LOOMS SEVERELY REBUxED

Monomania in Bowen's Case--P President
Reviews Entire Affair in His Letter
10 Secretary Taft--Loomis MAY Get a
Minor Post Mr.. Bowen Refuses TO
Give out Any Immediate Statement.
Washington, D. C.-The dismissal Of
Minister Herbert w. Bowen from the
Diplomatic Service and the retention
Of Assistant Secretary of State Francis
3. Loomis. although after such a
scocehing rebuke as has seldom been
administered to an officer of his rank,
are the results Of Secretary Tafts
long Investigation of the scandal af-
fecting the two men. The report Of
Mr.. Taft and the Presidents reply
were made public at the War Depart
ment.
Mr.. Bowen's departure from the ser
vice was anticipated, but it was sup
posed that he s9ouId be permitted to
resign. Mr.. Bowen made his dismissal
necessary by telling the President that
he would regard a resignation as an
admission OF misconduct. The Presi-
dent in his letter says that until this
scandal came up he had intended to
promote Mr.. Bowen.
The action taken with regard to Mr..
Loomis is more of surprise. 1t had
been expected that the Assistant Sec
rotary would escape either scot free
or with light rebuke. Instead, Mr..
Taft, while acquitting him Of the
charges brought against him by Bowen,
scores in strong language his behavior
in mixing up in business Investments
in Venezuela. The President adopts
this language a his own.
Mr.. Loomis is a candidate for an en-
bassy The view OF his conduct taken
by the President and Mr., Taft makes
it unlikely that he will get it. Mr..
Taft's language, however, is taken here
as indicating that he may be let down
with 4 less important post.
Secretary Taft's letter is fully re-
viewed in the Presidents letter.

of her suffering. 1t unusual to her in this

Bertram left the house soon after, his
heart aching as he never thought that it
could Dorothy, whom he had considered
the acme of politeness, had treated him
rudely. He wondered what had SO changed
her but could find no solution to the mys-
terry. He took up his routine of duties with
a sad heart and with little interest.
The momentous day arrived, and Dorothy
felt that she rather would be laid in her
burial casket than perform the service to
which she was in duty bound. The morning
train saw her on the way to Ruth, whom she
found surrounded by her maids, expectantly
waiting for the maid of honor Ruth greet
ed her effusively, growing solicitous when
she saw Dorothy's pallor.
When Dorothy was robed in the pre-
scribed attire, Ruth insisted on applying
slight tinge of rouge to her cheeks, then
went into raptures over her. Il knew

cried. "Oh girls, isn't she beautiful?

Ruth and Dorothy were handed into a

by the Others. When they arrived they
found the groom and his man at the altar
