HOW THE EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS
Of JULY | AFFECTED FRISCO
AND OTHER PARTS OF CALIFORNIA

dispatches to the Sacramento Bee)
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-Two
earthquake shocks-the heaviest since
the big shake of 1906 and separated by
only a few seconds-jarred the cen
trail portion of California and western
Nevada today. The first sharp shock,
experienced approximately at 2:01
o'clock, was followed within a few
seconds by one of similar intensity,
each lasting about five seconds. Only
trivial damage has been reported from
any section, but in San Francisco and
other cities in the affected area panic
seized crowds in stores and restau-
rants and there was pell-mell exodus
from the large buildings.
Follows New Lines.
One peculiar feature of the shock
was that it did not appear to follow
the old fault" in the earth's crust,
which has been the playground Of
temblors in the past, but extended
from the seacoast eastward to the
Sierras, including hitherto exempt
mountain areas. 1t was felt to the
northward of Sacramento, in the Sac
ramento valley, southwark as far as
Fresno and to the east at Carson and
Reno, New, the former place expert
encing the heaviest shock in its his
tory.
Some slight damage was done to
buildings in San Francisco. Heavy
stones in the cornice of the Mechanics
Bank building were moved slightly out
of alignment; superficial cracks were
made in several large Office buildings;
cornices of the new postoffice build
ing were disarranged, and minor DAM
age was done to the interior walls of q
number of other buildings.
Man Dies of Fright.
Within a few seconds after the first
shock many downtown buildings were
depopulated in a wild rush to the
streets. Telephone and telegraphiC
service was suspended for some min
utes because of the operators desert
ing their keys.
Herbert Hadley a lodging house in
mate, fell dead of fright, and some
cases of hysteria or of cuts or bruises
suffered in the semi-panic were treat
ed at the emergency and other hos
pitfalls.
Santa Rosa, which suffered a great
err disaster in proportion to it's size
than did San Francisco in the catas
trophe of 1906, scarcely felt today's
shock, further indicating that the

would be given the opportunity to do
advanced work. If our courses could
not supply them with the fitting ma.
terial there was the College of Ha-
wall right next door. Should such
persons qualify for the college they
were still to be cared for by the M,
p. l. for the promised period, and they
were to be amenable to the rules of
that institution as long as they lived
there. 1t seems wise just at this time
when the judges in Japan are settling
the qualifications of the candidates, to
reprint the rules as originally passed
upon.

Especial Correspondence OF the Starr
WASHINGTON, July 1.-Young
men ambitious to enter the United
States army need not depend upon
to West Point or Anna
polls. So great is the demand that
the Secretary of War has issued
general call, and any young man with
good moral standing, and who can
produce letters of reference, will now
be designated for the competitive
examination.
This unusual procedure is being
taken in the hope of filling the vacan-
cies in the grade of second lieutenant,
which have been created by the re-
cent increase, by authority of Con
gress, Of the official personnel of all
the fighting lines of the army. At
present there are 2S6 vacancies, and
only eighty-two of these will be filled
by the graduating class at West Point.
Only a few-perhaps not more than
a. dozen-will be filled from the ranks
this year, so there will be left APP
provimately 200 vacancies to be filed
from civil life. Particulars may be
obtained by addressing the Secretary
of War at Washington.

San Jose, another heavy sufferer in
1906, reported that the shock today
was the sharpest experienced since
that time, but that it did no serious
damage. Stockton and Fresno, in the
San Joaquin valley, were frightened
by the Earring, but there, as in Sacra-
mento where the state offices were de-
serted in a trice as result Of the
temblor, the damage to buildings was
trihing.
Severe in Carson.
In Reno, New, the shock was scarce
ly felt, but in Carson it was severe.
The federal court was in session in
the Nevada capital, and Judge, jury
and attorneys rushed post haste to the
streets.
At the Santa Clara College observa-
tory both reels were thrown off the
seismographs. They were immedi-
ately replaced, but the record of the
disturbance will be incomplete because
Of this action.
The mean time clock at the observa-
tory of the University of California
was stopped. for the first time since
the greas quake Of FIVE years age
The deep booming reverberation
which usually marks disturbances Of
a widespread character accompanied
the first tremor. In San Francisco the
grooming and creaking of the strained
steel structures in the downtown dis
trict played a larger part in frighten-
ing the populace than did the tremors.
Sharp on Tamalpais.
Word was received by the local
weather bureau from the sub-station
on Mount Tamalpais, 5000 feet above
the sea, to the effect that the sharpest
shock had been felt there since the
disaster of 1906. The mountain is
close to the fault" which opened dur
ing the April quake.
