U. S. MINISTER BOWEN

sal From Service.
Mr.. LOcMlS CALLED NDISCREET.

nounces the Conduct Of the Late Minister

Says lie Devoted Himself to Hunting Up
Scandal and Gossip.

Washington (Specia) The dismiss
al Of Merbert W. Bowen, for many years
United States minister to Venezuela,
and the exoneration Of Assistant Secre-
tary OF State Francis b. I,oomis OF the
allegations brought against him by Mr.
Bowen are the outcome OF the LOOMS
Bowen controversy, which has attracted
wide attention for many months past
This disposition OF the case is made
by President Roosevelt in letter ad-
dressed to Secretary Taft, approving
Mr. Taft's report on his findings and
conclusions in the case. The President
scathingly arraigns Minister Bowen, de-
claring that his conduct SIS especially
reprehensible that Mr.. Bowen asked
one of his witnesses TO enter the en-
ploy OF a certain company for the pur-
pose, "in plain words, of stealing docu-
ments which he hoped might incriminate
Mr.. Loomis, and that Mr.. Bowen had
evidently for many months, indeed for
the last two years, devoted himself to
hunting up scandal and gossip until 1t
became mononania and caused HIM
ito show complete disloyalty' 10 the
country he represented
The President says he had helped to
promote Mr.. Bowen, as during much
of his service he had done good work,
but that his usefulness in the diplomats
service is now at an end.

rect that Mr. Bowen's resignation be
requested, but for his statement that
he would consider a resignation an adj
mission OF misconduct. and the dismiss
al is therefore ordered The letter
quotes correspondence and testimony,
The President states that it appear:
that MIR Bowen. while minister, SC.
cured the publication of attacks on Mr.
Loomis and furnished TO the press doc
uments pending before the State De
partmentt for approval. and that his ex-
planation is inexcusablc and shows his
entire unfiness' for the service. Even
if Mir Loomis had been guilty, says the
President, Mr. Bowen's conduct would
be objectionable The letter quotes GER
tain correspondence and testimony. The
report OF Secretary Taft on the case, on
which the Presidents action is based, IS
voluminous document reviewing the
charges and the evidence taken
In his report Secretary Taft says that
there was nothing dishonorable in the
transactions in which Mr.. Loomis fig
ured, but that he was not discreet. The
report says that Mr. Loomis was not
justified in becoming personally interest
ed in any Of the schemes, either with
a mere nominal interest or substantial
interest. He holds, however, that Mr..
Ioomis has been most cruelty SLAM
dered." commends him for the self
restraint with which he has met the
charges, and points out that Mr. l.oomis'

onal investments, etc
