D ny CRUSADER
ACCUSED

SALEM, N. j., July sO.--Dry
circles here were stirred over the
midnight arrest Of DIR. William
Reeves Robinson, prominent dentist
here and volunteer prohibition cru
sader, on d charge of perjury grow.
ing out Of charges made In recent
pooIroom raid.
DR.. Robinson, who figured In a
sensational dynamiting plot on july
IA. when he declared wet forces
damaged his home, with bomb,
obtained his release under q $4,000
bond posted by Roy GUNNER. He
Is to appear for a hearing August
lam r. Miller.
Fl Complaint against the crusader
was made by Charles Vanneman
proprietor OF q poolroom here, whose
place was raided few weeks ago
at the instigation Of Robinson, II
is alleged, Information was given
by Russell Jones, previously ar
rested on perjury charge in the
same case. He Isl said to have told
authorities that Robinson employed
him and had urged him to give
false testimony in the raid.
DIR. Robinson has been volun'
teer prohibition raider since being
appointed special officer by Mayor
John NJ. Gaynor a few months ago,
He has since participated In IL OF
more local raids. He blamed boot
leggers for the recent placing of q
bomb in his garden.
Friends OF the reformer expressed
indignation over the hour of his
arrest, when they declare that
officers could have arranged to take
him into custody in daylight. He
was compelled to remain In the
county Jail overnight. They also
question the authority of Justice OF
the Peace Miller to set such high
bail In the case.
If DIR. Robinson is held at the
hearing on August /, his case will
come before the next grand jury In
Salem county, when charges against
number Of alleged bootIeggers he
raided will also be heard.

LOS ANGELES, July 3O.--six gla'
ciers, Or perhaps more. at one time
existed iii the san Gabriel noun.
tains Of Southern California. accord
ing to William y Miller, professor
OF geology at the University al Cali
fornia at Los Angeles.
Miller. who previously had adj
vanced the theory that glaciers were
at one time common IN the noun
tains only q few miles from the
present cities Of Los Angeles and
Pasadena, recently completed COM
prehensive study Of the southwest
ern section Of the San Gabriel
range.
AS result Of his original SUR
Vev, Miller located the largest
elacier az having occupied the Pine
Fork OF the San Gabriel river. Con.
siderable quantities 81 naorair.ic ma
teriaI. the detritus deposited by gla.
ciers, may still be seen In this lo-
cality.
Points to Evidence
Other glaciers located at that
time included Il field contering about
San Gabriel Peak, particularly in
upper Bear Canyon. and AT the
head or Eaton Canyon, above At
tadena. Miller also decided that the
evidence tended to point To the pos
sibiIity that small glaciers also ex-
listed both on AT. Wilson and Old
Badly.
s.It Is probable that the canyon
tributary to Big Santa Anita Can
yon on the east side OF Mt. Wilson
contained glacier about one and
onesha1f miles long, as suggested by
the cirque.like basin at its head and
~ what ii probably q terminal bolll-
Cersnaoraine at Sturtevant Camp, &
Miller says as q result Of his latest
Btudies.
Echo Rock at Mt Wilson forms
part 81 the rim Of the cirque. al
ciruue-Iike basin suggests That a
small glacier lay on the south flank
sof MI. Wilson at the head or the
west fork Of Big Santa Anita Can
yon. Possibly one or two other
small glaciers occupied the TANKS Of
the mountain, especially on the
north side. :
Extensive Study
The great cliff on the north face
of strawberry Peak, whose altitude
Is $3.50 feet, shows evidence on It's
face Of having been secured by
glacial action, and this theory is
supported BY the deposit Of boulders
and detritus at its base. according
to Miller He also believes that d
glacier may have existed III upper
San Antonio Canyon, flowing to att
least mile below Camp Badly.
Miller S the first geol0gist Io
make an extensive study cf the san
Gabrie1 chain. Until his study ap-
peared it was matter Of comment
among scientists that q section cf
mountainous country ! 200 square
miles IN extent and 50 close to a
large city should have received SO
little attention from biologists.
MilIers work therefore ranks as Il
pioneer study Of the pllysiograph
history Of the southwestern half 81
the San Gabriel Mountains and the
VerdugO and San Rafael ranges.
