KNOX Is SEEKING
MISSING VOUCHER
Effort Made to Explain Dis
appearance of Paper.

! Secretary OF State Knox has begun a
searching investigation TO ascertain the
wherea bouts Of the missing voucher for
s2.4jO which. according to the testimony
Of Thomas Morrison, chief of the Bureau
Of Accounts before the House investiga-
ton committee. is not in its proper place
| in the files Of the department.
The voucher was removed from the files
in 1865 by direction of Elihu Root. then
Secretary of State. and has not been re-
| turned. 1t that time Charles DENLY, now
consul general at Vienna, was chief clerk
Of the State Department. and aided Mr..
| Root in investigating the portrait in
cident. Secretary Knox has asked Mr..
DENLY what he knows of the incident
with especial reference to the disposi-
| tion OF the voucher
Secretary Knox first learned about a
| week ago that the investigating commit
tee intended to look into the incident
| of the Day portrait. Albert Rosenthal,
the Philadelphia portrait painter. who
was subpoenaed by the committee, in
formed Mr.. Knox that he had been sum-
moned to appear before the committee
in connection with the incident. Mr..
Knox then learned for the first time
of the transaction.
When he called upon Chief Morrison.
of the Bureau of Accounts, he was in
formed that the voucher was missing

ed by direction Of the Secretary of State.
of which $50 was for a portrait of Sec
retary Day.
The only two persons who, in addition
to Mr.. Rosenthal, figured in the original
transaction were the late John Hay, then
Secretary of State, and William ii.
Michael, American consul at Calcutta,
India, who was then chief clerk of the
department. Shortly after Mr.. Hays
death. in July. 1906. the transaction was
investigated by Secretary Root and
Chief Clerk DENLY. 1t was at this time
that the voucher was withdrawn from
the Bureau Of Accounts and was not re-
turned to its proper place. The result
of Mr. Roots investigation was never
made public. Senator Root informed an
officer of the State Departm5 mt last week
that while he remembered the general
points OF the investigation, he was unable
to recollect the details.
According to the officers Of the State
Department, the voucher was juggled for
the purpose of hiding an expenditure for
some highly confidential service, which
it was regarded as desirable to record
permanently. The appropriation from
which the money was drawn was under
direct charge of the Secretary Of State,
who is not required by law to make a
detailed accounting to Congress Of the
