Dismissed Outright.

The president says he had hoped to
promote Mr.. Bowen, as during much Of
= his service lie had done good work. but
that his usefulness in the diplomatic
service is now at an end. The president
adds that he would direct that MI Bow
ems resignation be requested. but for
his statement that he would consider a
resignation an admission of misconduct
and the dismissal is therefore ordered.
The letter quotes correspondence and
testimony. The president states that
it appears that Mr.. Bowen. while minis
ter. secured the publication OF attacks
on Mr. LOOmis. and furnished to the
press documents pending before the
state department for approval. and that
his explanation is ineXcusable, and
shows his "entire unfitness" for the
SERVICE Even if Mr.. LOOMS had been
guilty, says the president, Mr.. BoWens
conduct would be objectionable.
Taft's Report.
The report Of Secretary Taft on the
case, on which the presidents action is
based. is a vOluminOus document. re-
viewing the charges and the evidence
taken. In his report. Secretary Taft
says that there was nothing dishonor-
able in the transactions in which Mr..
LOOMS figured, but that he was not dis
Greet. The report says that Mr.. Loom
is was not justified in becoming per-
sonally interested in any Of the schemes
either with mere nominal interest or
substantial interest. He holds, how
ever, that Mr. LOOMS has been most
cruelty slandered,' cOmmends him for
the self-restraint with which he has
met the charges, and points out that
Mr. LOOMS bitter experience in this
case makes it unnecessary to point out
the moral that a minister cannot afford
in the country to which he is accredited
to make personal investments.

BORE ULTIMATUM OF INITIAL
LINES
General Manager r. E. Wells of the
Salt Lake Road Back From Mon-
tana, Which He Says Was Mere
Pleasure Trip

General Manager r. E. Wells of the
Salt Lake road returned to Los An
geles last night by special train from
Butte, Mont, where, it is said, he went
to enlighten Senator w. A. Clark as
to the conditions by which the Salt
Lake road is now practically shut off
from competition with the initial lines
into Los Angeles.
Mr.. Wells attended the conference
of railroad officials Of the three lines,
which was called in San Francisco last
week, to effect a settlement of the ter
minal and switching dispute. When
the adjournment of the meeting took
place last Friday night, officials who
were in attendance said the conditions
existed as previous to the conference,
and General Manager Wells so ap-
prised Mr.. Clark.
Mr.. Wells on his return last night
said: II went to Butte on a little pleas
ure tour and as the guest of Senator
Clark"
"Do you think there will be an ami
able adjustment of the differences be-
tween Nuc Sdll LAKE, the southern fh-
cific and the Santa Fe?" he was
asked.
yes, I think So" he replied.
"Will Senator Clark be In Salt Lake
during the visit of the Los Angeles
chamber of commerce?" was the next
question.
Yes, indeed" he answered 1T
would be impossible to keep him away
from there on that occasion. He will
be in Salt Lake to meet the Los An
geles contingent when it arrives
there June 12."
one of the objects of Mr.. Wells tour
was to make an inspection of the
road, this being accomplished by day
light travel only.
There remains some work yet to be
done in the way of ballasting and the
other details OF a new road which de-
mand constant attention, but the line
is IN excellent condition and l am
pleased with the general aspect Of
everything" he said.

PASADENA. May 3t.-Motorman Gil
bert Lee Bridges was severely burned
about the face and hands by a sheet of
flame which sprung from the controller
of his car coming from Los Angeles
this evening.
The accident caused considerable ex-
element on the crowded car, which ran
for some distance without anyone in
control. as Bridges jumped from the car
when he found that he could not work
the air brake because of the pain from
the burns. However, the conductor
succeeded in halting the runaway car
from the rear end by removing the
trolley pole, thereby causing a cessation
of the flames, which were setting fire
to the roof Of the car.
Bridges hands were burned to a
blister and his eyebrows were singed
Had he not kept them closed the chances
are that his eyesight would have been
impaired. He went to his home on
East Orange avenue after the accident
and the burns were dressed there by
DR.. John Newton. The accident to the
car was caused by short circuit and
for the space of a minute the entire
front of the car resembled an I'M
promptu display of fireworks, resulting
in a general scramble among passengers
for a place Of sefety. Except the motor
man, who made plucky effort to stop
his car, no one was injured. Bridges
is So years of age and has a family.

Is superstition increasing? Are there
many superstitious persons I'm Los An
geles? Well, you would have thought
so If you had heard the telephone bells
ringing in the Herald office yesterday.
And all because there was a ring
around the sun. Not a political ring,
which was contemplating selling the
franchise for all the sunshine for sew
enty-five years to a bunch of boodlers
for four bits, but a plain ring, that at
times looked like a rainbow.
Scientists said that several miles
above the earth was cold wave or
strata of air In this strata were mil
lions of tiny particles of ice, and the
sunlight on these particles made the
ring. 1t was also prophesied that on
the higher mountains in the main
range a hail storm would soon ma
teriallze.
Many of the inquiries were from per-
sons who desired to know what it
meant Others were afraid it was a
sign" in the heavens, warning the
people of the earth of some awful and
portentous event.
One woman wanted to know If 1t
meant that the town was going dry,
still another hoped the sign in the
heavens pointed to a victory for the
vets. All morning the inquiries came
ill, to at last be stopped by the dis
appearance of the ring.
