Letter from Elliott Northcott to Philander C. Knox

Letter from Elliott Northcott to Philander C. Knox

Elliott Northcott, Minister to Colombia, reports to Secretary of State Knox on the conduct of Edwin Warren Guyol and Earl Harding, reporters for the New York World who were visiting the legation to investigate the revolution in Panama. Their aim was to secure evidence to be used in a trial against the World. Guyol and Harding both acted badly, and Harding accessed the legation’s records without permission. Legation clerk Alfred A. Norsworthy, who gave Harding access to the papers, was dismissed. Harding threatened to publish information that would get Northcott and other legation officials fired.

Letter from John A. Herman to Philander C. Knox

Letter from John A. Herman to Philander C. Knox

John A. Herman is a graduate of Princeton University and has practiced law for over twenty-five years. Although his knowledge of Spanish is rusty, he believes he could quickly revive it. As Senator Knox may know, Herman’s relatives were soldiers, but lameness from a childhood accident prevented him from following suit. He vows to faithfully administer the duties of any office given him.

Letter from Charles J. Bonaparte and Holmes Conrad to Philander C. Knox

Letter from Charles J. Bonaparte and Holmes Conrad to Philander C. Knox

Charles J. Bonaparte and Holmes Conrad, Special assistants to the Attorney General, submit a supplementary report regarding accusations by Postmaster John A. Merritt against Seymour Wilcox Tulloch, who, for many years, was cashier of the Washington Post Office and Secretary of the United States Electric Light Company, which gave the appearance of a conflict of interest. In their opinion, Merritt’s charges against Tulloch were unsubstantiated. They pointed out, however, that several questionable postal practices should be discontinued.
