This is the list of city officers
elected at the city election on Tues
day. II contains few surprises, the
election having resulted just about as
forecasted.
In many ways it was the most unu-
sua1 city election ever held in the city.
The vote cast in the entire city
amounted to only 2, Oo2 votes, and it is
evident that a large number Of the
members of both the Democratic and
Republican parties decided to stay at
home and let the election go as fate
would turn it. The Social Democrats
alone turned out with their full
strength, and the vote po11ed by their
city ticket was almost as large as the
vote po1led in the last general cleo
ton. The Socialists, however, failed
to score, as they lost a member of the
council, and the only one of their
number elected to Office was Rude
A. Kriegsman, the candidate for
school commissioner in the Eighth
ward. sa-seof
AS a result of the election the
Democracy takes a firmer hold on the
city council, gaining an alderman in
the First ward, where James H.
O 'Brien defeated William Rowe by a
plurality of 81 votes, and in the Fifth
ward, where John Thommesen de-
feated the Republican candidate,
Harry o. Whitbeck, by a plurality of
81 votes. The Democrats have a
chance of gaining another member of
| the council in the Third ward, as
]. II. Tu11y managed to tie with K. P.
Knudsen, the Republican candidate,
and the contest will have to be settled
by chance in the council. - "
AS to the school board, the election
resulted in loss to the Democrats,
as the board will now be composed of
eight Democrats and seven Repub-
| 1icans, with the Social Democrat to
reckon with.
The only real contest in the election
was between w. ]. Boyle and Ben
jamin O. Sturges, the rival candi-
dates for justice of the peace, and IL
this contest Sturges distanced his OPP
ponent so far that it will be some
time before he finds himself. Boyle
carried but two wards in the city, and
in these wards his plurality over
Sturges amounted to but % votes. In
strong Democratic wards, even where
Sturges was handicapped by the fact
that there was no Republican ward
tickets in the field, he won glorious
victory over Boyle, getting plurality
in the First, Sixth and Fifth wards,
which are heavily Democratic.
The result of the election from the
| tally sheets is as follows:

Washington, June 22.-The dismissal
Of Herbert w. Bowen, for some years
United states minister to Venexuela,
and the generation of Assistant Sec
lsTetary of State Francis b. LOOMS OF
! b allegations brought against him by
Yl1E. Bowen are the outcome OF the Loo
mis-Bowen controversy, which has at
tracted wide attention for many
] months past.
I This disposition of the case 10
ter addressed to Secretary Taft, made
public last night, approving Mr.. Taft's
report on his findings M conclusions
in the case. The president sc%athingly
arraigns Minister Bowen, declaring
that his conduct is especially repre-
hensible';; that Minister Bowen asked
one OF his own witnesses to enter. h
lemploy of a certain company for the
purpose, lin plain words, CT stealing
documents which he hoped might in-
eliminate Mr.. LOOMS, and that Mr..
Bowen has evidently for months, in
deed for the last two a devoted
himself to hunting UP scandal and
gossip until it became a monomania,
and caused him to show complete dis
Loyalty" to the country he represented.
The president says he had hoped to
promote Mr.. Bowen, as during much of
his service he had done good work,
but that his usefulness in the diplo-
matte service is now at an end. The
president adds hat he would direct
that Mr.. Bowen's resignation be re-
quested but for his statement that he
would consider that resignation an adj
mission of misconduct, and the dis
missal is therefore ordered.
The letter quotes correspondence and
testimony. The president states that
1t appears that Bowen, While minister.
secured the publication of attacks on
Mr.. LOOMS AID furnished to the press
documents pending before the state
department for APPROVAL, and that his
conduct is ~inexcusable and shows .his
entire u%nf1tness for the service"
Even 1t Mr.. Loomis had been guilty,
says the president, Mr.. Bowen's con-
ter quotes certain correspondence and
testimony.
Report Of Secretary Taft.
The report of Secretary Taft on the
case on which the presidents action is
based is a voluminous document, re-
viewing he charges and the evidence
taken. In his report Secretary Taft
says that there was nothing dishon-
orable in the transactions in which Mr..
LOOMS figured, but that he was not
discreet. The report says tina Mr..
personally interested in any of the
schemes either with a mere nominal
interest or a substantial interest. He
holds, however, that MI. LOOMS has
been most cruelty s,andered," COM
mends him for the self restraint with
! which he has met the charges and
! points out that Mr.. LOOMS bitter ex-
essary to point out the moral that a
minister nno afford in the country
to which he is accredited to make per-
sonal Investments, etc.
