14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, MARCH 9, 1§96 DOCKERY'S REPLY T0 ALAEDA, San Francisco's Milk In- spection System Is Thorough. NO BETTER ON EARTH.| A Statement of the Plans That the Health Board Is Car- rying Out. BULLETINS WILL BE ISSUED. The Scheme Adopted Across the Bay Has Long Been in Contem- plation Here. The Alameda system of announcing i public bulletins the results of the official milk inspection every month created a great deal of comment among the readers of THE SuxpaY CALL. Inspector Maillot’s criticisms of the San Francisco method of inspection also ex- cited interest, but the local officials say that in the most important assertions re- garding this City Mr. Maillot was misin- formed. Inspector Dockery and Veterinary Sur- geon Creely were interviewed yesterd and they insist that the local system cludes every good feature of the work in Alameda, while it has some other features of the highestipractical importance. +I think that this Alameda system of milk inspection, as I read of itin THE CavLL to-day,” said Inspector Dockery, “is the finest in existence. The city on the other side of the bay deserves credit. The plan of posting monthly bulletins of the results of the tests made is good. It isto be adopted here, that very project having been decided upon some months ago, and we thought that S8an Francisco suld be the 1irst to adopt it. “Alameda has had about two years to perfect its methods, while we have been at the work only about five months. Yet San Francisco stands all rightin the com- | parison when the full facts are known. | “Inspector Maillot, who is a careful and efficient officer, as 1 am informed, spoke without full knowledge of our work wnen he criticized the San Francisco methods, | however. It is not strange that he shouid not have had knowledge of all the facts, for much that we have done has not been publicly mentioned, as partial reports would not be of any value and might re-| sult in injustice tc some of the dairymen. “In the first place, the Alameda inspec- tors have to deal with about twenty-eight dairies, while we have to watch fully 600 dairymen and dealers in milk. Alameda i bulietins about the condition of the milk and the dairie: That is included in our system. The meda officers e: epect the dairies. We do these things, too, though the fact did not scem to _be under- stood by Inspector Maillot, and some of the results already obtained would be startling if we were ready to make them public. “Ou over several counties, and the only way that we can secure compliance with our | instructions to dairymen outside of this v is to prevent milk from coming to this City when the sanitary conditions at | the source of supply are not g “We have all the regulations and pre- cautions adopted in Alameda, and w2 go much further. At Alameda the milk 1s occasionally inspected, about as chance may direct. Here we have inspection sta- tions established, though the inspectors are not yet appointed, and every dealer will be compelled to go to one of these sta- tions and have his stock of milk inspected before he can even bring it beyond the station. The inspectors will be assigned to new stations every night, and there will be little chance for profizable crookedness. “This is the main point in the superior- ity of our system over that of Alameda, and it is about the only thing needed to perfect the plans across the bay. “Each can of milk will be properly stamped or marked at the inspection sta- tion, and it wili be against the law for any dealer to have an_unstamped can in his possession. Besides that, I—or the Milk | Inspector, whoever he may be—will con- | tinue the general inspections about the | City, and the circumstance that a_can of | milk has been tested and stamped at one of the stations will not preventa second | test being made. “I see, by Dr. Carpenter’s admission, | that the milk orainance in Alameda is very defective, as a dealer cannot be pun- | ished unless caught in the act of deliver- | ing adulterated milk. The mere posses- | sion of adulterated milk is against the City laws here, and it is a sufficient evidence of fraud anywhere. | “Our new ordinance 1s undoubtedly the | best and most complete in the country. It is founded on a careful study of the milk ordinances in all the other large cities, and it has many original features that are | specially valuable. | “The only eftective way of dealing with | the dairy question is through the news- | papers, though the milkmen would mot | care much about a mere arrest. [t's the exposure that they are afraid of, for ex- posure of fraud in milk dealing means a ruin of business. The greatest begging of the offending dealer is: “‘For God’s sake, Dockery, don’t let our | name be published.” *‘The proper examination of the cows is of far greater importance than the inspec- tion of the milk. In regard