HUGE EARTH SLIDE

Even Greater Avalanche Is
Feared When Mountain
Shifts in Los Angeles.
(Picture on Page A-3.)

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 27-A million
tons of earth and rock tumbled down
Elysian Parks moving mountain"
last night, and today engineers fore
cast another even greater avalanche.
Three workmen narrowly escaped
when the landslide, 400 feet long,
spilled into scenic Riverside Drive,
breaking power lines and surrounding
several buildings with debris.
Extra police barred sightseers from
the district.
Representatives of the city engineers
Office expressed grave concern. They
said the slide probably was only the
forerunner of a greater avalanche,
which might tumble from the summit,
destroying the Dayton Avenue Bridge
and clogging the Los Angeles River
bed.
Last nights slide came from the
mid-section of Buena Vista Peak.
Mile From Downtown Area.
Elysian Park is about mile from
the downtown business area. The
moving mountain is about $50 feet
in height.
Boulders, earth and trees spread last
night across Riverside Drive for ap-
proximately 400 feet, overflowing into
the Los Angeles River bed. The debris
piled up to a depth Of more than 40
feet in places.
The debris wrecked portions Of the
Riverside Drive viaduct.
About 100 feet of the drive was car
ried away in the slide.
The mountain has been under con-
stant watch by geologists and engi-
neers since the earth movement first
was noticed October %, but the slide
came almost without warning.
The three workmen who escaped the
slide were from the Bureau Of Water
and Power, repairing a broken water
main.

The men, c. G. Ault, c. A. Tomson
and v. w. Buss, heard q light rattle of

their tools and fled. They said the
roar of the avalanche drowned out
the warning siren located atop the
mountain. They said they heard the
siren only seconds before the avalanche.
C. r. Main, Southern Pacific Rail
road signal operator, said there was
q dull rumble as the slide occurred. A
cloud Of dust shot 800 feet in the
air. Mr.. Main Is stationed at the

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. PA fine
rain dampened the city today for the
annual Army-Navy football clash,
but it had little effect on the en-
thusiasm of crowd of 100000 spec
tators here for the game.
Dull gray skies gave little promise
Of breaking by game time at 80 pm.
A tarpaulin covered the brilliantly
dyed grass on the Municipal Stadium
playing field.
The rain sent the price demanded
by spectators for tickets downward.
1t also installed the Sailors as slight

gay cries echoed down South Broad

banners. Trimly-uniformed officers
and sportingly- -attired collegians chap

It was push and tug in the hotel

around, seeking tardy arrivals willing
to pay from SIS to $50 for seats.
The Army Cadets and the regiment

Capt. Gar Davidson, the Army

British Envoy Instructed to State Stand
to japan,

LONDON, Nov. 27 R.-Britain's
Ambassador to Toxic, Sir Robert l..
Cralg1e. today was instructed to make
it clear to the japanese government
that Britain insists on her right to be
consulted on any arrangements the
japanese may make regarding the
Chinese maritime customs.
An official source said Britain had
been in close contact with the United
States and France on this subject.
Sir Robert, this source said, was au-
thorized to leave the Japanese gov
ernment 'in no doubt whatsoever" re-
garding the viewpoint of the British
government
U. S. May Act Likewise.
It was understood in informed
quarters that the United States and
France were taking similar action.
1t also was understood that Sir Robert
was instructed to reserve the right to
be advised about any change the
japanese contemplate in regard to
postal, wireless and telegraph services
in the Shanghai area.
Herschel v. Johnson, counselor of
the American Embassy here, was said
to have been in close touch with the
foreign Office in the last few days re-
garding the Shanghai situation.
It was estimated here that the
Shanghai customs collections have
represented half of China's total in

Of the principal sources Of the Chinese
governments revenue. The customs
service has been stated largely by
British officials.
Customs Pledged for Debt.
Britain and other poweps are inter-
ested in the fate of the Chinese
maritime customs because large part
Of its revenue is pledged for service of
China's foreign debts.
For decades foreign officials have
held the highest posts in the customs
service, although nominally branch
Of the Chinese government.
The head, or inspector general, al
ways has been a Britisher. Sir Fred
erick Maze still is inspector general.
japanese, Frenchmen, Americans and
others hold posts in the customs.
Parleys May Be Broadened.
Britain's growing concern over re-
ports of japanese steps to control
Shanghai's International Settlement
was indicated on the eve Of French
British talks on foreign policy.
The diplomatic conversations, to
start here Monday. may be broadened
to include the Shanghai situation. It
was first expected the statesmen would
take only a passing glance at the
Orient because Of their preoccupation
with "the German problem"
But recent developments at Shang-
hal added considerably to Londons
alarm over the future of British finan-
cial interests in the internationalized
city and it was believed the British
representatives might discuss the pos
sibility Of q new move by signatories
Of the nine-power treaty on China.
