KNOX REFUSES TO PRODUCE
PAPERS.

A lively controversy over the execu'
tiye's right to withhold confidential
papers from a Congressional probing
committee was precipitated at the Cap
itol Yesterday by fiat refusal OF Sec
retary of State Kuox, on the instruc-
ton OF President Taft, to lay before the
| House committee on expenditures IN
the State Department books showing
the record of the payment for the por'
trait of ex-Secretary OF State Day. The
committee is seeking to discover what
became of the 1900 balance on the
50 45O voucher for the payment OF the
portrait. Artist Rosenthai received
only $3.50 for his work and the II ,6oU
is yet unaccounted for.
The president held that the =. 4oU
was paid out of the emergency fund ior
unforeseen emergencies III the diPlo-
matte and consular service and for ex-
tending diplomatic intercourse with
foreign nations, which Congress had
provided need not be accounted Tor II
the president certifes that an item
Should be paid from this fund. Pre5l-
dent Roosevelt had made a certiiica-
ton and President Taft hesitated TO go
back OF that certifcation. Further
more. Secretary Knox explained TO the
committee that it was improper to pro-
duce the books because thereby other
undisclosed items of expenditure would
be revealed. Secretary Knox said he
was directed to complete his lnve5tiga-
ton into what became Of the money
and to report the facts to the president
Chairman Hamlin, Of Missouri, took
issue with the secretary's asserted right
to refuse to produce the record OF the
expenditure. -
DO you mean to say that s., 4oO
may be spent for portrait and Con-
gress refused all information in regard
to it ?" he asked.
Mr.. Knox replied that was proper
when former president certified TO the
expenditure from the emergency fund.
Mr.. HamIn threatened to take the
matter TO the floor of the House. a
.olln quv between the chairman and the
secretary finally resulted in the sngses-
lion that the chairman might be al
loved personally to inspect the rartic'
ular record. This course will probably
be followed,
