DOCKERY DENIES
The CHARGES
Two Dairymen Claim That
Extortion Was At
tempted.
Market Inspector Davis Impli.
Gated, but 1t Is Said to Be
Spite Work.
The Accusers Were Arrested by the
Inspectors-The Health Officer
Doubts Them

Milk Inspector James P Dockery in
dignantly denies the charges preferred
against him and Market Inspector Davis
by Christian Rutland and Gail thinner
mann, proprietors of the Richmond dairy.
According TO the accusation, which has
been filed with Health Officer Lovelace,
both Dockery and Davis promised the
Richmond dairy immunity from official
examination provided bribe of $500 was
paid by the dairymen, Ruhland and Zim-
mermann.
Rutland claims that about q month ago
|. L. Solomon, a cattle-dealer, called at his
dairy and, in the presence of Mrs. Ruh-
land and zimmerman, stated that he
(Salomon) was authorized by Dockery to
make proposition whereby Ruhland
would be notified of any determination by
the Board of Health to examine his COWS.
Six or seven sickly cows were to be taken
to the Richmond dairy by Solomon, and
these would be examined and killed, but
Ruhland's cows would escape. For this,
Solomon said, $500 should be paid.
The proposition, Rutland states, was
accepted. and last Monday the first INSTALL
ment of $500 was to have been paid at the
corner oil Mission and Third streets.
The story goes on to state that Ruh-
lands brother George was in the scheme,
the bribe. They made arrangements 10
catch the TWO inspectors, but according 10
the charges Davis and Dockery became
frightened on seeing two men present and
dropped negotiations.
DR.. Lovelace, the Health officer, says
that the whole affair is simply revenge.
He does not place any faith in it. He
said: Accompanying :he charges was an
application from Rutland for appoint
ment as milk inspector; also long ar icle
on what Rutland t rmed his views on the
proper manner OF inspecting milk. This
resembled very closely the vaporing OF q
weak-minded person, as it was unintelli-
gible and senseless."
The doctor added that neither he nor
mem bers of the Board of Health believe d
the charges. On the contrary, he was OF
the opinion that the trouble was caused
by the arrest of Ruhland few mon hs
ago on a charge of selling impure milk.
Il am anxious" said Dockery yester-
day, ito have an immediate and public
investigation of these charges. AS far as
my movements of the past week are con-
cerned l can account for them 10 tie sat-
isfaction of every body, but l cannot GO
into particulars now, as that would give
away my hand to those fellows. | shall
do so at tie investigation, and shall then
prove not only to the satisfaction of the
Board OF Health, but to the public, that
the charges are malicious and groundless.
| arrested G orge Rutland last spring for
havin bad veal in his possession. 6alo-
mon was afterwards arrested on the same
charge. and some calves in his load were
unfiI for human food. George wanted to
be assistant milk inspector, and when the
