F. Tebbets is the central, unenvia- ble, accused figure, has assumed wide proportions. Another dehtist has come forward to join Dr. Louis T. Cranz in charging Dr. Tebbets with tempted bribery. This new accuser is Dr. G. H. Gazarian of Fresno, who declar that Dr. Tebbets demanded of him 3300 as the price of a diploma from the State Board. Dr. Gazarian says that Tebbets told him that there were four members of the board who had to be paid. zarian refused to give the money failed in securing a certificate. The Governor gan now have no further excuse for delaying or preventing an in- | vestigation of the scandal.’ Dr. Louis T. Cranz has become weary of promises and has determingg to press the matter at Ga- and once to an Issue. He ha ught quiry into his accusations against low member, Dr. F. F. Tebbets, but on one pretext or another the Dental Ex ded aminers and the Governor have eva the issue. Dr. Cranz has decided therefore to place responsibility where it belongs, and to-day his attorney, Thomas D. Riordan, will draft formal charges and present them to Governor Gage with a demand for an immediate and public investigs tion. Dr. Tebbets must enter therefore upon a trial in which his professional honor and his private character are at stake. And it is extremely probable that | the methods of the entire Board of State Dental Examiners will be subjected to the closest scrutin: The scandal which revolves around the name of. Dr. Tebbets has opened a wide fleld in which accusations of fraud and dishonesty in the issuance of certificate and the sale of examination papers must be answered. Dr. Cranz specifically ac- cuses Dr. Tebbets of having urged him to become. party to the sale of a certifi- cate to a Chinese for $1000. The accuser promises to have the testimony of two dentists who will swear that they paid | Dr. Tebbets money to assist certain ap- plicants to obtain certificat Another dentist will swear that another applicant informed him that he had been ap- proached by Dr. Tebbets, who demanded . The sale of the examination ques- tions to George R. Harris, F. O. Wolf and Nicholas Connor will also be exploited far more deeply than the letters already published indicate. Nothing will be left undone to give the Governor every opportunity to make a thorough investigation if he wishes to do s0.- The affair has already ndalized the dental fraternity far more than the members of the profession care to sce, and Dr. Cranz will be assisted by his pro- fessional associates to clear the name of the State board from suspicion. One of the most remarkable features of | the entire affair is the attitude sumed by Dr. G. S. Bachman, the president of the State Board of Dental Examiners. As president of the board Dr. Bachman not only refuses to call a meeting to discu and investigate the charges, but he ha | countermanded an order which he made for a session. The president makes the | startling announcement that he pos | poned the mceting which he had already called sirply because the charges against Dr. Teptets had become public propert When asked for an explanation yester- Aday of his conduct Dr. Bachman was not only reticent but evasive. He that he does not intend to call a meeting, pro- poses to make no investigation, and hs no idea who should do so except perhips the Governor. When asked if he did not | consider it strange that the State board preferred to do nothing under such con- ditiors, he replied that it was best to | | | HE scandal In the State Board of | wait for somethi | the slightest degree | formal | | | 'NEW ACCUSERS ARISE AGAINST DR.

Dr. Bachman admits tha authcrized the secretary jng for October 7 and since withdrawn the call because of the charges preferred against Dr. T The presi- dent declared that he knew nothing more £ charges than what had read all, and he then admitted that on he discussed the accusat witn anz. The president srted e had been asked for testimony by and then he declared that he knew deel week ago he to call a meet- then he has also as: no one nothing. As far as any activity on his part is concerned he said that there would be no investigation by the State board. That the State board should not rest quietly in the face of such serious charges against one of its members ar cions against others did mot occur to the president in unusual. Dr. Bach- d not heard of any did not intend to any. With that he man said that he I charges make a demand for closed the interview. There is an abundance of testimony to prove the charges against Tebbets. Dr. W. Z. King of this city will testify that Tebbets admitted to him that he had been doing crooked work as a mem- ber of the State Board for four or five years, and that his illicit traffic had Vielded on an average of $500 a year. Dr. Metcalf of Sacramento and King will be relied upon to prove that Tebbets demanded pay for a dental cer- tificate from Dr. G. H. Gazarian of Fres- no, and the latter corroborates their statement. Dr. J. L. Asay of the faculty of the Col- lege of Physicians and Surgeons will swear that he had to pay Tebbets for securing a certificate for a young lady student. Dr. L. M. Finnigan of San Jose will give evidence against the accused to the effect that Tebbets demanded and was paid $50 for securing a certificate for Dr. Finni- gan's stepson. . This is briefly what will be set forth in the formal charges which are being prepared for Dr. Cranz by Attorney Thomas D. Riordan, and which will be forwarded to the Governor to-day. No later than yesterday Dr. Cranz recefved reassurances from Dr. Asay and Dr. Met- calf that they would be ready to tell all they knew when called upon to t The Finnigan is one in which Te bets displayed unusual boldness. Finni- gan's stepson was in the midst of the ex- aminations when Tebbets approached Finnigan with the statement that the stepson was a little deficient in some branches; that a certain member of the board objected to giving him a cer- tifi but that for $i0 he could “fix” the objecting member. Finnigan paid $25 due course of time the stepson received his credentials. A short time afterward Tebbets sent a let- ter to Finnigan requesting him to pay up the balance due. A somewhat similar case is that of Dr. Asay. A young lady dental student who studied under him went before the State Board for a certificate. She w usually bright and passed a most able examination. No one thought that there would be any question of her pa: ing, and Dr. Asay w stounded when Tebbets called upon and imparted the information that several members of on account and in Continued on Second Page.