to that I agree most heartily with Mr. Maillot. It is bet- ter to have fifty per centof pure water and no diseased milk than to have no water | and ten per cent of diseased milk. And it | is a matter of vital importance, not only | to babies and to invalids, but to every- body. ; “I am positive that seventy-five per cent | of the milk now brought to San Francisco is strictly pure. And that means a great deal, though we have hardly begun our work. There is very little diseased milk, and when our plans are put in operation there will be none at all. ““The great trouble in San Francisco is that the Board of Health is greatly ham- pered. Its appropriations are cat down and there is little money available for the work, but that is sure to be remedied when the people understand what the board is doing. The Board of Health wants to have every article of food thoroughly in- spected, and that will be done eventnally. At present there is little encouragement for a man to go out and work night after night, risking his life, when it is not cer- tain whether the Board of Health will | to awaken enthusiasm in the movement to ecure the monument, and the affair at | of tle S.F. Paint, Oil and Varnish Club have any funds at the end of the mon(h"m pay his paltry salary as milk inspector. Mr. Dockery declares that if the Health Board would allow the politicians to con- trol the appointment of milk and food in- spectors more money would be placed at its disposal, but the board is determined to keep its work out of politics. The inspector has no laboratory which to conduct his milk experiments. There is a new ordinance prohibiting the sale of milk by any vendor without a per- mit, and this ordinance went into effect on February 13. lnspector Dockery says that any vendor not having a permit after next Friday will be arrested. There is no charge for the permits. 2 Veterinary Surgeon Creely is confident that when the inspection stations are es- tablished and all the new regulations are put into effect San Francisco’s milk sup- ply will be the best in the world. Some very serious defects in sanitary conditions at the dairies have already been remedied, and many cows affected with tuberculosis § have been xilled. GOETHE-SCHILLER FESTIVAL. Entertainment and Ball to Aid the Monument Fund. The Goethe-Schiller Monnument Associa- tion made another substantial addition to the fund being raised to commemorate Germany’s two most illustrious names in the world of thought and letters. At the festival held in Mechanics’ Pavilion some months ago about fifty prizes remained uncalled for. The association determined to hold another festival on a less elaborate scale to dispose of these, and iacidentialy in lJintracht Hall, 237 Twelfth street, last| evening was the result. Charles Bundschu, president of the as- sociation, made a brief address in which he eulogized the two poets and called upon the people to respond liberally with subscriptions. John Plagemann rendered a barytone solo and the Verein Rintracht Turn Section, under the leadership of H. C. ¥. Stahl, executed pyramids. The re- mainder of the evening was devoted to dancing. The committee expect to order the mon- ument, which is to be an exact duplicate of one in Goethe’s birthplace, some time during this week SIMUEL OSBOURNE ALNE Barbour Lathrop Recently Saw Him in South Africa. Denied the Greeting and Said That Osbourne Was Not His Name. One day about eieht years ago Samuel Osbourne, one of the best-known citizens | of San Francisco, disappeared. The mys- tery of his disappearance has never been solved. He was mnot in debt or distress. His business, that of stenography, was in a fairly prosperous condition. A year or two prior to his sudden disappearance his | first wife obtained a divorce with his full | consent, and shortly after the decree was issued she married Robert Louis Steven- son. Sam wished the newly married | couple all the joy imaginable. His own era of single blessedness was brief, for he married again within six; months, and established his bride in a| amine all the cows and in- | pleasant home in this City. She lived | naded around and the racing men prac- | there with his mother, an elderly lady of ! tjced upon the track. It was the same in fine accomplishments and a disposition of | rare sweetness. His domestic relations | seemed to be of the happiest kind. His | | circle of friends in tbhe Bohemian Cl ub | deal of pains and gone to considerable ex- field for dairy inspection extends | was large, and all who came within the | pense in fitting up their shows, and the range of it recognized Sam Osbourne asa cheerful and genial compunion. Hence when he disappeared his most in- ! timate friends scouted the idea of suicide. | Accidental drowning was the next theory | advanced to account for his disappearance, | but the fact that he had put all his papers | in