MO Heavy earthquake shocks continue In Santa. Barbara County, California. They became so violent at Los Ala mos, a town of 300 Inhabitants, that, nearly all of the people deserted their homes and proceeded to other towns. President Wheeler, of the University of California, advised them to move The disturbances are evidently due to a slip in the strata, of the earth. SANTA -BARBARA. Cal., July 3L The Inhabitants of the little town of Lcs Ala mos, -which ha3 been the center of seis mic disturbances since last Sunday, are tonight huddled around a huge bonfire. waiting for daylight to come. Many of the residents have left for places outside ward rh neighboring hill. The first vibrations were similar to the preceding disturbances in direction aad effect, but they were immediately followed by the most tcrrlfHc shock ever experienced In this section of the state. The earth trembled and rolled and twisted until it waa Impossible to stand erect,.- and the terror-stricken- people crouched together In the darkness, fearful that, the eartn beneath them might open, and swallow them up. BnlldlBga Shaken. DoVrn. The terror Inspired by the rumbling and trembling of the earth was Increased by the sound of falling buildings, which ar fords some Idea of the terrible destruction that wan belntr wrought. When the more severe ohock had passed and the rum bling sounds had died away In distant the people gathered In, groups about th ruins of their homes ana place; of business, and. when they saw the extent of damage done, many of them, fearful of a repetition of this terrible experience. Immediately started on foot or by such conveyances as couia be naa for places of safety. In the darkness of the night. It was Impossible to determine the full extent of the destruction brought, but with the dawn of day the village presented an appearance of the 'ruins of a city long deserted. A church had been leveled to the ground, and not one brick building was left standing. Chlmneyo had toppled over, frame buildings had been wrenched apart and thrown from their foundations; the telegraph and telephone wires had been broken, and there was not a building In town that had not been damaged more or less seriously. In store buildings that were not totally destroyed, the mer chandise was thrown from shelve, and everything breakable was destroyed. Not a pane of glass was left In any window of any house In town, and In the frame cottages and dwelling-houses that were left standing stoves were turned over and crockery and glassware was destroyed. The people have deserted the vil lage; every conveyance has been taken, and the passenger and freight trains that have left here since the severe shock last night have been loaded with people who are fleeing to Santa Maria and tno northern part of the. county for safety. Since the first disturbances on Sunday night, there have been over 70 distinct shocks, and those who have been keep Ing records have now abandoned the effort, ae the disturbance has become al most continuous. In the drug store of H. H. Tarrls, the bottled goods and glassware were thrown down, and the place completely wrecked. Kahn's saloon shared;, a like fate. The stores of Fred WlCkcnden and C. Plerson were badly shaken up. In some places the walls have caved In and merchandise smashed. A large safe In Wlckenden's saloon was overturned and. went" crashing through the floor.

Again, he declared that through this same system the railroads contrive to evade payment of a very large proportion of their Just obligation In the matter of state and county taxation, passing on their own proper burden to the general taxpayers, who, of course, must make up the sums In which they are delinquent. The state suffers, too, he said, under a system by which certain shippers, "friend ly to railroad interests." are favored as against their business competitors by the secret rebate trick.

SPOKANE, July 31. A Wenatchee spe cial to the Spokesman-Review says: From 10 o'clock yesterday momlng un til 9 o'clock at night, Harry Tracy, the notorious outlaw, was an unwelcome guest at the. ranch of W. A. Sanders and S. J. McEIdowney, six miles down the Columbia River. Tracy came out of the Cascades, riding one horse, 'with a pack on another, and leading , a third In re serve. Ho carried a "Winchester and two revolvers. He took dinner andsupper at the ranch, keeping tho men well covered with his rifle. ' Toward evening he forced McEIdowney to bring him two fresh horses and. turn loose his jaded anlraal3. Ho then took Sanders saddle and ordered McEIdowney to go with him to a. hand ferry 10 miles down the Columbia, but Mrs. McEIdowney began to cry. so Tracy said he would not Insist on that, and left alone. He threat ened that if his presence were made known he would return and do some kill ing. He headed south. The man tallied exactly with Tracy's (.description, even to the mole on his face. He gave a complete account of his ex perience since escaping from Salem, includ ing tho killing of Merrill and his narrow .escape from capture at Seattle.

