MYSTERY STILL
| HOLDS BOARDS
STATE DEPARTMENT PROBE
FAILS TO EXPLAIN THE DAY
VOUCHER.
Federal Official Told Clerk Not to
Talk of His Discovery Of the
Missing Papers.

Washington, June 16.-Thomas
Morrison, disbursing clerk of the
state department, told the house COM
mittee on expenditure in that de-
partment today that he had been in
structed, when the missing voucher
voucher in the Day portrait case was
found on the floor OF his office few
days ago to keep still about the dis
coyery. This instruction he said, was
given him by Wilbur ] Carr. chief of
the consular bureau.
The disclosure was made when
Chairman Hamlin asked him If he had
made any further attempts in his ex-
animation few days ago to discover
how the long missing voucher came to
be on the floor of mrs office.
Il was instructed not to say much
about it," Mr.. Morrison testified.
Who instructed your
"Mr. Carr told me not to discuss
the matter. He said 1t was not adj
yisable to say much about It, as it
would be investigated /"
The serious view taken of the mat
ter by the state department officials
were reflected in copy of a letter
from Charles DENLY, consul general
at Vienna, former chief clerk of the
state department under Secretary
Root when the first investigation in
to the mystery of the $2,450 voucher
for an $3.50 portrait was made. Sec
rotary Knox submitted this letter
dated Vienna, May 20, 1911. and a
cablegram previously received.
Answering Mr.. Knocks first cable
gram for an explanation of the por-
trait payment, Mr.. DENLY cabled from
Vienna, May 80, mo written report
was made. Careful preliminary inyes-
tigation failed to convince the depart
ment that criminal charges could be
sustained.
Reporting by mail, Mr.. DENLY ex-
planned the voucher discrepancy was
discovered in 1906 when the depart
ment negotiated for a portrait of
Secretary Hay, and that prior to the
Root regime it was customary to in
clude in one voucher smaller sums
paid for a number of expenses out
of the appropriations allotted to the
department to be expended at the sec
retary's discretion.
AS to the result of the investigation
which Mr.. DENLY said was never
conducted by the department in 1906
known outside of the department, the
former chief clerk reported.
How far the alleged Irregularities in
the use of this particular fund in
question were within the knowledge
of Secretary Hay could not be ascer-
tanned, as he died in 1905.
