the
Holy Word, knowledge of which they
have gained only since they came to
Hawaii.
In the jailyard the scaffold has been
erected, the traps tested, as we'll as the
hemp The scaffold will permit only
two men paying the penalty at once,
there being but two traps. After two
have been executed and their bodies
removed, the third and last man will
undergo punishment.
High Sheriff Henry has taken all
measures to make the machinery of
death work smoothly. He has acted
before as executioner and his expert
ence in the past will be of value to-
day.
The condemned men are Wo Miung
Sock, Shin Miung Ok and Kang Yong
Box. The other two Koreans, origin
ally sentenced to die on the scaffold
had their sentences COMMITTED to fif-
teen years, and only yesterday morn
ing left murderer's row to make way
for two murderers brought in from Ha-
wall on the steamer Mauna Loa.
The executions this morning will be
strictly private and only officials, ply
sicians and representative of each
of the daily newspapers will be pres
ent.

The Purity Of 1t

1t seems like bit of sarcas-
tic hunor that the paper on
which IS to be printed the bal4-
lots for the next general cleo
ton must come from the East
where the impurity of the bal
lot is proverbial. Here in Ha-
waii where the political parties
have not reached condition Of
rOttenness sufficient to attract
even local comment the paper
to be used for ballots should
be correspondingly pure. Per
haps, in the absence of a paper
mill bamboo might be used to
good advantage. At all events
1t should be pure in quality. as
pure as the drugs sold in
Hobron's Drug Store. To the
pure all things are pure" does
not apply here; the drugs are
as pure to the ordinary tout as
to the pure man. There are no
better drugs sold anywhere
than here, they cannot be found
and when you buy from Ho-
bron you get what has the
mark of excellence written all
over it.

Then Mr.. Grant set his face and ut
tered the sentiment quoted at the be-
ginning of this article: 1--WE don't need

Russ,A's REIGN OF TERROR.

It Is evident that Russia has learned
nothing from the threat of revolution
and Is plunging the country into
bloody atrocities equal to the carnage
Of Ivan the Terrible instituted two
centuries ago. The government no
sooner had the insurrection In hand
than 1t has begun the severest punish
ment for the offenders. The troops
have been given free hand and
slaughter of the people Is going on
wholesale. Fire Is added to carnage
and wreck and ruin are on every hand
The result of such course must be In
evitable There will be reaction
which will gives the revolution wider
sweep and end in the overthrow of the
government The country Is Inn
poverished. it's industries are paralyzed.
The whole tendency of sane govern
ment should be to upbuild and uplift, to
rouse the spirit and tighten the load.
Instead OF this there In the crushing
Of hopes and the building OF burdens
The world stands in amazement and
can see nothing In the future but the
chaos of revolution.
