Reference to Alleged Restrictions by
Congress to the Secret Service
to be Resented by the
Senate.
COMMITTEE AT WORK
On Report Which viii Declare That
No Congress Has Given More :
Liberal Support Than
the Sixtieth.

WASHINGTON Feb. 11.-Roose-
welt has been rebuked by the senate
committee on appropriations for his
assertions that the restrictions placed
by congress upon the discriminate use
of secret service men has been a
benefit only to the criminal classes"
The committee has been investig ating
the subject some weeks back and will
soon be readv to report. Among other
things it will say: mo congress In
the history Of the government has so
literally supported the executive
branch of the government - appro-
priations to aid In the execution of law
as has the .,lxtieth congress. 1t has
never been the intention of any con-
gress to build up a spy system. There
have come to the attention of the COM
mittee alleged cases of misuse and
improper official conduct Of the secret
service employees but the committee
has not Fad time to verify these"
The report of the committee was
read to the senate today by Senator
Hemenway.
In his statement he explained ut
should be made clear the limitation
would in no way affect any portion Of
the inspection of the secret service in
any of the departments Of the govern
ment except the sixty-five men in the
secret service Of the treasury depart
ment." He said the committee learned
instead of devoting their time where
congress intended to they had been
transferred to the inspection OF land
frauds and other work. He pointed to
the fact that the thirty-two million ap-
propriated to protect the government
against land frauds was a violation Of
! the laws.
The committee is composed Of Re-
publicans and Democrats, and recon-
mends the investigation continue after
the present session of congress closes
in order to secure complete details OF
the character of the services per-
formed not only by the secret service
| men but by the special agents.

Augusta News.
TBy a staff Correspondent.

AUGUSTA, H., Feb. 11.-Augusta,
one of the prettiest little cities in
Hancock county, is tied up this week
and business is not very brisk. The
people from the rural districts are un-
able to get to town on account of the
lad roads. which are said to be worse
than for years. But the town is a
live one despite these bad features
and it's people are progressive bunch,
believing in doing things for the bet
terment of the community at large.
The last move is for a public park,
Mr.. w. O. Farlow being the man to
propose it. At regular meeting re-
Gently a committee was appointed to
solicit funds to finance the scheme,
and the people are working together
to that end. The park will be located
in the south part of town.
Asa Clark of Augusta and Miss Con-
stance B. Noak of Miami, Texas, were
married in Kansas City January 26.
The groom is son of S. G. Clark and
| is a prosperous young farmer. The
bride is daughter of DR.. ]. V.
Noakes, formerly of La Prairie. This
couple will live on the s. S. Walker
! farm south of town.
| The people are enthusiastic over the
prospects for oil and gas. A company
of eastern men are at work now drill
ing on the w. b. Manlove farm, five
miles northeast of town, and short
distance from the village of Birming
! ham. The keystone drilling machine
a powerful piece of mechanism. is be
ing used. it having been shipped from
| Beaver Falls, Pa. The machine will
drill to depth of $500 feet The
directors have placed an order for
1900 feet of iron casing to be eight
and one-fourth inch pipe.
| II these wells prove a success the
towns and villages in this territory
will grow rapidly, for not every com.
munity can boast of such enterprises
The company is selling S100 shares for
! S15, and rumor has it that many
shares are yet to be sold before work
can proceed. However, the company
have sufficient funds to enable them
to pipe the wells and get ready for
business.
1t has long been supposed that oil
exists here because of the lay of the
land and the immense coal beds. The
| finding of oil in eastern Illinois caused
a boom and the folks of eastern Han.
/ cock are entitled to the same luck.

CACTUS LEATHER NEW PRODUCT
Giant saouaro from Mexico Adapted
to New Use.

The recent discovery of n new pro
duct. called cactus leather, was an &C.
cident, like great many other useful
discoveries.
There are almost thousand species
of cacti. large number of which for
est the deserts OF Arizona and some
of the states. and extend far into Mex
leo.
The saguaro cactus, or Cereus gi-
gauteus, the largest growth of all,
which towers sometimes to a height
of f5 feet or more, heretofore has
nevor been utilized for any purpose,
except that the fruit is sometimes
eaten by the Indians.
In Mexico the maguey plant is
largely used in the manufacture OF
pulque. mescal, tequila and aqua miel,
and tie fiber for rope and mating.
From the pulp of the leaves paper is
made.
Tuna. the fruit of the opuntia, is
relisled by many.
The ocotillo has served usefully in
the construction of houses, or shacbs,
and fences for the Mexicans and In
dians.
From the niggerhead cactus
echinocactus wislizenii- cactus candy
is made by softoning the fiber by boil
ing and filing the pores with sugar.
Other species of cacti have limited
uses.
In Tucson one day. while handling
Il piece of the echinocactus wislizenli,

was pressed from the fiber, the great
strength and pliability t possessed.

and chalklike. Experiments, in an ef-
fort to obtain strength and pliability

in the fiber when dry. led to q success
after about year Of careful work
1t was discovered that the giant sa
guaro was particularly adapted TO the
manufacture Of cactus leather pred
ucts.
The heart of the saguaro is peru-
liarly formed, being a series Of rods
or poles set in a circle. extending
from top to bottom Of the cactus, and
into the earth in the form of roots
This heart of the cactus also proved
OF great value in the manufacture OF
many fancy articles. such as baskets.
caneholders, boxes. picture frames.
veneers and for numerous other prr'
poses too varied to mention.
When used in this way sufficient OF
the fiber is left adhering to the rods
to bind them together in the form de
sired After tanning and drying this
fiber makes tough. leathery joint,
which binds the sticks together in the
most secure manner.
