The Former Minister to Vene

Formerly Made Against Secre
tary Loomis and Declares the
Scanda a "National Disgrace."
New York, June 22. Herbert W.
Bowen, formerly minister to Venezuela,
today made public a long statement in
reply to President Roosevelt's letter
dismissing him from the diplomatic
service. Mr. Bowen declares that the
Venezuelan scandalconstitutes "a na
tional disgrace." He asserts that "the
Loomis scandal" pervaded Caracas and
constantly "grew worse and worse."
Mr;. Bowen says that shortly after he
called the matter to the attention of
the department of state he received a
cable offer from Washington of diplo
matic promotion that would remove
him from Caracas.
i aamit," he declared, "that I re
garded the offer as an attempt to bribe
me, veiled under the offer of a higher
position and inspired by Mr. Loomis.
I make no doubt that in the course of
the recent inquiry it has been suffi
ciently plain that I did not think Mr
Loomis an honest man and that I did
not believe his conduct as minister to
Venezuela had been honorable."
When he went to Venezuela in 1901
as successor to Mr. Loomis, Mr. Bowen
declares he found current rumors seri
ously affecting the honor and integrity
oi ins predecessor both as a man and
as representative of the United States
government. Epitomizing the rumors,
Mr. Bowen says: "Mr. Loomis, while
minister, is reported to have used his
public position -to fill his private purse
by obtaining interests, in concessions
and in various claims against the Ven
ezuelan government. He was common
ly thought also to have been in the pay
of the Bermudez Asphalt company
and to have made use of his official
position to give color to the helief that
the United States government was es
pecially favorable to the side of that
company in its controversy with the
Venezuelan authorities."
Referring to the documents left by
his predecessor in the legation at Car
acas and forwarded by Mr. Bowen to
the state department, the latter says:

Francis Joseph, took part in the year

surprised and pained . in regard the
documents you sent me.' "
Mr. Bowen tells of sending to the
state department information of the
report current in Caracas that "an in
criminating check to Mr. Loomis and
a letter from him to the governmental
custodian of the asphalt property
promising that the United States would
not intervene in Venezuela were in the
hands of one of President Castro's
friends."
After his refusal to leave Caracas,
Mr. Bowen says:
"There began to appear from Wash
ington such false and misleading state
ments in our papers as 'Bowen has
asked to be recalled; he wants to sever
diplomatic relations with Venezuela: he
J advises that a naval demonstration be
made in Venezuelan waters; he is at
swords' points with Castro,' also re
ports of this sort are ordinarily con
tradicted by the department of state.
In this instance they were not."
With regard to the Mercado claim
Mr. Bowen gives the text of a letter
which was among the papers he found
in the legation archives. This letter
is addressed to W..W. Russel and says:
"Dear Sir: In reference to the por
tion of Mr. Mercado's claim which I
bought I want to state that the only

Concerning Pensions.
State Auditor B. F. Dixon is issu
ing letters to the members of the

they do not approve applications for

circumstances in cases coming under
the paragraph of section I of the pen
sion law, allowing the boards to put
on the lists such soldiers and widows
asare Srtable to earn a living from
property valued at $500 or more for
taxation, and who may appear to tlie
boards from special circumstances
worthy to be placed on the pension
roll. Major Dixon calls attention to
the fact that money apportioned to such
as these would only take it from old
soldiers who need it worse, possibly.
And this should not be done except
in cases that are extremely urgent.
The county boards meet in all the

his income on a blank that is given
