Hamlin to Inspect Record.

Chairman Hamlin took issue with the
Secretary's asserted right to refuse to
produce the record of the expenditure.
do you mean to say that 81. 40 may be
spent for a portrait and Congress refused
all information in regard to it?" he asked.
Secretary Knox replied that it was
proper when a former President certified
to the expenditure from the emergency
fund.
Mr.. Hamlin threatened to take the mat
ter to the floor of the House. colloquy
between the chairman and the Secretary
finally resulted In the suggestion that
the chairman might be allowed person
ally to inspect the particular record. This
course will probably be followed. Mr..
Knox said that the books showed no fur
ther information than the committee was
In possession OF.
Mr.. Hamlin questioned Secretary Knox
closely as to what justification there was
for paying for portrait out Of secret
fund set aside for unforeseen emergencies
and extending diplomatic intercourse.
Mr. Knox said II had been the practice
since 1880. He informed the committee
that no trace had Yet been found of the
$2.45O voucher which Mr.. Rosenthal said
he signed in blank after receiving the
$3.50 personal check of former Chief Clerk
Michael, now consul general at Calcutta
He conceded 1t was very irregular for a
voucher to be made out for more than the
signer received, and that such action
placed a burden on him who made 1t out
to explain the circumstances
Il surmise-it Is just my impression"
said the Secretary. that II we find that
this $1,000 was legitimately expended.
notwithstanding the irregularity of the
record. that will end 1t, but II It has
been f1lched the greater the punishment
of the offender the greater will be our
pleasure
Senator Elihu Root Of New York, who
was Secretary of State when the 81 $50
voucher. which cannot now be found. was
removed from the nles Of the department
by then Chief Clerk DENLY, presumably
by Mr. Roots authority. will testify be-
fore the committee Tuesday of next week.

Three Living New Yorkers.

There are two other living Vice Presi-

place the busts of the Vice Presidents
in the gallery of the Senate chamber.

was to be put In place the bust of one
of the oldtimers had to be relegated

AS a compromise. 1t was recently
suggested that the busts should also
be placed in the corridors around the
Senate chamber. The busts Of the
older Vice Presidents were to be
placed in the inches In the chamber.
and those Of the more recent. number

happy one, and five are now placed
there. There Is already in position a

parison with the famous bust Of the
''Veiled Lady, in the Corcoran Gallery
Of Art. Those who visit the gallery al
ways stop and admire the genius that
has shown in marble a beautiful femi-
nine face. over which is drawn an
apparently transparent veil. And the
bust Of Mr.. Sherman. showing his smif-
ing. sharp eyes through eyeglasses, Is
expected to attract more than usual at
tention from visitors interested in art.
Vice President Sherman is much
pleased with Mrs. Vonnah's work. be-
cause he considers that an excellent like
ness Of himself has been produced In
marble, but especially because she has
portrayed him with the eyeglasses. which
are so much a characteristic of his ap-
pearance. Before the bust is actually
put in position among those Of the other
Vice Presidents 1t must be approved by
the congressional committee on the Ii
brary. but Mr.. Sherman's favorable opin
ion assures the approval by the commit

Sir: In view of the facts and circum-
stances set forth in your letter and of
the fact that the emergency fund ex-

express statutory authority Of Congress
(as contained in Revised Statutes. section
291) been certified by Mr.. Hay. Secretary
of State. for my predecessor. President
Roosevelt, as being Of such character
as ought not to be made public, / feel
that nothing but some extraordinary cir
cumstances would justify me In directing
you to take such records before the COM
mittee named because the discretion thus
exercised under the statutes should, In
my judgment, in general be conclusive
and binding upon this point.
With respect to the particular expendt-
ture in question, when the inaccuracy OF
you Immediately began an investigation
to determine the circumstances and de-
tails Of the expenditure, but have not yet
completed the investigation or reached
conclusion as to the fact. Meantime the
item has become the subject Of investiga-
ton before the House committee and has
been made public. You will conclude your
and submit the matter to
me, when l will determine whether the
money was expended as directed by the
Secretary of State within the lawful dis
cretion conferred upon him by the statute
or whether it was dishonesty and i'm
Misappropriated. If l have rea-
son to believe that the latter alternative Is
the true one. then l shall direct you to
submit the result of your investigation
with respect to the item to the commit
tee In the meantime l do not deem it
proper that you should submit to the COM
mittee the kilograms and other steps OF
partial details of your investigation. SIN
