partment, today told the house com
mittee on expenditures IN that de
partment that he had been instruct
ed when the voucher In the Day por-
trait case had been found In his Of
flee a few days ago, to keep silent
about the diCovcry. This instruction,
he said was given him by Wilbur

partmcnt.
This disclosure was made when
Chairman Hamlin asked him II he
had made any further examination a
few days ago to discover how
the voucher came on the floor Of his
office
The serious view OF the matter
by the state department officials was
reflected by copy Of letter from
Charles Dendy consular general at
Vienna, Austria, former CHIEF clerk Of
state department under Secretary
Root when the mystery Of the
S2,450 voucher for an $3.50 portrait
was made, Secretary Knox submitted
this letter, dated at Vienna, May 80,
1911.
Mr. Dendy wrote that the voucher
discrepancy was discovered In 1906,
when the department negotiated for a
portrait Of Secretary Hay and that
prior to the Root regime It was GUS
tomary to include IN one voucher
small sums paid for several expenses
out Of the appropriation allotted to the
state department to he expended at
the secretary's discretion.
The result Of the investigation
conducted by the state department In
1906 was never known outside OF the
department, the former chief clerk
reported How far the alleged ir'
reguarities In this particular fund
were I'm the knowledge Of the secre-
tary could not be ascertained, ~ he
died in 1905, in which year also Mr.
Michael went as consul general to

TITLE FOR BARRIERS
HOME LAND IS Given
CONTRACT SPECIFIES THAT IN
STITUTION MUST BE COMPLIrT-
ED WITHIN TWO YEARS.

That the BARRIERS home for super
annuated union BARRIERS will be loca-
ted at Sand Springs not seems almost
certain.
The Tulsans who have been work-
ing on the proposition have certainly
dune their snFre OF the work to To-
cate the home at Sand Springs,
Yesterday Charles Page, founder Of
Sand Springs, delivered into the
hands of John Hancock, vice presI-
dent of the Gu Cura Manufacturing
Company, Tulsa concern, the title
for eighty acres OF land adjacent to
tho park now building at Sand Spring.
Mr. Hancock has for several
months been working ON the propo
sltlon of building a national BARRIERS
meat u" made an agreement to do
nate five per cent of the gross re-
ceipts of his company's business to
the plan. Mr., Page was interested,
and agreed to donate the land The
tract of eighty acres was selected by
Mr.. Hancock. and is some Of the most
valuable land in Oklahoma. Border
ing along the wide Arkansas River,
the land Is especially adapted for
farming purposes, and when the pro-
posed home is completed, it will be
sef-supporting by the farm products
that can be raised
In the contract for the land tend
cred to Mr.. Hancock yesterday Mr.
Page asks that the home be built
within two years. In the event that
this is not done the land will revert
back to its original owner.
The plan for putting the movement
for Tulsa through VIII be to enlls
the support of the BARRIERS local uni
ons all over the country, and ther
ask the International BARRIERS union
to make a decision.
There is not little opposition tC
the Sand Springs site, Denver wants
the home So does a score Of Other
places, But Tulsa has the first bid
as the initial thought Of the home
was by a Tulsa man. Another thing
that makes Sands Springs especially
desirable Is that the mild winters OF
Oklahoma make 1t an agreeable eli.
mate for aged men.

Special to the World,
Oklahoma cry. okla, June l6.-
Governor Cruce has asked the three
members of the appropriateness
state capital commission to resign
and remove the obstacles to the gov
ernor's plan to have the state board
OF public affairs build the state house
at Oklahoma City
The designations wereasked not so
many days ago, though II was CON
months since that they were useless,
and that they would do the state a
service by resignlng and giving up
their salaries which at present are
what they would have been II the
commission had never been created
Chairman Tate Brady Of Tulsa was
In Oklahoma City Tuesday and
would have called on Governor Crucei
In the afternoon, except that dur
ing his stay in the outer apartment
the chief executive Of the state OF
Oklahoma slipped out side door
and went 10 the races.
Brady and DR.. Leo II. Bennett OF
Muskogee and Boone Williams Of Le-
high, the other two members of the
board, have been silent on the ques-
tion Of resignation since Williams In
al interview some months ago said
that the commissioners would not
voluntarily leave their offices.
Discussing the capitol staution n
few days ago, Governor Cruce said
that ne had plan IN mind to settle
tho question Of building a capitol be-
tween the commission and the board
OF affairs Probably he was refer
ring to the request for designations.
Should the capitol commission de-
cline to resign. there would be n
serious question whether the state
board Of public affairs could take
charge Of the capitol building ope-
ratlons. The commission was created
specifically for the purpose Of build
ing the capitol and even though 1t
should be without funds to carry on
Ns work, the fact OF It's existence
might bar the board Of affairs, which
has general authority, to supervise
the construction of all state buildings.
