DESMOND ON STAND
REPEATS HIS PRIOR
CHARGES OF CHAOS

The afternoon hearing of the Whit
tier inquiry Saturday dragged at times,
and as the room in the administration
building where the the inquiry is being
held Is small for the purpose the mem
bers got up at times to keep from get
ting drowsy.
Trustee c. C. Desmond was the first
witness.
He repeated his charges, giving
specific instances, as he maintained, in
support of the alleged laxity of dis
cipline at the institution.
"On one OCCASION" he said, "a boy
left Mrs. Willes' room just as Mrs.
Truman Cole entered. Nothing was
done even then.
when I spoke to President Clarke
about the goings on at the school he
said to me:

You stirred this thing up Mr..
Clarke continued. We know you are a
fighter
II answered that 1 knew the oath OF
office we took as trustees, and no more,
and that was enough
For an hour Mr.. Desmond. repeated
what he had heard from various
sources that was damaging to the ad-
ministration, and several employees of
the institution gave conflicting, evidence
later.
The tenor of the talk was that discip-
line was lax among the company com
manders.
Mrs. Caroline Fl. Thompson. acting
matron of the girls school, was called
late in the afternoon. Before she took
her chair she looked about her and
wanted to be sure that no camera WAS
pointing at her.

in the newspapers" she said.
Mrs. Thompson has had her daughter
Della's laundering done at the Whittier

OGDEN .Iune 20.--The pee ole of Ogden
ain he given another chance on July 10
IN vote upon the proposition of bond
,,, the city for $3.50 for the purpose
nj building another high school. This
is the conclusion reached by the board
of education at its regular meeting
held last night.
This action Is taken again after
strong pressure had been brought to
bear by the Civic Improvement league,
the Chamber of Commerce. the Weber
club and the city council, as well as
number of the heavy taxpayers.
The gift to the city Of Mr. and Mrs.
Fred j. Kiesel of $4,000 lot upon
which to erect high school was the
means of urging the board of education
to take immediate action for the re-
sttbmital of the question of bonds to
the citizens and taxpayers.
The first proposition TO bond the city
for $40 600 was submitted TO the tax
PAYERS IN January. But owing to the
fact that conditions were misrepresent-
ed to the people by certain class or
people. particularly one or two land
oin CAPITALISTS the bond issue was vot-
ed down by small majority But since
the recent action has been taken 1t is
believed that the question will carry
when 1t is submitted to the people on
July 10.
Part of the money raised will be used
In remodeling the grade school build
ings and connecting them with the sew
er and making numerous other needed
improvements.
The finance committee reported hav-
ing S14 69O.26 cash on hand in the treas
ury.
The committee on buildings reported
that the Pingree school would be con-
nected with the sewer. They also re-
uorted the damage done to the Lewis
school by fire about three weeks ago
was $3.50.
A number of minor reports were re-
ceived and filed.
