LOS
ANGELES,
March
11:
(1
p.m.)
Light
earthquake
shocks
continued
in
Southern
California
today
in
the
wake
of
the
terrifying
quake
which
early
last
nght
caused
the
death
of
at
least
140
persons,
injured
4,000
and
property
damage
estimated
at
$35,000,000
of
which
$25,-000,000
was
at
Long
Beach.
There
were
23
distinct
shocks
but
generally
of
diminishing
intensity
and
it
is
believed
the
worst
-
of
the
shocks
are
oyer.
Most
of-tho
death
and
do
sruction
was
confined
to
the
violent
initial
shock
,
which,
accompanied
by
a
peculiar
roar,
rocked
the
section
at
5.55
p.m.
yesterday,
shaking
down
the
walls
of
buildings
and
starting
fires
which
fortunately
were
soon
under
control.
Some
of
this
morning's
shocks
jarred
more
debris
loose
from
buildings
in
the
practically
wrecked
business
section
of
Long
Reach,
twenty
miles
south
of
here,
which
seemed
to
be
the
quake
centre.
At
least
71
were
killed
at
Long
Reach
and
a
thousand
injured.
With
the
business
buildings
practically
uninhabitable,
Iing
Reach
was
the
scene
of
emergency
relief
work.
Hundreds
were
temporarily
homeless.
Compton
had
the
next
largest
number
of
deaths
with
18,
and
Huntington
Park,
16.
Five
were
killed
in
Los
Angeles
but
the
injury
list
here
was
about
three
thousand.
LOS
ANGELES,
March
11:
(8
a.m.)
Southern
Cali-'
fornia
was
rocked
by
a
scries
of
earthquakes
last
night
and
early
today
causing
deaths,
as
far
as
obtainable,
of
120
persons,
injuries
to
more
than
1,000
and
property
damage
estimated
at
millions
of
dollars.
i
Iong
Reach
felt
the
full
force
of
the
shock.
Sixty-five
arc
reported
dead
there
and
a
thousand
injured.
In
this
city
12
arc
dead
and
3,000
injured.
Several
buildings
at
Iing
Reach
were
wrecked
and
also
in
Los
Angeles.
At
Compton,
between
here
and
Long
Reach,
13
were
killed.
The
quake
zone
extended
200
miles
south
from
here
and
.SO
miles
inland
from
the
coast.
At
San
Diego
there
were
a
few
casualties.
The
first
shock
rocked
the
country
at
five
minutes
to
six
last
night
and
the
sixteenth
severe
shock
was
recorded
at
eleven
minutes
past
one
this
morning.
It
w-i
the
most
severe
shock
in
fifteen
years.
The
cause
of
the
quake
is
supposed
to
have
been
a
faulting
of
the
earth
off-shore.
So
great
was
the
vibration
here
that
the
needle
of
the
seismograph
jumped
off
the
disc.
The
first
shock
lusted
fully
a
minute.
Ruildings
swayed
and
cracked,
people
poured
into
the
streets
and
some
jumped
through
windows,
in
a
number
of
cases
injuring
themselves
in
doing
so.
The
oil
wells
at
Signal
Hill
took
fire
und
the
blaze
could
lc
seen
forty
miles
away.
The
hospitals
of
the
whole
of
this
part
of
the
country
are
crowded
with
patients,
many
of
whom
were
injured
as
a
result
of
being
frightened
into
jumping
from
win
dows
or
being
otherwise
the
victims
of
fright.
Among
the
victims
were
a
number
of
young
children.
The
city
hall
here
is
damaged.
At
the
jail
the
prisoners
shrieked
to
be
let
out
but
none
were
injured
and
the
building
remains
intact.
Throughout
the
city
and
district
the
doctors
were
quickly
marshalled
and
the
injured
were
given
treatment
