Bowen DISMISSED
outcome OF CHARGES PREFERRED
AGAINST LOOMS.
Pre- Sidenf Says the Mania for Hunt
ina Up Scandal DESTROYED His
Usefulness in the Diplomatic
SeryiCe-LOOmiS Admitted to
Have Been lndiSCreet.

Washington, June 21.-The dismiss
al of Herbert w. Bowen, for some years
United States minister to Venezuela,
and the exoneration of Assistant Sec
retary of State Francis B. LOOMS of
the allegations brought against him by
Mr.. Bowen are the outcome OF the
Bowen Loomis controversy, which has
attracted wide attention for many
months past.
This disposition of the case is made
by President Roosevelt in a letter ad-
dressed to Secretary Taft, made public
late yesterday, approving Mr.. Taft's
reporton his findings and conclusions
in the case.
The president scathingly arraigns
Mr.. Bowen, declaring that his conduct
is especially reprehensible," that Mr..
Bowen asked one of his witnesses to en-
ter the employ of a certain company
for the porpose, ''in plain words, of
stealing" documents which he hoped
might incriminate Mr.. LOOMS, and
that Mr.. Bowen has "evidently for
many months, indeed for the last two
years, devoted himself to hunting up
scandal and gossip, until it became a
monomania and caused him to "show
complete disloyalty" to the country be
represented.
Had Hoped to Promote Bowen.
The president says he had hoped to
promote Mr.. Bowen, as during much
Ut his service he had done good work,
but that his usefulness in the diplo-
matte service is now at an end. The
president adds that he would direct
that Mr.. Bowen's resignation be re-
q uested but for his statemen that he
would consider resignation an admis.
sion of misconduct, and the dismissal
is therefore ordered. The letter quotes
correspondence and Testimony. The
president states that it appears that
the publication of attacks on Mr..
Loomis and furnished to the press doc
uments pending before the state de-
partment for approval, and that his
explanation is inexcusable and shows
his centre unfitness" for the service.
Even if Mr.. Loomis had been guilty,
says the president, Mr.. Bowen's con.
dcut would be unpardona BILE.
The report of Secretary Taft on the
case, on which the presidents action
is based, is a voluminous document,
viewing the charges and the evidence
taken.
In his report Secretary Taft says
that there was nothing dishonorable in
the transactions in which Mr.. LOOMS
figured. but that he was not discreet.
The report says that Mr.. LOOMS was
not justified in becoming personally in
terested in any Of the schemes, eithe,
with q mere nominal interest or sub.
stantlal interest. He holds, however.
that Mr.. Loomis has been "most cru.
ely slatndered," commends him fol
the self -restraint with which he has
met the charges, and points out that
Mr.. Loomis' bitter experience in this
case makes it unnecessary to point out
the moral that a minister cannot afford
in the country to which he is accredit.
ed, to make personal investments.

SWEDEN Will NOT TRY
TO GEORGE NORWAY

Stockholm, June 22.-The extraordi-
nary session of the riksdag summoned
to deal with the momentious question
raised by Norways declaration dissolv
ing the union is now win session. The
government Immediately introduced a
bill asking authorization to enter into
negotiations with the Norwegian storth-

separation of the heretofore dual king
dom.
In the council of state held Tuesday,
which sanctioned the introduction of
the bill in the riksdag dealing with
the crisis both the king and premier
were on the side Of pacific solution.
Premier Ramstedt spoke first, point
ing out that it was not to Sweden's in
terest to resort to coercive measures.
He recommended, therefore, entering
into negotiations for convention by
which guarantees should be obtained
conducive to the mutual welfare of
the two countries. In any case, he
declared, negotiations were indispensa-
BILE to clear up the situation definitely.
The premier suggested that delegates
be appointed to this end, and it was
only after such conditional settle.
ment and after the riksdag had fully
considered the matter that Sweden
would be in ponsition to decide as to
the definite approval of the dissolution
and agree to annulilng the act of the
union.
After several others had spoken King
Oscar arose and said, among other
things:
"The union is not worth the sacri-
foes which acts Of coercion would en-
tail. A union into which Norway
would be forced in such a manner
would be of little value to Sweden"
The king concluded with expressing
the hope that the Swedish people would
be guided by calmness and prudence
and that God would give them strength
and unity to regain within their own
frontiers what they had lost by the
dissolution Of the union.

OLD SCOUT WINS.
Automobile Race From Ocean to
Ocean Ends.

AutOmObIIe Race from ocean 10
Ocean Ends.
Portland, Or, June GAS if they
were on pleasure jaunt instead of at
the end of a 4,OOO-mile automobile
trip, wearisome and dangerous at
times, across the American continent,
Huss and Wigle, riding in "Old
Scout" entered Portland at O'Clock
yesterday, winners of the automobile
race aginst "Old Steady" and Megar-
gel, the Chauffeur, who are now some-
where in Central Oregon, hurrying
toward Portland.
Just forty -four days ago "Old Scout"
and "Old Steady" left New York to
race across the continent with the OBJ
ject of attending, if possible. the OPEN
ing session of the National Good Roads
convention, which convened at the
Lewis and Clark exposition grounds
yesterday. Huss and cold Scout"
arrived on schedule time, presenting
the letter of greeting of Melville E..
Stone, general manager of the Associ-
ated Press, to President Goode, of the
exposition. just after the convention
was called to order.
The race across the country was a
remark BILE one. The machines and
the drivers endured great hardships,
meeting with accidents and obstacles
without number. Roads constructed
under the direction of engineers were
skinned over at wonderful speed in
some section of the country and in
other sections it took entire days to 60
over few miles of uncared.for and
poorly constructed highways. The del
egates to the good roads convention be-
lieve the race will have great effect in
the missionary work necessary to put
the roads in all sections of the country
in passable condition.

