ROOSEVELT DECIDES
TO CUT SHORT HUNT

Glenwood Springs, Colo, May /.
President Roosevelt will break camp
on May 8. week earlier than he in.
tended, and will start for Washington
at once. The only stops he will make
are at Denver and Chicago, where the
dates for his reception have been ad-
vanced to meet the new arrangement.
There is much speculation here as
to the presidents reasons for advanc-
ing the time Of his departure from
olorado. Secretary Loeb announces
that there is no pressing business that
requires his attention, but there are
a number of things coming up about
the middle of the month in which he
is greatly interested. What these are
the secretary would not say. 1t was
said also that there is nothing in the
Venezuelan or Dominican situations
that cannot be attended to by Secre-
tary Taft.
Hunters who are with the president
believe he has enough game to satisfy
him and will have more than enough
when camp is broken May z.

Bowen SUMMONED
VENEZUELAN Minister MUST
PROVE CHARGES.
u he Fails TO Sustain Allegations
Against Assistant Secretary OF
State LOOMS He viii Retire, Sus-
tainino Them He viii Be PrOmOt.
ed-What u Is All About.

Washington, May 1.-Secretary Taft
last week received instructions from
the president to recall Minister Bowen,
now at Caracas, to Washington, and to
direct Mr.. Russell, minister to Colon
bia, to proceed to Caracas, and Mr..
Barrett, now minister at Panama, to
go to Bogotat.
1t is stated that if Mr.. Bowen's acts
relative to the charges affecting Assist
ant Secretary LOOMS are not subject
to criticism, it is the presidents pur
pose to send him as minister to Chile,
and then probably as ambassador to
Brazil.
The cablegram to Minister Bowen,
instructing him to report at Washing
ton forthwith, was dispatched Satur-
day by Acting Secretary Loomis. 1t is
expected that Minister Bowen will
start for Washington today, although
he may wait over one steamer.
Mr.. Bowen will make his statement
to Secretary Taft, who is disposed to
deal with the case himself, and not
permit it to remain open to add to the
bulk of important business which will
confront the president on his return to
the capital.
Secretary Taft also sent a cablegram
to Mr.. Bowen Saturday stating the
reasons for his summons to Washing
ton. They ale in brief:
First-Mr. Bowen had filed charges
against MIR. LOOMS. Second-The
publication Of those charges in the
New York Herald. Third - Mr..
LOOMS counter charges that Mr..
Bowen had secured the publication.
Fifth-Mr. LOOMS desire to be con-
fronted by Mr.. Bowen here. The Sec
rotary added:
eff all goes we'll you may return to
the diplomatic service"

Milwaukee, Wis, May 1.-The
latest step in the career of Frank G..
Bigelow, who defaulted in the sum of
81, 100000, is the filing Of a petition in
involuntary bankruptcy. The revised
schedules show total liability on the
part of Mr.. Bigelow of $3,277 900, of
which 1875, 900 is wholly or in part
secured. OF the remainder, 81, ITO, 900
is secondary liability on notes and

DENTIST GETS NO OANHGcS.
Verdict in Brown Case In Favor of
State Dental COard.

Tacoma, May latter hard
fought trial in the $50, 900 damage suit
Of Dr. Edwin ]. Brown against George
W. Striker and other members of the
state dental board Of 1908, the jury ar
rived at verdict in favor of the de-
PENDANTS. Judge Chapman. in charg-
ing the jury, said:
"You are instructed that a judicial
officer is not responsible for damages
to any one for any Judgment he may
render, or decision made, however err
ring, negligently or ignorantly he may
act in rendering it, if within his own
jurisdiction"
Judge Chapman, in continuing, said
that if the action in refusing certifi-
cate to the plaintiff was a board action
there could be no damages. One mem
Der held out for the plaintiff, but this
does not affect the verdict.

TO INVADE U. p. TERRITORY.
New York Reports Hill Lines Are to
Enter New Field.

New York, May 1.-The Central
News says: flames j. Hill is to in
wade the Union Pacific territory with
new railroads, branching out from his
Great Northern and Northern Pacific,
according to report credited in high
quarters in Wall street.
IAN era Of competitive railroad
building is to be substituted for the
disastrous competitive buying Of stock
that has disturbed Wall street lately.
IA truce has been declared between
the Hill-Mor0an group and the Stand
ard Oil party in the tsock market only.
It is generally understood that E. H.
Hartman has turned 80 many of his
stocks into cash that he no longer is
the dominant power in Union Pacific.
The Standard Oil having found him
lacking in actual stocks has made a
treaty with Morgan and Hill that
leaves Hartman in the company mere
ly as nominal master.
but this treaty does not bind the
hands of either party, and the Hill
Morgan people propose to settle the
problem of freight rates by building
roads into the disputed territory. They
thus will have club with which to
enforce peace, irrespective Of courts or
stock markets.
THE particular field to be invaded
first is that served by the Oregon Short
Line. The Great Northern already
completes with the Oregon Railway
and Navigation Company at Portland.
But it is now stated that lines are to
be dropped from the Great Northern
into other portions of the Union Pa
cifio territory, Southern Oregon, Cali
fornia, Utah and the great Middle
West are to be invaded if the present
plans are contaminated.
"The Great Northern is in posi-
ton to convert assets in its treasury
into enough cash to build the proposed
lines without adding to its capital ac-
count. The Northern Pacific is also
remarkably strong with regard to as
sets available for new construction.

