LARGE CRACK
 IN HILLSIDE
 NEAR JUNEAU
City Authorities Issue Warn ing That More Than Hun dred Houses Are in Danger From Landslide

JUNEAU, April 15.-Warning has been issued by Mayor R. K. Robert son through Chief of Police T. E.. P. Keegan and Street Commissioner Morley to the owners of more than dozen houses on lower Front street that crack in the hillside back of their buildings may develop into a serious landslide that might prove fatal to them and demolsh their buildings. This warning was issued immediately after the crack was dis covered but as far as can be learned has net been needed.
 The crack begins about 200 feet up on the hillside and about 250 feet south of a point opposite the hillside more than 100 feet. then down again to point about 200 feet south of the starting point, making a crack in the shape of a horseshoe approximately 200 feet across The width of the crack varies from two and a half feet to six inches and ob- servers report that it widened at least three inches during one night.
 Mayor Robertson accompanied by Chief of Police Keegan and Street Commissioner Merely went to the scene and examined it and then gave their warning. The high pressure water line that runs along the hill side was ordered emptied at once so that in case of a slide there would be no flood with it.
 From survey made it would seem that more than an acre of surface soil is slipping away from the bed rock and according to the city of ficials the danger is very real for a slide and it becomes more imminent as more rain falls, for the surface water runs into the crack and tends to loosen the surface soil from the l bedrock.
 The houses threatened are more than dozen in number including several private houses and several small cigar stands on the upper side of the street and the place known as Roberts Row on the lower side.
 Watch is constantly being kept 1 by officers for the lhreata1cl slide measurements taken and the general outlook kept in hand but nothing can be done to relieve the situation ex- cept to repeat their warnings. The location seems to be a spot where at some past time there has been slide that brought down consider able loose dirt and debris.

Perkins, directing him to have arrange

One reason that Mrs. Hooper had al

because both she and Henry and the

so many thing themselves, that would
