ments collapsed like eggshells, crush
ing and suffocating their inmates be-
fore they had time to escape. In many
cases fire finished the work of death,
catching the victims as they were
pinned still alive under the debris.

dynamited.

except one belonging to the Postal
union, made it almost impossible for
the stricken city to communicate with
the outside world. The severe injury

fees, also the Associated Press, greatly
added to the difficulty.
The practical destruction of six or
eight blocks, coupled with the immense
loss of life and damage to property
throughout San Francisco and the en-
tire coast region. makes this the worst
earthquake disaster in American his
tory, exceeding even the historic
Charleston earthquake of few years
ago.
San Francisco has suffered from
many slight seismic shocks. one of
them occurring about year ago At
that time long article appeared in
one Of the papers. signed by pro-
fessor in one of the observatories near
by. stating that there was no partic-
ular danger from these tremors of the
earth's surface. The coast region. ac-
cording to this writer, was newer than
parts Of the country farther east and
was therefore settling. He said peo-
pie should feel no alarm. as nothing
serious was liable to happen.
Evidently the earth's crust in the
Golden Gate region has been doing
some more settling"
The most severe earthquake San
Francisco has known prior to the pres
ent one was in 1865 Quite little
damage resulted, though nothing re-
motely comparable to this. 1t was the
1868 shakeup that was made famous
by Mark Twain. The most surprising
thing the genial Mark saw at that time
was the opening up of She ceiling of
his room, the lips of the orifice work
ing to and fro like a mouth and a brick
slipping through and held in suspen-
sion. like one lone tooth on the jaw Of
an old man.
The last earthquake that occurred in
San Francisco was in January, 1900.
Several distinct shocks were felt early
in the morning, causing the vibration
of buildings all over the city. The
chief building affected was the st.
Nicholas hotel, which was severely
shaken. The walls collapsed in GER
tain parts of the structure, guests were
thrown out of their beds and furniture
was destroyed.
In 1904 there was a severe seismic
disturbance In Los Angeles, which was
felt throughout the city and for
radius of several miles around.

be dangerous undertaking because of

won out and thereby set an example of

campaign here has become exciting in
the extreme. The issue is municipal
ownership and the particular bone Of
contention iS whether or not Messrs.
Brown and Workman shall be granted
a franchise to erect and maintain gas
plant in this city. These gentlemen, of
Des Moines, who are asking the voters
for franchise purchased practically
the whole evening edition Of a local
paper Saturday. copy of which was
placed in every home in the city. Space
in this was given to a leading story to
the effect that the Standard Oil COM
pany is spending $4,000 to defeat the
franchise in this city. 1t was even
charged that this big company was
paying For the hundreds of cigars,
liquor and other campaigning expenses
of the council" Personal attacks in the
paper were also made on w. j. Cow
land, Col. G. w. Crosley, and other
prominent citizens.

was read in which he holds that fran
