EARTHQUAKE DATA BEING CLASSIFIED B GOMMISSION Professor Andrew C. Lawson, presi- dent 8f the State Earthquake Investi- gating Commission, addressed the Fi- nance Commission yesterday afternoon and was granted $500 to pursue his work. The Commission, which has been ap- pointed by Governor Pardee, is made up of Professor Lawson, Professor of DISORDERS RE FEARED IN FRANCE Precautions Against Out® break Taken by Po_lic& PARIS, April 27.—The police adopted decisive measures this morning to ap- prehend the element which is foment- ing disorder and capture the source of ts supply. Early in the day a search was made of the headquarters of the Confederation of Labor and also of its fifty branches throughout the city. Simultaneously the police searched the | homes of a number of royalist sym- pathizers who were suspected of en- couraging disorder in the hope of ef- fecting a coup d’etat. The offices of La Croix, a reactionary paper, were also searched. Important papers, it 13 understood, were found at the homes of some of the royalists. The search of the headquarters of the Confederation of Labor ylelded negative results. The Prefect of Police, M. Lepine, this afternoon made a reassuring reply to hundreds of letters which anxious eiti- zens had addressed to the police. He sald that all precautions had been |taKen to maintain order in the streets on May 1 and prevent attempts against life or property. Besides the full police force, which will be on duty, reinforce- ments consisting of 28,000 infantry, cav- alry and artillery will arrive tonight, tomorrow and Sunday. These troops will be disposed through the city with precise orders. Special surveillance will be maintained over the water and gas conduits. In addition to'the troops mentioned, eight squadrons of cavalry reMeved in the mining regions have ght to Paris, and dragoons been brou and hussars are coming from many other points. In strike circles the men are much calmer. There has been no remewal of the disorders and the return of the northern iron workers to their fac- |tories indicates a partial breakup of |the movement in the mining regions. | The workmen in numerous additional trades have announced their adhesion the eight-hour movement, but the railroad men and employes of the pro- vision trades do not intend to strike. | The announcement this afternooon that the big department stores will remmin B ot 3 s open as usual served to reassure the esidio Hospltal, has City, ieology at the University of California, [public.

Does that resem- i ble an unreasonable rental?” | ‘Willlam Babeock of the Bank of Cal- ifornia, president of many large con- cerns, accompanied Mr. Howell to Oakland as a representative of the general committee of business men, which committee heard yesterday that (prompt action by the proper parties is needed to insure the return of the wholesalers to San Francisco and so Professor Lawson said that the inves- tigations made so far in the city have already given data which will be useful in the rebuilding of the city. Houses in the rocky and hilly districts suffered little, while most of the destruction occurred in areas of soft ground. This is cauSed by the great decrease in the rate of the vibrations when they strike ground. The soft ground acts like a viseous mass. Professor Lawson thinks that it will be possible to plat out the distriets where big buildings can safely be_ erected. Professor Lawson said that in the earthquake of Inyo in 1872, vibrations equal in violence to that of the late earthquake rocked the mountains for disturbances. ————— Insane Rescued at City Hall. The rescue of six of the insane held at the Central Emergency Hospital on the morning of the earthquake by the matron, Mrs. Kanme, and Policeman John McLean was one of the many acts of heroism of the catastrophe. When the western wing of the City Hall fell six insane prisoners were buried in the debris. Digging through the ruins, McLean and Mrs. Kane res- cued their charges and took them to the Presidio, where the unfortunates were held by the military authorities.
