SCIENTISTS MAP
CALIFORNIA RIFFS
Three Great Earthquake
"FauIt" Zones Are Sur
veyed by Society.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 11.-Tnree
great earthquake faults, or riffs, IN
California, one of which may have been
responsible for the Southern Califor-
mia quake are mapped by the Selsmoiog-
ical Society of America.
They are in the San Andreas, a 6oo-
mile rift, and two shorter ones, the Ell
sinore and San Jacinto riffs.
The San AndreaS fault extends from
Mendocino County, on the Northern
California Coast, south into Mexico. IL
runs through the Pacific Ocean from
Point Delgardo to Point Arena; tnence
down from Fort Ross, Tomales Bay,
Bolinas Bay, San Francisco and through
the Santa Cruz Mountains down the
westerly slopes of the Coast Range back
of Santa Barbara: through Elizabeth
Lake, Palmdale, and the north side OF
the Sierra Madre, Is miles northeast OF
Los Angeles; through the San Bernar-
dino Range; across the desert; through
Salton Sea in the Imperial Valley ana
into Lower California, Mexico.
Important Shock Source.
The Elsinore fault, credited as an I'M
portant source of shocks, EXTENDS
enthusiastically in practically straight
line along the eastern base OF the Santa
Ana Mountains from near Pomona 10
the Santa Margarita River, at least a
distance of more than so miles.
The San ,Jacinto fault is an impor-
tant zone of crust dislocation extending
enthusiastically along the western front
of the San Jacinto Mountains probably
well into Lower California, a distance OF
200 miles. >,
LOS Angeles, according to the map,
the Seismological Society report says
"is situated in a maze of dead faults,
It is probable that those short faults,
the valley plains from the mountains
are likewise shown as dead on the map
It is probable that these short faults,
which have been located by geologic
studies of the strata or by drill records
are inactive They have no EXPRESSION
in the topography. Others, which are
to be traced in the topography. are po-
tentislly active. though no movements
have been recorded in them during MS
toric time"
Shocks Along the Coast.
The report says an active short rl1t
through Inglewood is shown because OF
quake at that point in 1920, and that
west of Los Angeles. the coast, wnere
it trenos east and west is also defined
by rift. known as the Santa Monica
fault. which extends eastward along
the base of the mountains Through
Hollywood around the Los Angeles
plain"
Certain shocks felt at points along
the southern coast between the Santa
Barbara region and the San Diego re-
gion seem surely to have been gener-
ated at sea-" the report saws, "and con-
seuuent1v vague term. the San PEDRO
submarine fault zone, is employed"

ward, deputy director of public works.
The United States fleet, stationed at
San Pedro, lost no time in eng ging in
relief work. Four thousand Marines
and sailors, with officers, were immedl-
ately sent ashore in Long Beach and
San Pedro to assist in disqualification,
housing, feeding and sanitation meas
ures.
From Washington came announce
ment that full forces of American re-

in the earthquake area. The Army
Navy and Public Health Service were
ordered to take whatever steps might be
necessary to protect human life and
property.
Admiral Richard H. Leigh, COM

alton under control and that no help
would be needed.
The Governor. before leaving Sacra-
mento, announced he was considering
declaring state of emergency. This
would necessitate calling of the State
Emergency Relief Council into action
and would make $4,000 Immediately
available.

TERROR AND RUSH
PICTURED IN QUAKE
Long Beach Janitor Dodges
Bricks-High Naval
Officers Flee.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LON GBEACH, Calf. March IA
story of how he lodged falling bricks
and ran for his life was told today
by c. A. Williams. janitor of the Ideal
Laundry on Anaheim Boulevard, the
section of Long Beach hardest hit by
the earthquake.
Il was in the boiler room" said Will
liams, when it struck. A table and
several bags OF laundry rushed at me
as l dashed for the exit They prob
ably helped me get out Then lodged
falling brick as 1 went to the street"
Mrs. Naomi Ellers. bookkeeper for
the laundry, was killed when she ran
from the office of the building She
was crushed under an avalanche OF
brick. Had she remained in her office,
she would have lived for the Office was
the only room in the building which
remained intact
Williams said had the quake struck
half an hour earlier it would have
caught 20 women at work.
Holiday Saves Many.
only the fact that the banking
holiday had slowed business almost to
standstill limited the number in the
laundry" he stated.
We searched through what was left
Of the building and couldn't find
Mrs. EllerS and then I saw a piece of
her dress showing through the pile of
brick.
Her husband, a driver for the COM
pany had just brought his truck in at
the rear and also escaped.
1T was awful. They took butcher
from that grocery store half block
down the street and a fellow running
a lunch counter up east got caught,
besides several others.
The Villa Riviera, 16-story hotel,
where most of the high ranking officers
of the Navy reside. swayed violently but
suffered no more than few cracks and
fallen plaster.
Admiral Richard H. Leigh, COM
mander in chief of the United States
Fleet, after rushing down the stairway
with most of the other 400 occupants
and out into the street, returned to his
suite around midnight in disdain of
the succeeding shocks, which continued
through the night.
Tells of Race Down Stairs.
George Kingrea, assistant manager
Of the Villa Riviera, one of the tallest
apartment buildings in Southern Cali
exit of the naval officers when the first
shock came.
THE elevator stopped and everybody
rushed down the stairs and out into
the street. The bellboy stuck right on
the job and went through the rooms,
clearing them of people"
As he spoke another sharp tremor
rocked the concrete reinforced struc-
ture.
That's the way it was, only worse
I wanted to get out of here but couldn't
and I wasn't sure but what the end
was at hand I didn't see how the
building could stand. Those outside
said the tower must have swayed sew
eral feet. When we did get out in the
street we saw a two-story apartment
of brick across from the Pacific Coast
Club with the front completely broken
away. Fortunately, it went before any
Of the occupants could dash out the
doorway and as a result their lives
were spared"

