HotShotfOr Asst. Sec. LoomiS

Il have been greatly surprised and
panied in reading the documents you
sent me.
Mr. Bowen tells Of sending to the
state department information of the
report current in Caracas, that an in
terminating check to Mr.. Loomis and
ia letter from him to the governmental
custodian of the asphalt property
promising that the United States
would not intervene in Venezuela were
I'm the hands of one Of President Cas-
tYo'ss friends" -
Shortly afterwards" he continued,
Il received a; communication from the
state department offering me position
that was intended to be a stepping
stone to an ambassadorship. 1t seems
to be in the circumstances that my
duty to the United States demanded
that ] should stay for the present at
least in Caracas and declined the Of
fer, personally advantageous, as it was
to myself. Concurrently with the re.
portsin Caracas that President Castro
was in the possession of documents in
eliminating the first assistant secre-
tary of state, President Castro dis
patched special messenger to the Uni
ted States. Concurrently with my re-
fusal to leave my post at Caracas, there
began to appear from Washington
false reports in Our papers as Bowen
asks 70 be recalled, he wants to sever
diplomatic relations with Venezuela,
he asks that a naval demonstration be
made in Venezuelan waters, he is at
swords points with Castro False re-
ports of this sort are ordinarily con-

In this instance they were not. Any

After referring to the appearance Of
the Loomis, charges in several papers,
Mr. Bowen says: 3325' N 5.st5s +.
TO say that / ifistigated these
lis the product tof a vivid ina
|gination 1t was right after this that
I was Summoned BY the state depart
|ment to Washington and a department
|al inquiry was made into Mr.. LOOMS
conduct in Venezuela and was dis
missed from the diplomatic service.
Yet am neither responsible for, Mr..
Loomis ,insayory reputation in Cara
cas- nor for the circulation Of scandal
otis reports about him. He establish
led his reputation himself while living
there ais American minister from 1867
to April 1901, and the statements
charging him with dishonest and dis
honorable conduct were made with
such detail Of circumstances that mere
denial by me was useless. What was
needed was not their denial but their
disproof. / admit that after i found In
February 1907, in the legation arc
hives the documents that transmitted
to the state department in Washington,
/ believed Mr.. Loonlis to be dishotl-
lest man. admit that after received
no explanation Of these documents and
no further investigation was made,
though 4 reported the scandal to Be
still current in Caracas most ernbarras-
sing to the interests Of the United
States, my belief in MI. 10 ooniis dis
honesty was not diminished.

MORMONS ARE SAID
to- BE GOOD LIARS

Minneapolis, June 22.-The highest
officials of the Mormon Church lie
cheerfully about polygamy, and all
Mormon children are taught to speak
falsely of subjects OF the church.
Mormon women submit to what
Gentiles regard as degradation be-
cause "polygamy is in the blood"
Many plural wives dress exactly
alike SO that others Of the same hus
band may not be jealous OF the others
attire.
Mormon women ostracize Gentle
women from society, and Gentle busi-
ness men who speak against the church
are boycotted.
Utah is practically bit of foreign
territory in the United States and
Mornonism is a menace OF greater
magnitude than is realized.
These are few of the things learn
ed by Miss Marian BonsalI Of Mime
apolis in several months residence
among Mormons in the rural districts
Of Utah. Miss Bonsall is associate
editor of The Housekeeper and she
went into the Mormon country to
study the condition OF the women for
material for a series Of articles, the
first Of which appears in the July num-
Der OF the magazine. She wanted to
know whether, as has been asserted,
polygamy is still practiced to any ex-
tent, and its effect upon the women
and children.

SANTA FE
VIOLATION
CORRESPONDENCE HAS
BEEN MADE PUBLIC
1t Shows Why Moody Did Not Want
to Prosecute, and the Cause of the
Resignation of Harmon and Judson
as Special Counsel.

Washington, June 22.-President
Roosevelt has taken occasion to express
himself in most positive terms compli-
mentary Of the integrity and ability Of
Paul Morton. formerly vice president of
the Atchson,. Topeka and Santa Fe
Railway Co., and now completing his
duties as secretary Of the navy, that he
may accept the duties Of chairman of
the board Of directors of the New York
Equitable Life Assurance Society. These
expressions are contained in two let
tiers, one addressed to the attorney gem
eral and the other to Mr.. Morton. The
istration together with a number of 9TH
else point Of difference between the de-
mon and Judson. who recently resigned
in the rebate case involving the Santa
Go. The special counsel wished to bring
contempt proceedings against the officials
Of the road which would have included
the testimony adduced before the inter
otdkC NoIlIIuClSC
a violation of the court order March
rs, 1902, restraining the company from
entering into any agreement to trans
port interstate commerce at rates less
than the published tariff of the road.
This testimony they contendcd consti-
tutcd prima facie case against the Of
hcers of the road and the only way to
ascertain their guilt or innocence was
through contempt proceedings. Attorney
General Moody opposed bringing the
contempt proceedings on the ground
that while the evidence before the COM
mission might show violation of the
injunction by the road it contained moth
ing connecting any officer of the COM
pany with such violation. President
Roosevelt took the same viey. Both the
president and the attorney general agreed
that contempt proceedings should be III.
sttuted impcrsonally against the corpor-
alton. in both the Colorado Fuel and
International harvester case. The lat

Assistant Superintendent Moon of the
Lake Shore has issued a. statement that
the switch had been opened and locked
presumably by crank who desired to
wreck the train.
Fireman Graham escaped death mirac-
ulously but is badly bruised He said
the train was making nearly seventy-five
miles an hour, being late, and when
the engine left the track it was done so
quickly he didn't know what happened.
ihe tank fell on him protecting him al
though he was knocked unconscious,
An appalling feature OF the wreck is
the burning of the dead and injured.
Some were pinioned under the debris
and SO badly burned they died later.
According to the statemcii; made. at
the Headquarters of the Lake Shore road
here today, the number dead as the re-
suit of the wreck is twenty-one. OF
these seven are unidentified.
1t is believed there will be no further
deaths.
Vice President Browne of the Lake
Shore made signed statement in which
he says the evidence collected by the
officials of the road positively shows the
switch to have been turned and locked
open shortly before the limited reached
Mentor.
Train No. 10 passed over the switch
less than an hour ahead of the limited
and the switch was all right then. No
trains passed between the two trains.
: D. E. Arthur. one of the killed, was
a resident of Milwaukee.
