LANDSLIDE DANGER
A MOVING HILLSIDE LOS ANGELES BUILDINGS THREATENED LOS ANGELES, November 27. A landslide which three weeks ago began moving an inch a day, carrying a hillside comprising two of the city squares and threatening a row of buildings, a highway, and viadiict and the Los Angeles river beds, today rumbled 13i inches onward and badlv frightened the neighbouring infibitante, in spite of the roping off of the endangered district. Millions, of tons of earth and stone threaten to cover a wide area and to-day's movement precipitated rocks the size of automobiles, causing an earthquake-like tremor and covering many streets with a deep muddy slush. ~ . Several movie film studios have day and night camera crews posted to film the landslide, when it becomes fully loosened, which is expected any moment.
