THAT $1,000 TUMPs ROOT
Only Knows That 1t Was Approved by
Secretary Hay.

Washington, June 7.-Senator Root
was unable to give the house commit
tee on expenditures investigating the
state department much information on
the disbursement of the $2450 ap.
proved for the payment of picture Of
former Secretary Day, for which the
artist, Albert Rosenthal, of Philadel
phia, received only $780,
While secretary of state, Mr.. Root
said, he had the case investigated. 1t
resulted in the finding of a paper
showing Secretary Hays approval OF
the payment of $2450 from the emer.
gency or secret" fund of the depart.
made upon approval of the secretary
without receipt or vouchers.
The committee may never learn
where the $1,000 unaccounted for went,
1t was said at the state department
that Secretary Knox probably would
not testify.
Senator Root told the committee he
was convinced the former chief clerk,
Michael, reported that the $1,000 had
been expended under the direction OF
Secretary Hay for purposes of which
1t was not desired to leave record.
Mr. Hamlin, chairman of the com
mittee. introduced his bill to provide
for point committee of six, to whom
the secretary of state shall report an.
nually all expenditures of the depart
ment from the fund provided for in.
tercourse or treaty with foreign ma.
tons. Misappropriation from the fund,
the bill provides, shall be treated a.

Ills Amendment to be Add
ed to Reciprocity.
DEMOCRATS AID PRESIDENT
Senators Assure Mr., Taft They
VIII Defeat Any and All
Amendments on the
Floor.

Washington. June Hopes of the
administration that the senate finance
committee would report the Canadian
reciprocity bill unamended were dash
ed when, after brief executive SEES
sion of the committee, II was learned
that the Root amendment to the pa.
per and pulp section probably will be
adopted in modified form.
II was said that in addition to seven
Republican members of the commit
tee, Senators Bailey, Simmons and
Johnson, Democrats, will vote for the
amendment, while Senators Penrose
and Cullom are declared TO be with
the three Democrats In opposition
thus presaging the adoption of the
amendment by a vote of 10 to 5.
The president showed anxiety over
the situation when, after an executive
session of the senate finance commit.
tee, he appealed to the Democratic
senators TO stand out against the
amendment. Senator Stone expressed
to the president his confidence that
far more than majority would be
found voting against the Root and all
other amendments that may be Of
fered.
Penrose Against Amendments.
The administration throughout has
contended that amendment to the bill
probably would be fatal, and by rea-
son OF this contention the measure was
passed by the house in the form de-
sired by the state department. The
same argument was advanced when
the measure was turned over to the
senate finance committee, and Chair
man Penrose, of the committee, has
endeavored to prevent consideration
of amendments.
The principal fight on the floor will
be based on the Root provision, but
whether 1t be accepted or rejected.
the friends of reciprocity are now
hopeful of success. The reason for
their exhilaration is found in the de-
cision of majority of the Democratic
senators to make no effort to attach
the house free list bill to the reciproc-
ity measure.
A decided majority of the Demo
Gratis are favorable to reciprocity, but
until comparatively recently many of
them, disposed toward political adj
vantage, made the condition that the
Canadian bill should receive no con-
sideration except in connection with
the pet Democratic measure.
They have abandoned that attitude.
and now announce boldly that they
will oppose all amendments of what.
ever nature. They have even gone to
the extent of rejecting overtures from
the progressives, which are coupled
with a promise on the part of the lat
ter to tack the free list on to tho
reciprocity bill. No one predicts a
vote earlier than July 10, and some ex-
tend the time by a month.
Predict Continuous Session.
'And with reciprocity disposed Of"
declared Senator Stone, Il should say
that we ought to stay here until we
merge this session into the next regu-
lar session, and that session into the
second regular, II we don't get a vote
on the free list"
Senator Penrose will make an effort
to get the reciprocity bill out of the
committee on finance today, but as
many amendments will be presented
he may fail The bill will be reported
without recommendation.

Washington, June. T. Senator Jo-
seph w. Bailey, of Texas, addressing
Confederate veterans in observance of

reconciliation.

Confederate people, said the senator.
"The fathers would never have form

1t could be dissolved for cause; If the
southern people believed that they
could not remain in the Union with
honor and safety they had right to
secede"

served as Mr.. Davis body servant.
