GATHERING FACTS
Executive Will Soon Begin Preparing
Answer to Request of Congress.
NO SENSATIONS ARE EXPECTED
Data VIII show that Criminals Have
been quick to Take Advantage
of Curb on secret Service
Men.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23-Indicatlons are
that persons who expect President Roose-
welt to say something Of a personal nature
in his message to congress replying to the
inquiry as to the basis for that portion Of
his message dealing with the secret service
will be disappointed.
While the president has not yet written
his reply he has collected a stock of In
formation which will serve for its basis.
It is believed that he will confine himself
principally to an effort to sustain the dec
larstion in his annual message that the ac-
ton Of the congress in limiting the activi-
ties OF the secret service agents has re-
suited in increase of crime. Data will be
produced to show that criminals and con-
fidence men have been. quick to take ad-
vantage Of the cessation of the work OF
the secret service men, but 1t is not believed
that there will be any reflection upon the
character of individuals that will in the
slightest degree embarrass any member Of
the house or senate To meet any objection
that the secret service Is limited by statute
to the detection of counterfeiters, revenue
ana customs frauds and at the same time
to preserve the general us fulness of that
institution the president probably will rec
ommend change in the law so to pro-
vide for the merging of the secret service,
the land office inspectors postoffice in
spectors and all Of the other minor govern
mental Inspection service into one general
bureau of criminology in the interest of
economy and good administration.

Politics for Twenty
Years.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 23.-William ].
Bryan was asked today concerning his at
titude toward another nomination for the
presidency. He replied:
IAN 1 can say about 1872 is that hope
it will never be necessary for me to run
for office again. l prefer to do my work
as a private citizen.
when asked whether I would refuse in
advance ever being a candidate again,
have said 1 would not promise anybody not
to be a candidate for any office.
II will add one thing, and that is, am
still in politics and expect to be for about
twenty years, and 1 shall make 1t conven-
lent to be present whenever and wherever
a man or group OF men attempt to republi-
canize the democratic party. Six million
five hundred thousand voters of the de-
mocracy endorsed the platform adopted at
Denver. I am satisfied that a great ma
jority of those who voted the ticket
honestly believed in the platform, and ]
shall cooperate with them rather than with
those who would attempt to conciliate the
special interests that have defeated the
democratic party and now dominate the
country through the republican party"

WASHINGTON, Dec, 23.-The publication
IN Paris of Senator Teller's letter to Sir
Morton Frewen, the English bimetalist rel
ative to the rate of exchange between
American and European countries on one
hand and Aria on the other, has served the

TAFT TALKS OF ISSUES
Brother of President is For Larger
Navy, Tariff Revision and
Bigger Merchant Marine.

COLUMBUS, o.. Dec. 23.-Charles p. Taft
today indirectly struck at Congressman
Burton. his principal rival for election as
senator to succeed Senator Foraker. Mr..
Taft said:
'T stilI favor the caucus, because the
caucus is the part OF republicanism. The alb
sence OF the caucus will lead up 10 situ-
alton where the democrats of the legislature
will elect a United States senator. The re-
publican majority will be split up and the
democrats will cast the deciding votes II
no caucus Is held. What such combina-
ton would indicate, we can only learn by
examining the records of all candidates.
II he be free trade republican, democrats
would naturally send him to the senate.
Before making a choice on purely sentimen-
tai grounds. the people OF this state should
look into the records Of the candidates, for
Ohio should see that its representative is
man who would stand by the protective
tariff system at all hazards. / favor re-
vision along protective lines. / favor expan-
sion Of the navy and greater growth for
the merchant marine. We need proper COM
munication with South America"

POPE TIRES OF CONFINEMENT
In Conversation with Bishop Scan
nell Compares Himself to
Gagged Eagle.

ROME, Dec. 2S.-(special Telegram.)--
"I may be an eagle, but It is a Gagged
eagle. and eagles, you know, are unac-
customed to cages" said the pope today
to Bishop Scannell of Omaha, who had
told the pontiff from the quiet of the
Vatican he dominated the whole world
like a spiritual eagle"
The pope questioned the bishop regard
ing the reported strenuousness of Ameri-
can life.
Perhaps there is too much noise and
hustle in America the pope told the
bishop. 'but / sometimes think there is
too much quiet and lack of hustle here.
II we could strike a medium 1 think we
would all be better Off"
The pope's reference to being a Gagged
eagle is in line with number of state
ments he has made lately, indicating that
he is chatting under the restrictions of
the Vatican. At one time he declared
that he would gladly exchange the
pontificate for the old freedom he enjoyed
at Venice.

FREDERICK BURNHAM DEAD
Former President of Wrecked Insur-
ance Company Breathes
Gas.

NEW YORK. Dec. 23-Frederick A.
Burnham. former president Of the Mutual
Reserve Life Insurance company, was
found dead IN bed in his home at 6S East
Seventy-eighth street this morning Of gas
poisoning The police say death was due
to suicide.
The Mutual Reserve Life Insurance COM
pany went into the hands of receivers in
February last. President Burnham, his
brother. George Burnham, jr., the treasurer
of the company, and George d. Eldredge,
the actuary, wer indicted on charges of
larceny and forgery which grew out Of an
alleged payment of the funds of the COM
pany In satisfaction of personal claims
against some of its officers.
George Burnham, jr.. was tried on the
charge of larceny convicted and sentenced
to serve two years in prison, but the ap-
pellate division of the supreme court set
aside this verdict and Burnham was re-
leased. The case against Frederick A.
Burnham had not come to trial. and 1t was
understood that it would not be prosecuted
unless that against his brother George was
eventually won by the prosecution.
A civil suit to collect some Of the funds
alleged to have been paid in settlement of
personal claims had lately been instituted
against one Of the officers of the COM
pany.
The Burnham family physician, who
reached the home a few moments after
Mr. Burnham was found. said the case un-
doubtedly was one of accident. The gas
had escaped from a small stove which was
used to heat Mr.. Burnhams sleeping room.
Mrs. Burnham. who occupied an adjoining
room, was awakened by the odor of gas
and, opening the door Of her husband s
room found the apartment flooded with
tho deadly vapor. She threw up the win
dows, sent a servant for physician and
made desperate, but vain efforts to revive
Mr.. BurnhRm. When the physician reached
the house he said Mr.. Burnhams weak
heart had made him an easy victim to the
fumes and that he had been dead for some
time.
