Day portrait voucher mystery and Hale payment probe
The House Investigating Committee grapples with a Day portrait voucher found after five years and a $5,000 Hale payment from the Canadian boundary fund. Disbursing officer Morrison testifies on how a $2,450 voucher for the portrait became $2,450 again via a complex series of explanations, while Secretary Knox faces questions about Hale’s $5,000 fee tied to the Pacific coast boundary settlement. The saga touches the State Department accounts, the 1909 Hale payment, and irregular disbursement practices as officials seek clarity.
