House Reported Damaged

Santa Barbara, Calf. July 5 tEn-- It Is reported that the Manic Man sion of c. K. Buliings, wealthy race horse man. located on one of the hills just east of the ctiy. was dam aged in the quake that rocked this city this morning. The Billings home was only slightly damaged in Mon- day tremors.
 Investigation shows that the earlier reports regarding damage to the Killings home were exaggerated con- slderably. The home was shaken badly but did not collapse. Consid- erable plaster and brick coping fell, but police reports say the damage is not serious.
 Bricks fell along State street where workmen are clearing away debris.
 At the old mission also, some bricks and mortar tumbled down.
 Reporters of the Santa Barbara News made nasty survey of the city and found only nominal damage. The towers of the old mission shed a few more pounds of stone and mortar and the walls were cracked R little more, but the old structure still stands as 1t did after the heavy quake of Monday.
 St. Anthony's college and the St. Francis hospital which were badly wrecked Io Iast MCrdov's earth quake, suffered little additional dam age. Both are still standing. In one or two places plumbing was wrench ed and broken but the power lines and gas pipes that had been repair. ed were not disturbed.
