HOUSE COMMITTEE WILL MAKE
REPORT TODAY.
MAY LAY 1T ON TABLE
Chances Are That Lively Debate
viii be in Order, Which Will Be of
a Sensational Character-Lanquaqe
of the President.

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE Perk-
ms committee will recommend tomor
row that President Roosevelts secret
service message of January 4, be laid
on the table. A similar request will
be made for the tabling of that por-
tion of the presidents annual message
relating to the secret service, on the
ground that it reflects credit upon the
integrity of the house.
The extreme course advised by the
committee, that of declining to con
slider any communication from any
source which, in the judgment of
the house, is not respectful, is likely
to create a sensation.
The report of the committee will
include the paragraph of the message
which refers to the secret service and
suggests that the reasons congress re,
stricted its use was because members
of congress themselves did not wish
to be Investigated. This will be fol
lowed by an excerpt from the message
Of January 4. After setting forth the
presidents statement that the house
had failed to understand his meaning,
the report of the special committee
will say that the language itself will
be judged according to the accepted
Interpretation of the English Ian
guage.
That the house is charged only
with its responsibility to the people
to preserve it's own dignity will be as
serted with great force and if the re-
port is adopted the house will insist,
upon its own capacity to understand
the import of the presidents Ian
guage in question was unjustified and
without basis of fact and that it con-
stituted breach of the privilege OF
the house. For that reason the special
committee will be asked to be dis
charged from further consideration OF
that portion of the presidents mes
sage, which refers to the secret SER
vice and will recommend that it, to-
gether with the subsequent message
of the president in reply to the de,
mand for an explanation be laid on
the table as being unresponsiye and
constituting an invasion of the pro
| visions of the house by questioning
the motives and Justice. of members.

DETROIT, Jan. with rumors
and stories of all sorts floating about

was found yesterday afternoon stuffed

Another man is reported as missing

TINS body, part of the jaw bone and
the false teeth are left to offer pos

fication as Rev. Carmichael was large

spectacles were found in the church.
But the sheriff said today that he
did not consider this necessarily posi-

Tuesday afternoon Browning left a
Grand Trunk train at the nearby vii

to the Methodist church in Columbus
township. He said to two different
men that he had an appointment there
with a man. No reason is known why
Rev. Carmichael should have gone to
the church, unless he had an appoint

Tuesday morning before the minis
ter left his home on the drive from
which he never returned, he had a
conversation on the depot platform at
Adair with Browning, before the latter
took the train for Port Huron. The
minister afterwards turned toward
home, hitched up his horse and start

he told Mrs. Carmichael he was going
