.EARTH'S CRUST
IS DISLOCATED
California Earthquake Commission
Diagnoses State s Geological
ss.s Condition.

Sacramento, Cal, June 4.-The pre-
lirninary report of the state earthquake
commission was received yesterday al
the office of Governor Pardee. Under
the heading Of results the report says:
Gone Of the remarkable features Of
the coast ranges of California is line
of peculiar geomorphic construction
which extends obliquely across the en-
tirewidth of the mountainous belt from
Mendocine county to Riverside county.
The surface feature along this line has
been formed by a dislocation of the
earth s crust, or a series of disloca
tiops, in times past with differential
movement of parts on either side of the
plane of rupture.
The movements that produced the
line are attributed to separate earth
ternary period.
The Recent Quake.
In general terms, the causes of these
movements are attributed to the theory
that stresses are generated in the
earth 8 crust and accumulate until they
exceed the strength of the rocks COM
posing the crust and find relief in a
sudden rupture. The earthquake Of
one of these movements and the extent
Of the rift%sis described as extending
from the vicinity of Point Arena to the
neighborhood of San Juan, Benito coun-
ty, distance of 1856 miles.
THE evidence of the rupture, and Of
the differential movement is clearly de-
fined in a continuous furrow in the sur
face soil several feet wide. The aver
Isage horizontal displacement is twenty
| counties there is different vertical
| movement not exceeding four feet.
r. Latitude Is Changed.
"In consequence of this movement
the report goes Son to say, cit is prob
able that the .latitudes and longitudes
| of all points in the coast range have
been permanently changed few feet.
A complete study of the phenomena
will undoubtedly contribute greatly, not
only to our knowledge of the evolution
Of the earth IS crust but also to our
knowledge of the means of minimizing
the calamities which arise from the de-
Istruction of buildings and water pipes
when such shocks occur in the future.
l. : Modern classes Of structures appear
ITO have been relatively passive, while
( the made ground in their vicinity was
profoundly disturbed: The weak points
derpinning, lack Of bracing and the
ehimneys. Pipe lines on low, sWampy
ground or made up ground are in
greater danger of. destruction than
those ON high ground underlai'd. y 4.
:e=:.:. Made Ground Like jelly
i :-"1n San Francisco the most violent
destruction of buildings was on made
ground, which behaved as jelly in a
bowl. The minor shocks continued for
many days after April lS, and in this
respect the earthquake accords in be-
havior with other earthquakes in the
past. The minor shocks which succeeded
the main one are interpreted generally
as due to subordinate .adjustments.xof
the earth g crust in the tendency to
reach equilibrium after the chief move

EFFECT OF THAT BOYCOTT
Rock Island Gets Less Than Twenty Of
Two Thous md Cars Of Grain.
NUMBER COVERS The LOW RATE PERIOD
Secretary Mcvann of Exchange Says
Situation Has ResoIved Itself
Down 10 n Mere Matter
of Endurance.

Nothing has happened to change the sit
uation in the Rock Island boycott measure.
The low rates which have been applying
o6Sgrain to Chicago and the seaboard and
which nullihed for the time being the
detrimental effect to Omaha OF the Rock
Islands discriminating Kansas City Mem
phis equalization, became noneffective Fri
day at midnight, and Omaha grain buyers
are feeling the effect of the Rock Islands
hand. as they did for a short time before
the period Of low rates, Kansas City
grain men now have the best Of Omaha
buyers in the larger part of the Nebraska
territory south of the Platte, and the
latter are compelled to pay more than the
market warrants in order to keep the
grain from going to the rival town.
1T seems now to be simply a matter of
endurance" said Secretary e. ]. McVsnn
OF the Omaha Grain exchange. THE Rock
Island people have made. no sign to us
that they intend to retreat from their po-
sition and the Omaha shippers are GER
tainly holding to their determination not
10 show the offending road any consider
alton in the matter of shipments. We are
watching with interest TO see what the
Rock Island will do, as the thing cannot
continue forever in the present status.
''The Omaha commercial bodies have re-
ceived no notice OF an additional cut in the
minimum Kansas City-Memphis propor-
tional, although Mr.. Biddle recently said 1t
might be necessary TO make another re-
duction In order that the Rock Island might
get as much Nebraska grain as it wanted.
Eject of the Cut.
'If this cut should come It would bring
the proportional" from sR cents to ~ cents
and would afford the cents advantage
the Rock Island figured on when 1t made
the first cut, which was, in effect, reduc-
ton of only IA cents, by reason of the
fact that the payment of elevation allow
ance was abolished at Kansas City. In
such a contingency we will have great
hopes in the Illinois Central, which in
self-protection ought to come in and make
rate which, would bring the graip over
it's lines. That road was very much put
out over the recent action of the Rock
Island. and though TO the present 1t has
declined to engage In a rate war, its off,
cials probably Will refuse to sit idly by
while another encroachment is made"
One proof that the boycott of Omaha on
the Rock Island is effective is found on
the books of the Omaha Grain exchange.
They show that out OF about 1000 cars of
grain shipped east from this city during
the twelve days of low rates less than
twenty cars went over that road.
