Two Shocks Bring Citizens of
Los Angeles and Other
Cities Scurrying Into
Streets
BY R. A. DONALDSON.
United Press Staff Correspondent
Los Angeles, Cal., July 23.—Movie
queens, film heroes and all the color
ful Hollywood community were hurl
ed from their beds and fled to lawns
and sidewalks in filmy night attire
shortly before midnight when all
southern California was rocked by
two earthquakes which lasted over
six seconds.
Little damage was done in Los
Angeles or vicinity, although the
quake was the most severe In three
years. •
Beach cities suffered a particularly
heavy shaking.
The shock occurred at 11:27 p. m. *
Sunday night.
Prisoners in jail here were thrown'
Into a panic and shouted like mad
dened cage animals as the walls
rocked.
Throughout the city, persons
frightened by the quake rushed to
the streets. Late pedestrians were
thrown from their feet.
Chief damage here and at Holly
wood was to plaster and modesty.
Exposure of movie colony night life
was complete in some instances.
Riverside Hard Hit.
In downtown Los Angeles there
was great excitement. The negro
janitor in the United Press offices
felt the walls shaking, heard a tre
mendous rumbling and thought that
bandits had blown the safe. He
rushed out with drawn revolver
shouting to the yeggs to surrender.
No fires were caused here, but the
entire Los Angeles fire department
was on the alert for the first alarm.
The trembling was most severe at
Riverside, where many persons were
thrown from their feet.
Typical of the pranks reported
from all points were those of a sharp
tremor in Los Angeles. Here the brief
shock stopped clocks, set off burglar
alarms, rattled and broke dishes and
cracked plaster.
Artesian wells on the Warren ranch
south of San Bernardino which had
not flowed for years, gushed forth
: immediately after the quake.
| Trees were reported to have top
pled over a strawberry flat. The Hill
creek road into Bear valley was
blocked by fallen rock and dirt.
Several hundred patients in the
Loma Linda sanitarium, near San
Bernardino were alarmed when plas
ter crashed from the walls and chem
ical containers In the laboratory
burst with loud reports. The patients
were quieted and an examination of
all disclosed that none had been hurt.
Other cities and towns which re
ported shakes and slight damage
were San Diago. Pasadena, Long
Beach, Santa Ana, Mojave, Arrow
head Springs, Riviera, El Centro,
Santa Monica, Santa Barbara, Ven
tura, Glendale, Eagle Rock, Riverside
Monrovia, Pomonia, Antheim, San
Jacinto, Hemet and Barstow.
Reports had it that tremors ihad
been felt in the northwestern part ov
Arizona, but there had been no con
firmation this morning as telegraph
and telephone service into that dis
trict from Los Angeles failed.
Telephone messages from Lake
Arrowhead, in the San Bernardino
mountains said there was no damage
there, although the earthquake was
heavy. Many guests of the resort
spent the rest of the night out of
doors. Forest rangers near Lake
' Arrowhead reported feeling the
shocks.
