ALLEGED PLOT
TO Be SHOW n
Dental Board Member Says
That We Have Enough
Practitioners in California
MANY ARE IN THE RING
DR.. E. G.. Howard of South
ern City Thinks Too Many
Are Engaged in Profession

Some persons seem to think that GER
tain members of the State Board OF
Dental Examiners have conspired to
restrict the practice of dentistry in the
State of California. DR.. E. G. Howard
member of the board who resides In
Los Angeles, is credited with having
made the statement at the last meet
ing of the board in this city, December
26, last: I'VE do not want any more
dentists in California. There are
enough practitioners here now"
T. r. Woodland. who in his suit in
stituted March "a, against the State
Board of Dental Examiners charged
DR.. Fred w. Baird, a member of the
board with offices at 502 Sutter street,
with conspiracy to keep down the
number of dentists in California, claims
that he will be able to prove his asser-
tions. His attorney, Sanford Feigen-
baum, is now at work collecting a mass
of important evidence to sustain the al
Legations set forth in the suit.
Attorney Feigenbaum says that he
will show by witnesses and sworn aff1-
davits that DR.. Fred G.. Baird, preSi-
dent of the State Board, has granted
temporary licenses to at least three
known persons without first having
subjected them to the examination re-
quired by law. Woodland alleges that
he was denied a temporary license
after having passed a rigid and i'm
practicable examination before DR..
Baird. He also alleges that Baird S
animosity toward him was openly
shown before and during the examina-
ton. He says that Baird, although re-
Quired by the dental law to give him
an examination upon application for
the issuance of a temporary license,
refused to examine him as to his quail
fications as a dentist. Woodland states
that 1t was only after he secured the
services of an attorney that Baird con-
descended to give him the examination.
Then he says the questions put to him
were rigid and impracticable.
Woodland retained a duplicate copy
of his examination. The questions, ten
in number, he thinks would certainly
not give any examiner the slightest in
sight into the qualifications of the ap-
plicant. Five of the questions put to
Woodland were intended to elicit infor-
nation as to the many and varied
clauses of the dental law. One of the
questions which Baird thought might
determine a mans worth as a dentist
was, What is the amount Of the fee
imposed upon practicing dentists and
known as a license fee? When and to
whom is it payable?"
Four other such questions comprised
one half of the examination to deter
mine the applicants fitness to practice
dentistry.
Woodland and his attorney further at
lege that Baird did not prepare the
questions himself, but sought the aid
of one DR.. Frank Platt The suit
comes up for hearing on the 7th in
slant.
The dentists Of the State are said to
be up in arms against the actions of
Howard and Baird and say that DR.. G..
A. Herrick of Jackson, Amador county,
secretary of the board, is 'in the ring
to keep down the number of dentists

COUNTERFEITER
PUTS Up FIGHT
Arrested by Thomas B. Fos-
ter, Secret Service Agent,
and Attempts to Escape
VISITS CIGAR STORES
His Speciality Is Ten-Cent
Pieces and Several Are Dis
covered in His Room

