Committee Today.

Washington, June 13.-In response
u a subpoena issued today by the
House committee on expenditures 70

Will appear before that committee to-
morrow afternoon to explain the pay
ment of $4,000 from the Canadian
boundaries commission fund to Fred
erick Hale, son Of a former United
States Senator. Eugene Hale, of
Maine.
The subpoena was served on Mr..
Knox this afternoon. He arranged
or hearing at p. NJ. tomorrow.
Thomas Morrison. disbursing clerk of
the State department, will again tes-
tify tmorrow.
The summons for Secretary Knox
followed disclosures made to the COM
mittee today by Mr.. Morrison. that
the payment of Mr.. Hale had been
made on the sole authority of Sec
retary knox's 20. K.." and that the
vouchers for s2,45O in payment for a
portrait of former Secretary Day had
been found on the floor Of his office
by state department messenger.
MIR. Morrison declared that the mis-
sing voucher for $2,45O, drawn in
payment of a portrait OF former Sec
retary Day, and of which the artist
received only $3.50. had been found
ry a n' ssenger on the floor Of his Of
flee. How it got there he had no
idea, but IL was his impression that
some one interested in the matter was
responsible.
The vouchers appeared complete.
Mr.. Morrison said, and contained for
mer Chief Clerk Michael's explana-
tion of how the $1,000 difference had
been expended.
Mr.. Morrison asserted that when
1.-THE voucher disappeared from the
files 1t had no such execution upon
1t. The execution was not made pub
lie. 1t had been contended that the
S1,6OO was spent for secret service.
In regard to the Hale payment, Mr..
Morrison said all he knew about the
matter was his direction from Secre-
tary Knox to pay over $1,000.
X. o. Tittman, the boundary COM
missioner. said that the $4,000 pay
ment to Hale had never been explain
ed u him. He said his original esti-
mate for an appropriation of $40, 900
h'd been increased to $4,000 by the
State department without his know
ledge and that ne later learned the
extra $1,000 had been paid to Hale.

HEALTHY


Women who bear children and re-
main healthy are those who prepare
their systems IN advance Of baby's
coming. Unless the mother aids
nature IN its prenatal work the crisis
finds her system unequal to the de-
mands made upon it, and she is often
left with weakened health or chronic
ailments. No remedy is so truly
help to nature as Mothers Friend,
and no expectant mother should fail
to use It. It relieves the pain and
discomfort caused by the strain on
the ligaments, makes plant and elias
tic those hbres and muscles which
nature is expanding, prevents numb
ness of limbs, and soothes the iufam-
nation of breast glands. The system
being thus prepared By Mothers
Friend dispels the fear that the crisis
may not be safely met. Mothers
Friend assures a speedy and complete
recovery for the mother, and she is
left a healthy woman to enjoy the
