The cure for bank failures is to compel
bank directors to direct He has pointed
out that in many cases where banks have
failed it has been shown on investiga-

Hitherto whenever bank examiner
mas reported loose methods or careless
ness in a bank the Comptroller has writ

" replies were received from the presl-

dressed to the bank, but at the foot is a
note stating that the reply must be
signed by each director of the bank.
This is done for the purpose of making

Williamstown, Mass. (SpeciaD.-The

Williamstown, after he had received from

of scarcely 81 hours duration, was
busy one. He attended three college

several hundred miles, and, besides de-

The President rose early and leaned
from a window to enjoy the superb view
of the Berkshire country. After break
fast the President devoted few minutes
to meeting the classmates of Federal
Commissioner James R. Garfield, who i;
a trustee of Williams, and then made a
quick inspection of the new memorial
chapel. After a short walk the Presi-

for drive, which ended just before the
commencement exercises began. He
spoke twice here, once upon receiving
the degree and again from the steps OF
the church, where the commencement ex-

not get into the auditorium.

ATTEMPT TO HOLD UP TRAIN.
Western Robbers Were Poied-Bandits Could
Not Operate Engine.

Tacoma, Wash. Especially. - Train
robbers made an unsuccessful attempt
to hold . up the North Coast Limited
from the Twin Cities, three miles west
of Puyallup. A man boarded the train
at Puyallup, and when the train was
three miles from the station ordered
the engineer to stop the train at hre
which was burning near the tracks. In
gineer Woods did not stop the train
until half mile beyond the fire. Brake
man Harkins ran up to the engine to
see what the trouble was and the BAN
dit shot at him.
Harkins threw his lantern into the
ditch and started back for the train.
The bandit then ordered the engineer
and the conductor to get out of the way,
while he made all attempt to back the
train to the fire, where his confederates
were stationed. He failed to get the
engine started, and called for the engl-
neer to come back. The robber then
began to realize his position, and as
the engineer stepped into the cab he
fired twice, one bullet fattening on the
boiler head. The bandit then jumped
to the ground and ran into the brush.
The train pulled into Tacoma, leaving
the fireman and brakeman behind, as
thew were unable to catch the train.
An engine was sent out for them, and
thew were brought in this morning.

U. S. MINISTER BOWEN
President Roosevelt Orders His DiSmiS
sal From Service.
Mr.. LOGMIS CALLED NDlSCREEI.
Ia His Letter, Mr.. Roosevelt Bitterly De-
nounces The Conduct Of the Late Minister
TO Venezuela As complete Dls!oyalfy'-
Says lie Devoted Himself to Hunting Up
Scandal and Gossip.

Washington (SpeciaD 1.-The dismiss
al of herbert w. Bowen, for many years
United States minister to Venezuela
and ~exoneration of Assistant Secre-
tary of State Francis B. LOOMS OF the
allegations brought against him by Mr.
Bowen are the outcome of the oomls-
Bowen controversy, which has attra0e1
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 ana
conclusions in the case. The President
scathingly arraigns Minister Bowen. de-
claring that his conduct is especially
reprehensible; that Mr.. Bowen asked
one of his witnesses to enter the ell
ploy of a-certan company for the .pur-
pose, ''in plain words, of stealing oocu-
ments which he hoped might incriminate
Mr.. LOOMS. and that Mr. Bowen had
evidently for many months, indeed lor
the last two years, devoted himself TO
hunting up scandal and gossip until II
became a monomania and caused HIM
ito show complete disloyalty" 10 the
country he represented.
The President says he had helped 10
promote Mr. Bowen, as during much
of his service he had done good WORK,
but that his usefulness in the dipio''iatie
service is now at an end. :.
The President adds that lie would al
rect that Mr.. Bowers resignation De
requested, but for his statement tha'
he would consider a resignation an ao'
mission of misconduct, and the dismiss
al is therefore ordered. The letter
quotes correspondence and testimony
The President states that it appear:
that Mr.. Bowen, while minister, Sc
cured the publication of attacks on Mr.
LOOMS and furnished to the press doc
uments pending before the State De-
partmentt for approval, and that his ex
PLANTATION is inexcusabe and shows MS
centre unftness" for the service. Even
if Mr.. LOOMS had been guilty, says the
President, Mr.. Bowers conduct wouIo
he unpardonable. The letter quotes GER
tain correspondence and testimony. Inc
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.. LOOMS ilg-
ured. but that he was not discreet. The
report says that Mr.. LOOMS was moi
justified in becoming personally interest
ed in any of the schemes. either WIN
a mere nominal interest or substantial
interest. He holds, however, that Mr.
Loomis has been "most cruelty SIAN
dered." commends him for the self
restraint with which he has met the
charges, and points out that Mr. LOOMS
bitter experience in this case makes II
unnecessary to point out the moral thai
minister cannot afford in the country
to which he is accredited to make per-
onal investments. etc.
