THE REPORT OF CAPT BEDELL's CASE.
We went by way Of Brunswick and
reached Conquest camp, where Capt
Bedell died, Friday morning. l came
back Sunday morning. The report that
made was based on information obtained
while investigating the Anita Ber-
win case. 1t confirmed prcvi-
Gus reports as to the management
of the Brunswick quarantine, and L re-
ported accordingly"
DR.. Drummer visited Brunswick again
last week TO secure fuller information
upon some matters touched upon In his
report. 1t was then that he ascertained
that copy of his report had been receiv-
ed in Brunswick, Of which he had not
been made aware until his arrival there.
My report was made for the informa-
ton of the Savannah officials only said
DIR. Drummer, but since it has been made
public, / am willing to stand by every
statement made in it and 1 will be able to
offer facts in support of them
DR.. Drummer criticised the report
of DR. Dunwody made in reply
to him very severely. He said in
the first place that DIR. Dun
woody did not write the report himself as
it was totally unlike him, but that he
Judged from the shrewd. sharp manner in
which it was written that it had been
done by a lawyer 1t eudeavored to conceal
rather than state facts and the attempt
was TO smooth over the situation and put
things in plausible light, in DIR. Brun-
ner's opinion. IL am willing to stand or
fan by Dr. Carriers report" said DR.
Drummer, land ! am satisfied that it will
confirm everything l have said. / am
satisfied that he will recommend that the
national government take charge of the
Brunswick quarantine and that DIR. Dun
wOdys office will be abolished inside of
sixty days"
DR., Drummer was asked if he wasn't
afraid he would get into trouble by his
niGRnGglnng rIpiy n
antlne matter. He replied he did not
think So He wanted it distinctly under
stood that he was no duelist but did his
fighting on the spur of the moment in the
old-fashioned way.
There will probably be some lively talk
from the Brunswick end of the line as the
result of DR.. Brunner's bold attack upon
its quarantine system and quarantine Of
ticers. The matter is very interesting at
present, and may grow more so.
BACKED BY THE SANITARY BOARD.
The sanitary board met at u o'clock
and discussed the Brunswick matter and
the public health Those present were
Messrs Sheldon, Aldermen Harris,
O'Connor, and DR.. Drummer.
Mayor McDOnough was in attendance
upon the city court, and the other mem
bers of the board were absent from the
city. The board was in session nearly
two hours. There was considerable discus
sion upon DR.. Brunner's report upon the
Brunswick quarantine, but no otilcial
action was taken, the members stated
after the meeting. The board is under
stood to have approved DR.. Brunner' S
course and to have given its consent to a
full statement by him as TO his action in
the matter
CALLS HIM A TALKATIvE MAN.
The Brunswick Times-Advertiser prints
some lively criticisms on DR. Drummer 1t
says II is quite evident that DR. Brun-
ner is a very talkative man. He may
have no i'll feeling toward Brunswick, or
its health officer, as he asserts, but he is
evidently suffering with some kind of
retching that is not produced by an oc-
currance of public service from which he
Is entirely isolated only as an Incidental
character.
The trouble with DIR. Drummer is that
he cannot appreciate the fact that he is
forcing himself into the position of an
obnoxious intermeddler 1t seems that
he cannot realize the fact that Bruins
wicll's health officer and Brunswick S
station is cO-equal and authoritative with
himself ana his work.
His home papers place him in the atti-
tude OF jumping jack trying to attract
attention at our expense, by all sorts
Of lll-COncclved ContOrJiVe acts.
she is made to say that Brunswick i'll
will was caused by his reporting the Der
win case to the L. 5. marine hospital
service, when. as a matter of fact, Health
| Odccr DunwodY not only complied with
all official requirements on that line, but
/ also, in full courtesy, telegraphed the par.
ticulars Of the matter to DR. Drummer.
NO FEELING AGAINST HIM.
GAS 10 any sling which the people may
have toward DIR, Drummer it has never
been exhibited. There were not, prob.
ably, twenty people in Bruins wick who
knew Of his visit TO this place, and In that
| ignorance which he seems 10 consider a
| culpable quality, the tapping of bunting
to the breeze or the tum-tum OF the gew,
! Faws might have been omitted but we
are authorized to emphasize
| the fact that the omission
| was not intended as any act of discourte
| sy, whether DIR, Drummer was here of his
! own accord or a chosen expert of The fed
/ cral government. DR.. Carter was recog-
/ nized as the gentleman with whom il was
/ our pleasure TO deal, and he did not seem
1 TO think that is was an act of malice or
/ our part that grand hOnors were left to a
| less formal reception.
WANTS a NATIONAL QUARANTINE.
AS a matter of fact. we hope to impress
! DIR. Drummer with the truth in this whole
matter We want our quarantine sta.

along with the entire service on this