Carnegie Institution Expert
Warned CaIifornians to
Build Carefully.
Ry thu Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, March l1.-Warn.
ing to Southern California architects
and engineers that they should prepare
for strong earthquakes was sounded in
August, 1925, by Harry o. Wood, re-
search associate in seismology OF the
Carnegie Institution of Washington
and vice president of the Seismological
Society Of America. it was recalled last
night.
Woods warning was issued shortly
after the Santa Barbara earthquake OF
June, 1925 He pointed out that the
total energy Of the Santa Barbara
tremor, which took II lives and caused
damage to the extent of $4,000, 900,
was small The damage was due
chiefly though not wholly, he said, TO
poor or unsuitable buildings.
In the century and half since
California has been occupied by Euro
peans maEJ shocks as strong II no.
so destructive, as the Santa, Rare----
earthquake have occuIrcS anu IN South
ern California alone there have been
two or three major shocks" Wood said.
Indians Terrified
! In 1859 a shock strong enough to
terrify Indians and members of the
Portola Expedition in camp near the
site of Santa Ana, SO miles from Les
Angeles, was recorded. In the late
Autumn of 1912 destructive shock, or
perhaps two or more, Wood said, des-
troyed missions at PurisSima, at San
Juan Capistrane. at Santa Ynez and at
Santa Barbara and caused severe dam
age at the Missions of San Buenaven-
ture, San Francisco and San Gabriel.
n In 1857, Wood said, much of South
Central and Southern California was
shaken by great earthquake, prob
ably the strongest that has occurred IN
the Coast Range region since the COM
ing of the white men"
1T is reasonable" Wood said, ito
look upon shocks like those of 1872
and 1856, and probably 1869 also, as
relieving shocks; that is, shocks due
to great widespread rock strain grad
ually accumulated during long time
which finally is relieved .. Strong
local shocks which precede such greater
shocks may reasonably be viewed as
evidence of strain thus accumulated and
not yet relieved"
Predictions Avoided.
Wood concluded:
"SeismologistS cannot make definite
predictions; but it is surely the wiser
conclusion to expect in Southern Cali
fornia the continued occurrence of local
strong earthquakes until the regional
rock strain finds relief through the
occurrence of a general strong shock,
after which a term of relative immunity
may be expected.
Even If no great earthquake occurs
as the climax of the SERIES the happen
| ing of local strong shocks is inevitable
| as long as rock strain is unrelieved."

awakened to be informed of the extent
of the quake He Immediately issued
orders that the resources of the Gov
ernment be put behind relief work and
told Gov. James Rolph, jr., in per-
sonal message that If there is anything
needed that the Government can DO
wire me at once"
As this message was sent. Stephen
T. Early, a secretary to the President,
began issuing his chiefs orders. He
notified the Army and Navy to do all
they could and advise Washington If
they needed reinforcements.
He also advised Ferry K. Heath, As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury in
charge of the Public Health Service. to
see that that agency was ready TO give
all possible assistance in enforcing sanl-
tarv measures necessary to prevent the
spread of disease in the afflicted area.

supply of medical equipment, was or
dered to take a hand in the work as
speedily as possible.

when the disaster broke. Although
part of the feet was four hours away, in
San Diego 80 vessels already were at

quake area, ready to send men and
medical stores on the stricken shore.
At San Pedro were 26 ships, includ-
ing battleships, a half dozen heavy
cruisers and light cruisers. in addi-
ton to the hospital ship. The Pennsyl-
vania. flagship of the feet, commanded
by Admiral Richard H. Leigh. was
among the ships there. enabling Leigh
to take immediate action. A destroyer
and miscellaneous vessels. such as oil
tankers and mine sweepers, completed
the San Pedro section.
Although a considerable number OF
officers and bluejackets had to be kept
on board to man the vessels, the other
thousands were available to give their
