PLAN TO REBUKE
MR.. ROOSEVELT
Committee Considering Drastic
Measures.
CRISIS COMES THIS WEEK

Interesting Debates Are Expected
When Report Of Committee Is Made
on That Portion Of Presidents Mes.
sage Referring to the Secret Service
Legislation.
Washington, Jan. 6.-Drastlc meas
ures are being considered by the Per.
kins special committee OF the house.
appointed TO recommend to the house
action in defense OF the body In reply
10 the criticism made by the president
in his annual message in referring %
the secret service legislation Of last
year
After the meeting OF that committee
a report spread that the committee
would recommend to the house that
the portion OF the annual message re-
ferriug TO the secret service be ex-
plunged from the record. Another re-
port was that the recent message, IN
reply to the request OF the house for
more information on the subject would
be returned TO the chief executive.
Neither report could be confirmed, as
members of the committee refused 20
discuss the probable action.
II is believed that the house will be
called upon to take action Thursday
or by the end Of the week at the
latest.
One OF the most interesting debates
Of the session is expected when the
report OF the committee is brought into
the house. Friends OF the president
will resist any drastic action that may
be recommended. On the other band.
Representatives Tawney, Smith, Sher-
ley and Fitzgerald are preparing 70
defend themselves against the refer
ences 20 themselves I'm the messagei
Their remarks, however, will not be a,
personal defense, as they maintain,
that they should not be parties 10 any
attempt 10 divert attention from the
controversy. which is between con-
gress and the president and not be-
tween thmselves and the president. Il
was for these reasons that none Of the.
representatives referred to would talk
regarding the matter for publication.

PresIdent Answer House 8

Pres ident Answers House Resolution.
Replying to the resolution of the
house of representatives, asking the
president TO explain the references to
the secret service in his recent annual
message. Mr. Roosevelt sent a special
communication to the house.
lie declares that the representatives
are wholly uniustifed in assuming
that the language of the message,
which commented on the prohibition
placed by congress on the use of Sc
cret service men in cases other than
those of counterfeiting Cand one or
two other matters which can be disre-
garded'D. is intended to cast a slur
upon them.
The language which the representa-
tives wanted explained is as follows:
"The amendment in question oper-
ates only to the advantage Of the Grim
inal of the wrongdoer. The chief argu-
ment in favor of the provision was
that the congressman did not them
selves wish to be Investigated by Sc
cret service men. A special exception
could be made in the law prohibiting
the use Of The secret service force fl
investigating members Of congress. IT
would be far better to do this than to
do what actually was done and strive
to prevent or at least to hamper eff
fective action against criminals by the
executive branch of the government"
The special message declares that,
notwithstanding the umbrage taken by
congress at this wording "a careful
reading Of this message will show that
] said nothing to warrant the state
ment that the majority Of the con
gressmen were in fear Of being inves-
tigated by the secret service men or
that congress as a whole was actuated
by that motive | did not make any
such statement in this message"
Mr.. Roosevelt declares the evidence
that members of congress did not wish
themselves investigated by secret ser
vice men is found in the debates re-
corded in the Congressional Record.
He denounoes as wholly unfounded a
newspaper story to the effect that he
wishes to make Chief Wilkie. of the
secret service. a second Fouche mod
elei after the notorious chief of police
OF Napoleon.
The real issue. says Mr. Roosevelt,
is, Does congress desire that the gov
eminent shall have at its disposal the
most efficient instrument for the de-
tec.ion Of criminals and the proven
tion and punishment of crime. or does
It rot?"
