Day Portrait Voucher Case Reveals 1906 Secrecy Claim
Former State Department clerk Thomas Morrison told a House committee that an inquiry in 1906 was kept secret due to lack of proof of misappropriation of funds. He said Chief Clerk Carr instructed him not to discuss the missing voucher found recently in his office. Denby letters from Vienna and the 1908 discovery tied to a $850 portrait show prior practices and questions about accountability under Root and Hay eras. The committee notes potential doctored papers while probing how the Day portrait voucher was created and paid.
