BOWEN-LOOMIS CASE
MATTER WILL BE HANDLED VERY
 PROMPTLY.
Charges and Counter Accusations Are ' to Be Sifted by Secretary Taft and Synopsis Presented to R0OseVelt,

Washington, May 15.-The formal trial of the issues between Acting Sec retary Loomis and Minister Bowen be- gan today, when MT. Bowen presented himself at the White House. He had sent a card last night to the President and followed 1t this morning by ap- bearing in person at the White House. where he was immediately received by the President who told him that as he had come in answer to his summons, he would be pleased to have the min ister call at once upon Secretary Tart. MT. Bowen accordingly went to the War Department and spent a short time in conversation with the Secretary. The status of the case Is officially explained as follows:
 Saturday night Acting Secretary Loomis notified Secretary Taft that he had completed the presentation of his answer to the various allegations con- corning himself which had been trans nttted to the Secretary of State in the first place. and later to the Secretary of War by Minister Bowen. Minister Bowen had been careful to explain to Secretary Taft that these were not his charges; that he merely transmitted them for the information of the de- partment. Secretary Taft requested MT. Loomis in view of the lateness of the hour to defer the submission of his answer until the following day. Ac- cordingly, Sunday morning MT. Loomis waited on Secretary Taft and submit- ted his answer, with accompanying doc uments bearing upon the subject.
 Secretary Taft went over these with care and then carried them to tho White House, where he told the Presi- dent of their contents and consulted with him as to the course to be pur- sued. It was then agreed that Secre- tarv Taft should undertake to arrange the matter for presentation to the President; In other words he should do all of the preliminary work of sitting out the evidence and preparing synop- sis for the Presidents consideration, consulting with him only about such details as seemed to be absolutely nec- essary to bring to his attention.
 So when Minister Bowen called upon MT. Taft today the latter turned over to him both Mir. Loomis's answer to the charges transmitted by MT. Bowen with the Accompanying documents, and MT. Ioomis's counter-charges against Min ister Bowen, to the effect that he had InstiRated the circulation of unfounded reports against his superior officer, in- voIying malfeasance in office. The Secretary advised MT. Bowen to pre- nare at once his answer and in order to facilitate his tasR, rendered him the services of one of the War Department stenographers. MT. Bowen returned at once 10 his hotel and began his task If ia Secretary Taft's expectation that this matter can be cleared up within .
