Dismissed OUTRIGHT.

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 diplomatic
service is now at an end. The president
adds that he would direct that Mr. 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.. LOOMS, and furnished to the
press documents pending before the
state department for approval, and that
his explanation is inexcusable, and
shows his 'sentire unftness" for the
service. Even if Mr.. LOOMS had been
guilty, says the president, Mr.. Bowen's
conduct would be objectionable.
Taft's Report.
The report of Secretary Taft on the
case, on which the presidents action is
based, is 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. Loomis 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 minister cannot afford
in the country to which he is accredited
| to make personal Investments.

The selection of Portsmouth was mutu-
belligerents, as, besides being cool and
comfortable place for this season of the

WILSON STANDS PAT.
Secretary of Agriculture Doesn't Fear
a Libel Suit.

Washington, July 10.-That Secre-
tary Wilson intends to take no step
backward in his report on the cotton
leak investigation was evidenced today
by his statement that he was not
afraid of any libel suit which may be
filed against him by Mr. Price or 9TH
ers mentioned in the report. He said
he would welcome such action because
it might be the means of developing
some facts not already uncovered ard
which it is desirable to know.
This is quarrel among gamblers, "
he said, brought about by the dis
satisfaction of some of them in not
have nothing to take back As the
head of an executive department it
was my duty and my right to give the
public the result of the investigation
by the secret service agents into the
charges which had been filed leading
up to the dismissal of Mr.. Holmes
The secretary added that he had
given consideration to Mr.. Prices re-
quest as presented through his At
torney William M. WINS of New York,
ITO withdraw the unjust offensive and
unsustained charges and implications, -
and had reached the determination to
take no further action in the matter.
He said he would not communicate
with Mr.. Price or his attorney in any
way.

Oyster Bay. L. L, July lot is re-
garded here as not unlikely that Grim

investigation of the cotton report leak
in the department of agriculture.
While no decision to institute GRIM
ina1 proceedings has been reached the
subject is being considered by Attorney
General Moody who will later take the
matter up with the president.

Walter Scott, Miner of Death
Valley, California,
Is Flying Across the Continent
in Special Train.
TO LOWER THE RECORD
Between LOSAngeles and Chicago
on the Santa Fe.
Pays $4,000 for the Trip and
Possibly More.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 10.-Amid the
cheering of several thousand people,
Walter Scott's Death Valley special, the
Coyote, pulled out of the LeGrande
station at 1 o'clock Sunday afternoon
and in three jerks was off through the
city like frightened rabbit on the rec
ord-breaking run from Los Angeles to
Chicago. This promises to be the most
sensational trip in the history of rail-
reading. The trip from Los Angeles to
San Bernardino, a distance of so miles
up per cent grade. was made in So
minutes, and 20 minutes were knocked
off the record between here and Bar
stow. The train is now speeding across
the desert making miles in SO seconds.
The train consists of one ten-wheel
Baldwin engine, a baggage car, a Pull
man and diner. The party consists of
the mysterious young miner, his wife,
Z. T. Van Loan, newspaper man, and
a crew of 16 men

Scott is spending part of the time in
the engine cab and has instructed the
engineer to turn her loose Crowds
gathered at all small stations through
out the day and ''Scotty" waved tow
el in answer to the cheers.
Frequent changes in engines are be-
ing made in order to gain the greatest
speed. Flying switches are made so no
stops are necessary. The special should
pass through Kansas City about a. m.
Tuesday.
According to the terms of the agree
nent, Scott will pay $500 for the train
rives in Chicago in less than As hours
after leaving Los Angeles, the miner
will pay $40 for every minute the rail-
road knocks off of that time, and if
they run over the time set ''Scotty'' will
receive $50 for each minute until the
sum reaches $1,000 The record from
Los Angeles to Chicago is 81 hours and
Sc minutes. The reason for making the
record breaking run is nothing more or
less than a mans mania for speed and
a desire to break the record on the run
from California to Illinois.
Losing Time.
Los Angeles, Cal, July 10.-Advices
received at the Office of the train dis
patcher of the Santa F'e railway in this
city show that the Scott special has
been losing some time and at Kingman,
Arizona, was 80 minutes behind it's
schedule. 1t was due there at 8:13 and
arrived at S:45. The train was running
at about an average rate of 48 miles an
hour 1t is the expectation of the Santa
Fe that after leaving Albuquerque the
time that has been lost will be made
up.
Two Minutes Late at kingman, AFiz.
Kingman, Arizona, July 1O.-The
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe special
train which is carrying Walter Scott
from Los Angeles to Chicago, in an at
tempt to lower the record, arrived here
two minutes behind time. The train
left Los Angeles at 1 o'clock Sunday
and is scheduled to reach Chicago at
O'Clock Tuesday. 1t was due at King
man at SAB and arrived at S:45.
Lowe Special Is Beaten.
Albuquerque, N. NJ, July 10.-Wal-
ter Scotts special train reached here
at $3.50 this morning. beating the Ia
nous Lowe special between Sel1gman
and Albuquerque thirty-four minutes.
The distance of 429 miles was made
! in nine hours and thirty-e1ght minutes
The train is scheduled to make the
run over the Glorietta mountains from
here to Las Vegas, distance of 1873
miles, in three hours. superintendent
Gibson, who came on the train from
Seligman, says if the present speed
of the special is maintained north of
this city the time of 4S hours between
Los Angeles and Chicago will be con-
siderably diminished.
Scott Special Goes Through Topeka.
The Scott special which is making
a record breaking trip across the con-
tinent from Los Angeles to Chicago is
scheduled to pass through Topeka at
o'clock tomorrow morning. The
special left Albuquerque this morning
at 9:3S, the regular time set by the
Santa Fe, over which road it is passing.
There has been no accident to delay

