WANTS BETTER
LAWS
(Scripps News Association.)

(Scripps News Association)
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 49,
The president today sent a message
to congress urging remedial legis-
lation in the matter of immunity to
persons and corporations. The in
terstate commerce commission is
also advocating the passage of a
law granting the right of appeal TO
the government In criminal cases
wherein the defendant has not yet
been actually put on trial upon the
merits Of the case.
These recommendation grow out
OF the recent decision of Judge
Humphrey OF the federal court in
Chicago in the beef trust case
whose Interpretation of the will of
congress, the president declares,
cmoes miserably near making the
law a farce.

LA TEST

(Scripps News Association)
SACRAMENTO, CAL, April 49,
The heaviest and most disastrous
earthquake shock in the history Of
the Pacific coast occurred at San
Francisco at Sis this morning. All
wires arc down between here and
the city except private telephone
and wires of the railroad company
to Oakland, through which 1t Is
learned that the Call and Chron-
icIe buildings, the city hall, the Cali
fornla hotel and St. Francis hotel
and other sky scrapers are wholly
or partially wrecked with great loss
Of life, while practically the entire
city from Third street to the water
front Is on fire, and owing to the
wrecklng Of tho water system there
Is no water to fight the fire. This
makes the danger appalling. Loss
of life and property Is immense.
The Southern Pacific ferries have
stopped running on account of tens
of thousands Of people crowdng the
ferry slips to get out of the city.
It is rumored that 200 bodies have
been taken from the ruins and car
ried to Mechanics pavilion.
Although the shock was severe
within a radius of 100 miles little
damage is reported outside of San
Francisco.
The federal building In this city
Is somewhat cracked, but the dam
age Is not serious.
From the highest elevation In San
Jose, rs miles away, the city can
be seen ablaze.
The estimates of the number OF
dead vary. Reports are very con-
fusing and conflicting, but 1t is be-
lieved that at least 5000 are dead.
Reports centerins at police head
quarters are appalling and most all
are verified.
Application has been made to the
United States government for trans
ports to take bodies to be buried
at sea. SO many Of them are so
mutlIated that It is impossible to
care for them ashore.
Cities across the bay were shak-
en- severely and suburban fire de-
partments are fighting many fires.
The supply Of dynamite has been
exhausted and Mayor schmitz teIe-
phoned to Oakland for more ex.
pIosives.
II Is feared the entire city will
be destroyed II they can not stay
the flames quickly.
General Funston has ordered out
the entire military force of the Pre-
sldlo and Fort Mason to guard the
property and preserve order, but as
yet there has been little disorder.
Fire Chief Sullivan was killed I'M
der falling ruins.
All saloons have been closed by
the order of the mayor, and all bust
ness Is suspended. Howard and
