VOUCHER.

WASHINGTON. June 15.--with the
endeavor of the House investigating
committee to trace the expenditure of
II 500 unaccounted for In the State De-
parfment apparently baked by the
grave. as 1t n now alleged the late
secretary Hay was the only man who
knew Its exact disposition, the COM
mittee to-day concentrated upon the
mysterious manner In which the
years. suddenly appeared ON the floor
beside a waste basket.
Chairman Hamlin charged that some
one In the Department tempered with
the missing document and then plac-
ed 1t where It could be found. Sec
rotary Knox promises that II this can
be proved, he will take vigorous ac-
ton. but offered no explanation to
contradict Hamlin's charges.
10 Much Flusterea.
Representative Harniin to-day is
sued summons for Chief OF Ac-
counts Morrison to again appear be-
fore the committee Meanwhile the
department IL much fiustered. but
vouchsafes no clew Of the mystery,
and sticks to story which has been
declared by the committee 10 be "toc
crude for credence."
According to Secretary Knox and ex-
pAdHHtion OF IOTnSr cui0I clerk MlCn-
ael made to former secretary Root,
the $1,000 was handed by Michael to
Hay. 1t was Michaels impression that
the money was to be expended in Chi
nese matters"
This $1,000 was the amount remain-
ing from $2,450 drawn. after Albert
Rosenthal, the artist, had been paid
for a portrait OF former Secretary
Day. Department officials acknowi-
edge that the procedure at least was
extremely bad book keeping"

Upon general principles we recognize the
right of men to strike In legal and orderly
way II is but the exercise of the right OF
choice as to whether shall or shall not
work under given conditions. and the further
right, as party to the contract, to have voice
In the fixing of the conditions and compensation
under which he agrees to work. In the case OF
these seamen we trust that they will conduct
their strike in orderly fashion, and the shipping
interests will consent 10 confer with their rep
resentatives with the view of speedy and sat
isfactory termination. 1t would be a calamity
indeed for the seagoing shipping and transpor-
tation OF America and Europe to be disturbed
for long. 1t might result in greater calamity TO
attempt to man these ships with inexperienced
and incompetent seamen. speedy settlement
OF differences Is desirable, and we can only
think in view of the important issues at stake,
that such agreement will be found.

The most original and honorable plan Ut
breaking down competition we have ever heard
of is the plan alleged to have been operated by
the Tobacco Trust in their war upon the Ware
Kramer people One W. NJ. Carter, an employee
of the Trust, secured stock in the Ware-hra'

noting the sales of his company, he systemati

stance being that OF shipment OF several car
loads of cigarettes 10 China. The Ware-krame1
Company were greatly surprised to learn that
their product had never reached its destination
but somewhere en- route the Trust goods had
been substituted Strangely enough, the Ware
Kramer Company received check for the con
signment in due course Of time The source
from which this payment came may be easily
