Los Angeles, July 16. Three se vere earthquakes here today threw the city and its suburbs into excite ment, indirectly caused a number of injuries to men, women and children and slightly damaged several build ings, chiefly old ones but none to a great extent. While the shocks seemed to center in Los Angeles, some of them were felt more than thirty miles away, but, as in this city, no material damage was reported from any other southern California city or town. An unusually warm morning pro duced from some citizens the remark, "good earthquake weather." It was said in jest and none was more sur prised than those who made the re- STATEMK.VT OF THE CONDITION THE LIVINGSTON LOAN & BUILDING ASSOCIATION VISITS HIS FATHER From Saturday's Dally. Mike Grassman of St. Louis, ar rived Tuesday evening to visit his father, Jacob Grawman whom he has not seen for nineteen years. Mr. Grassman is a traveling salesman, but at one time was in the mercan tile business at Schuyler. Grand father Grassman makes his 'home with his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Clara Grassman. He has been a helpless invalid for many months and Mrs. Grassman surely deserves great credit for the kindness and attention given to the aged man, who receives the best of care from every member of the family. When his son came in, the father did not at once recognize him as his. eyesigat is almost gone uul after a time he remembered his he was overjoyed and he could hard ly bear to have him out of h:s sight during his visit.

The entire proceeds of the dance platform at Fifth and Main go to the American Legion fund for use in purchasing and outfitting their new club home and so far as the mer chants are concerned it is far from being a money making affair for them. Tickets issued by the Bar gains Circus stores with purchases, mark when the first tembler" came at 14.: 10 in the morning. It felt much as does the sudden stopping of a street car, operated by an inexperienced motorman. only that the tembler produced the un pleasant sensation multiplied many times. Excitement, in many rases hyster ical. followed the first shock and had hardly been calmed when at 1:27 in the afternoon came the second, fol lowed two minutes later by the third. These two were sharper than that of the morning. Then the agitation of the citizens became prolonged and it was some, time afterwards before it was a case of "business as usual." Courts and other public places were scenes of near panic, some', people running for open air, some fainting, some stopping to pray. Many gath ered at street intersections waiting to see what would happen. Others who felt they must be on the way walked down" the middle of the streets with watchful eyes on the buildings. Many sought Pershing square in the heart of the downtown district as a sanctuary and remained for hours. Pictures were Jolted from hooks; mortar Jarred rfom brick walls and plaster from ceilings; cracks appear ed in some of the older structures, a water main was broken, a few cop ings and chimneys fell, part of an embankment collapsed, throwing dirt and bricks into the street and plate glass windows in some of the down town department stores were broken While the excitement was at Its height, rumors of horror traveled fast, but when it hai subsided there was not one report of any extensive damage done to any establishment, while the worst injury recorded was a broken leg, caused when a derrick fell on top of a building and struck an ellerly man. A chimney on a tall building just north of the Third street tunnel fell in such a manner that most of the bricks landed on the south side of thfc tunnel, although one fell through the top of a moving automobile, just missing the driver. The tunnel was closed for a time by the fire depart ment. A retaining wall near the entrance to the Hill street tunnel, used jointly by the city and the Pa cific electric railway collapsed. A woman in her haste to run down stairs and out of the house, sprained her ankle. Another woman rushing from a department store fell and cut her finger on a piece of plate glass window, shattered by the tremor. Another became so hysterical her neighbors sent her to the receiving hospital for treatment. A little girl playing near a busi ness structure suffered a three inch scalp cut when a piece of coping struck her. Similar instances could be multiplied. The morning tremor found the city council in session. One coun cilman moved adjournment. It was not seconded. Mayor M. P. Snyder later described the trembler as "Just a little appetizer". Slight damage' was done -in the way of falling plaster to the old court house and a crack was noted in the platform connecting it with the newer hall of records. Pigeons, which for years have made their homes in the tower of the court house, fled in a cloud after each shock, but each time returned. A crack was reported In the east!
