-The gum of 1,000 to Unaccounted
for and the Committee Charges
Responsibility to Former Chief
Clerk Michael or VMmnhw Clerk
. Morrison or (he Two Jointly.
Washington, June 29. Expressing
tbe belief that there was a misap
propriation of state department
funds and recommending, as a result
thereof, the dismissal from the ser
vice of W. II. Michael, American con
sul general at Calcutta and formerly
chief clerk of tbe department, the
subcommittee of the bouse commit
tee on expenditures in the state de
partment yesterday uetnd adopted
tbe report which today It presented
to tbe full committee.
Tbe alleged misappropriation Is al
leged to bare occurred la connection
with tbe purchase of a portrait of
Associate Justice Dsy, former secre
tary of state and amounted to
f 1,100. Only S850 was paid to Al
bert Rosenthal, tbe artist who paint
ed tbe picture, whereas, the commit
tee during; lis Investigations traced
'to a slue l voucher the sum of
f 2,4S, on which voucher were writ
ten tbe words "for portrait and
frame of ex-Secretary Day."
Neither lb president nor the sec
retary or state, according to tbe re
port, baa the right to pay for por
traits ot former soeretarie pf state
from tbe emergency fund from which
came the money to pay for tbe por
trait In' question. Tbe testimony
having showed that tbe tl.SOO un
accounted for. was In. the .bands of
.Morrison as disbursing clerk and of
Michael as chief lerk, the commit
tee holds that the Ktouey was misap
propriated either by Michael and
Morrison Jointly or by Michael alone.
Tbe mysterious Boding of tbe
voucher for 12.450 which waa re
ported lost when tbe committee be
gan It Investigation but which latet
was discovered by a mrtaenger on
tbe floor or the disbursing clerk's
office, Is criticised by tbe committee
la Ita report as beyond human belief.
Both Morrison and Michscl should
be removed from office. In tbe opin
ion of the committee, for the good
of the public service.
Tbe subcommittee consists of
Representative Hamlin, of Missouri,1
chairman of tbe committee; Dent, of
Alabama, and Davis, of Minnesota, a
republican. As all three are In
fsvor of tbe report and as only one
other vote Is needed to have It adopt
ed by tbe full committee. It Js felt
tbst no doubt exist as to the out
come, la case the president and
secretary of state take bo action lo
tbe case. It was pointed out by a
member of the committee, a resolu
tion probsbly will be Introduced call
ing ob them to dismiss tbe two men.

London, June 29. The last, but by
no means the least Interesting of the
series of elaborate pageants in "con

queen to the city ot London and their
oRIclal reception by tbe lord mayor at

sovereign tor ages, waa accompanied
by much picturesque and quaint cere
mony. In duty bound the royal pro
cession halted at Temple bar, which
marks the city , boundary, while the
king awaited tbe necessary permission
to enter tbe city. Awaiting bis maj
esty were the lord mayor and tbe
sheriffs, mounted on horses and garbvd
In thr picturesque costumes of their
respective offices, atoo the aldermen
and the common councilors of tbe
city, who were In carriages.
On the arrival of their majesties at
Temple bar tbe lord mayor, having
dismounted, advanced to the king and
presented to bin) the pearl sword given
to tbe city by Queen Elisabeth. Tbe
kins touched tbe sword and returned
It, aud this being done tbe lord mayor
remounted his horse aud, carrying the
city sword of state, preceded the royal
procession to the Guildhall, where
formal greetings and congratulations
were exchanged between the newjy-
arowned sovereigns and tbe official
'epresentativeS of tbe city of London.
The crowds that witnessed the royal

LOST HIS TASTE
FOR BI6GAME
Because Government . Failed lo
Prosecute Sugar Trust Heads
Washington, June 29. That former
President Theodore Roosevelt had lost
hla preference for large game," be.
cause of the failure of the government
to prosecute former heads - of the
American Sugar Relining company for
the wrecking of the Real Estate Trust
company of Philadelphia in tbe Penn
sylvania Sugar Refiniug company deal
in 1906, was asserted yesterday before
the house sugar investigating com
mittee by George H. Karle, Jr., re
ceiver of the trust company. The
Pennsylvania refluery was acquired by
the American company and promptly
closed. . .
Mr. Earle, who declared he made re
peated effort to luduce the federal
authorities to take up the case, also
declared that considerable of his cor
respondence with Mr. Roosevelt In re
lation to thfe case was not communi
cated to tbe senata when a resolutlou
was passed calling for all papers. Mr.

"hUCIDK IS A PltlVATK AFFAIR"
Newspapers Must Record This Form
of Taking Off.
Tbe American academy of medi
cine Is a most eminently respectable
body of professional men, but 't Is
to be feared that a sensationalist has
got among the committee which has
just made a special report on suicide
In Los Angeles. "Suicide," says the
report, "Is a o'lvate affair. There Is
no more Justification for tbe publica
tion of such accounts than there is
for publishing other private matters"
From this thesis the report proceeds
to show that the publication ot the
news of suicides and of homlcIJes,
or of murd.era.and. other primes. Is
"a most powerful factor In the ctu
satlon" of such crime. The news
papers are therefore, accessories to
tbe crime, according to the commit
tee. We presume tbat it I pretty
well established that very gt eat. lum
ber of the population are Influenced
to crime or to any act by suggestion
of some sort. There doe not ap
pear to be mueh doubt tbat the pub
lication of the Lews of a suicide hs
otten been the immediate suggestion
tbat led to tfe self-destruction, at
thst particular time, of other un
nerved person suffering from melan
choly. It is not tc denied U?st
some newspapers are both accesiw
rlea to crime or plain criminals in
seeking to emphasize crime, vice and
horror. With tne committee when It
seeks to put a limit to tbe neve'
ending play o;on tbe "revolting d-
talls that must be sought lo the
depths of woe and in the lees of hu
man life history, one may bo In
hearty accord. .
But wis deny that "suicide la a pri
vate affair" or tbat suicide and homi
cide are pertinent only to those Im
mediately involved. The community
must be Informed of Its suicide. It
will not do to. physicians, neuro!
gists, alienists and psychologists to
ask that tbe ugly facts ot life stmll
be hushed up, and the argument It
still not good even when we are In
formed that .nnsse of men are high
ly susceptible. If humanity is De
cerning unstrung and If Insanity Is
on the Inrreate at an alarming rate.
then It la tlm-i that the community
should know It and begin to give
some attention to Itself.
Many a youth of criminal tendency
has undoubtedly been urged to bis
first act by reading of a robberv or
holdup. "Ah, ha," he says, "this
looks easy, end then hi weak and
criminal mind transmutes hi I -.lee
into action. hal It be kept a quiet
as possible or (hall the people be in
formed and t i energising force of
public oplnio-i be turned upon both
tbe police an I upon tbe other wak
and vicious herd which are ready at
any moment to commit crime when
the right ca. Sfilon comes Into pity?
If suicide nre falling all altou' vn.
shall .the ucptlbllltle of nerval
and refined persons be spared rr
shall the peopte be frankly sho-vn
