Dowe Charges His Removal From Of-
fice After Many Years' Service
to His Friendship for
Roosevelt and Ce-
cil Lyon.
"Robert W. Dowe, collector of customs
of the Saluria district, with headquarters
lu Eagle Pass, was yesterday removed
from^offiee by President Tat't.
Ills discharge was not unexpected; It
was Mr. Dowe himself who gave the first
intimation of the turbulent state of af-
fairs two or three days ago when his
resignation was demanded. No reason
is given for his removal from office.
James A. Marvin, an immigration in-
spector, is named as Mr. Dowe's suc-
cessor.
Mr. Dowe intimated that his discharge
was brought about for purely political
reasons, chiefly because of his friend-
ship for Colonel Roosevelt and Cicil A.
Lyou. Yesterday afternoon he addressed
a letter, by wire, to Franklin MacVeagh,
Secretary of the Treasury, in which he
expressed surprise that such action
should be taken by the Arministration,
and ho charged that Tal't leaders, know-
ing of his friendship for Colonel Roose-
velt, made every effort to have him re-
moved for none other than political rea-
sons. Among other things h« said:
"A total oi L'-l counties was represented
In the State convention at Fort VVovtli;
ij)6 of these counties, composed of white
Republicans, held the regular State <'in-
vention, and by a vote of counties
to 13Vii counties, the delegates to the Na-
tional convention were instructed to vote
for Theodore Roosevelt for President.
Twenty-five counties, represented by ne-
groes and some wiiite men, boiled, and
held the other so-called convention, and
upon a statement gotten up by Tafl lead-
ers misrepresented the fat.'is. 'The crooked
majority of the National Committee was
offered an opportunity to steal Texas'
forty vottffi, tln-iT.-.y giving Taft the nom-
ination by <i pitiful majority of ill votes.
Taft received the stolen goods with the
name old smile that won't come off until
^Afcain Mr. Dowe says 90,000,000 people
are Investigating: this public highway
robbery, and are on the trail of the
thieves, and we all expect to see trie
guilty bunch brought down along the
first week in November."
lie grows sarcastic in his reieience to
the distribution of Federal' patronage,
making reference to how the J att lead-
ers nre distributing what he terms ' loot.
In conclusion lie extends thanks to the
secretary for the many courtesies ex-
tended to him during his ten years' serv-
ice as (..Hector of tin district.
Dispatches from Beverly last night
were to the effect that the President
had named Mr. Harvln as Collector
Dowe'S successor. Customs officials In
Washington declined to discuss the case,
Baying the mutter was entirely in the
hands oi' the 1're ident himself, who ap-
parently has taken the initiative in hur-
rying along Hie appointment of a new
collector
A special from The Express' staff cor-
respondent in Washington stated that
the commission of Harvin as collector
hud been forwarded to him from Bcv-
erly. Mr. Harvin must, before actually
assuming office, make a bond of $35,000,
and this probably will require two weeks
at least. Mr. Dowe has thrice made this
bond during lils terms of office, and the
formalities incident thereto have gen-
erally taken fifteen days or more. Har-
vin Is one of tile seven inspectors work-
ing under the supervision yf Will 15,

it was some days ago .1 F. Curtis,
assistant Secretary of the Treasury, who
Is in charge of customs, asked Mr. Dowe
for hiB resignation. While no specific
charge was formally made, Mr. Dowe
declined to be "fired" by either letter or
wire. He presumed, however, it Is his
leaning toward the Progressive party
that has brought about his removal.
The weeding uut process of officehold-
ers, and especially those men who have
not lined up with the Administration
forces, has been under way since the
Progressive convention in Chicago, early
in August. Washington dispatches say
there have been many officeholders re-
moved and that nearly all States have
been effected by the clean-up the Presi-
dent is making.
The President has been fully informed
of the sympathies of certain Federal
officeholders in Texas, and for two or
three weeks it has been current gossip
that the ax would fall in this state and
the official heads of some of tin; more
prominent officeholders would lall in
consequence. Tho e men who have been
active in the cause of former President
Roosevelt seemingly are not surprised by
•What has happened and is likely to oc-
cur in the very near future. In Wash-
ington tile word has gone the rounds
that only loyal Taft men are di sired
in the Government service.
Mr. Taft, it is said, is receiving first-
hand information from some of his sup-
porters in the State of what the general
status is of the officeholders in Texas.

that they were mixed in with Gillespie's

on the Southern Railway near Stevenson,

ently no effort being made tonight to ef-
fect. their capture. It la understood the
matter has been placed in be bauds-'of
two postal inspectors, one from Memphis
and the other from Chattanooga, who
will meet in this city tomorrow morning.
They have a description of the men and
it is expected they will be in custody
within twenty-four hours.
it. i.M stated tonight that tbe robbera
secured less than $10<> from tbe registered
mail, and overlooked tbe fact that the
four clerks whom they left tied on the
floor bad in their pockets over $400.
It is understood the robbery was plan-
ned In Chattanooga and It is thought
probable (be robbers are Chattanooga
men.
Charles Flint of Iuka, Miss., was the
•clerk In charge. He said:
"It was a n«w stylo of holdup, for the
two in. ked robbers made the four clerks
lie down while they robbed the car. The
train was in motion while they were at
work. When they were through, they
pulled the bell cord and leaped off Just
as the train was slowing down at Stevens
(Jap.
"The robbers chose the lightest night of
the week, it being Sunday out of New
York. The registered mail is always
heavier at the end of the week.
"The two masked robbers entered th»v
door near the engine. Two negro mail]
clerks, Hruco and Powers, were working '
near the door. J. C. Hamel and myself |
were at the other end of tbe car. 1 heard
voices, but being busy did not look up.
When 1 saw tbe robbers they had.■their
revolvers leveled on us. After 1 had tied
the hands of the negroes and Hamel, they
made all four to lie down on the floor.
The robbers were nervous. 1 saw a pi: to!
in the hands of each. The other clerks
say they had two revolvers."