July 3L The first Tracy story definitely connecting the outlaw with this side of the mountains was reported here today. Sim Evans, who owns a little ranch in Green Cayon, I? miles north of Ellensburg; made the statement whjch Sheriff Brown deemed Important enough to take the. trail. Last Monday, according to Evans, a man came to hi? cabin and said he was uracy. He "had a 20-30 Winchester, tw6 revolvers.

He asked the best route to the Columbia River, and rode off. but first warned Evans not to give him away.

A strip ot country 13 rallce long by four miles wide, rent with gaping fissures and dotted with hills and knolls that sprung up during the night, as if by magic; a village in ruins, and hundreds of people fleeing for their lives, are the results of last nlght'e seismic disturbance In the prosperous and fruitful valley of Los Alamos, In tne northern part of Santa Barbara County. During the last four days that section ot the county has been shaken by a serlea of earthquake that Is without precedent in tho history or tradition of the Pacific Coast, and the continuance of the dis turbances and increasing severity of the shocks have so terrorized the Inhabitants that thcy are leaving for other parts as rapidly as possible. The disturbances began Sunday evening with a shock which caused several hundred thousand dollars of damage to property In the village and the surround ing country. This shock was followed by a number of disturbances les severe and lees disastrous, continuing through the remainder of Sunday night and Mon day forenoon. Face of Conntry Changed. On Tuesday, night, beginning at 12:10 o'clock, there was another ccrles of seven shocks, all of which were light. Tho most severe fhock of the entire series occurred at 1:20 o'clock this morning, when the hills were shaken and twisted to their foundations and the valleys trem bled and rolled like the unstable surface of the ocean. Great flwsures were run 4n the earth, hills appeared In level valleys, springs of water opened up In places that had been dry. and the general topog raphy of tho valley was greatly changed In many respects. The disturbance had no general direc tion, but was what Is known as a "twister." It was preceded by a rum bling like that of distant thunder, which increased until the earth began to rock and twist and the hills began to tremble. With the first warning of the sound ot the approaching disaster, tne terror stricken people rushed into the streets and sought places of safety In vacant lots and fields, while many hastened to- cf California showing but a faint record T. L. Heaton of the University of Cali fornia, said: "While scientists are working on the theory of probable cause of the earth quakes in Santa Barbara County the ex act reason will probably never be known.

