Show THE ROCKS EARTHQUAKE HUNDREDS ARE INJURED AND PROPERTY LOSSES PLACED AT OVER TWENTY MILLION Early Dispatches Report Quake Felt Parts of State; Build- ings Are Wrecked at Santa Barbara: City Flooded Los Angeles, Cal. At least sixty-fiv- e persons lost their lives, hundreds were injured and enormous property damage was caused by a series of earth tremors which rocked Santa Itarbara and surrounding territory early on the morning of June 2!tth. The quake reduced sections of Santa Barbara to ruins. Buildings were demolished, pavements uprooted and the collapse of Gibraltar dam, near the city, added to the panic and suffering. Santa Barbara and surrounding cities were isolated, with rail and wire communication paralyzed. Special trains left from Los Angeles and Sun Francisco with Red Cross and other relief. The quake was general throughout southern California, but apparently centered at Santa Barbara, where the damage and loss of life were greatest. Leading hotels crumbled to pieces and business blocks were in ruins. The first temblor was reported at 6:45 a. m. At Santa Barbara and other cities temblors shook the area at intervals at twenty minutes. Another tremble, less violent, shook Santa Barbara at 8:30 a. m. spreading further terror among inhabitants. Buildings were demolished and resorts damaged at Golita, Naples and other cities adjacent to Santa Barbara. The Southern Pacific station at Golita was split in two and tracks for niles thrown out of line. Airplanes and special trains were hastily dispatched to the stricken area with relief when reports of the disaster first filtered through. There are a number of tall build ings in Santa Barbara's business section and it is feared many persons lost their lives when these collapsed. State street, the leading thoroughfare, was completely" undermined and its shops, some of the finest in southern California, are in ruins. Ventura, Cal. Refugees from Santa Barbara arrived here shortly before noon and confirmed reports of the disastrous earthquake at Santa Barbara, which has taken an estimated lives and reduced toll of sixty-fivthe city to virtual ruins. At least half of the business places in downtown Santa Barbara were partially or completely demolished. E. B. llollister, an eyewitness, told the United Press. State street the main thoroughfare is a mass of wreckage. llollister said. Practically all of the larger buildings ol the city were levelled. The California hotel, a new five story stone structure, was wre'eked, only part of its inside walls remaining standing. Bedrooms were exposed and furniture scattered about the rooms. The San Marcos office building on State street was totally destroyed. The high buildings on Anapumu street was completely wrecked and the county hospital, two miles from the city, was parjially demolished. Several nurses were slightly hurt by falling debris, but the patients were safely removed. St. Voncent's orphanage was badly shaken, the walls were cracked and the roofing slid partly off. Nurses removed 150 children to a hillside nearby without casualties. The plant of the Southern California Edison company was partly wrecked. The generators were badly damaged and the city was without lights or power. Brick residents were destroyed, only frame structures standing the shock without ifiimage. Brick chimneys on wooden buildings were toppled. "The first tremor came suddenly at 6:45 and caused practically all of the damage," Molister said. "There were severe jolts every half hour afterwards for about three hours. Wo"The city is men are hysterical and have gathered their most precious possessions and huddled on the lawns of their homes or fled to the hills. "When I left about 10 o'clock there was no way of telling how many persons had been killed or Injured. e panic-stricken- BY CITIES CALIFORNIA In Many MONTANA VISITED .