Thomas B. Foster, secret service
agent, made a clever capture of coun-
terfeiter on Saturday night. The sus-
pect gave the name Harry Churchill,
but his real name is Harry Alexander.
Foster thinks his prisoner has served
a term in the penitentiary at Joliet, ILL.,
The fact that 10-cent pieces so per-
fectly made that it was difficult for any
one but an expert to recognize them as
counterfeit were being circulated in the
city was brought to Fosters attention,
and he at once took steps to hnd the
culprit. Most of the coins had been
passed in cigar stores. Finally Foster
suspicious fell upon Alexander, ana
after locating Alexander's room at 424
Dupont street he waited outside on
Saturday night for developments.
Alexander left the place between
and o'clock, and Foster followed hlm
till he saw him enter the cigar store or
M. A. Gunst & Co., Sutter and kearny
streets. Alexander purchased 5-cent
package of tobacco and laid 1O-cent
piece on the counter Foster grabbed
hold of both of Alexanders arms and
told the clerk not to put the dime in
the cash register. Alexander struggled
fiercely to get out Of Fosters grasp
and Foster called upon young man TO
help him. The young man responded
and Alexander was forced back into the
office.
Foster searched the prisoner and
found $50 in gold and Sc in silver in his
pockets, but could find no trace of
counterfeit 10-cent pieces. Foster hap
pened to take his eyes off Alexander
for an instant and Alexander planted
his elbow in Fosters stomach. knock
ing the breath out of him, and bolted
He was intercepted by the clerk, ana
before he could get away Foster and
the young man rushed upon him. The
handouts were placed over his wrists
and he was taken to the City Prison
There Foster made another search and
found three of the counterfeit 1O-cent
pieces. Well said Alexander, you've
got me dead to rights
Foster went to several cigar stores
and got three other counterfeit coins.
Then he went to Alexanders room and
remained on watch till o'clock yester-
day morning in the expectation that
Alexander might have a confederate,
but no one came, and Foster concluded
that Alexander had been working
alone. Accompanied by Sergeant Coo
gan and Policemen Duffy and Connors,
Foster made a search Of the room and
found 145 counterfeit pieces, two plaster
of paris molds, metal ladies' and other
paraphernalia, which were seized. be-
sides eighty -four 5-cent packages of to-
bacco.
Yesterday morning Alexander made a
full confession to Foster, saying that
he had been working alone for the last
five weeks. He said he got the idea
from reading in a newspaper about
counterfeiting. During the five weeks
he had passed on an average five of the
coins each night, which would total IT'S,
but Foster thinks he has been doing it
for more than five weeks. Alexander
says he is a barber by trade, but did
not work regularly, He wore diamond
stud. The police Will look into his rec
ord.

MAY FORESTALL
HEWITT'S ORDER

Workmen from the Department OF
Electricity will start in bright ana
early this morning with the task or
tearing down telegraph poles and
wires in the various downtown dis
tricts. Chief Engineer William r.
Hewitt of the department issued an
order on Saturday that the obstruc-
tions must come down If the compa-
nies do not comply with the law by
Monday morning.
There is liable to be fight before
the work of removing the poles and
wires is completed. The various COM
panies operating overhead wires COM
plain that they have not been notified
in time, and it Is more than likely
they will take legal steps to prevent
Hewitt from carrying out his pro-
posed plan.
| The overhead poles and wires have
caused lot of trouble and discussion
in the Department of Electricity and
the Board of Public Works for many
months. Efforts have frequently been
made to compel the telegraph and
telephone companies to place their
wires underground, but in many in
stances the orders have not been COM
piled with
Louis Glass, vice president of the
telephone company, thinks his cor
poration has not been treated right
by Hewitt and objects strenuously to
the order that was issued
I'VE did not hear a word about
this till late last night" said Mr..
Glass, and I do not see what chance
we have to obey the command in such
a short space OF time.
II suppose that we can do nothing
but look on If the work OF tearing
down the poles and wires commences
this morning. We have not as yet
taken any legal steps to prevent the
move. and I cannot say what we will
The directors of the company will
meet this morning, and they may
agree on legal measures to prevent
the work of demolition.
Even If the wires are torn out II
will not interfere with our business to
any extent. 1t may cut us out of a
few circuits, but the damage can
been warned before this by Chief
Hewitt, for then we would have had
a chance to either place our wires
underground or show cause why we
should not"
Frank Jaynes, superintendent of
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany and the American District Mes
warned by Chief Hewitt that the wires
and poles of the company were about
to be torn out.
'I know nothing about the matter
and / guess there is nothing to IN ;,
said Jaynes last night. IF HEWITT
were going to do anything like thai
he should have notified me. We are
unprepared now, but we will certainlv
do something If they begin tearine
out our wires"
If the overhead poles and wires are
taken down this morning it will nIav
havoc with number of small mes
senger companies. These concerns
depend almost entirely on their over
head wires. and it will mean ruir
for them if their business is delavad
1t Is likely that the various comma

morning and agree on twavs and
