JUDGE DUNNE GIVES LAD
NEW CHANCE TO REFORM
Youth Up for Sentence Second
Time Wins Leniency Because
of Parents Neglect

A second chance to reform himself
was granted yesterday by Judge Dunno
to William BrOtton, a youth who ad-
gies. A year or two ago Brotton stole
a bicycle and was placed in care of
the Boys and Girls Aid society His
to remark that Brotton seemed TO have
engaged in a progressive series of
crimes and to warn the boy not to
follow up the stealing of the bicycle
and wagons with the stealing of an
automobile.
However. as it appeared that Brot-
ton had been neglected by his parents
the judge committed him to the school
of reform at lone, telling him that If
he offended again he would be sent
to the state prison.

STATES QUARRl[S
INCREASE YIELD
MineraIogist Aubury Shows the
Great Growth in Value of
Annual Product
Figures for 1907 Show More
Than $9,225,OOO Received
for the Year

An excellent record was made last
year in the production and utilization
of mineral structural materials in this
state. According to State Mineralogist
Lewis E. Aubury, the total value rep
resented by the output of these in
dustries in 1907 was approximately
$9,225,000. The exact total is some
The final returns will make a large
addition.
The total of $9,225, 900 shows an in
crease of $1,336000 as compared with
the aggregate for the preceding year.
The producers and workers of clay and
the quarrymen practically added as
much wealth to the state in 1907 as
did the oil wells in 1906 when petroleum
was the second mineral product of com
mercial Importance.
The figures from the producers of
California that have been received to
date without final revision are as fol-
lows:
Paving blocks, $200,44O; lime. s743,-
TAO; limestone, s3SS,014; cement, s2,291,-
or; granite, $451,085; rubble, 1852, ,996;
slate 100000; serpentine, $4,000; glass
sand, $S,17S.S0; sandstone, $100,1S mar
BILE, S97,S63; clay POTTERY:, S219,179;
brick, $2,965,770; macadam, 1851, 1876.
The largest increase, as compared to
1906, Is to be credited to the brick
makers, who led their record of the
preceding year, and who increased their
output from $2,53S,848 to $2.965,77O, or
practically S425,0O0. The lead is then
taken by the cement men, whose output
in 1906 was $1,941,250, and in 1907 was
s2.291, OFT, a gain of about 1926, ,O0O
Notwithstanding the fact that the old
paving blocks were utilized in the re-
paving of the streets of this city and
that few new ones were quarried for
local use, the quarrying of pawn e
blocks shows an increase. Increases
are also noticeable in the production
of lime and limestone. The production
of granite was increased by more than
100000. Clay and pottery was more
in demand. A large increase is shown
in the rubble product and substantial
production of macadam is manifest
State Mineralogist Aubury said yes
terday: These returns strongly tend
to confirm the earlier forecast that the
total mineral production of the state
for 1907 would vastly exceed $50, 900, O0O
nearly complete"
The plan of the mining bureau to give
TO the public information concerning the
mineral production OF the state as spon
as 1t Is received has helped to accent
uate the growth of mineral production
in the state. The co-operation of all
mineral producers is invited in get
ting together the statistics.

DESMOND FAILS TO
PROVE CHARGES
Allegations of immortality
Against Whittier Superintend-
ent Not Snbstantiated
Many Witnesses introduced and
Sharp Tits Occur Before
Hearing Ends

WHITTIER, July 20-During the
early portion of todays hearing on the
charges made by Trustee c. c. Des-
mond against Superintendent Greedy
and other officers of the Whittier re-
form school there was rather sharp
exchange between Trustee Desmond
and E. c. Cooper, secretary to Governor
Gillett, who has conducted the examina-
tion of witnesses. Secretary Cooper
declared that Desmond had not SUBJ
stantiated his charges. but it was
finally agreed that Desmond should
have the privilege of introducing any
witnesses he choose.
Tony Rodriguez, an inmate of the
school, testified that he had once been
beaten by Captain McCleuth and had to
go to a hospital. Other witnesses testi-
fed that McCleuth, who has since been
discharged, had beaten them and sworn
at them.
The most startling feature of the
investigation was the direct accusation
by DIR. A. F. Prewhella of Rivera that
Miss Cora White, one of the witnesses
asked for by Trustee Desmond, had
been driven insane by the notoriety
which she had gained in the news
papers.
He said that she is now in such a
condition that it will be dangerous to
take her testimony and might cause
ner death.
John P. Healy, instructor in the
laundry. told of conflict of orders be-
tween Superintendent Greedy and Dr.
Coffin, the assistant superintendent.
Healy also said he saw Mrs. Grace Will
lis and Cadet Fahey alone in the su-
perintendent's office about 1870 o'clock
one evening, but had not reported 1t to
Superintendent Greedy.
Later in the day Trustee Desmond be-
came engaged in a sharp controversy
with the members of the state board
| of charities and corrections, who are
! hearing the charges. Called upon 10
| support his allegation of immortality.
Desmond brought forward Cora Walper,
a former girl inmate of the school.
whom Desmond admitted is alleged to
have been leading a dissolute life since
she has been out of the school. She
testified that superintendent Gilbert
had drunk wine with two women off,
GERS at the girls school.
| The inquiry was completed at 1I.30
tonight. at which time the state board
OF charities and corrections announced
that an executive session will be held
In Los Angeles tomorrow morning in
the office of Professor E. C. Moore. a
member Of the board, and who is su-
perintendent of schools in this CITY. II
Is presumed at that time findings to be
presented to Governor Gillett will be
agreed upon.
