Causes Subpoena for Sec'y
Knox 10 Explain.
$4,000 Said 10 Have Been Paid
From Canadian Boundary FundS.
Colonel Away Office Declares Pay
ment for Legal Service.

Washington, June ia subpoena
| for Secretary of State Knox appear
and explain the payment TO Frederick
Hale son of former Senator Eugene
Hale of Maine, of $4,000 from the Ca
madam boundary fund of the state
department, was issued today by tho
House committee on expenditures il
the state department. The money
was said to have been paid on the
sole authority of Mr.. KnoX's 20 X
on a piece of paper attached TO an
unsigned voucher.
The disclosure as to the Hale pay
ment was but one OF a series of sur
prises before the committee today
Thomas Morrison, disbursing clerk OF
the state department, declared that
the missing vouchers for $3.50 drown
in payment of a portrait of Former
Secretary Day and of which the artist
derived only $3.50. had been found by
a messenger on the floor of his Of
flee.
The voucher as found on the floor
appeared complete, Mr.. Morrison said
and contained Former Chief Clerk
Michael's explanation of how the
Mr.. Morrison asserted that when the
voucher disappeared from the files ii
had no such explanation upon it, The
explanation WAS not made public. II
has been eontended that the $1,000 was
spent in secret service.
In regard to the Hale payment Mr..
Morrison said that all he knew about
the matter was his direction from
Secretary Knox to pay over the $4,000
o. II. Titman. Canadian boundary
commissioner. called before the COM
mittee declared that the $4,000 pay
ment to Hale had never been explained
to him. He said his original estimate
for an appropriation of $4,000 had
been increased TO $4,000 by the state
department without his knowledge and
that he later learned the extra $4,000
had been paid to Hale.
The subpoena served on Secretary
Knox is returnable tomorrow
The state departments position is
that the Hale payment was usual and
precisely along the lines of the approp-
ration covering the definition of the
Canadian boundary, notably the Passa :
moquoddy bay negotiation, in connec-
ton with which Mr.. Hale had been
employed upon phase with which
Canadian Boundary Commissioner
|Tittman had nothing to do. New
regulations have already been issues
undermining the departments methods
of keeping accounts. 1t was stated
that before Disbursing Clerk Morri-
sons examination Secretary Knox to-
day sent word to Chairman Hamlin of
the committee that the Day portrait
voucher had been found, that Secre-
tary Knox had practically completed
his investigation of the matter and
wished a day or two to communicate
the results to the committee.
