 The following is the message received from the President by the hands of MT. Brent. To the Senate and the House of Representatives

 Washington. April ', 1928.
 In conformity with the practice of all my predecessors, l have, ,dur'ng my service in the office of president, transmitted to the houses of congress, from time to time, by the same private secretary, such messages as proper discharge of my constitutional duty appeared to me to require. On Thursday, he was charged with the delivery of message to each house. Having presented that which was intended for the House of Representa- tives whilst he was passing. within the capi- tai, from their hall to the chamber of the sen ate, for the purpose of delivering the other message, he was waylaid and assaulted in the rOtunda, by person, in the presence of one of the members of the House. who interposed and separated the parties. have thought it my duty to communicate this occurrence to congress, t, whose wisdom it belongs to con- sider whether it is of nature requiring from them any any animadversion and also whe- ther any further laws and regulations are ne- cessary to insure security in the official inter- course between the President and Congress, and to prevent disorders within the capitol it. self. In the deliberations of Congress on this subject, it is neither expected nor desired by me that any consequence should be attached to the pri, ate, relation in which my private secretary stands to me.

 The select committee was then ordered to consist of seven members. The House then adjourned.
 As the preceding will be wholly unintelli- gible without some explanation, shall state some particulars as we have learned them presuming that m our next we shall have an opportunity of presenting a statement of facts.

Jarvis, of the firm of Jarvis & Greene, editors of the Washington Telegraph, being at the Presidents house on one of the evenings he received and entertain ed company, caused the son and private sec retary of the president to express his aston ishment that one in the daily habit of assail- ing his father should have appeared upon the occasion stated-On which Col. Jarvis wrote a note demanding an apology. The note was not replied to. And while MT. Adams, jun. was passing from one house to the other with a message from the president. he was person. ally and violently assaulted by Col J. which he returned--when persons interfered and prevented further progress of outrage in the capitol of the United States.