shape for final settlement of business | affairs induced his associates to believe | that he had simply skipped out. | Vague rumors reached the Bohemian | Club occasionally that he was seen in Day- | enport, lowa, but the truth of the report could not be verified. Another report came that he was seen in Duluth and ac- | costed as Sam Osbourne, but failed to re- spond to the salutation. Facts have recently come to light to show that Samuel Osbourne is alive and | enjoying a fair degree of prosperity in South Africa. He was seen 1n Johannes- burg by Barbour T. Lathrop and accosted by the latter. Laturop was so well ac- quainted with Osbourne, meeting him daily for eight years in the Bohemian Club, und, as a reporter of THE CALL, com- ing across him so frequently in the courts, hat he could hardly be mistaken. Bar- bour Lathrop, whose fluency in conversa- tion is admired, and whose animation in addressing an old friend_cannot be ques- tioned, was somewhat taken by surprise. Sam replied to the greeting by the remark: “*You are mistaken; my name is not Osbourne.” Mr. Lathrop is not a man to force his company on any one, so he simply said: “All right, Sam, if you want to o mas- querading under another name it is none of my business. Good day, sir.” The interview so terminated. Sam Osbourne used to fancy that his re- semblance to the Prince of Wales was so marked that many people observed it, but Mr. Lathrop, who has had the privilege of meeting both the Prince and Sanr, would not likeiy mistake one for the other. | In South Africa there are several Cali- fornians who disappeared from San Fran- cisco under a cloud. As arule they are doing well and, as one of them expressed it to Lathrop, ‘‘are reflecting credit on California.” PAINT CLUB BANQUET. Enjoyable Gathering of Members—Ofm- cers Elected. The third annual meeting and banquet was held on Saturday evening at Del- monico’s. At 7 o’clock the meeting was called, and the business of the evening was speedily transacted and the following officers were elected to serve for the en- suing year: President, J. P. Jourdan; vice-president, J. O. Low; secretary. Saul Magner; treasurer, G.JAmmerup; directors, S. H. Brown, Charles M. Yates, R. N. Nason. The meeting was turned over to the com- mittee on entertainment, and in a neat and well-fitting speech Toastmaster S. H. Brown invited the members and guests to be seated at the banquet table and partake of a repast to which all did ample justice. Those present were: J. P.Jouraan, J: 0. Low, T. J. Bass, G. Ammerup, E. J. Ensign, Emil Magaer, R. N. Nason, 8. H. Brown, E. L. Hueter, Saul Magner, Henry King, F. B. Jokce, G. W. Young. The guests of the evening were: J. P. Seymour of Chicago, R. K. Palache, L. H.

In the afternoon the Presidio band dis- coursed sweet music, the spectators prome- the evening, and under the glare of elec- tric lights the booths were prettier than ever. The exhibitors have taken a good majority of them are very tasty. There were someé very pretty sprints in- 1¢.¢ dulged in by the riders in the evening. There were as many as twenty men on the track at oue time, and the scene was quite animated. Wells and Edwards had sev- eral brushes together, and Osen, the crack rofessional, astonished even his friends y_his wonderful riding. There are many admirers of Edwards, particularly his clubmates in the Olympic Club Wheelmen, who claim that by to- morrow night be will be in such perfect form as to be sble to beat Wells, but the latter has not gone back one whit in his condition, and the Bay City men think he is still the fastest mian of the tournament. They will come together to-night in the mile handicap. The races to-night will be a one-mile handicap, divided into fifteen heats of five men each, there being seventy-five en- trants, all of them speedy men. There will have to be three semi-final heats, and a final, in themselves enough racing for one evening. But the management has on two other big drawing cards, the popu- lar ten-mile club cup race, which created so much enthusiasm the first three nights of the tournament, and a five-mile military relay race. In the latter event ten men are entered, vicked from the crack bicyclists at the Presidio, of whom there are a good many. There will be five men on & side, each of whom will ride a relay of one mile, carry- mg knapsack, rifle and canteen, and pass- ing a message to the man who relays him at the end of the mile. The message is to be delivered to General Graham, com- mandant at the Presidio, who will be pres- ent accompanied by his staff in full uni- form, occupying box seats. The entries for the various events to be run this week are very numerous. The heats in which the men will ride have been carefully arranged, and are an- nounced now that the men may know lwhe they will compete. They are as fol- o Monday evening, March 9: ONE-MILE HANDICAP.

