KICK REGISTERED
 AGAINST MESSAGE
Senators and Representatives
 Are Much Offended
MATTER WILL 8E Pa0BE0
Roosevelt Used Expressions in Mes sage in Reference to Secret Service Which coneressmen
 Do Not Like One Bit.

Washington, December 10.-Numerous conferences were held at the capitol to- day relating to President Roosevelt's mes sage to Congress and his recommendations concerning the secret service, in which he used language which is objected to by senators and representatives. The last of these conferences was at the office of Speaker Cannon. and was attended by the Speaker and Senators Aldreh and Hale.
 It was practically decided that a reso- lution should be introduced in the House tomorrow providing for the appointment of a select committee To consider the recommendations made for q restoration of the law regarding the secret service. and also to take account of the express sions in the message which were consd- cred offensive to members Of Congress. A resolution already has been prepared and is in the custody of Representative Per- kins of New York, who, according to the present understanding, will introduce it in the House tomorrow.
 Indications point to non-action by the Senate on the message until after the House committee has had opportunity to investigate the entire matter. The dem O1A0tit ScidlbiS nave ndQ lnIOInlai con- ferences concerning the language used by the President, and as a result Senator culberson, the minority leader today con- suited with Senator Hale, the new re- publican leader. Senator Cuberson took the position that the message could not be ignored, and suggested that the por- tion relating to the secret service be re- ferred to the Senate committee on ap- propriations for an investigation.
 At conference held during the day at the Senate end of the Capitol there were a number of republican senators pres ent who have always been ready to de- fend the President. They announced their decided opposition to suggestions that all that part of the Presidents message which has given offense should be ex- punged from the record. At the same time they announced that they would not oppose any resolution providing for an in- vestigation by the appropriations commit tee of the amendment adopted last year.

to Europe" said one woman, dissatisneo with present conditions. Then l went as a real tourist, and that was also the case with my friends. We visited the art gall leries and quaint old churches, explored old shops and always were on the hunt for new glimpse of impressive scenery. We covered hte Alps, and went down to Spain, and up to Norway. and came back refreshed In body and mind. Now all that is changed. To enter London, or Paris, or Berlin, or Rome, or Vienna is to be bombarded at once with invitations. So many American girls are married over there 1t is impossible to escape this deluge After round of receptions and other affairs lasting two or three weeks there is no slipping away quietly to the country, as in former days. Instead of that. it is imperative to race along the highways in automobiles, and as every body takes to the Zoad in fast cars, thers is no chance for day or even an hour of positive and comforting loneliness. So- ciety reaches out it's stiff hand wherevey you turn, and European travel has be- come artificial and insncere and more wearing than a quiet summer at home"

Social Whirl Wearies American So-
 citey Women.

From the Kew York Press.
 If many of the more thoughtful women of society have their way there will be less European travel in the future, and there win be full opportunity for the members of the social throng to gain little knowledge of the grandeur and beauty of nature in their native country. The fact is Europe has been overdone, and women who only a short time ago were attracted by the prospect of social triumphs in old World capitals have de- cided to confine their social activities to this country. European travel is no longer a pastime, but business and the job of pulling social strings in London. Paris and a few more large centers has proved too much of strain on nerves and temper
