WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan, 1.-THE

itations on the activity of the secret SER
vice imposed in the bill of last year, and
which started all the trouble leading up
to the rebulxing of the executive.
Representative Smith, one of the mem
bers of the appropriations committee
who took part in the rebuking business
last Friday, when asked what he thought
of the report that the president would
veto the sundry civil bill If it didn't suit
him, replied:
Suppose there isn't any sundry civil
bill for the president to sign? There is
nothing to require congress to pass this
bill before March 4th The money carried
by it will not become available for use
until July LIST, and there is no great need

GOVERNOR ADVISES
SAVANNAH CITIZENS

In reply to a letter from q citizen OF
Savannah designating certain places In
that city where. as he stated, malt hd-
uors are being sold In violation Of the
prohibition law, Governor Smith has
called attention TO an act in the code
of Georgia, whereby any private citi-
zen or citizens, may enjoin and prose-
cute the illegal sale Of spirituous or
malt liquors.
At the outset of his reply, the govern
or says:
II am gratified TO learn OF your de-
sire to aid In the enforcement OF the
laws of the state and I canot doubt
that the good citizens Of savannah SYM
pathize with your views"
He then suggested, first, that the
writer of the letter call upon the so
lieftor-general Of the circuit and lay
the facts before him. The governor
then writes:
Permit me also to call your atten-
ton to the act approved Decemoer ~
1883, found in the Georgia laws or 1893,
page rs. This act declares places where
spirituous, malt or intoxicating liquors
are sold in violation of law to be nuis-
ancss and provides that The same may
be abated and enjoined as such on the
application of any citizen or citizens OF
the county where the same may be To-
Gated. Under this act any one or more
citizens can present bill to the judge
of the superior court and enJoin the
continuation Of the Illegal sale OF spirit
Gus or malt liquors. The act further
more provides that The courts shall
have authority TO order the ofr-
GERS to break open such blind tiger and

their stock in trade Under this act
any citizen of any county in Georgia
can put an end TO the Illegal sale OF

BACON MAY FORCE
ROOSEVELT'S HAND

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Ba-
con today introduced a-sresolution in
curing into the right of executive de-
partments to withhold information and
documents from the senate.
Resolution is the result of President
Roosevelt's recent message declining to
allow the attorney general to furnish
steel merger The president gratuitously
informed the senate that an act of con-
gress is necessary to give direction to
the head of a department;
Immediately after the Introduction of
resolution Senator Bacon. addressed the
senate on the subject. He declared that
the question was of far-reaehing conse,
quence. affecting not only the dignity
but the constitutional authority of the
senate to perform his functions. He stated
that he proposed not to rely so much
have said.
Criticizes Roosevelt
Complaining that the language of the
president in his steel corporation mes
sage had not been distinguished by it's
extreme courtesy, Mr. Bacon proceeded.
This is the first time that the denial
of the right of the senate has ever been
made in such unlimited and emphatic
language as that now employed by the
PRESIDENT" efs Laps1J~us --les.,s2 Is.
Senator Hale expressed the opinion that
the president had not taken. a square
ground upon the right of congress to di-
rect the transmission of papers by the
heads of departments EA

Mr.. Bacon said that the president did

sons for its inquories, but that he had
said that the heads of executive depart
ments were subject to the constitution,
to the laws passed by congress and to the
direction of the president Of the United
States and to no other direction what
ever" SKI -rv
That" said Mr.. Bacon, 'is as broad
as human language can make IT,"
Does the senator think from that Ian
guage that the president committed him.
self to the proposition that congress can
not call upon the head OF a department
for information and for papers and docu-
ments in a Department. inquired Senator
Hale, who added.
IT hope the president has not commit
ted himself to that proposition"
"I understand that the language" said
Mr. Bacon, plainly implies that the pres
ident recognizes but three authorities by
which the direction may be exercised
over the head of an executive depart
ment"
Challenged by Hopkins
Senator Hopkins challenged Mr.. Ba-
cons contention, on the ground that not
congress, but the senate alone recently
asked for the information regarding the
action Of the attorney general and Mr..
Lodge asked whether congress. In the
judgment OF the senator from Georgia,
has a right to demand papers from the
state department?

This Is the land comprising over two

at one time contemplated purchasing at
$3.50 an acre about 400 acres for him

The attorney general was not able TO

been brought against the Southern Ore

il he could not at once call up some
clerk and ascertain what had been done
in the case.
After some delay with Mr.. Tillman