Vingent of the Bay Gity Wheel- men rode a quarter of a mile at the track yesterday afternoon, paced by a tandem, in 292-5 seconds, which is under the world’s record, but, being made on a Sun- day, 1t does not count. Taoe pacers were E‘an and Jaegling of the Imperial Club. Welis also rode an unpaced quarter in 29 seconds flat, but only two watches caught the time. The great Fowler sextet was ridden in the park yesterday by R. P. Aviward, Acme, Allan Jones, Olympic, C. C. Hop- kins, T. C. Dodge and W. A. fi‘erxill. Bay City, and Oscar Osen, Olympic Cyclers. The riders were delighted with the ma- chine, which, they say, runs as smoothl asasingle wheel, and is perfectly rigid. The pace attained at times is terrific, for the reason that, with the big 153 gear, the men'’s feet go around so slowly that they do not realize how fast they are going. Back-pedaling is impossible, and about the only way to stop the machine is to let it slow down graduaily or for the two rear men to drop off and 'hold it back. The machine will be taken ont again next Sun- d.y{n“d may be used for a record trial against time at the Bay District track dur- 1ing the week. "nighl, was in a good with the rusty crowd, elbowed and shoved to get a glimpse of John L. Sullivan. Yes, the great John L. Sullivan has ar- rived. He is still great in many respects, although no longer the king of the 24-foot ring. He is better looking in face, because his hard lines are being softened by . | mustache and hair that are rapidly be- coming gray. But he is getting so terribly fat. He ac- knowledges 277 pounds, which represents about fifty pounds less than he actually weighs. That makes little difference, how- ever; his bull-like roar, his hearty grasp and his personal magn-tism manage to keep him popular wherever he travels. It took a squad of policemen to clear the hotel lobby when the news spread that Sullivan had reached the hotel, and to avoid arush Parson Davies, who is man- aging him, suggested that they both go upstairs to their rooms. When the *‘big fellow” disappeared in the elevator the malcontents downstairs said he wasdrunk and had to be put to This is positively not so. Sullivan, last jovial mood, not having taken more than any gentleman of his capacity can carry with dignity. He received the newspapermen and a few select friends with cordiality, and said he was glad to meet old acquaintances. He poked a little fun at himself, espe- cially at his fast increasing weight, saying that if he did not wear an elastic bandage his stomach would spill out over his trouser’s band. “I consider myself still champion of the world,” hesaid. “I've gotas much rignt to the title as Corbett, because to win the championship you have to have it out in prize-ring style with bare knuckles.” Speaking in a general way on pugilistic | matters, Sullivan stated that he and Par- | son Davies were feeling their way toward popularizing and legalizing fisticuffs in the United States. “You see,” said the big man, ‘“‘we want to establish a sporting league of a national character. We want to get the best men financially, socially and politically in the " | United States to join, and represent the seetions in which they live. Then we will be a power in a political way and force our legislators to fix up our business so we can conduct it, or else we won’t elect them.”” At this juncture Sullivan branched off on the question of firoteuionnl rights, claiming that he in all his career as a prize- fighter never hurt nor touched a non- combatant outside of a prizefight ring. Quite the contrary, he had put “his hand down in his pocket to help out the poor, rgfin;dless of whether they believed prize- fighting was right or wrong, _‘“And,” he emphasized, ‘I never in my life tried to stop a preacher from preach- ing. Let them stick to their business strictly and honestly, do the good I believe they can do, and quit monkeying with other folks. When they do that you won’t have scandals like this Brown business I've been hearing so much of. Did I, or any other prizefighter, create such a stink as that?” he asked quite earnestly. Sullivan still bears the only half-healed scars he sustained on the head some four or five weeks ngo when he fell from a mov- ing car near Springfield, Ill. The story telegraphed here was that the wounds had resulted in causing dropsy, but that is pure fabrication. I believe that if Corbett and Fitzsim- mons met to-day that Corbett would whip the Cornishman,” Sullivan said. “As to Jackson, he is no lonier in it. He‘s‘ been living too high since he has gone to England. I think, though, he would have licked Corbett had be not been handi- capped when he fuu{ht him in this city. You remember they fought a draw. Jack- son's leg was sprained at that time.”’ This question of colored men as fighters caused Sullivan to Iaunch forth a tirade against the race. Apparently he has a colored man in perfect horror.
