Secretary of State Knox was to appear before the house committee on expenditures in the state department at 3 o'clock this afternoon, to be questioned concerning a pecular payment of $0,000 by the department to Frederick Hale, a son of former Senator Eugene Hale, of Maine. He wll also be asked about the mys terious reappearance of the long lost voucher for $2,430 in the Day portrait case. .Secretary Knox was subpoenaed as the result of disclosures before the committee. The committee wants to know why the Canadian boundary fund was in creased by $3,000 at the instance of the state department without the knowledge of Dr. O. H. Tittman, super intendent of the coast and geodetic survey, who has charge of disburse ments of the fund, and why this $5, 0G0 was turned over to Frederick Hale, on no other authority than Mr. Knox's "O. K." on a slip of paper pinned to an unsigned voucher. This voucher bears only the signa ture of Mr. Hale, showing that he re ceived the money, two places where the official signatures are customarily placed being vacant. The slip bear ing Mr. Knox's "O. K." contains Mr. Hale's expense account and compensa tion aggregating $6,182.80. There is a disrount" of $1,182.80 and Mr: Hale received the balance.

Dr. Tittman told the com mittee he had never seen any evidence of the younger Mr. Hale's activities for which he received $5,000.

A careful search failed to disclose It The state department issued a state ment In which they say the payment to Hale was "entirely usual and sim ile." . The statement says further that Secretary Knox notified Chairman Hamlin that he had found the Day portrait, voucher, but Chairman Ham lin indicated that the Information was news to him when he obtained it from a witness.

OSLER IS Undertaker Leonard Makes Startling Dis covery in Stringer Cemetery Un known Persons Break Into Coffin to Rob Dead Body. A startling discovery was made this morning when C. R. Leonard end several others established posi tive proof that the grave of Mrs. Lottie M. Mosler had been lotted. Mrs. Mosler was a daughter of Mrs. Lydia Lockridge who resides at 419 Clark St., Plymouth. Mrs. Mosler worked in South B.nd sev eral years and after her death she was brought here for burial at the Stringer cemetery, May 19. While conducting the funeral of Jack Glass Monday afternoon Mr. Leonard noticed xhat the grave of Mrs. Mosler had been molested. The earth which is usually heaped about a foot above the level of the ground was sunken and scattered. His suspicions were aroused and this morning with the permission of Mr. Lockridge, Mr. Leonard, James Wickizer and Charlie Carpenter went out to the grave to make investiga tions. A pole was shoved, down through the soft sand and the party soon became - convinced of their suppositions. Upon digging down into the grave it was found that the head of the rough box had been broken in and the glass in the gasket smashed. The body had not been moved but a band ring was missing. It is supposed that tho party was searching for jewelery as Mrs. Mos. ler h&f; a watch and chain valned at $125, a diamond ring worth $75 a gold braclet and a locket in her possession at the time of her death. This jewlery, however, had not been placed upon the body. Suspicions point toward a man who visited the grave while it was being due:. Charlie Carpenter and James "Wiokizer, who did the work, were approached by a man walking from the rear of the grave yard. The man. was well dressed and car ried an umbrella. He asked Car penter the name of the party that Levi Grossman. Levi Grossman, of Parksburg, Pa. brother of Mrs. Wm. Zehner, died this , morning at his home. A num ber of relatives of Mr. Grosman live in this vicinity. The funeral will be held at Parksburt Monday. Mrs Elizabeth Ray.

The funeral was held in South Bend Friday morning and interment took place at Oak Hill, where several members of the family are buried Mr. Ray died several years ago. C. R.
