DR. DUNN’S STAND. For Seven Years He Has Stood for Lake Improvement. OAKLAND, Oct. 19.—Health Officer Dr. J. T. Dunn has published a statement In which he shows that the dredging of Lake Merritt is necessary to the public health. The doctor quotes from an ar- ticle in last Monday's Call, which he sup- | plements with facts and data to prove that the drainage into Lake Merritt has long been great evil and is daily be coming worse. Dunn shows that since 1591 he has been a persistent advo- cate of the improvement of Lake Merritt. The new tax levy, which will in all probability be adopted, provides for the dredging of the lake before the close of t fiscal year, and as the mud m the lake 1 be used to fiil the marsh land between Eighth and Twelfth streets, the greater part of the contemplated _improvements advocated by the Lake Merritt and Peralta clubs | are now assured. e OPPOSED TO BONDS. | West Oakland Improvement Club Goes on Record.

YOUNG BELL DISCHARGED BY DOCTORS His Mother Changes Her Story. THE LAD MAKES CHARGES CONFLICTING EVIDENCE FORE THE COMMISSION. BE- A Lover Named Martin Seems to Have Been the Indirect Cause of All the Trouble. Oakland Office 8an Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Oct. 18. John Logan Bell, the young walter who was arrested last night on complaint of | his mother, and charged with insanity, | was discharged this morning by Drs, Olm sted and Milton. The boy's story as pub-| lished this morning evidently exercised great influence on Bell's mother and her lover, for Mrs. Bell made a peculiar ex- planation to the Insanity Commissioners. | Mrs. Bell stated that she did not know | that she was arresting her son for insani- ty when she sent for the police yesterday. She said she merely wanted him treated at the Recelving Hospital for sickness, and did not want him sent to an asylum. The doctors could find no evidence of in- sanity in young Bell, and the lad told | a peculiar story. He sald that for some | years his mother had been desirous of | railroading him to a State asylum. He lays all his troubles at the door of a| man named John Martini, who is in love | with_his mother. Logan quit his job at the Malson Piedmont restaurant & few days ago, because he refused to work and carry home his money which was used for the support of his mother, so long as Martini was such a frequent visi- tor to the house. ““This is simply an effort to get me out of the way,” said <young Bell. ‘Some years ago miy mother, without taking me before a Judge, had me coniined at Ag- news for a couple of years. Her desire is due to the fact that she wants to marry Martini and I don’t want her to.” Mrs. Bell admits that she is anxious to marry Martini, but regrets that she is un- able to do so for six months, as she has only been divorced that length of time from her last husband. She admits that Martini riend to her, and that the alternative was to marry him or be thrown into the street, as she had no| income of her own. She declared that her gon is & mental wreck and has threat- ened that both she and Martini will some day be found In the Morgue. Martini is said to be a steward on a coasting vessel. Young Bell has had some notgriety and | was once tried for criminal assault. The | doctors, however, declare that it is quite nreasonable to have him arrested for | insanity as he is quite bright enough to take cire of himself.

Franklin Brown, the Well-Known Hyp- notist, Succumbs to Blood Poisoning. FRANKLIN BROWN, the well known hypnotist and man about town, died in the German Hospital yesterday from blood poisoning, caused 1by a lion’s fangs. Several months ago Mr. Brown undertook to place a lion cub under a hypnotie spell, when the animal sprang upon him and bit his hand. The wound was slight, but blood poisoning set in. Brown was taken to the German Hospital, where he was confined for many weeks. He finally re- covered sufficiently to leave the hospital, although he still suffered from the effects of the wound. He would probably have recovered eventually, but four days ago a slight scratch again brought on blood poisoning. Brown went at once to the hospital, but the best medical skill could not save him, and yesterday he breathed his last. J. Franklin Brown was one of the most popular men in town. He was formerly Paclfic Coast traveling agent for a Cincinnati distillery, with headquarters in this city. When Kennedy, the hypnotist, madé his first visit here a dozen years ago the two became close friends. Brown evinced the greatest interest in the occult science and devoted several years to its study, going to London, where he joined the Hypnotic Soclety. He re- turned to San Francisco, practicing his science as a curative, but making annual trips to London. Brown never displayed his abilities on the profes- sional stage, but was In great demand for private entertainments. His powers were generally devoted to the cure of dipsomania, and many men of this city can testify to his ability. He delighted in making the lower animals subservient to his will, and it was while making such an attempt that he received his death injury. One of Brown’'s mest successful feats in that way was when he placed a monstrous rattlesnake In a cata- leptic state some years a;o and used it as a walking stick, afterward bringing it out of the “spell” apparently none the worst for its unusual service. . Mr. Brown gave up hypnotism as a profession two years ago. Of late he has been employed as a deputy in the License Collector's office under T. F. Bonnet. He was an entertaining writer on the subject of hvpnotism, his articles being In demand by leading magazines. Mr. Brown was at one time a member of the First Regiment, N. G. C., now In Manliia.
