strung condition.

is not always spoken of as a very ju-
dicious man and he has on prior oc-
casions antagonized the President by
his pronounced individuality.
When the asphalt question was to
be submitted to arbitration Bowen
suggested that the entire controversy
be left in the hands of Secretary Hay
and this Is believed to have fretted the
President somewhat, as the chief ex-
ecutive thought that it would have
been more courteous for Bowen to
have suggested that the President be
given the power of judgment. Be-
sides this, the President is very close
ly identified with Loomis. The Assist
ant Secretary of State is one of the
highest officials in the Government
service and Mr.. Roosevelt places i'm
plicit confidence in him. Evidence of
a very convincing character will have
to be offered before the Presidents
faith in his friend will be shaken.
LOOMS REMAINS CALM.
1t is doubtful how far Bowen will
go in pressing his charges. The report
is current that he may decide to drop
them and end by explaining that he
merely offered evidence in the matter
at the instigation of Castro, did so Of
ficially and is therefore personally abb
solved from the necessity to prove the
allegations. He may possibly say that
it was in his belief the duty of the
United States Government to have in
stantly ordered an investigation, COM
mencing with the Bank of Caracas
and Castro himself. On the other
hand. Bowen may have determined to
fight to the last ditch. in which case
those who know of his persevering
and determined nature declare that
highly sensational case may be the
outcome.
Loomis gives little heed to the sto-
ries and calmly and industriously goes
about his work not in the least per-
turbed. He says most emphatically
that there is absolutely no foundation
for the charges and that they will be
SO easily refuted that it is not worth
his while to bother about them. His
official denial he says, covers every
point of the defense and he tried 20
make it as specific as he could. Never
in Loomis' career has there ever be-
fore been the slightest suggestion that
he was other than most painstaking
and scrupulously honest public Of
fetal. The management Of affairs un-
der his control has been most admir-
able and his system Of working a
model of business sagacity.
President Roosevelt's early return
to washington from his hunting trip
was not inspired by the Loomis-Bow-
en- incident. 1t is said at the State

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON, May 13.-Assistant
Secretary of State LOOMS and Minister
to Venezuela Bowen will soon face
each other in the State Department
and one of the most sensational prob
lens in governmental affairs that has
annoyed the President will be ex-
planned. The President is determined
that the investigation o. the Bowen
charges shall be thorough and that if
the public service demands it the
Resignation of both officials involved
in the asphalt trust incident will be
3eked.
Officials of the various departments
are inclined to favor Loomis and to
give his version of the exchange Of
checks at Caracas credence. However,
there is one question that will be put
to LOOMS that will be harder to answer
than any other, viz: why did LOOMS
exchange checks with concern which
was In serious difficulty with the Cas-
tro Government. and which was the
subject of grave diplomatic inquiry
at the time of the transaction between
the company and the American Min
ister?"
Friends Of LOOMS answer in adj
vance this pertinent query. They say
that the ex-Minister IL a man of i'm
pulse in private affairs as well as BUSH
ness transactions. There was no bust
ness concern other than the Bank OF
Caracas that could have handled the
exchange SO we'll as the asphalt COM
pany and Loomis quickly decided that
1t was obviously his right to enter into
business deal involving simply the
passing OF two checks. Loomis' check
in favor OF the asphalt company. they
say, will be offered in evidence that the
Minister acted in good faith and could
not possibly have proflted by the trans
action.

HIGH LICENSE ASSOCIATION
HOLDS ANIMATED MEETING
Speakers Say Interests of Community
Demand That Fee for Retail Liquor
Traffic he Increased.

The High License Association held its
monthly meeting at the assembly rooms of the
Parrot building last night. A large and in
terested audience was present. Those compos-
ing it listened attentively to the remarks made
by the various speakers. John w. Hatch. vice
president OF the association, was the principal
speaker of the evening. His remarks, like
those of the other speakers. were to the effect
that for the benefit OF the community 1t was
necessary to consider plans to support and
uphold the interests OF higher liquor licenses.
Mr. Hatch said:
'san Francisco exacts the lowest retail
liquor license fee of any large city in the
United States The average license fee OF the
fourteen largest cities In the United States,
other than San Francisco is $500 per year.
while we only charge $S4 for the same privi-
lege. San Francisco has more saloons than
any other large city. In the fourteen largest
cities In the United States other than San
Francisco the average number of people for
each saloon Is about 450, while here 1t Is one
saloon for every 10 people, as based on the
census of 1900.
'The experience of other large cities has
demonstrated that license fee of from $500
to $1,000 secures the best regulation OF the re-
tail liquor traffic and the best results under q
license system.

lines.
