The Grand Jury yesterday began an
investigation of the affairs of the Con-
tinental Building and Loan Society
and the conduct of its business by
William Corbin, secretary and man
ager. 1t has been alleged that five
years ago he used over 100000 of the
society's funds in private enterprises
contrary to law and that last year he
appropriated $4,000 for personal use
from the cash entrusted to his care.
1t appears that no claim is made that
the society was made to suffer, for ac-

DETECTIVE CONSENTS.

Corbin secured the consent of Itch
enor to lend his aid in the matter He
told him he must not allow Jordan to
get the money and pay the Senators
without witnesses seeing the transac-
ton. Corbin did not know the Renters
or the Proehix knew anything about it.
There, was a mistake made in the
number of Corbin's residence in Sacra-
mento, and Tichenor telephoned he
could not find it. There also came a
telephone from Tichenor saying the
party who was to pay the coin was on
a strike and demanded $3.50 instead of
Sl5O Tor himself, and that he would not
see any Senator until it came. Itch
enor also said jordan was having
trouble with the Senators. One Of
them wanted TO take the money from
no one but Jordan, and one wanted to
take all of it, but the others did not
want him TO. Word was sent to Itch

is, in fact, impossible to confirm
the serious allegations either from
officials of the asphalt company
here, from their opponents, or
from the officials of the Venezue-
Ian government.
Other charges that have been
made against Mr.. hoomis are that
while minister at Venezuela he
purc chased for a trifing sum a
claim. for $4,000 against the Vene-
zuelan government. and then used
his influence as minister to collect
thssftlll amount from the govern
ment.
Still another document that has
been transmitted to Washington
is apparently the draft of a con-
tract entered into between Mr..
Loomis and one Meyer, under
which Mr.. Loomis, then American
minister, agrees to use his infu-
ence to adjust the heavy out
standing obligations of Venezuela
to the amount of $10,000,000 for a
consideration of one-seventh Of
that sum, or nominally 81, 100000.
These latter two documents are
said to have been found among
papers in the American legation
in Caracas by Minister Bowen.

Caracas, Venezuela, April 27.-
"Either the American minister
should be removed from Vene-
zuela or the assistant secretary OF
state should be asked to step out
of his office at Washington" is
the startling statement made by a
dispassionate observer of Vene-
zuelan affairs in Caracas.
1t is an open secret that the al
legations against Frank Loomis
were laid before the state depart
ment in Washington, and that
Secretary Hay, Acting Secretary
Taft and President Roosevelt are
cognizant of the matter. Not only
this, but as the scandal is a mat
ter of common property in Cara
cas- it has been communicated to
various chancelleries of Europe by
the ministers accredited to Vene-
zuela.
AS a matter of justice to Assis-
tant Secretary of State Loomis, it
should be said that the proofs of
his alleged monetary dealings
with the asphalt company are in
no way conclusive, and rest en-
tirely on secondary evidence. 1t
