BowEN's CHARGES.
He Accuses a Newspaper Man and Then
Retreats.


Washington, May 23.-An incident
which occurred yesterday, when Herbert
Bowen met j. q. Dater the New York
newspaper man who first published the
charges against Assistant Secretary Of
State Loomis, in the reception room of
Secretary Tufts Office, Is regarded as
highly significant in the Bowen LOOMS
case by those who We're present.
Ii was Mr.. Bowen's first meeting
with Mr.. Dater since Dater's recent re-
turn from Venezuela, and when the two
came face to face MIR. Bowen quickly de-
manded before q number Of persons to
know why Mr.. Dater had broken faith
with him by publishing crges against
Mr. LOOMS. Mr. Dater iJpiied instant
ly that he had not broken faith, and
it is understood that he also told Secre-
tary Taft that he did not get all OF
bis information concerning the charges
against Mr. Loomis from Mr.. Bowen.
BY many Mr.. Bowens remarks are
taken to Indicate very plainly that lie
had talked With Mr.. Dater Of the charges
against Mr. LOOMS. AZ this Is the
very thing that Mr.. LOOMS charges Mr..
Bowen's talk is regarded as incriminat-
ing, although Il is understood that IN
his testimony Mr. Bowen does not deny
entirely that lie talked 81 the charges
in Caracas, but he does deny that he
was responsible Tor or inspired their
publication.
Dir. Dater came to Washington YES
terday morning, and went To see Score
tary Taft, to whom be made a long
statement. II IS understood that he
denied a portion Of the allegations in
an affidavit which has been offered to
show that Mr.. Bowen was responsible
for Mr.. Dater's publishing the charges.
u is said that the affidavit is from New
York lawyer who says that he talked
with Dater about the charges.
Another development in the case il
the suggestion from Mr. Bowen that
Mr.. Loomis be made to produce his
check book and stubs TO show that his
transaction with the asphalt company
was entirely valid.
The meeting Of Mr.. Bowen ana Mr..
Dater had a sequel when Mr.. Bowen
had seen Secretary Taft and had been
told OF what Mr.. Dater had testified.
Mr. Bowen then said that he had been
unjust to Mr.. Dater in accusing him.