connection that Carter usually got to
his office by six in the morning.
Kaaua agreed with the other Witness
es on the advisability of fencing on
Mauna Kea. Most of the wild cattle
would then come inside the fence and
those that stayed out would die OF lack
of food, as It is all rocks up there.
This would lessen the necessity OF
roping. In fact it was better to herd
wild cattle than to rope them: 1kua
used to practice this and II had been
done at Waimea.
When asked IL the paddocks had been
kept full Of cattle the witness replied:
Sometimes have seen large num-
Der and sometimes a small one -Four
acres were necessary for a bullock at
Makahalau while two to three sufiiced
at WAIKIKI.
The witness took a turn at estimat-
ing the area OF the weeds. He had
seen two patches of thimble-ber one
as big as Judge Lindsay's courtroom
and one which would extend from the
witness stand to the door. Magoon
turned his attention to the ivy. but his
only impression was that 1t was not
very plentiful in those places where
he had seen II.
In regard to breaking horses the
witness claimed that the old method
of broncho busting was still in force
on the ranch. He used to do II the
old way himself, but he had studied
the subject and found that the proper
way was to use a chute, handling the
horse gently until he knew the man
was his master.
Kaaua had driven cattle to HAWAI-
hae for shipment. The program was
coffee at a. m, start the cattle by
daylight, and have them at Kawaihae
by or s. This was also improper; the
witness thought the best way was to
take them down the afternoon before.
Wire fences had not been repaired in
an economical manner; cattle, no
doubt, had been lost in the Kohala
mountains, and bulls had been seen in
the fattening paddocks. This closed
the tale of misdeeds and Kinney took
up the cross examination shortly be-

IN
VICTORIA

The Victoria Colonist refers to a
visit made in Victoria by John Baker
of Hawaii, as follows:
Ex-Governor John T. Baker of Hilo,
Hawaii, is amongst the guests regis
tered at the Hotel Driard.
Mr.. Baker is a gentleman of dis
tinction in the South Sea Islands, of
which he is a native. He is of En-
glish parentage on the fathers side
and has had a most interesting and
eventful career, being closely associ-
ated with the native dynasty of the
island, towards the late royal mem
bers of which he still entertains the
strongest sentiments of loyal affection
and respect.
From the year 1877 to 1886 Mr.. Baker,
was an officer of the Life Guards Of
King Kalakaua at Honolulu. He mar
ried lady who became the governor
of the Island of Hawaii, of which he
was appointed sheriff, Srd eventually
awarded the governorship until the re-
bellion which deposed Queen Liliuoka-
lani and overthrew the dynasty, and
the provisional government held power
until cession to the United States was
finally effected.
Ex-Governor Baker is travelling for
pleasure and is now on his return jour
ney after spending three wet weeks at
Vancouver, and he leaves today for
San Francisco, where he will spend a
couple of months.
He visited the New Westminster
Fair and is greatly impressed with
the knowledge he has gained of Brit
ish Columbia, but he says the bad
weather has made him homesick. The
Islands of Hawaii he describes as not
on the whole so prosperous under pres--
ent conditions. Sugar plantations have
increased, but in general business COM
petition is excessive by the influx of
strangers of all nationalities and where
prosperity once reigned there is now
la considerable amount of poverty. The
peace of the islands is now secure and
law and order are strictly observed.
Many people are leaving the islands
and conditions in the future may be
expected to improve.
Governor Baker is man of splendid
physique and has stood as a model for
the statue of Kamehameha.

A SILLY SAYING.

sit is a common but silly opin-
ion prevailing among a GER
tain class of people that the
worse a remedy tastes, smells or
hurts, the more efficacious it is."
So says a well-known English
physician. He further adds
For example, let US consider
cod liver oil. AS it is extracted
from the fish this oil is go offen-
sive to the taste and smell that
many cannot use it at all, nc
matter how badly they need it.
Yet cod liver oil is one of the
most valuable drugs in the world
and it is the greatest pity that
we have not thus far been able
to free it from those peculiari-
ties which so seriously interfere
with its usefulness. o This was
written years ago; the work of
civilizing and redeeming it has
since been triumphantly accom-
plished; and as a leading in
gredient in the remedy called
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
the oil retains all its wonderful
curative properties with no bad
smell or taste whatever. 1t is
palatable as honey and contains
all the nutritive and curative
properties of Pure Cod Liver
Oil, extracted by us from fresh
cod livers, combined with the
Compound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites and Extracts of Malt and
Wild Cherry; creating medi-
cine of unequaled power for the
diseases most prevalent and IA
tai among men, women and chill
dren. There is no other remedy
to compare with it. 1t increa-
ses the digestive power of the
stomach and in Blood Impuri-
ties, Throat and Lung Troubles,
Nervous Dyspepsia and Scrofu-
lous Affections, it gives quick
and certain relief and cure. DR..
G. G. Shannon, of Canada, says:

cod liver oil; none of its faults.
You may trust it fully; it cannot
disappoint you. At all chemists
