EARTHQUAKE ON PACIFIC COAST
City of San Francisco in Ruins—
Many People Killed-—Loss
Runs Into Millions
Probably the most disastrous j
earthquake in the history of
America occurred at San Francis
co about five o’clock Wednesday
morning.
The latest reports from the \
stricken city sent out by the As-j
sociated Press states that the en i
tire city is doomed to destruction
by fire.
To add to the horror of the sit
nation, it is feared that at any
moment another violent shock may i
occur or that a tidal wave may j
sweep over the city.
I he hrst earthquake shock came j
at 5:10 a. m. coast time, vvliicit
about two hours earlier than out
time. This destroyed a number
of large buildings in the business
section, and all of the smaller'
frame and brick structures. Then
tire followed. The water mains
were burst by the catastrophe,
and it was impossible to tight the
flames. While the victims were
groping about the ruins, frantic
with horror and powerless to do
anything, a second shock came.
It is believed fully 1,000 per-1
sons have been killed. The total
loss will not be less than #40,000,
000.
The San Francisco Call building,
a sky scraper, collapsed and the
building was ruined.
Huge fissures were made in the j
earth in the main thoroughfares of
the city, and street car tracks
were torn and twisted by the up
heavel.
The Valencia hotel, a five story
structure, toppled over in the
street and 75 persons were killed
in the one building alone.
Three miles of railroad track is
reported to have sunk between
Suisun and Benelea.
It is reported that Berkley, Cal.
was also destroyed by the earth
quake.
