TALKS ON EFFECTS
OF THE QUAKE.
Professor Derleth of
: Berkeley Says Faulty
, Buildings Suffered
EXHIBITS PICTURES
\u25a0 . BERKELEY. Aug. 9. — "The Destruc
tive Extent of the San Francisco Earth
"q.usl£* o.f 1906" Is the title of a lecture
ij^iivered tonlgrht at Hearst Hall by
Proreesor Charles N. Derleth Jr.. of the
department of engineering of the State
i'.n-iyersity. Professor Derleth has made
a careful study, with the members of
the Structural Association of San Fran
cisco, of the buildings left in San Fran
cisco to Jisceriaiu what effect the Sre
and the temblor had on various forms
.of construction and sorts of materiaL
The results of this Investigation were
embodied In Professor Derleth's lec
ture.- Stereoptlcon views were used to
illustrate the points made by the
Speaker.
, The pictures showed the effects of
jhe -earthcrjake from the region of
Hiimboldt County in the north, along:
the :coast southward to the neighbor
hood ot Salinas and Monterey in ..he
FOCth. Mr. Derleth's hearers were con
ducted along the fault line, or earth-
Q-uake crack, from Fort Ross through
Tpmales Bay and Bolinas: then, through
the property of the Spring Valley
Watec Company, alons its reservoirs
of] San Andreas and Crystal Springs,
end So the regrion of San Jose and Chit
tenden station, where the Pajaro bridge
was considerably damaged because it
stands right on the fault line.
• Professor Derleth showed that struc
tures were considerably damaged when
ori the fault line, but that the amount
of damage was in direct proportion to
the gTade of construction. Excellent
structures by the Crystal Springs dam.
a huffh masonry dam of concrete, were
little, if at all. harmed by the earth
tremors, despite the fact that they were
wit:iin one-quarter cf a mile of the
earthquake rift.
" The Spreckels sugar mill was re
ferred to by the speaker as a most ex
cellent type of construction which
withstood the earthquake remarkably
well. A number of views in the Mis
sion district and along the water front
in San Francisco were also shown, ex
hibiting the characteristic surface de
formation upon filled or artificial
ground. It was clearly shown that
upon this treacherous, incoherent
and unsettled material, brick buildings
well built and frame buildings with
first class foundations remained practi
cally intact. It was In these localities
that cheap brick buildings with lime
mortar and an utter lack of bracing
of the oiiter walls to the floor framing
a.r.d roof, were so generally crippled.
Views of Santa Rosa were shown.
The* brick buildings there, with few
exceptions, were .lacking In strength
according to Professor Derleth, and
the lime mortar used was especially
bad, he paid.

Asks Alameda Women's
Clubs to Form Council.
Mrs. Swift Shifts
Activities to
Berkeley.
BERKELEY, Aug. 9. — Shifting, for
the time, her activities as presi
dent of the National Council of
Women of the United States from
San Francisco to Berkeley, Mrs. Mary
Wood Swift is planniug the organiza
tion of a local council, which is to
include all the women's clubs on this
side of the bay, whether the clubs be
of social character or organized for
intellectual or other purposes.
There has been no such council of
women's organizations in Alameda
County, and announcement of Mrs.
Swift's purpose to suggest the weld-.
Ing together of the clubs has created
a deal of talk and endless discussion.
Hitherto Ebeli of Oakland and the
Town and Gown Club of Berkeley and
all the other clubs which women have
founded in the couV.ty have maintained
more or less friendly relations, but
with no pretense at formal co-opera
tion.
Mrs. Swift would change all this.
She worked with other famous women
leaders of the land in uniting- the fer
n! inine forces contained in club organi
i zations, and declares that, as of old,
j "unity is strength," and if the women's
I clubs of Alameda County want to do
I great things for women, the best way
Is to j?et into the fold and be part of
the National Council of Women, of
I which ehe is president.
All clubs are eligible, explains Mrs.
i Swift, whether their aims have to do
with religion, or philanthropy, educa
tion, literature or social reform. If
the Ebell and the Town and Gown, the
Twentieth Century and the Home clubs,
with all the others of Alameda County,
will only. form a local council, subor
| dlnate in a way to the national coun
j dl, Mrs. Swift will be happy, for she is
I confident that each club will gain in
| strength by the affiliation and mcl;
; dentally the prestige of the national
I council will- be increased by that much.
