DUNN REPLIES TO CHAPMAN The Health Officer Saws He Acted in Good
 Faith.
Will Not Stop Arresting Those Who POllute TemeScal
 Creek.
There Is Chapter Of Politics, How. ever, That pr. Dunn Has Not
 Read.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
 o0S Broadway ADril

Health Officer Dunn takes exception to the remarks of ex-Mayor Chapman made yesterday in Judge Gifts court, while O. Coffin was on trial for alleged pollu- ton of Temescal Creek
 Mr. Chapman stated that the arrest of Comm was merely a little evidence or the persecution of one of the water comDa- nies who found a pliable Board of Health ready to do its bidding. pr. Dunn says that MT. Chapman is in error, and he produces in proof of his assertion a cir cular of the Health Department issued January ,; 1897, by the homeopathic Board of Health which Mayor Thomas quickly kbounced, supplying its place with aIlo- paths. The circular states that the Board of Health instructed its secretary ito see that all parties residing or own ing property upon the watersheds of Lakes Chabot and Temescal were per sonaliy served with copy of the health officers report, in which he recommends that certain measures be carried out to check the fouling and polluting of the waters which supply the lakes
 The recommendations require all, peo- pie living on the watersheds to observe certain rules regarding drainage from cowsheds and similar places and the dis posal of dead animals.
 When We took office three months af- ter the issuance of this circular" said Dr. Dunn, we simply carried out the recommendations of our predecessors, and Cofln defied our authority we had him arrested. It was done on our part in good faith and the prosecution 0f the case was taken out of our hands, Mir. Chapman had no right to asperse the motives of the health officer in thls case
 pr. Dunn personally may not have been taken into the political combna- lon which every intelligent Oaklanier knows has controlled the city govern ment through the water companies' agents since the last city Republican con. yenuon- However, he offers no excuse Tor the notorious fact that although Golf i'm was arrested last September, the Dis trlct Attorney, who is supposed and who IS paid to prosecute, had the case con- unued from time to time for over seven months, and 1t is not on record that dur Health sent any protest to the District Attorneys office to expedite the prose cution.
 Mir. Chapman is politician for pleas ure and an attorney by profession When he allies these two industries he Is very apt, being on the inside of politics, to hit the nail on the head. Should the Board Of Health desire to see the proofs of his , contention, Mir Chapman will no doubt make good his promise. Dr. Dunn states that the prosecution of the guilty parties along Temescal Creek will be carried on and will not be permitted to drop and should Mir. Chapman be again retained by the defense, the political sensations he promised will probably be brought to light.

ATHLETIC DISPUTE SETTLED

BERKELEY, April 9.-The athletic dis pute between California and Stanford over the bicycle race was settled to-day by an arbitration committee appointed to adjust the difficulty. The race will take place in San Jose on Wednesday, April 20.
 Manager Melville Dozier of California insisted on having the bicycle race on the Wednesday before the intercollegiate field day. Manager T. T. c. Gregory of Stan ford wanted the race on the same day as the field day. The managers could not agree, the faculty athletic committees could not agree, so President Charles P
 Bells appointed a committee to arbitrate as provided in the recent arbitration treaty between the two universities. MT. Bells appointed Samuel Knight Hall Mo Allister and A. J. Dibblee, and they de- cided in favor of Californias contention.

THE HARBoURNE SHORTAGE. Expert Davis Finds That It Is Con siderably More Than Had at
 First Been Stated.

ALAMEDA, April 9.-Expert Davis, who has been engaged for some time in exam iring the books of the public library for the purpose of determining the amount of ex-Librarian Harbourne's shortage, has completed his task and made his report last evening to the Board of Library Trus- tees. The full report has not been made public, and a special meeting of the board will be held on Tuesday evening next to receive and discuss 1t. It Is understood however, that the report will show a total shortage of about $20OO, instead of the 5000 or $1100 originally claimed. An anaZing feature of the affair is that forged warrants are found for as small sums as S1 50 s1 25 and S1.

A VESSEL FORFEITED
Shippers Having Trouble With Colom-
bian Authorities

| NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-The case of the
American schooner George @. Whitford.
Captain Hendricks, which has been uu
der seizure since March, 1896, for alleged
infractions of the customs regulations
in ioading cargo at Porto Bello, has
just been decided by the Colon Supreme
Court, says the Colon correspondent of
the World.
The court adjudges Captain Hendricks
guilty in the third degree and orders the
forfeiture Of the vessel and cargo, or the
payment of sum equal to their value
for the benefits of the Colombian Treas
ury.
Captain Hendricks counsel has taken
an appeal to the Panama Supreme
Court.
American vessel owners have made
frequent complaint of annoyance and
loss inflicted upon them by the Colom-
bia authorities. This is the second time
that the Whitford has been in trouble.
On January 4. 1890, she was searched
for contraband goods, and her captain
(Foster) was put in Jail. No contraband
goods were found and the vessel and the
captain were released. On the second oc-
casion the Whitford was overhauled by
a Colombian gunboat at sea outside the
three mile limit. The Whitford Is owned
by L. Schepp, of the firm of L. Schepp
& Co., New York
