stand lie Took as senator.
ALBANY, April 2s.-When Gov. Higgins
was chairman Of the Senate Finance Com
mttee in 1899 he vehemently protested
against the practise Of State departments
In exceeding their appropriations and
caused legislation to be enacted making
the practise unlawful. To-day he signed
a bill appropriating $4,000 10 cover de-
fciency in the Metropolitan Elections
District Bureau.
Last fall chairman Odell caused Supt.
George W. Morgan to add more men to
his force in order TO intimidate the voters
Of New York city, and there was not suf-
fioient money to pay them. Chairman
Odell advanced the money with the ex-
pectation that the Legislature would make
good the deficiency amounting 20 t27 900.
The first bill carrying an appropriation
that reached Gov. Higgins at this session
OF the Legislature was the one making an
appropriation for that amount. Gov. Hig-
gins caused the bill TO be recalled and IL
was then thought that there were doubts
as to whether he would sign the bill in view
Of the stand he had taken in 1899.
To-day he showed that he had changed
his views as Governor from those that he
entertained as State Senator, for he signed
the bill which had been returned TO him
Yesterday The bill appropriates 500 900
FOR salaries Of additional deputies IS 600 for
the expenses Of the Superintendent and
ST. 900 for a secretary.

BOWEN MAY RE RECALLED.
MIR. Tart Telegraphs n suggestion 10 the
President That He he Ordered Home.


WASHINGTON. April 2s.-Instructions may
be sent tomorrow to Herbert W. Bowen
United States Minister to Venezuela to
report in Washington at the earliest possible
moment 10 make an explanation concern
ing his charges against Francis B, LOOMS,
Assistant Secretary Of State who was Mr.
Bowen's predecessor as the United States
diplomatic representative at Caracas. Sec
rotary Taft has telegraphed a suggestion
TO President Roosevelt that Mr.. Bowen
be ordered home, and an answer is expected
tomorrow. Government officers think that
the President will acquiesce in the sugges-
ton.
From what was said IN Official quarters
to-day Mr. Bowen will not return 10 Vene-
zuela as Minister, but may he sent TO some
other South American post, although II il
intimated that the Investigation into his
charges may end with a decision not 20
retain him in the diplomatic service. II
IL il found, after complete Investigation
that Minister Bowen has been the cause Of
the publication OF the charges against Mr.
LOOMS, or II he has fostercd them, he will
undoubtedly he drOnped.
The coming action In regard TO Nene-
zuelan matters will not stop with an investi-
CATION Of the Bowen-Loomis episode IL
h well understo God that this Government
will push its desire for a settlement Of the
asphalt question and other questions pend
ing. The character Of the note which
was sent 10 Venezuela indicated clearly
that some further action was being CON
sidered, and il was understood that this
was delayed by President Roosevelt's do
parture from Washington.
Arbitration Of the asphalt case Ia con-
sidered as the only satisfactory method
for reaching a settlement, and with the re-
turn Of President Roosevelt, and possibly
sooner, under his direction from the West
there may be a renewal Of representations
to President Castro.

ALBANY, April 2s.-"It Il safe 10 say that
the sentiment Of the majority Of the As
sembly Judiciary Committee Is for the
removal Of Supreme Court Justice warren
b. Hooker"
That statement was made by a member
OF the committee tonight. The committee
sat until late tonight getting il report
ready to be submitted TO the Assembly
on Monday night. The question OF pro-
cedure after the report containing the reso-
luton for removal Is adopted and the
different causes upon which the Justice
can be removed have involved much study
While II is believed that a report providing
for removal signed by nine OF the eleven
members will be submitted, II Ia believed
that there will be a marked division on the
causes
Assemblymen Mead and Wemple, who are
controlled by William Barnes, Jr., and
Congressman George n. Southwick, two OF
the leading members OF the Tape"orn
Club Of which Justice Hooker is a Uiember,
any resolution providing for removal
Mr.. Barnes Is becoming quite active In
regard TO the Hooker investigation, and
his paper. the Albany Evening journal, u
telling the members Of the Legislature
that they should not pay any attention to
the newspaper reports concerning the
Hooker investigation or the matters that
led up TO the charges.
The rends Of Justice Hooker in the Leg
islature now admit that the committee
which has been considering the charges
will report a resolution providing for re-
moval, and they are concerned as TO what
the procedure will be. II Il known that
the report Of the committee cannot be
disposed Of before the session adjourn'
on May 5, and the Republican leaders dread
an extra session for this specific purpose.
All Of the members Of the Assembly
Judiciary Committee are pledged TO the
utmost secrecy in regard to the proceed
ings that are now being neld but the leaders
Of the Legislature are receiving informa-
ton concerning the manner in which the
committee has been proceeding and are
therefore prepared for what is to come
