Besides this .the patrons, while disclaiming any feeling of fear because of the weird pre- | diction, are making their exit from the city, giving as an excuse that service without servants deprives the resort of all its attractions. Complying with the appeal Chief Moore has set his nautical experts to work fig- uring on the probability of a “high pres- sure” on the waters of the Atlantic in the month of August. So far this Investiga- tion has not located the wave and the Atlantic City hotel proprietors will be assured of this fact by an official bulletin soon to be issued by the Weather Depart- ment. LAW TAKES THE LIFE OF CHINESE MURDERER Chien Eong Accends San Quentin’s Gallows With a Firm Step. SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Aug. Chien Kong, a Chinese murderer, whose victim was a fellow countryman, was hanged here this morning. Two hundred and fifty persons witnessed the hanging. The trap was sprung at 10:35 o’clock and ten minutes and thirty seconds later life was pronounced extinct. Chien Kong shot a Chinese who had stolen his wife. When his case came to trial he pleaded guilty end Judge Carroll Cook sentenced him without a trial. This was the second case of its kind on record in California. The Chinese walked with firm, quick step upon 1e the gallows and only one minute and thirty-five seconds elapsed from the time he left his cell until the trap was sprung. PORTLAND, Aug. 1.—Oliver C.

Franz Josef Land is about 500 miles from. the north pole, but inasmuch as it is un- known how far north Baldwin established his camp, it is impossible to say how much of an advance he made poleward. ““This route was first tried in 1869 by the Austrian Thegthoff expedition, of which Payer and Wyprecht were leaders. ' They named Franz Josef Land in honor of their Bmperor and explored it to about the eighty-third degree, north latitude. Nan- sen returned from his last Arctic expedi- tion by this route. He started for the pole from Nova Zembla and then followed the course in which the Jeannette had drifted years before in the direction of the pole. When he thought he was bein, Sravm away from the pole he changeq his course and made a dash northward, but was later obliged to retreat.

ENDED Veteran Official Permanently Quits His Post in San Quentin Prison,, SAN RAFAEL, Aug. 1.—Captain John C. Edgar, who for the past twenty-three years has had charge of the inside yard in San Quentin prison, quit his post to- day, in accordance with his recent resig- nation. His position, which is known as inside captain, was one of the most important at the prison and so efficlently has Captain Edgar performed his dutles under six Wardens that at the beginning of each administration he was asked to retain command of the yard. The inside captain comes into contact with the most desperate of the convicts, but never during the many years of his service has Edgar feared an attack -or shirked his duty In repelling disorder.. " Captain Edgar is 68 yvears old. He and his family will leave San Quentin in a few days for the East where they will remain several months, | Town. | That Few Substantial Struc- EARTH SfILL ~ ARG “NEATH 03 ALAMOS Light Shocks Continue to Frighten the Populace. PR TR Landslide Blocks Highways| WNear the Stricken Resume of the Damage Done Shows tures Suffered | Greatly. A e Spectal Dispatch to The SANTA BARBARA, Aug. 1 ‘hrough- out the day until 3:10 o'clock this after- noon, occasional slight earthquake shocks were felt in Los Alamos Valley. A report from Los Alamos at 9 o'clock to-night gaid that no shocks had occurred since | 3:10 o’clock,, The wagon road over what is known as the Los Alamos grade, extending over the | mountain into the valley, is in bad con- dition. Tons of boulders and dirt have | been thrown from higher evelations and persons arriving in los ‘Alamos from Lompoc this evening report having had great difficulty in making their way over | dangerous places. Professor Larkin of Mount Lowe ob- servatory arrived In Los Alamos this evening. He said the disturbances were | of a nature known as oscillatory earth- | quakes and were common. It is quite | probable they were due to the sudden dis- | placement of immense bodies of gase: seven or eight miles heneath the surface of the earth. ‘While the country about Los Alamos i glves evidence of once having been the scene of great volcanic action, Professor | Larkin observes nothing to indicate that another great upheaval of that nature is likely to occur. Professor Hilgard, head of the agricul- | tural department of the University of | California, who telephoned to Attorney | Leslie advising him and the people of | Tos Alamos to desert their homes for, laces of safety, and whose statements | gl\‘e been attributed to President Ben- | jamin Tde Wheeler, under a misapprehen- | Sion; has written to Leslie that the ad- | vice was glven as a precautionary meas- ure _and not in anticipation of further earthquakes. EXTENT OF REAL DAMAGE. | I Some of the early reports of the damage | done by the earthquakes in this vicinity | were exaggerated. It is an undeniable | | fact that there have been an unprece- | | dented number of earthquakes, some of | them severe, but the reports of great fis- | sures in the earth, upheavals of the earth and similar stories of the havoc wrought by the temblors have been overdrawn. Several landslides have occurred ane one of them, about nine miles northeast of Lo oc, displaced an enormous body of | earth which siid into an isolated canyon. The nature of the earth in this section is conducive to such phenomena, being of a shale formation and very. soft. | ‘Within the town limits, it must be ad- mitted, considerable dama.%e resulted from the earthquakes. The Presbyterian Church, a small building with a frontage | of about twerty-five feet and a depth of | thirty-five, is a ruln. The front wall col- lapecd and the side walls are so_badly bent as to render them unfit for future RRERERE RRRERS RRRRy PRERRRY RRRRRRREL RN RERRRR RRRRY RERRRRe, EREERRRR RRURE BRRREERRENRY use. The brick walls of Wickenden's general | store are partially demolished and will CHIMNEYS COME DOWN. The residence of Dr. Graham was badly. damaged, it being a brick dwelling. His furniture was damaged, and it is esti- mated that his loss will aggregate $1000. The = majority of dwellings sustained | losses in’ chinawaré and bric-a-brac. So far as reported no one was seriously hurt during the disturbances. Dozens of chimneys were shaken to pleces, some of them falling through pa- per-liKe roofs into the rooms below, badly frightening the occupants of the houses. The stock of Pearson's store was dam- aged and one or two of the larger places of business suffered considerably, but $6000 will pay for all of the damage done in the town proper. The greatest loss was sustained by the Western Union Ol Company. Two of its 14,000-gallon tanks were destroyed, releas- ing the ofl, which rushed down the hiil on which the tanks stood into a little ravine and out into Santa Ynez River. ;121& loss to the ofl company amounts to Several slight shocks were experienced this morning™ but no damage beyond further dismaying the inhabitants re- sulted. Last night a number of the more timid remained out of doors, wrapped in their blankets, passing wakeful hours by the slde of immense log fires. It is expected that many of those who | have fled from town during the past few days will return. LOSSES AROUND LOMPOC. LOMPOC, Aug. 1.—The earthquake | shocks of last night did no damage, but the frequency of the vibrations, which commenced last Sunday night and have continued at intervals since, caused sev- eral chimneys to become so dangerous as to necessitate their removal. The rear portion of Hotel Arthur, a brick structure, was slightly cracked on Wednesday night } and one or two windows in the hotel were. ‘broken, but bevond the breaking of a few windows and the cracking of an occa- sional chimney little damage has thus far resulted in the town of Lompoc proper. A few miles north of town two im- mense water tanks, the property of a pri- vate water company, were demolis ed several davs ago, releasing ten thousand gallons of water, which escaped to & Iit- tle ravine close by.. Several heavy land- slides are reported from the mountains north of here and the roads were closed in one or two places. The roadmasters have large gangs of men at work. REASSURES LOS ALAMOS.

