NEW CAPITOL BILL AT MADISON Senate Committee Would Appro priate $700,000 for the Erec tion of a West Wing. Special to The Journal. Madison, Wis., April 28.The propo sition to build a new capitol is emerging from the nebulaes state, a bill provid ing for the erection or a west wing, costing not more than $700,000, being introduced in the senate this morning by the committee on capitol and grounds. The bill was sent to the committee on claims, does not define the style of structure, but it is generally believed here that eventually the state capitol will be similar in general lines to the national building at Washington. Speaker Lenropt of the assembly is determined to make the 'house work hard the remainder of the session, aner this morning announced that hereafter he would grant no more leaves of ab sence except in cases of sickness, leav ing the responsibility for the granting of the same with the house. Mr. Braddock, for the committee on railroads in the assembly, introduced a bill strengthening the antipass law and prohibiting public officials from using passes, franks or gratuities. The bill to authorize cities or the first class to establish, maintain and operate a municipal ice plant was passed by the assembly.

V^-v Washington, April 28.Secretary Taft is considering the advisability of ordering Minister Bowen, at Caracas, to report forthwith in Washington to explain his charges against Assistant Secretary of State Loomis. The charges in question, Mr. Bowen con veyed to Secretary Taft in a personal letter. If President Eoosevelt assents to Secretary Taft's order for the return of Mr. Bowen, it will be issued imme diately. The charges were first published in the New York Herald. Mr. Loomis has taken them up in order, answering them as follows: These charges were In substance, first, that while acting in my official capacity as minister to Venezuela I obtained con siderable pecuniary benefits fiom the New York & teermudess Asphalt company and that a check showing' the payment of $10,000 to me by that company is now in the possession of President Castro. This charge is an absolute falsehood. I never asked nor received, directly or indirectly, in any manner or form any money or property or anything of value or promise, or suggestion thereof, from the New York & Bermudez company, or from any one acting in its interests or behalf. A Business Transaction. Americans who have lived in Caracas know that rates of exchange between the United States and "Venezuela are high there, owing to the unsettled conditions in Venezuela, and that at times it is impos sible to purchase New York exchange at Caracas. On my final departure from Venezuela as minister I had money in a bank in Caracas. I wished to convert my Venezuelan money Into United States money, and I exchanged checks at the posted United States government rates with the manager of"^the New York & Bermudez company at Caracas, my check to the company calling for Venezuelan money, and his check to me calling for United States money. It was a simple business transaction. No Claim Against Venezuela. The second charge made is that while minister to Venezuela I purchased a claim of 20,000 bolivars, or $4,000, against the Venezuelan government, and then used my influence as minister to collect the full amount from the government I never purchased or owned or had any interest in any claim against the Vene zuelan government, and I never prose cuted, any manner or form, any claim against that government except in obe dience to instructions from the secretary of state, after submitting a full report of the case to him The third charge is that I agreed with Mr. Meyers to use my influence to adjust an obligation to the amount of $10,000.01)0 for a consideration of one-seventh of that sum, or nominally $1,400,000, I never agreed or promised or sugges ted, directly or indirectly, in any mannei whatever, that I would use my influence1 to adjust any obligation against the Ven ezuelan government, lutely false. The charge is abso- IN NEW POSITION F. A. May to Head a Well-Equipped Engraving Company.' HAT. F. A.
