Secretary Has Lille 10 Offer
In Portrait Voucher Case.
Steel Corporation viii Suggest
the Names Of Witnesses.
Clash Over Figures Relating TO the
Rates OF Steel Trust Railroads.

Washington, June 1.-THE mystery
that surrounds the sudden discovery
in the state department of the Day
portrait voucher. found a week ago
on the floor of the office of Distribut-
ing Clerk Morrison was not cleared
up when Sec of State Knox appeared
today before the Hamlin committee
of the House, in response to the COM
mittees subpoena issued yesterday.
Secretary Knox explained apparently to
the satisfaction of the committee the
payment of 5000 to Frederick Hale, son
of former Senator Eugene Hale of Maine,
for services in connection with Canadian
boundary negotiations. Mr.. Knox pro-
duced the sections of the treaty in 1908
which authorized negotiations with Can
ada to establish the line through Passa-
maquoddy bay. Mr.. Hale was employed
for this work and performed his duties
To the satisfaction of Sec. Root. and Sec.
Knox approved the bill of 5000 a few
weeks after becoming secretary OF state
Mr. Hale was not employed to actual
~ locate the boundary, but for the dip
limatic work of agreeing on the line
through Passamaquoddy bay. said Mr..
Knox. when he failed to reach an
agreement with Great Britain the matter
automatically went to arbitration. Con-
gress then appropriated SIS, 600 for that
work; but Mr., Bryce and | sat in my
office one day and settled the matter. not
regarding it of enough value to go to the
expense of arbitration We reduced our
agreement to writing. it became a treaty
between the United States and Great Bril-
tain and as such was ratified by the SEN
ate.'
As to the voucher signed by Albert
Rosenthal. the portrait painter, call
ing for $2450, of which he got but $3.50,
Mr.. Knox could give no new facts. He
knew only that he started search for
it as soon as he heard about the case
and that the search failed to reveal
any trace of the voucher. or letters
that were supposed to be with it.
A week ago. Mr.. Knox said, Mr..
Carr chief of the consular bureau,
brought the voucher and papers to
him. saying that they had been found
on the floor of Disbursing Clerk Nor
risons office. AT this point, Sec. Knox
added a new element to the mystery.
You will be Interested in another
receipt from MI KoStIlttdl lIdl Is az
tached to the papers" he said to the
committee. 1T was signed Jan, IS. 1904,
and is for $3.50 with notation that $50
for the frame of Sec. Days picture had
been paid to a Washington picture
Dealer
Howard Sangston. the messenger in
Disbdrsing Clerk Morrisons office. said
he found the envelope containing the
voucher among a lot of crumpled en-
velopes by Mr.. Morrison's waste bas-
ket.
II laid it on Mr.. Morrison's desk =
said Sangston, and he said: Why
Howard. where did you get this This
is the voucher that has been causing
all the trouble -"
Sangston said he did not put the en-
velope there. saw no one throw it there,
and had no idea how it got there. He
said he did not know that it contain
ed the missing papers until Mr.. Nor
risor said it did.

Lewis Shire Of WaterviIIe
As the Principal
And Samuel RubinoVlsch Of
Newport as Ahbetior
Ia Settling Fire In Nswpori--No Ball
Found. Men Committed.

Newport, Me-, June 14.-(SpeciaD.-
with the crime of arson and Samuel
Rubinovisch of this place with aiding
and abetting the crime of arson, were
both held by Judge f. Wade Halliday
in the municipal court Wednesday for
the August criminal term of the su-
preme court to be held at Bangor. Both
men were unable to obtain bail in the
sum of $4,000 and were taken to Ban
gor jail by Deputy Sheriff Edgar r.
Dow.
Shriro and Rubinovisch both pleaded
not guilty Wednesday and the evidence
i'll behalf of the State was put in under
the direction of County Attorney
George e. Thompson of Bangor. At
torney Fred w. Clair of Waterville in
behalf of Shriro and John E. Nelson,
attorney for Rubinovisch, waived hear
ing for the defence and threw their
clients on the mercy of the court
Judge Halliday stated that he found
probable cause and held both men for
the high court, fixing bail at $1,000 in
each case Several relatives of
Rubinovisch who have gone bail for
him since Sunday evening refused
longer to be responsible and surrend-
cred the man.
The witnesses were c. Trueman Libby,
Wallace L. Rackliffe, Deputy Sheriff Ed
gar r. Dow and .ohn Jordan They told
in detail about the fire in the fruit store
of Rubinoyisch on Mill street Sunday
evening. Their evidence was practically
one thing-that when they entered the
store they found fire in three distinct
places on the shelves. The fire had evil
IDENTIFY been set and had been burning but
a short time when discovered.
They also testified that Shriro, who had
just left the store when the flames were
discovered, came back and assisted in
extinguishing the fire. Witnesses also
testified that he attempted to put the
burned paper in one place on the shelf
to give the appearance of there having
been but one fire. Witnesses said he ex-
pressed no surprise at the fire and Of
fered no explanation as to how it caught.
Evidence was also introduced to show
that the stories of Shriro and Rubino-
visch in regard to the formers presence
at Newport Sunday conflict. Rubinoviseh
had told that Shriro came to Newport on
his own account, while it was shown
that Shriro has stated that he came in
response to a telephone message from
Rubinovisch. 1t was also shown that
Shriro stated that Rubinovisch told him
Sunday morning that he was going fish
ing for the day, while Rubinovisch told
that he advised Shriro Sunday morning
that he intended to drive to Bangor and
return. The men have also told other
stories of a widely conflicting nature.
1t is known that County Attorney
Thompson has also found new evidence
of a character damaging to the respon-
dents. This evidence he will not intro
duce until the grand jury sets at Bangor.
The hearing was held in Town hall, be-
cause of the large number of people who
wished to be present. The large hall was
packed to the doors.
