The directors likewise determined i
to nsk the Northwestern railroad to [
change the name of the station nt
South Norfolk from "Norfolk June-
tion" to the "Norfolk Third street stn1
tion. " This , it was pointed out , would
be of great benefit to Norfolk In ellin-

The Portrait Mystery.
As to the voucher signed by Albert ;
loscnthnl , the portrait painter , calling |
or ? 2.450 , of which sum Rosenthal
jot but $850 , Mr. Knox could give no
low facts. A week ago , said Mr. Knox , j
Mr. Carr , chief of the consul bureau , '
irought the voucher and papers to'j '
ilm , saying that they had been found
on the floor of Disbursing Clerk Mor-'j '
Ison's office.
"Did you make any Inquiry to find
out why they got there ? " asked Chair-
nan Hamlin. 'j '
"I did , " said Secretary Knox , "and i
could learn nothing. " I
At this point Secretary Knox added
a new element to the mystery.
"You will be interested in another
receipt from Mr. Rosenthal that is at-
: ached to the papers , " he said to the
committee. "It was signed January
18 , 1904 , nnd is for $790 , with a nota-
: ion that $60 for the frame of Secre-
: ary Day's picture had boon paid to a
Washington picture dealer. "
Mr. Hamlin grabbed the papers.
"Where did this second receipt
come from ? " he demanded.
"I found it with the papers ; that is
all I know of it , " said Secretary Knox.
Thinks It "Doctored. "
The members of the committee ,
upon examination found that it was
not actually dated January 18 , 1904 ,
but read "Received January 18 , 1904 ,
the sum of $790 , " with an explanation
of the purpose.
Mr. Hamlin declared ho believed
there was something wrong about the
receipt. He intimated that ho be
lieved It bad been fixed up at least as
to the explanation written in inkj I
across the bottom , after the present .
investigation began. | '
"Do you mean that you suspect
someone in the state department is'
guilty of committing perjury ? " demanded - -
manded Secretary Knox with heat. j |
"Thero is no intention to reflect on
yon personally , Mr. Secretary , " re
turned the chairman , "but I am strong
ly of the opinion that this was prepared
.
pared after this inquiry began. " I
"Then you think that Mr. Rosen-
thai has written nt least part of this j |
receipt since the tlmo indicated In
it ? " asked Mr. Knox.
Mr. Hamlin replied that ho thought
It was a curious receipt and that he' '
intended to probe the circumstances
to the bottom. I
"I,111 welcome such nn investlga-j i
tion , " snkl Secretary Knox , "and If
you can show that any ono in the stato' '
department was cognizant of such an1
act , there will bo iomo vacancies in !
the department. " I

Disbursing Clerk Morrison's office , I [
who found the envelope containing the

ing clerk's office , after the whole de
partment hnd been ransacked for it ,
was then put on the stand.
Ho said ho found the envelope
among a lot of crumpled ones by Mr.
Morrison's waste basket , about four
and a half feet from the latter's desk.
Ho said that Mr. Morrison always
threw the crumpled envelopes down
on the floor and that in picking them
up nt the close of the day ho found
the heavy envelope amongst them.
"I laid it on Mr. Morrison's desk , "
said Sangston , "and he said : Why
Howard , where did you got this ? This
is the voucher that has been causing
all the trouble. "
Sangston said ho had not put the
envelope there , had Been no ono throw
it 1 there nnd had no idea how it got
there. Ho said lie did not know that
it 1 contained the missing papers , save
for f the fact that Mr. Morrison hnd
said It did when ho took It up nnd
opened.It. . .
Secretary Knox Introduced the let
't ter Secretary Root hnd written to
Mr. Michael , now consul general at
Calcutta < , and former chief clerk , when
the t Rosonthnl matter first came up In

St. Catherines , Ont , June 14. At

by refusing applications made by sev
eral foreigners for naturalization pap
ers.
"Many of these people , " said the

turalization papers , though they never
intend to become citizens of Canada.
They simply use the certificates of
citizenship for commercial purposes
and to aid them to get in and out of
the United States.
"A man to whom we granted natu-
rallzatlon papers some time ago cauio
to the clerk and asked for another
certificate because the ono we gave
him was worn out. No doubt he loan-
ed it to the foreigners for use in
traveling between Canada nnd the

head. The clerk was not so sure it
was the bamo man to whom the ccr-
tlficnto bad been originally granted"

separate piece bo weighed and label

MUST HAVE EGRESS.
Ample Fire Escapes Must Be Provided
or Picture Shows Will Close. I
Lincoln , June 14. Radical changes
In almost every moving picture house
In Nebraska are promised by the adopj j j
tion of new rules and regulations by ,
Deputy Labor Commissioner Louis V. I
Guye , for the carrying out of the fire
escape and theater inspection law ,
passed by the last legislature.
Under the deputy labor commission
er's interpretation of the law , the
little , narrow exit at either side of the i
stage in moving picture houses must
be enlarged to doorways three feet
wide by six feet and six Inches high. I .
Mr. Guyo believes the prevailing nar- j
row exits near the stage are worse i
than no exit , because they are nn Invi- j j j
tation for the people to crowd Into an' '
Impossible opening and that in case of i
a fire or a panic the narrow openings
would be worse than none.
There is no emergency clause at
tached to the new law , but it states j
that nfter the approval of the act it
shall bo in effect. The act was signed
by the governor April 10. It provides
that every hotel , boarding house , store
house , tenement house , every building
now or hereafter used in whole or in
part as a public building , public or
private institution , office or store ,
school house , theater , public hall ,
place of assemblage , or place of pubj j
He resort moro than two stories high j
and containing above the ground lloor i
sir oping apartments , work rooms , etc. , j
shall be provided with ono or more fire !
escapes constructed on the outside of I i
the building. The number rests with
the deputy labor commissioner.
Wants to Go Back to an Easier Beat.
According to n number of councilmen -
men , Patrolman Livingston wants to
go back to the Junction ns night pa
trolman. The pavement hurts his
feet here , is the complaint he is mak
ing. The patrolman's salary at the
Junction has been Increased and in
the fnco of this Mr. Livingston de
clares he would rather work at the
Junction for $5 less per month.
Junction people will strenuously ob
ject , It Is said , to the return of Liv
ingston to the Fourth ward. They
don't object to his drawing pay from
the city , but from their past experi
ence with him they feel that he is too
old and too incompetent ns a police
man to be entrusted with the protec
tion of tholr property , and they were
glad when he was saddled upon the
business portion of the city In order to
give them n new man. Tlu > y any they
arc not trying to got n man down
there for less money , but what they do
want Is a policeman who will bo of
service to them. They think Living
ston has outlived Ills usefulness as an
officer of the law but because they
feel kindly toward thu old man , they
arc glad to have him draw down city
pay uptown so long ns the business
men will put up with the kind of ser
vice that ho is giving them.
Junction people say that while Liv
