HILL GIVING WAY.
GREAT LANDSLIDE IN LOS ANGELES. THREAT TO TWO CITY SQUARES. MILLIONS OF TONS IN MOTION. (Received Saturday, 5.5 p.m.) LOS ANGELES, November 28. A landslide which three weeks ago began moving an inch daily, carrying a hillside comprising two city squares and threatening a row of buildings, a highway viaduct and the Los Angeles river beds, to-day rumbled 13J inches onward and badly frightened neighbouring inhabitants, despite the roping off of the endangered district. Millions of tons of earth and stone threaten to cover a wide area and to-days, movement precipitated rocks of the size of automobiles, causing an earthquakelike tremor and covering many streets with deep muddy slush. Several movie studies have day and night camera crews posted to film the landslide when it becomes fully loosened, which is expected at any moment.
