THE HEARING OF DIR. BOWERS
CHARGES.
Portland. February 81, 1901.
b fha Editor of he Press,

Portland, February 81, 1901.
TO the Editor ofhe Pres9
In his speech in the Maine House OF
Representatives yesterday, Mr.. Haskell
speaking OF the so-cAlled Blowers Inves-
tigatioui' before the Trustees Of the
Maine Eye and Ear Intirmary said, "Dr
Bowers submitted evidence In support Of
his charges wnicn were totally ignored. /"
Mr.. Haakell, In another part of his re-
marks calls the nesting which was held
for the purpose Of listening to the So
called charge Of DIR. Bowers, al "ingves-
tigation." Perhaps the member from
windhAm knows the difference between a
meeting held for the purpose Of hearing
evidence to sustain charges, and an inves-
tigation II he does, 1t Is not apparent
from his remarks. Now, think that DIR
bowers and his friends will do me the
Justice to say that did every thing pos
sibIe to secure for him q fair and Impair
tial h caring. When Other members of
the Board Of Trustees desired to ignore
his charges unless they were presented
seriRtim in writing, / insisted that he
should be Permitted to present them IN
hts own way. My views relative TO the
presentation and consideration of the
charges OF DIR, Bowers prevailed.
/ think 1 speak for at least four-tfths
OF the TruEtees when / soy that 1t was
our Intention TO do as we did, va, near
patiently the evidence submitted by him
and then fearlessiy, honestly and iInpRr-
italy render a decision upon the chArgea
according to the evidence,
Speaking for myself must confess that
while l was, II anything, preJudiced In
favor OF DIR. BoweSs. that i was simply
amazed at the weakness Of his case. In
the legal accsptation Of the term there
was not q snintilla of evidence TO support
his charges. His so-oalled evidence was
simply a chaos, an inooherent tumble OF
conjecture, hear-say testimony, In word,
absolute rubbish. 1 aay with all sinceri-
ty, and with all kindness TO DIR. Bowers,
for whom / have personally the highest
respect, that as u lawyer 1 could not CON-
scientlously do otherwise than did, via /,
record my convictions that enc "charges
by Dr. Bowers against DIR. Holt were ut
terry without foundation. ANY lawyer
worthy OF the name, or any careful man
OF affairs, who carefully peruses the re-
port of that hearing, will. am conn :
dent, agree with me that the action OF
the Trustses in exonerstiug Dr. Holt
and In recording thetr opinion tnas tue
charges OF DIR Bowers were NOT sustained
by the evidence, was the only consistent
and proper action for them TO take The
hearing has heen truly called a farce. /,
too, am OF tn &c opinion. I3uS DIR. Bowers,
who attempted to dignity mis- assertions
and evidence by the names OF "chRrges
and "proofs," and not the Trustees who
properly refused to condemn DIR. Holt, Is
responsible for the farce.
Very Respectfully,
WILLIAM Ii. LOONEY.

A distinguished lawyer who had to
choose between a number OF students,
who wished to study for the profession In
his office, sat down to chat with them,
and after a while began TO tell story

The lawyer pictured the rapid succession
of incidents ytvidly, tiiuging himself In
to the narrative with enthuaiAsm, and
when hs closed, the boys naturally fell
into comment on ths ssory. One spoke
of the difficulty OF resouing horses from

whether presents of winter roses or Unit

she keeps the suffrage issue always in
