EARTHQUAKE AND FIRE WRECK SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco, April 19, 7:30 a. m.— Fire still raging; city partially de stroyed. Too early morning to learn definite at water front the exact sit uation. Boats and surbnrban running schedule time except Alemeda. Militia doing police duty, but city not under martial law. What seems to be a disaster that has practically wiped out the metro polis of the Pacific coast befell San Fransisco on the morning of April 18. At 5:10 that morning a mighty earth quake wrecked many buildings in the business center of the city and this was immediately followed by fire breaking out and spreading from the ruins to portions of the city not de stroyed by the earthquake. Accurate information as to the number of lives lost is not available, various reports coming yesterday that hundreds or maybe thousands had been killed. Coming at an early hour in the morning the business portion of town, where the earthquake was most severe, was not crowded with people and thus much loss of life prevented. To render the work of destruction more sure and awful the water supply plant was wrecked, leaving the fire departments powerless to combat the flames. A dispatch from San Jose at 11:45 Wednesday morning said: “The best and most accurate infor mation regarding the San Francisco earthquake indicates that the whole city is being destroyed by fire.” A report from Sacramento states school or by self culture are able to pass the examination In any four of the nine subjects required for a state certificate over and above the county first grade certificates, be excused from examination for the renewal of their first grade county certificate. Also that all strong teachers hold ing strong second grade county certi ficates, who by attending an approved summer school or by self culture are able to pass the required examination in the four first grade subjects over and above the second grade county certificates, may have their markings on their second grade county cartifi cates, accepted and made state grade county certificates, provided that such markings meet the requirements for a first grade county certificate.