At 2 o'clock yesterday morning he received a long distan® cail from District Attorney Leslie of Los Ala- mos, asking him, on behalf of the people of the surrounding country, whether it | would not be advisable to immediately vacate the district. Professor Hilgard, who was for eighteen vears. State Geologist of Mississippi and is perfectly acquainted with the geologi- cal conditions of the country, forwarded a letter to-day to Atfarney Leslie, reas- | the residents of the shaken city | and expressing his bellef that the quakes | would not be of long duration. He gave | his explanation for the occurrence of the temblors in part as follows: | Tarthquakes outdide df nile regions are now fully accepted as readjustments of the equilibrium in the earth's crust which we know to coneist, mot of & solld rock strata, but rather of & congeries of blocks, bearing against cach other somswhat in the nature.of an arch, but imperfectly, as the numerous _‘‘faults’> found everywhere in mines, &nd-oft of them, Ordinarily the readfustments rendersd necesea; by the slow tut sure contractfon of e carth take place gradually, but sometimes some readjustment 1s tgo long deferred and the prove. block or blocks, miles in length at times, re- main In a state of delicately balanced, un- stable equilibrium, which may be disturbed by a very slight cause, sometimes even by a change in the barometric pressure. Now that the block of earth upon which you are situated has evidently fallen into its new place, I think the strong probabilities are that you are in for a protradted perfod of quiet. I should not advise you td move out through fear of more violent tembiors. g In a conversation concerning ‘the: re- ported volcanoes which ve come into action in connection with the recent se- vere earthquake shocks, Professor Hil- gard said: 7 The country about Los Alamos is very rich geologically In petroleum and asphaltum. Often these veins of asphaltum’ will become ignited from grass fires and will burn for years, emit- tng a dense biack smoke. The famous Red Rock near Santa Barbara burmed for many vears and was ‘considered a curiosity by the people of the district.. It is one of these asphaltum veins, recently lgnited, which the terrified -pe ve seem. The imerous yeins of asphaltum and ofl. prod the region about Fos Alamos ute to some extent to the Mabifity to shocks. It s not because the ofl or asphaltum has been taken out of the ground in -quantities great enough to cause -any ap- preciable difference. but because the asphaltum has a tendency to be constantly forced up from the interior of the earth and a consequent dis- ml'rlnse'men! of the surrounding ground takes place. To-Day’'s News Letter. A special feature recently added to the San Francisco News Letter is its automobile de- partment, which officially represents the Cali- fornia Automobile Club and the San Jose Automobile Club, and which contaius -every week much news of interest to drivers, owners and fanciers of horseless carriages. To-day's issue of the News Letter has more than its usual amount of good reading matter. The Old Newspaper Man deals again in an_efiter- taining manner with bonanza days. Polities are fully dealt with In the editorial section and in Campaign Echoes. The News Letter has a reputation for being cynical and satirical, a reputation fully borme out by its Town Crier department, where many bubbles of fraud and pretension are pricked. The alleged corre- spondence between Mary MacLane and Richard | Lo Galllenne is a stinging satire. The Looker On tells a host of good stories on prominent people, and Betsy Bird's entertaining soclety | Bossip is as readable as ever. In_drama, lit- erature. finance and insurance the News Letter is always to the fore. . A little red hair goes a long way through succeeding generations. HOME OFFICE STATEMENT.
