MR.. BIDDLE HEARD
INVESTIGATION OF BOWEN
LOOMS AFFAIR.
Latter's Offer to Buy Part Of the Mert
cador Claim Explained to
Secretary Taft.

Secretary Taft today again considered the
Bowen LOOMS matter and examined at
some length Mr. Nicholas Biddle, a CORE
spondent of the New York Herald, who
visited Caracas some time ago. 1t was Mr..
Biddle who published in the second of the
Herald articles bearing on the controversy
what purported to be a note from Mr..
Looms to Mr.. Russell, the secretary of le-
Cation notifying him that he would buy a
portion of the 6Iercador claim. Mr.. Biddle
explained in detail to Secretary Taft what
that meant. The letter itself was among
the papers submitted to Secretary Taft by
Mr. Bowen in the presentation of his case.
He said he found it among other papers in
box in the legation safe after Mr.. LOOMS
had left.
Mr.. Biddle told Secretary Taft that Mr..
Bowen had said that he wanted his side
of the case presented but that he did not
care to be quoted. Thereupon he had
placed a number of papers including this
letter. in Mr.. Biddles hands
The explanation of the letter, as con-
tanned in Mr.. LOOMS statement to Secre-
tary Taft, is in substance as follows:
The Spanish government sold a torpedo
boat to the government of Venezuela for
100000 bolivarS. Instead of the cash, it
was arranged that the Venezuelan govern
ment should turn over 600 900 bolivars in
salt bonds at their face value. After re-
imbursing itself to the extent of 100000
boivars, the Spanish government was to
to the American minister at Caracas, The
proceeds of which were to be applied to
meeting certain claims against the Nene-
zuelan government. This arrangement was
approved at Washington.
Among these claims was one amounting
to about CO. 600 bolivars due one Merca-
dor, promoter and business man, on ac-
count of a contract another for 10000
bolivarS on account of the German rail-
way, and several minor claims. Mercador
sought a loan from Juaret- who was at
that time semi officially attached to the
United States legation. Jauret lacked
$4,000 of the necessary amount and Dor
rowed it from Mr.. LOOMS, pledging a
portion of the Mercador claim as security.
and that was subsequently, redeemed by
the sale of portion of the Salt bonds to
the banks. Mr.. Loomis was on vacation
and not in Caracas at the time, which ac-
counts for the writing of the note to Mr..
Russell. He received for his $4,000 just
S5.0S0.
Secretary Taft does not now believe that
it will be necessary to take the testimony
of any witness beside Mr.. Russell now
en- route to Washington from Cartagena.

FOR WORK OF COOLIES
TO ADJUST WAGES TO THE EIGHT
HOUR LAW

In view of the announced decision of the
isthmian canal commission TO enforce the
eight hour law on the canal work after
July 1. Secretary Taft today stated the
grounds upon which Attorney Gener1i
Moody had reached his decision on that
important matter. 1t was to the effect
that as the work of canal construction re-
gardless of place. was being done by gov
eminent labor, the eight-hour law must ap-
ply. However, il was held that this ruling
did not apply to the Panama railroad. for
although the stock of that concern is gov
eminent owned, it is really private cor
poration and pays its own employees
Furthermore the Attorney General holds
that the eight-hour law applies only to the
laborerS and mechanics and does not at
feet the clerical force of the commission.
II Is said that the contract providing for
the employment of coole labor was held
up pending THIS decision and will not be
signed until Engineer Wallace has sue
ceeded in reaching some agreement with
the employers of the coolia labor to adj
just the scale of labor prices to the eight
hour decision.
1t is stated that the operation of this law
will largely increase the expenses of canal
building. and Secretary Taft has called upon
Engineer Wallace for close estimate of
the additional expense for the information
of Congress.

SUSPENDED FROM SCHOOL.
Reginald Hodgson Again in Trouble
With Principal.

Reginald Hodgson, the Western High
School pupil who suspended from
school last February by the principal, Miss
Edith Westcott, for writing a sentence on
a class blackboard which made a disparag-
ing reference to President Roosevelt, and
wins reinStated on the order of Director
Hughes after an investigation of the case,
was again suspended last Friday. This time
his offense, 1t is said was one of direct
defiance of the principals authority and
Mr. Hughes has upheld Miss Wescott's ac-
ton.
Young Hodgson, so the story goes asked
permission to remain away from school
two days before the annual competitive drill
any excuse other than his own desire. This
being contrary to the rules of the school
board, the principal refused to grant him
leave of absence The young man, how
ever took the mattr into his own hands and
rmained away foT two days. Upon his re-
turn to the building Miss Wescott suspend
ed him and reported her action to Director
Hughes.
The boys father called with him upon
Mr.. Hughes yesterday morning and asked
that the latter be transferred to another
high school and allowed to continue in the
course of studies. The director replied that
since the boy had been suspended for an
open and direct breach of the school dis
cipline he could not, of course, transfer
him to another high school.
The suspension is for an indefinite period,
and under the circumstances the young man
will doubtless have to remain away from
school at least for the remainder of this
term

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad endeav-
ored yesterday to prevent the crossing OF
its tracks on Pennsylvania avenue by the
electric road which the United States Realty
Company is building out Pennsylvania ave-
nue. to its immense holdings on this avenue
When the Baltimore and Ohio ofhclals
found a large force of men were at work
constructing the electric road in the dlrec-
ton of their tracks they stationed a Watch-
man there to give the alarm in case the
contractor of the electric road attempted
to put the crossing in and then hastened 10
go before the District Commissioners ana
endeavored to have the Commissioners re-
consider and revoke the permit issued by
them for the electric road to cross the BAL
timore and Ohio tracks. The oHlclaiS louno
tbat +he electric road had succeeded in get
ting a special act of Congress allowing II 10
build its lines out Pennsylvania avenue,
which necessitated its making t5is cross

ton Law.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, May 30.-The fnJunc-
ton proceedings Instituted some time ago
by Willis B. Burdette, chairman of the re-
publican county committee for this county,
asking that the board of supervisors of
elections for this county be restrained from
holding the approaching primary elections
under the provisions of the primary election
law passed at the last session of the legis-
lature on the ground that said law is I'M
constitutional and for other reasons, came
up for a hearing before Judges Henderson
and Motter this morning.
The case has aroused widespread interest
in this county, and the hearing attracted
probably 300 representative members of
both parties from all sections of the county
The proceedings were followed with marked
interest. Mr.. Thomas M. Talbot repre-
senting the supervisors of elections, de-
INJURED to the bill filed in the case on the
ground that the changes alleged to have
been made in the measure after it passed
the general assembly and before it was
signed by the governor were immaterial,
and that the court had the right to strike
out these changes without annulling the
sections in which they appeared.
Messrs. Thomas Dawson and Alexander
Kilgour who appeared for Mr.. Burdette,
took the opposite view and held that the
entire sections should be eliminated and
the law thereby be rendered imperative.
They also argued the constitutional fea-
lures at considerable length
The court promptly overruled the de-
murrer In rendering the decision Judge
Henderson stated that the constitutionahty
of the measure would not be gone into al
this time, but that the demurrer would
be overruled for the reason that counsel
for the defendants, for the purposes of the
demurrer, had admitted the allegations con-
tanned in the bill filed in the case. The
Judge notified Mr. Talbot that he would
be given ten days in which to present the
case.
