Six days later the resolution was re-

TAFT TELLS KNOX
TO IGNORE ORDER
House Committee Refused Right TO
See Records-Dispute Is Over
Portrait.

Washington. - Under instruction
from President Taft, Secretary Of
State Knox refused point-blank to lay
before the house committee on ex
penditures in the state department the
records liz the case of the portrait OF
ex-Secretary of State Day. A sharp
controversy has resulted.
The committee Is seeking to dis
cover what became of 1900 of the
s2.450 voucher drawn for the payment
of the portrait. Artist Rosenthal re-
ceived only $3.50 for his work and
the $1,000 is unaccounted for.
The president held that S2,45o was
| paid out of the emergency fund for
unforeseen emergencies In the diplo-
matte and consular service and for ex-
tending diplomatic intercourse with
foreign nations, which congress had
provided need not be accounted for
If the president certifles that an Item
should be paid from this fund. Presi
dent Roosevelt had made such certi-
fication.
fuTlDeTlHOIe, DtIlctuiy NINA SN
planned to the committee that it was
improper to produce the books be
cause thereby other undisclosed items
of expenditure would be revealed.
Secretary Knox said he was directed
to complete his investigation into what
became of the money and TO report to
the president.
Chairman Hamlin of Missouri took
issue with the secretarys right 20 re-
fuse to produce the record of the ex-
penditure and threatened to take the
matter to the floor Of the house. A
colloouy between the chairman and
the secretary resulted in the sugges-
ton that the chairman might be al
lowed personally to inspect the par
ticular record. This course will prob
ably be followed.
President Taft in his letter to Sec
rotary Knox said that, in view of the
facts and that the emergency fund ex-
penditure for this period have under
the express authority of congress been
certified by Secretary Hay "for my
predecessor, President Roosevelt, as
being of such a character as ought not
to be made public, | feel that nothing
but some extraordinary circumstances
would justify me IN directing you to
take such records before the commit
tee, because the discretion thus exer-
cised under the statute should, in my
Judgment, in general be conclusive
and binding upon this point"
The president added that when Sec
rotary Knox concluded his investiga-
ton of the particular expenditure and
submit the matter 10 him he (the
PRESIDENT would determine whether
the money was lawfully cor dishonest
ly and improperly misappropriated."
