BOWEN KICKED OUT
Presidan* Remove» Him for His False
Charges Againat Loomis.
Washington, June 21. — The dis­
missal of Herbert W. Bowen, for some
years United States minister to Vene­
zuela, and the exoneration of Assistant
Secretary of State Francia B. Loomis
from tbe allegations brought against
him by Mr. Bowen, are tbe outcome of
tbe Looted» Bowen controversy which
has attracted wide attention for many
months peat. This disposition of the
case is made by President Roosevelt In
a letter addressed to Secretary Taft,
made public temigbt, approving Mr.
Taft’s report on his findings and con­
clusions in the case. The president
scathingly arraigns Mr. Bowen, declar­
ing that hie conduct is "especially .ep-
rebensible;’’ that Mi^ Bowen asked
one of hie witnesses to enter the employ
of a certain company for the purpose
of, "in plain words, stealing,” docu­
ments which he hoped might incrim­
inate Mr. Loomis, and that Mr. Bowen
has “evidently for many months, in­
deed, 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 tbe country be represent-
ed.”
The president says he had hoped to
promote Mr. Bowen, as during much
ot his service he had done good work;
but that his nsefulness in tbe diplo­
matic service is now at an end. The
president adds that he would direct
that Mr. Bowen’s resignation be re-

TITLE CLAIMED BY STATE
New York Legislature Will Remove
Supreme Justice Hooker.
New York, June 20. — For the first
time in its history, tbe legislature of
New York will meet in special sereion
this summer for the purpose of form­
ally expelling a justice of the Supreme
court.
■*
Ths last time that this power of the
legislature was invoked was daring the
exposures following Tweed’s downfall,
when three Supreme coart justices who
bad worked hand in band with the old
Tammany bore, were stripped of their
judicial ermine. —Bub that waa at a
regular session.
Tbe machinery of tbe law is now be­
ing invoked by a Republican governor
to enable a legislature overwhelmingly
Republican in both branches to retire a
Republican judge.
The person who will be removed is
Warren B. Hooker, long a congress­
man and longer still an influential Re­
publican politician in the upper section
of the state.
There is not a doubt in
the world but that he will be put out,
and every big Republican in tbe state
has begged and implored him to resign,
but he is stubborn.
-
New York state rewards its judicial
officers more liberally than any other
section of the Union,
In New York
city a justice of tbe Supreme court re­
ceives $17,600 a year for 14 years, with
a court day lasting from 11 to 1, and
2 to 3:30 or 4, together with nearly
four months’ vacation in summer. And
tbe United’States Supreme court, the
highest judicial tribunal in tbe land,
only pays $10,000. Hooker is an "up­
state judge,’’ but was transferred here
by the governor soon after he Ascended
the bench, and, in consequence, is paid
as highly as the men whip were elected
by the city voters.
The charges againat Hooker are
many, and are involved in tbe case
against Machan, the celebrated, or
rather, notorious, postal official.
Hooker’s young nephew
wanted
money to go throifgh college. Hooker
had him appointed a clerk in a post-
offiee. He never did any work, but he
drew the salary.

A man in the district owed Mrs.
Hooker, wife of the judge, $2,500.. .Jie
was promptly appointed a letter car­
rier, and each month turned over his
check to Mrs. Hooker. Thia man ad­
mitted on the stand that be never did
any work for the government and never
expected to.
He simply adopted an
easy way, suggested to him, to pay Qi
a bill.
A building owned by the judge was
leased by the government for a post-
office at what was admittedly an ex­
orbitant rental.
Despite this tbe
amount was twice raised at intervals
of a few months.

Baltimore, Md., June 19.—Eighteen
persons are known to have been killed
and a score more injured tonight in a
train wreck on the Western Maryland
railroad about a quarter of a mile from
Patapeco, a small station between
Westminster and Finksburg.
Pas­
senger train No. 5, ' westbound, was
running at a very high rate of speed
when at the point named it crashed in­
to a double header freight running east.
All three of the engines were reduced to
scrap iron, two baggage and express
cars smashed and a number of the
freight care splintered. The passenger
coaches sustained little injury and
almost without exception their occu­
pants ecaaped with nothing worse than
a bod shaking up.
Tbe fatalities occurred among the
crews of the engines and workmen em- .
ployed by the railroad. Not being reg­
ular passengers they had boarded the
baggage care and engine. Those in the
baggage cars were badly mangled and
tbe crews of all three engines were
killed outright.
The three coaches in the passenger
train remained on the track and none
of tbe passengers was seriously hurt,
all but a few escaping with a bed
shake-up and bruises.
As soon as
word of thp accident was received a
special train with physicians was sent
out from here and by 9 o’clock tbe in­
jured were being conveyed to hospitals^.
The patients were distributed between^
City hospital, St. Joseph’s and others
near the railroad.
