pointing out that the same money ought
to be used to build up a public insti-
tuition or institutions that would stand

associations.
Under the present hospital system the
appropriation bill each year carries

Ceiba, Honduras, June IL Local
authorities today confirmed the report
that the supply of arms and ammuni-
ton which left Mobile yesterday on
the Norwegian steamer Herald are for
the Honduran government. No Gre
dence is given here to rumors of an
other early revolution in this country,
but the government is preparing to
fully equip several regiments with
modern rifles.
There is no foundation for the re-
port that the steamer Siren, which
suddenly appeared in these waters in
February after a mysterious mission
from Norfolk and sailed from Gulfport,
Miss, with arms and ammunition in
tended for revolutionists. The Siren
is laid up at Ruatan Island.
Another report circulated in New
Orleans is that which connected Gen.
Lee Christmas with alleged revolu-
tionaryl plots said to be Matching in
that city. General Christmas Is not on
unfriendly terms with the Honduran
government officials, as was stated.
nor is he planning to go to New Or
leans within the next few days. Fol-
lowing his resignation as governor Of
Cortez, General Christmas went to
Tegucigalpa, the capital, where he is
now chief Of police. Everything is
quiet along the north coast of the
country and no reports of trouble in
the interior have been received here.

Washington, June 14.-An intfmation
of doctoring the now famous Day por-
trait voucher and a consequent lively
colloQuy between Secretary Knox and
Chairman Hamlin Of the house inves-
tigating committee, the testimony of
ger that he found the voucher on the
floor near Morrison's desk after the
archives had been ineffectually ran
sacked, featured today's state depart
ment investigation.
Correspondence between Knox and
Consul General Michael of Calcutta in
dicated the mysterious difference be-
tween the amount of the voucher and
the actual amount paid to the portrait
painter had been applied to emergency
accounts, probably in Chinese matters,
according to Michael. The exchange
between Knox and Hamlin blew over
quickly. Morrison will probably be re-
called to explain how the voucher
happened to be among some "crumpled
envelopes" near his waste basket at
the close of the days work long after
the search.
Knox replied, apparently to the sat
isfaction of the committee, that the
payment Of $4,000 to Frederick Hale
was for services in connection with the
Canadian boundary negotiations. Hale
was employed, not actually to 10 catethe

matte work"
A new feature to the Day portrait
affair was added by Knox when he
presented another receipt, which he
said was attached to the papers. II
was signed January IS, 1904, was for
$3.50, with a notation that $50 for a
frame for Days picture had been paid
a Washington dealer.
Hamlin grabbed the papers and de-
manded where the second receipt came
from. Knox replied that 1t had been
found with the papers"
Members of the committee found II
was not actually dated January Is. but
read received on January Is, 1904,
etc.
sFIaEFll4Fl- -intfnated he believed the re-
ceipt had been fixed up. Knox heated
ly replied DO you mean that you
suspect some one in the state depart
ment is guilty of committing perjury? p
Hamlin assured Knox he did not In
tend to reflect on him but he intended
to probe the circumstances to the bot
tom.

Louisville, KY, June 14.-MemberS Of
the Southern Newspaper Publishers
Association in session here today
adoted resolutions urging senators from
the southern states to vote for the
Canadian reciprocity measure now be-
fore the senate. The resolution fol-
lows:
I'VE urge upon the senators from the
southern states to vote for the Cana
dian reciprocity bill now before the
senate. We request this, first, because
we believe the reciprocity measure will
prove beneficial to all the people of the
United States. We also urge the
southern senators to support the meas
ure on account of the provisions in the
bill regarding print paper and wood
pulp, not because we are asking special
legislation for our benefit. but because
we believe these measures to be fair
to the manufa cturers of print paper in
this country as we'll as to the news
papers. for the reasons so clearly elu-
cidated by the president in his Chicago
speech.
The exactions to which the news
paper publishing industry of the coun-
try has been subjected are so manifest
that one of the foremost Republican
opponents of the reciprocity measure,
who submitted a minority report to
the senate yesterday opposing the bill,
been subjected to extortion and have
been forced to conduct their business
under conditions which are intolerable.
This senator, as a. member of the A.
nance committee, had heard all of the
evidence submitted to that committee
and his conclusion is added evidence
of the justice of this portion of the
reciprocity bilI."
Knoxville, Tenn. was chosen as the
next meeting place of the Southern
Newspaper Publishers Association at
the final session held this afternoon.
The following officers were unanimous
ly elected to serve during the ensuing
year;
r. w. Brown, president, the Louis
vile Times; Victor Hansen, Vice-pres-
ident, the Birmingham News; George
w. Brunson, Jr., secretary and treas
urer, the Greenville, S. c., News. EX-
ecutive committee: w. NJ. Clemens,

sential details her testimony supple
mented that of Charles L. Warmer.

that Mrs. Ford received a large part of
the $64S,000 which he said he had
taken from the railroad company. Mrs.

failed to return a verdict. She is still
under indictment. Ever since her

and she will be forced to give her tes-
timony from a wheel chair.
