inc Graduates Evidence
AMASSES LITTLE PROOF
Search Seems to Show That
DR.. Dunn Merely Gave His
Friend General Questions

Very little important testimony waE
brought out yesterday by the Governors
commission which is investigating the al
leged irregularities in the actions OF the
State Dental Board. All Of the young
graduates have now given their testi-
mony and have been dismissed. The sup
posed giving out OF the questions before
the anatomy examination by q member
Of the board is yet to be conclusively
proved.
II is evident that Dr.. Dunn talked 10
his assistant, Dr.. Papandre, twice in the
hallway Of the examination building be-
fore the test was given but It is far from
determined that he gave out any ille-
Estimate information. No proof whatso-
ever has been offered to show that these
questions were given out in advance by
DR.. Mayhew. unless. OF course, he gave
them TO DR.. Howard for the use of his
Quiz class. But there has been nothing
10 denote this state OF affairs.
The commission is highly interested IN
Dr. Coke, q member Of a Market street
dental firm. This man has been the
friend OF the students OF both colleges,
and he has told most Of them whether
they have passed the State examinations.
lie first asked them their number. told
them TO call e few days later and then
Informed them as TO their chances OF OBJ
tainlng the coveted license from the
board. The commission is anxious to
know whether this man has direct leak
from some member Of the board and
thus gains his information or whether he
is merely a shrewd guesser and hood
winks the students. II he has his infor-
nation direct from the board the COM
mission wants TO know II. It is probable
that Dr. Coke will be subpenaed 10 tes-
tify.
Another dentists supply man was dis
covered yesterday as one who had exclu-
sive information. He is alleged to have
told two students that he would go to
Palo Alto and find out whether they had
passed. This was aimed at DR.. Mayhem.
Il may go hard with q man, supposed
70 be a detective. who went around TO
students and represented that he was en-
ployed by the commission TO gather evil
dence. Many students have sworn to the
fact that this man, who gave his name
as Tucker, approached them as though
he represented Governor Pardee and the
commission. He is said to have asked
one student whether he thought the
crooked hve' or the crooked two" were
guilty.
DR. A 3 Cosad OF Oakland testified
that DR.. Brasch had told him that he had
been saving up TO get a license, and that
afterward a cousin Of DR.. Brssch, one
Shingles, had told him that he knew one
man who had bought a license from the
board.
DR.. J. A. Brooks said he had overheard
the conversation between DR.. Dunn and
his assistant, DR.. Papandre, and that
they were merely talking over general
questions He said that the former testi-
mony Of Drs. Minor and O'Connen was
most odious and disgusting" He also
volunteered the information that he
thought that the whole investigation was
"an unnecessary waste of time"
LAWYERS, witnesses and commission
made merry many times during yester-
days session. Caustic wit passed to and
fro. Several young graduates took the
opportunity of expressing their rage at
the holding back of the list Of those who
had passed the State examinations. The
session will resume at o'clock this
morning.