No Alarm at Santa Barbara. SANTA BARBARA. Cel.. July 21. A manage from John S. Bell, owner of the Los Alamos ranch, stated that the ranch house was scrlouvly damaged by falling plaster, loss of china, etc The oil wells at Caregar are believed to be uninjured. There havo - been no further shocks ot Santa Barbara. The latest reports Indi cate that the damage was confined to the Immediate vicinity of Los Alamos. One estimate, that of Captain Harris, places the lecs to be at S1O.000 or J11.000. The last shock during the morning was at -10:2s. Between 7 and 7:30 there were seven distinct shocks, and they were fol lowed by otht-rs at Intervals during the morning. A peculiarity of the disturb ances Is the limited area affected. Oniy two of the more severe disturbances have been felt In Santa Barbara, and did abso lutely no damage In this city. On thte account there is no alarm here. People Leave Homex In Night Robes. TEMPERE. Cal.. July 3L A terrific shock of earthquake occurred at 1:20 o'clock this morning, followed at 1:10 o'clock by a lighter shock. Buildings rocked violently, and people rushed from their homes in their night robes. .The first shock lasted several seconds, and a number of .buildings damaged by Sunday nlg"ht's shock are on the verge of collapse. People remained on tho streets all night, fearing to return to their homes. Another Heavy Shock at Santa Maria SANTA MARIA, pal., July 31. Another quite severe earthquake chock was felt here at 7:25 P. M. No damage was done. Two families arrived this afternoon from Los- Alamos, fleeing from the terrifying shocks almost continuously felt there. It Is reported a reign of terror holds sway there, end that more 1 amines are pre paring" to leave. I would encourage them In every legltl mate way, precisely as I would any other large and Important business interest. I have the same consideration for property In tho form of railroads as for property in other forms; and I would treat it in precisely the same spirit of fairness and liberality. And upon the basis of this gen eral statement he set forth the conditions nnd considerations back of the agitation for a railroad commission to which he has given himself with a most potential energy. The attitude of the railroads in Wash ington politics, he declared, had been a public scandal ever since the admission of the state into the Union and even before that time. It has been the shame of every Legislature for many years that a railroad lobby hao hung about Its skirts always corruptly Influencing If not posi tively dominating Its proceedings. Thero is not, ho went on, a man In the State of Washington of any acquaintance with af fairs at Olympla during the "past several years who Is not convinced that railroad bribery, either in cash or in other forms, is one of the continuing evils of the politi cal life of the state. It dominates legis lation, influences largely If It does not control the election of state representa tion at the National capital, corrupts even county elections, makes a farce of self government, and In doing all this. Involves the state In material injury and moral reproach. Proceeding to details, the Governor set forth the general historical situation pretty ' much as lelated In my letter of two days ago, written from Spokane. Ev ery intelligent man In Washington, he de clared, knows that the railroads have adroitly defeated every effort to establish ally made the means of corrupting both the business nnd the political life of the state in the interest of railroad domlna. tion. Men who would scorn to take money and who could not be reached by the ordinary methods of Influence were brought Into the railroad camp by a free pass or a rebate on freight so bestowed as to give them an advantage over their competitors, all this being nothing moVe or less than bribery In subtle forms. Tho Governor argues his case well up on the basis of these charges. As a citi zen of Washington, he says, I am out raged by these practices and resentful against them, and a3 the Governor, charged with a large weight of responsi bility, I am obligated to do what I may to bring about a Juster and better state of affairs. Under official responsibility I am trying to Justify and make good my pledges as a candidate; and I am not permitting aiy stiff-necked notions of personal or official dignity to inter fere with the practical efficiency of my work. I went to Spokane because I be lieved the railroad influence would try to defeat the wish of the people there and I am convinced that good came of that Journey. I hope It will not be necessary for me to attend any other county con vention, but If It shall seem to be so If It shall appear that I can serve this cause by taking off my coat I shall take It off. I want to win this fight be cause It Is In my Judgment a ' Just fight. a fight In which the Interests and the In tegrity of the state are Involved and to which my honor as on official and as as a man are pledged. DR. ADAMS' WEALTH. I have stated the Governor's position In detail because details are essential to a fair understanding of it. Ho 13 primed for a fight: there Is no mistake as to that: but he earnestly disclaims any pur pose beyond the correction of what he calls gross and glaring abuses. I asked him why he Insisted upon a commission, why he did not seek redress by applica tion to tho Legislature which has all the powers possible to be given to a Railroad Commission? His answer to this was that as matters now stand nobody, and least of all a general Legislature, Is competent by special knowledge to legis late fairly on a question which calls for expert acquaintance with the matters to be adjusted. A Legislature attempting to handle these matters would have to work very largely In the dark and It would be so subjected to the arts and Influences of the railroad lobby that a wise and fortunate result could hardly be expected from It. The matter has been before tho state Legislature In one form or another now for 12 years or more and as Influences stand arrayed there Is little hope for prompt and effi cient action at the hands of that body. The practical way. In Governor Mc Bride's opinion, is to endow a carefully selected commission with power to In vestigate conditions, to establish rates and regulations upon the basis of the knowledge thus gained and to enforce its own adjustments. He has written to the Governors of many states where Concluded on Page 8.) Bequeathed R150,000 to University, bat Left Only $30,000. MADISON, Wis.. July 31. The estate of Dr. Charles Kendall Adams, who In hl3 will provides for the endowment of the University of Wisconsin with 5150.000 In fellowships, Is estimated by one of the executors of the will at only 530.000. Tho endowment of the fellowships can be made, in accordance with the provisions of the will, only when that amount has been accumulated by interest upon the 530.000 principal.
