 Tt is the contention of the executive branch of the government that it should be permitted to use the best means of in- vestgatng criminal cases, and when leg islation is enacted that deprives the ex- ecutive branch of a particularly desir- able and effective investigation force, the governments interests, which are the in terests of the people, are injured, and the only gathers are the evildoers who may thereby escape detection and punishment.
 'The question is, is it right or wise or proper specifically to discriminate against one particular division of the govern ment's Investigating forces and prevents its employment where it might be used to great advantage. It is an evasion of the question to answer that in one particular and circumscribed field-suppressing coun- terfeiting and protecting the President it's activities are not affected by the linn itation.
 "If the government Is to act with full efficiency against criminals it must have some force of secret service agents, by preference under the department of jus tice, who can act against criminals any where; and the position of the admins tration is that it is against sound policy to discriminate in favor of the criminals by discriminating aganst the use of the secret servce to detect and punish them.

Traclnu of the Relic.

New Orleans, February 3.-When in formed by an Associated Press representa- tive of the statement of Capt. w. G. Raoul of Atlanta with reference to the death mask of Napoleon. Mayor Martin Behrman of New Orleans expressed his qualification at the receipt Of the knowl- edge of the wherea bouts of the cast and said he would communicate with Captain Raoul tomorrow.
 A few days ago lady of New Orleans called on Mayor Behrman and stated that she believed she co2ld trace the cast from the time of its removal from the city hall here in the early 70 to it's pres ent location. It is stated that she in- formed the mayor that the cast was in Atlanta, but just how much farther her information went is not known. The mayor said tonight, after declaring his pleasure at the news given him and ex- pressing his intention to write to Captain Raoul in the morning, that he could say nothing more about the matter until he had heard from Captain Raoul.
 The cast was presented to the city of New Orleans in 1884 by pr. Antommarchi who was the medical attendant of Na- poleon during the latter's Imprisonment on St. Helena. It was deposited in the old Cabldo with much ceremony, and here it remained for over 30 years until it was transferred to the city hall upon the consolidating of the former munich palities. It's mysterious disappearance from the latter place has long been a matter of speculation.

ROOSEVELT ON THE
 SECRET SERVICE Opposition Is Announced To Any Restriction of Field TRAINED MEN ARE NEEDED Limitations Tie the Hands of Secretary of the Treasury When He Wants
 Secret Service Work
 Done.
TRAINED MEN ARE NEEDED

Washington, February 3.-Declaring that If the government is to act with full efficiency against criminals, it must have some force of secret service agents who can act against criminals anywhere President Roosevelt in a statement made public from the White House tonight emphatically reiterated his opposition to restricting the field of usefulness of the secret service.
 The position of the administration is,' said the President, that it is against sound public policy to discriminate in favor of criminals by discriminating against the use of the secret service to detect and punish them-''
 The statement was called forth by ''mis- the afternoon papers," to the effect that the work of the secret service has not been hampered and that the investigation of cases outside of the detection of counterfeiters and the protection of the President has not been circumscribed by restrictive legislation at the last session of Congress.
 lue coillplele leAl Ol lie SldtciileIlI IS as follows:
 At time has the President or any administrative officer claimed that the re- strictive legislation of the last session af- fected the secret service department of the treasury department in the matter of suppressing counterfeiters or protecting the President.
 AS a matter of fact the limitation did not apply in the slightest degree to the normal functions of that service and the claim that the secret service was not hampered in looking after counterfeiters Is admitted, but the assertion that the re- striction was harmless to the govern ment's interests is not correct.
 "'The effect of the limitation was ma terially to circumscribe the field of use- fulness in which the trained agents of the secret service have hitherto been ad- vantageously employed Under the limi- tation it became impossible to use these investigators in the class of cases in which they have been conspicuously suc-. cessfnl for many years. The phraseology of the restrictive legislation Is such that any person who was employed in or under the secret service division during 1909 Tor even so short period IS an hour became disqualified for promotion or em- ployment in any branch of the govern ment service where either his compensa- tion or expenses would be payable from an appropriation of the sundry civil act.

SEVERE ATTACK ON
 FOREST SERVICE

Washington, February 3-A severe att tack on the forestry service of the de- partment of agriculture was made in the House today by MT. Mondell of Wyo- ming. He denounced it as the most auto cratic bureau of government outside of Russia. The Wyoming representative re- called the action of Congress last year in an effort to oust the alleged press agents maintained by the bureau. He said the attempt had resulted in failure, and I notice that next year, continued MT Mondell, "the forests are to be pro- tected, water flow regulated and resources conserved by the purchase of $S4624 worth of typewriters, s16OO0 worth of paper, s22,- 000 worth of envelopes and $7000 for card indexes" He ridiculed the appropriation of Sl0000 for the purchase of compasses saying it is joke in the west that the eastern college-made foresters must have guides when they enter forest Hope was expressed that the employees will use the $6000 appropriation for field glasses to see at least the home-seeker hitherto unnotced'

Madison Wis. February 3.-That there will be no election of United States senator to succeed Isaac Stephenson be- fore an investigation of the senatorial primary election has taken place seems certain. With both branches of the legis- lature unable to agree on the terms of a resolution pointing to that end, motions for conference committees of three mem- bers each were agreed to in the assembly and the senate today and it is for the joint committees to arrive at some agreement in the line of an investigation satisfac- tory to both houses before the investiga- tion will begin.
 Senator Stephenson lacked four votes of reelection today when the fifth joint bal lc 'onn'eted. He received but 6l out of 129 votes cast, which was fewer lii,.ii on ~ly Dallor thus far taken.

 The defense objected but the court was insstent and c. W. Mitchell was recalled and told to repeat his charge that Whit worth, after the Carmack killing, in a blacksmith shop had declared that "every damned one of the defendants should have been hanged"
 Whitworth had been brought in and was seated a few feet from the witness. The state cross-examined Mitchell close ly but failed to shake him. The news that the Whitworth case was to be dis posed of attracted the largest crowd to the court room that has yet marked the proceeding of the case. The crowd filled the aisles and overran the bar until the court was forced to order it cleared. The transcript of other witnesses testimony was read to the juror. who was then asked for a statement.
 The state objected to any testimony concerning whether the feeling toward Governor Patterson had changed or not. The court passed the objection and asked the juror to proceed

Denial By Whitworth.

Whitworth asserted strenuousy that he had never made the remarks attributed to him by Mitchell concerning the hang ing of the defendants, but admitted he said something about Patterson having lost friends through the killing of Car mack.
 During Whitworth's statement the throngs crowded inside the bar again, whereupon the court fined the four deputy sheriffs $10 each for failing to obey orders, whereupon the orders of the court were carried out strenuously.
 Two other witnesses who were in the blacksmith shop the day the hanging statement is alleged to have been made swore that they did not hear it. After a number of character witnesses for Mitchell were introduced the court said it would recall Juror WhitwOrth to in- terrogate him concerning his statements about Governor Patterson. but would postpone the inquiry and decision until tomorrow, to which time court adjourned.