CHARGES AGAINST LOOMS
Original Accusation Which CauSee
Bowen to Be Recalled.

Original Accusation Which Caused
Bowen to Be Recalled.
Following is the dispatch to the
New York Herald containing the
charges in the Bowen-Loo scandal:
Caracas, Venezuela, April 3D.
either the American minister to Ven
ezuela should be removed or the first
assistant secretary of state should be
asked to step out Of his office in Wash
ington," was the startling statement
made by a dispassionate observer of
Venezuelan affairs in Caracas today.
This same idea has occurred to many
persons who have visited Caracas re-
Gently and who have remained there
long enough to obtain some inkling of
the diplomatic scandal centering
around the two officials designated.
This scandal racks the entire commu-
nifty and is of such nature that,
whether true or false, it seems impossi-
BILE that the two officials can continue
much loner in the same department of
the government.
Briefly stated, the scandal, which is
now public property in this capital,
involves the allegation that while act.
ing as United States minister to Ven
ezuela, present Assistant Secretary Of
State Loomis obtained considerable
pecuniary benefits from the New York
& Bermuda Asphalt Company and that
check showing a payment Of $40, 900
to him by the company is now in the
possession of President Castro. This,
it is held by many persons, supplies
the true explanation of President Cas-
tro's continued defiance of the United
States in the asphalt matter. 1t is
said to haze clogged the free action Of
that government, which is not anxious
for the ventilation of an administra-
ton scandal.
Other charges against Loomis are
that, while minister, he purchased for
a trifiing sum claim for $4,000
against the Venezuelan government
and then used his influence as minister
to collect the full amount.
Still another document is apparently
draft of contract entered into be-
tween Loomis and one Meyer, under
which LOOMS agreed to use his influ-
ence to adjust heavy outstanding obi
cations of Venezuela to the amount of
SIC, 900, O0O for consideration of one
seventh of that sum, or, nominally,
81 ,4O0,O
The allegati MS against Loomis have
been laid before the state department
in Washington. Secretary Hay, Act
ing Secretary Taft and President Roos-
evelt are cognizant of them.

CLOSED SEASON FOR CLANS.
Law Does Not Apply to puget Sound
BeaCheS

Olympia. May 1.-The new clam
closed season law does not apply to
Puget sound,," said Assistant Attorney
General Booth. There seems to be a
general idea that it does. but that is a
mistake. 1t applies solely to CLAIMS
dug on beaches Of the Pacific ocean,"
While the clam bill was before the
legislature it was subjected to many
amendments. At one time it provided
for closed season for all clam dis
tricts.
The Puget sound portion of the bill
was apparently eliminated in the clos
ing days of the session, as it does not
appear in the bill as it has officially
reached the office of the attorney gen
eral. The law carried an emergency
clause and is in effect now. The closed
season the ocean begins May /.

TO CALL GRAND JURY.
Portland City Council Is to Be In.
veStigated.

V~Sss0Os~0s
Portland, Or, May I.-Charges of
graft have become so persistent in con-
nection with the Portland city council
that a grand jury will be summoned
early in May and the allegations prob
ed. Charges Of bribery have frequent
ly been whispered Of late in connection
with sudden changes Of front on the
part of councilmen on public ques-
tions. The finger of suspicion has
been pointed at several aldermen, but
as yet only Councilman G. E. Rumme-
lin has been indicted. The offense
charged against him is the Offering Of
a bribe to City Engineer Elliott in con.
nection with the Front street bridge.
He is also charged with having &C.
cepted 5000 from the Pacific States
Telephone Company for his vote in
keeping out the Sumner Automatic
Telephone Company of Los Angeles,
which sought franchise here. In
this latter deal four other councilmen
are said to be implicated.
Charges Of city corruption have
become so general that they embrace
nearly every official Connected with the
present administration, said District
Attorney Manning. "a grand jury is
absolutely imperative"

finest BEET SEED
Washington PRODUCT BEST IN
The WORLD.
Result OF Agricultural Department
Experiments Given Out-Half
the Sugar Beet Seed Raised IN
The United States Grows In
This State,

Washington, May 1.-The best sugar
beet seed in the United States has been
producted in the state Of Washington,
and Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
remarked in course of conversation
that this was very significant fact
for the beet sugar producing interests
in this country. 1t may not be gener-
ally known that, although the beet
sugar industry in the United States
has reached large proportions, nearly
all the seed for producing the beets
are imported from foreign countries.
Experiments in the production of
sugar beet seed were carried on at
Fairfield, Wash, last year, and the
results have been most satisfactory
In the etate of Washington last season
$4,000 pounus were produced, out Of
a total of 100, 900 pounds for the whole
country. 1t has been found that. while
Washington has produced the largest
quantity, these seeds produce beets Of
greater saccharine strength, generally
speaking, than the seeds produced else
where in the United States or abroad.
1t might seem that 1862, 900 pounds Of
sugar beet seed would 90 long way
toward supplying the demand of the
United States, but such is not the case
for 100000 pounds are annually used
in this country, and the amount is in.
creasing. Secretary Wilson thinks the
United States will produce all Of its
sugar beet seed within few years,
and the prospect is that Washington
will continue to be the leading state in
this industry.
Some Of the seed raised in Washing
ton produced beets last year testing as
high as "a per cent sugar, while the
average for all seed raised in this coun-
try was 1873 per cent. Yet the aver
age for all beets grown in the United
States is only about II per cent, so it
may be inferred from this that the for
eign seeds do not produce beets of
nearly so large saccharine strength.
