MANY ARE INJURED
SANTA BAHBAHA, Cal., June 2!!. Four persons
are known to have been killed and from 100 to 300 wero
injured in earthquake that shook this city at a.
in. today, damaging practically all structures in
the city mid wrecking several of the largest buildings.
The San Marcos building, the largest business struc
ture in the city, completely collapsed along one-third of
its length. The Arlington hotel and the St. Krmicis
hospital were partially destroyed.
One of the four known tlead, a Airs. Perkins, wifo
of a wealthy railroad man, was killed in the collapse, of
a wing of the hotel.
The other three persons killed were found in the
wreckage of business building! on Statu street. They
had not been identified at 11 a. in.
The earthquakes appeared to center in the business
district. There were two severe shocks at (5:10 and (i:l7
followed by about !20 others of minor violence.
Survivors of the San Francisco earthquake, of l'.Ml.l
residing in Santa Barbara declared today's shock exceed
ed the northern temblor in violence.
The twist of the quake broke water and gas main;;,
snapped telephones and telegraph wires and broke tho
reservoir supplying the city with water.
Breakage of the reservoir did not, however, cause,
any damage so far as known.
Telephone coiiimuiiieal ion with I.os Angeles that wan
restored about HI:.m when a single line in a garage wna
found to be functioning.
Stale street has been closed to traffic from the Ar
lington hotel to the beach, owing to the danger of badly
damaged business blocks collapsing.
It is feared that there may be considerable loss of
life particularly in the ruins of the Arlington hotel, ono
of whose walls collapsed like an egg shell.
The main sheet of Ihe city upheaved nnd buckled