fish Ambitions,
WASHINGTON, D ('.. Sept 17.—The
pollcv of the United .States in its rela-
tions with revolution--orn little neigh-
bors in Central America and the West
Indie-, is clearly defined in an instruc-
ion from the State Department em-
bodied in a note presented by .Minister
Weitzel to the Kicaraguan government,
the text of which wa.s made public to
day. The communication is expected to
create a profound sensation in Latin-
America, for, while it was addressed
to Nicaragua, it will be recognized as a
general warning.
America, s purpose, tin- instruction' de-
clar-.-y, is to foster true constitutional
government and free elections and to
this end strong moral support will be
given to established governments against
revolutions based upon the selfish de-
signs of would-be despots and not upon
any principle or popular demand. Force
will be used, if necessary, in maintain-
ing free communication with and to pro-
tect American mhiisterles and legations.
This policy already has been adopted in
Santo Domingo, Panama and Honduras.
UNCLK SAM'S DECLARATIONS.
Minister Weitzel was directed to pre-
sent tills Instruction officially to the
Nicaraguan government and unofficially
to the revolutionists In that country and
to make it public as an authorized dec-
laration of policy, Tho Instruction in
part follows:
"Tho policy of the Government of tho
United States in the present Nicaraguan
disturbances is to take the necessary
measures for an adequate legation guard
at Managun, to keep open communication
and to protect American life and prop-
erty.
"In discountenancing Zelaya, whose
regime of barbarity and corruption was
ended by the Nicaraguan nation after
a bloody war, the Government of tho
United States opposed not only the in-
dividual, but the system, and this Gov-
ernment could not countenance any
movement to restore the .same destruc-
tive regime. The Government of the
United States will, therefore, discoun-
tenance any revival of Zelayaisin and
will lend its strong moral support to the
cadse of legally constituted good gov-
ernment for the benefit of the people of
Nicaragua, whom it has long sought to
aid In their just aspiration toward peace
and prosperity under constitutional and
orderly government.
'Under the Washington contentions,
the United States has a moral mandate
to exert Its influence for the preserva-
tion of the peace of Central America,
which is seriously menaced by the pres-
ent uprising, and to this end In the strict
enforcement of tho Washington conven-
tions and loyal support of their aims and
purposes all the Central American re-
publics will find means of valuable co
operation.
THE USE OF FORCE.
'When tho American minister called
upon the government of Nlciragua to
protect American life and property, the
Minister of Foreign Affairs replied that,
the government troops must bo used to
put down the rebellion, adding:
" 'In consequence, my government de-
sires that the Government of the United
States guarantee with Its forces security
for the property of American citizens in
Nicaragua and that they extend this pro-
tection to all the Inhabitants of the re-
public.'
"In this situation, the policy of the
Government of the United States will bo
to protect life and property of its citizens
In the manner indicated and, meanwhile,
to contribute Its influences in all ap
propriate ways to the restoration of law-
ful and orderly government in order that
Nicaragua may resume its programme
of reforms unhamper-ed-• by the vicious
elements which would restore the meth-
ods of Zelaya."
The communication closes with a de-
nunciation of General Mena, leader of
the present insurrection, .Whose revolt is
declared to have been in flagrant violation
of promises, without even the pretense of
contending for principle, and "in origin
one of the most Inexcusable In the i
annals of Central America."

l'h- Kxpr^is Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Sept. 17 —To the n»w

tht Railroad Commission will apply as
emergency or temporary rates the "rates
made by adding to the rates in effect to
and from Aransas Pass tbe differentials
which are now prescribed on all classes,
and commodities in making the rates to]
and from Galveston"—the Galveston dif-
ferential basis.
Tbe alvove is Ihe effect of an applica-
tion filed with the commission today and
granted, signed by the larger Texas rail-
roads Interested in rat.-s to the new port,
the delegation from the San Antonio
Chamber <if Commerce, representing tin
commercial interests of that metropolis,
and counsel for the Aransas Harbor Ter-
minal road. The application resulted from
the commission granting continuance to
tho October hearing of the application of
tbe terminal road for the Galveston rates
to and from the new port, and the discus-
sion on Its request for postponement re-
sulted in the suggestion that all parties
interested subscribe Ihe application for
the commission to order the Galveston
rates until regular adjustment Is made at
the October hearing. The Joint applica-
tion was speedily und amicably effected.)
The Commission, In July, granted thai
Galveston differential rate on cotton to
Port Aransas, at the request of the ter-
mi»al road, to obtain until the September
hearing should decide tbe permanent
rates, and this original 'application was
Joined by tho San Antonio & Aransas
Pas., road. Today, on representation thai
the officials of the applicant, the terminal
road, were obllg'd to be absent from the
State, the commission granted postpone-
ment of hearing on its application to ap-
ply the Galveston rates on all com-
modities, and now applies these under
emergency order to obtain till hearing
