Late Secretary Hay Quoted by
 Ex-Minister to Venezuela.
ROOSEVELT OFFERED HIM PROMOTION
sEvery One Who Knew Mr. Hay Knows That He Could Not Fossil ply Have Been a Friend to
 a Man Like MT. L0omis."

WOODSTOCK, Conn, Oct 4.-HeF- bert W. Bowen, former American min- ister to Venezuela, has issued the fol lowing statement:
 ''In answer to the letters that were exchanged recently by President Roose- welt and MT Loomis in regard to MT. Hay and published in the newspapers I have to say only this:
 After had sent to Washington all of the documents which found in the legation at Caracas relating to MT. Loomis I received letter from MT. Hay stating, I have been greatly sur prised and pained in reading the docu- ments you sent me- The following month he wrote to me letter contain ing these friendly words, I have al ways taken your part not only from personal liking, but from conviction of your merits, your ability, your cour- age and your integrity
 From a high official of the depart ment of state I received letter writ ten this last April stating, Secretary Hay remains your stanch friend. [ From the same high official have in my possession letter dated July 8, 1905, eighteen days after I was dis missed from the diplomatic service by President Roosevelt, stating, I had a few words with MT. Hay the day be- fore he left Washington for New Hampshire, and he spoke of Mir. Bow. en in the same kindly and afrectionate manner he always did
 Every one who knew MT. Hay knows that he could not possibly have been a friend to man like MT. Loomis and that no power on earth could have induced him to denounce as a traitor an American official who refused to shield corruption.
 Tn conclusion in order to show Pres ident Roosevelt's attitude toward Mr. Loomis will simply quote my last re mark to him and his to me in the pres. enee of witnesses the day he dismissed me: MT. President, you will remember that after I sent to you all the infor- nation I had about MT. Loomis you offered me a promotion that was in tended to lead to an ambassadorship. We'll he answered, I would have done great deal to hush up the scan dal'n

While a large band of Dukhobers, from Russia, were in London the other day on their way to Canada. many per- sons bought of them, for curios, some of their brass utensils.
