CALIFORNIA MARBLE
FINDS EASTERN MARKET
Mineral Mined in TuoIumne
County Readily Sold i'm New
York Despite Freight Rates

Another California product has
found an eastern market. Word has
been received from the eastern burea u
of the California Promotion committee,
in New York city, to the effect that d.
II. Baxter of this city has sold a car
load of Tuolumne county marble which
will go into the interior of a New
York building. The marble from Cali
fornia was selected despite the fact
that the freight alone amounted to
81 a cubic foot
In 1906 Tuolumne county produced
$4,000 cubic feet OF marble, valued at
$4,000 The only other California
counties which in that year produced
marble in commercial quantities We're
lnyo and San Bernardino whose out
put brought the total for the state to
81, 400 cubic feet, valued at s75.SO0
That the quarrying of marble is a
growing industry in California is
shown by comparing the 1907 report
of the state mining bureau with the re-
port of 1906, quoted above In 1907
37,512 cubic feet were produced. a
gain Of 5000 cubic feet. The increase
of the value of the product is still
more marked, the value in 1907 being
S11e.066. In addition to the three
counties listed in 1906, marble was
quarried in Los Angeles, Riverside
and San Diego counties in 1907.

TOMALTY'S LAWYER
ATTACKS TRUE BILL
Attorney Costello Alleges Client
Was Not a Public Officer,
as Charged
Indictment Also Said to Be
Faulty in Charging AItera-
ton of Record

On behalf of James c. Tomalty. the
city treasury official charged with tam
pering with a public record. the point
was raised in Judge LawIors court
yesterday by Attorney stephen v.
Costello that Tomalty was not a pub
lie officer. as charged in the indict-
ment, and that therefore the indictment
was defective and should be quashed.
Costello contended that Tomalty was
merely an employe OF the city, which
he disting uished from public officer.
further argument Of the lawyer in
seeking to upset the Indictment on de-
murrer, was that the Indictment did not
allege that the ledger with which
Tomalty was charged with having tam
pered was a public record There was
a vast difference between an account
and a public record. said Costello. apd
If the court held that the ledger was
public record it would make it
felony if an innocent correction were
made because the supreme court had
held that where public record was
altered. even without criminal intent.
the man who did so was guilty OF a
felony. Costello made a further point
of the fact that TOrnalty was not
charged with altering the record. but
with adding a figure TO il.
Assistant District Attorney Robert
Harrison. in reply. argued that whether
a man was a public officer or not de-
pended upon his duties. Considering
the duties he performed Tomalty was
a public officer. he held, although not
charter officer. The statdte did not
require that il be charged the altera-
tion was made in a public record, Har-
rison said, but merely in a record In a
public office. He answered the con-
tention as TO the failure of the indict-
ment TO charge alteration" by saying
that the addition of the figure 50 so
as to change ~SS05' to IS, 500" was
necessarily an alteration.

he intended to wear to church on
Christmas day.
He received a note from the police
yesterday saying that they had a clew
to where the clothes were.
"A clew is all right" observed Carle-
ton C. Crane. but it is little too thin
to wear in this freezing weather. and
muttered that Cranes jokes were some
times little obscure.

Farmers in Island Sections
Formulate Scheme
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call


STOCKTON, Dec 23-San joaquin
and Contra Costa land owners in the
island sections are endeavoring to
formulate scheme by which a large
canal can be cut through from Sand
Mound slough to Dutch slough, thereby
turning all flood waters that come
down Old river into Dutch slough and
thence into the San Joaquin river
The proposed canal will be two and
half miles long and will be of great
advantage to the island country in
high water periods.
Those leading the movement are the
owners of the Franks. Bethel and Jer-
sey island tracts Others are interest
ed and will lend their cooperation.
1t is said that l.. A. Phillips, manager
of the Holland land and water com
pany, has declared that in his opinion
the canal is a necessity and that the
land in that section of the country
will never. yield it's best under exist
