| Associated Press Dispatch WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Some documents in the case of Major Ray, said to be missing from the war de- partment files. turned up today, and were sent to the Holm committee by Secretary Stimson. who said the pa pers had been found in the personal effects of J. Franklin Bell. formerly chief of staff of the army.
 The committee already had sub poenaed General Tasker Bliss, said to have copies of the documents. The records show that Ray, when under investigation in the Philippines on charges of signing a false certificate, used a character recommendation from 3Ir. Taft, then president-elect; that on another occasion Ray was ordered to the Philippines at his own eX- pense by Genneral Bell. who cabled that the order was by direction" By what direction was not disclosed by the record, and the committee considers calling Bell
 After Ray had been on leave from the Philippines, before the cOnven- tion of 1908, Bell ordered him back to the islands. and wrote Genneral Funston at san Francisco that ROose- welt had directed him, Bell, to au- thorize Ray to sail on a Pacific liner. Telegrams were exchanged between Bell and Bliss in connection with the charges against Ray, which resulted in no cOurt-martial. Among those recovered are some that indicate high influence was used to prevent the court martial.