to the capital stock a dollar for every
dollar subscribed by all others, so
that he would own half of the cap
ltal stock, and that later he repre-
sented that he had pledged his entire
fortune, every dollar he had, and his
publishing business, in the banking
enterprise, and that his subscription
would exceed $1,00O,O0O. These rep
reservations were found to be false
and made with intent to deceive
The inspectors found that t'Mr.
Lewis had not co-operated to the ex-
tent of single dollar of his, own
money. although the bank had been
in operation seven months, and had
paid up capital stock of $4,000, ,000."
The inspectors found that "Mr. Lewis
had made an admission to that effect
to Bank Examiners Cook and Nichols
on April 3, 1905" The inspectors
careful checking of the subscrip-
ton books, finding that ION March Is,
1905, Mr.. Lewis had received and held
as payment for shares of stock in the
bank, $2,289,043.61, and had account
ed to the bank in an amount not ex-
ceeding s2,204, 1886"
Had No Money Invested.
This showed that every cent of the
$2,0O0.00O capital stock which had
been paid in was paid out of subscrip-
from the public, and that none of his
own money had been invested in the
enterprise This was found to be the
fact, although Mr.. Lewis had stated
in writing to the inspectors that $495,-
$50 of the 100000 paid in at the
original incorporation of the bank,
were his personal funds. Subsequent
ly, at the hearing before the assistant
attorney general, Mr. Lewis admitted
that that money was received by him
from the people, and was not his own.
Although asked to do so at the hear
ing, Mr.. Lewis failed to produce any
evidence whatever that any of his
personal funds had gone into this en-
terprise, or that he ever intended to
subscribe or was in a financial condi-
ton to subscribe for the large amount
of stock he represented he would take.
He said that enterprises in which the
officers and directors may be personally
interested frequently have courtesies ex-
tended to them and money advanced
them, which. if publicly known, would
put the bank out of business"
Lewis Loans to Himself.
The evidence showed, and Mr.. Lewis
admitted, that hundreds of thousands of
dollars were loaned to himself and his
various enterprises; that no committee
of Is had been esta blished, but that the
loans had been made practically at Mr..
Lewis will.
On March Is, the day after the in
spectors began their investigation in
the bank, Mr.. Lewis placed in its as
sets two notes, one for $4,000, signed
Dy nl1nSe1L dlOnes without cOlldIefdls
the other for $146,375.63, signed by
the board of directors.
On March Is Mr.. Lewis had loaned
from the banks funds to himself and
his enterprises 1894, ,604.63, the paid in
capital stock of the bank then being
half million. On March 20, when 81

the hearing upon request showed that
he had loaned to himself and his enter
prises $907, 1888

State House Janitor Quits and Fails to
Be Taken Back.

Walter Evans, the state house jani-
tor who seems to have been employed
as part of 1. n. Dayhoff'S clerical
force, resigned his job last Saturday.
and then tried to hire himself back
again. He failed in his last attempt,
and is now out in the cold, cold world.
1t is about Evans that Custodian
Collins and State superintendent Day
hoff had their disagreement. Collins
insisted that Evans should do the
ianitor work he was hired to do. Day
hoff ordered Evans to do desk work
in his office.
Evans got mad the other day be-
cause Collins insisted that he do his
share of the janitor work, and turned
his KEYS over to Collins, saying that he
had decided to quit. A few hours
later he came around and asked to be
given his keys back.
"Oh. no. said Collins. II didn't ask
YOU to quit but now that you have
quit, 1 can't put you back"
Governor Hoch filled the Evans
vacancy by a temporary appointment.
When superintendent Dayhof comes
back he will name some one to sue
ceed Evans. Evans hopes to be reap
pointed.
