The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-01-04

 doubt that many members of the house Tawney and Smith without having had the opportunity to know very much as to the rights and wrongs of the ques- ticn
 would not ordinarily attempt in this way to discriminate between members of the house, but as objection has been taken to my language, in which I sim ply spoke of the action of the house as whole, and as apparently there is a desire that I should thus discrim- mate I will state that I think the re- sponsibility rested on the committee on appropriations under the lead of the members whom have mentioned.
 Replies to Request For Evidence.
 Now as to the request of the con- gross that give the evidence for my statement that the chief argument in favor of the provision was that the congressman did not themselves wish to be investigated by secret service men.
 The part of the Congressional Record to which I have referred above en- tirely supports this statement. Two distinct lines of argument were fol- lowed in the debate. One concerned the question whether the law war ranted the employment of the secret service in departments other than the treasury, and this did not touch the merits of the service in the least The other line of argument went to the merits of the service, whether lawfully or unlawfully employed, and here the chief if not the only argument used was that the service should be cut down and restricted because its mem bers had "shadowe6' or investigated

greSS" who had been accused Of "con- duct unbecoming gentleman and a member of congress-" In addition to these assertions, couched as questions, he made one positive declaration that ''this secret service at one time was used for the purpose of looking into the personal conduct of member of congress" This argument of MT. Sher- ley, the only real argument as to the merits of the question made on behalf of the committee on appropriations, will be found in columns l and 2 of page 5556 and column 1 of page 5557 of the Congressional Record. In col umn of page 5556 MT. Sherley refers to the impropriety of permitting the secret service men to investigate men in the departments, officers of the army and navy and senators and con- gressmen. In column he refers to officers of the navy and members of congress. In column 1. page 5557, he refers only to members of congress. His speech puts most weight on the investigation of members of congress.
 Newspaper Article Reproduced.
 What appears in the record is filled out and explained by an article which appeared in the Chicago Inter Ocean of Jan. 8, 1904, under a Washington headline and which marked the begin ming of this agitation against the se- cret service. It was a special article of about 5000 words, written, as I was then informed and now understand, by MT. L. W. Busbey, at that time private secretary to the speaker of the house. I inclose a copy of certain extracts from the article, marked Appendix B. Appendix B consists of an article from the Chicago Inter Ocean of Jan. 8, 1904. In this John E. Wnkie, chief of the secret service of the treasury department, is described as ambitious of becoming 'the Fouche of the United States in imitation of Fouche, chief of the secret police of Napoleon I. The article declares that the secret service bureau exists without warrant of con- gressional action and that congress has always been antagonisttc to the bu-

whole letter, marked Appendix O. The postscript is blurred in my copy book, and two or three of the words cannot be deciphered-) Appendix 0 is letter dated April 30, 1908, from President Roosevelt to Speaker Can non protesting against the cutting down in the sundry civil bill of the ap- propriation for secret service work ''The only people benefited would be the very worst of the big railroad men whose misdeeds we arc trying to pre- vent or correct" were the words of the president.l These methods proved un- avaiiing to prevent the wrong. Messrs. Tawney and Smith and their fellow members on the appropriations com mittee paid no heed to the protests, and as the obnoxious provision was incorporated in the sundry civil bill 1t was impossible for me to consider or discuss it on its merits, as l should have done had it been in a separate bill. Therefore I have now taken the only method available, that of discuss ing 1t in my message to congress, and as all efforts to secure what l regard as proper treatment Of the subject without recourse to plain speaking had failed I have spoken plainly and di- rectly and have set forth the facts fin explicit terms.
 [Here the president gives instances in which the secret service men have been instrumental in securing convic- tions of offenses against federal laws, citing especially the land fraud cases.
 In connection with the Nebraska prosecution the government has by de- cree secured the return to the govern ment of over a million acres of graz ing land, in Colorado of more than 2,OOO acres of mineral land, and suits are now pending involving 15O,O0O acres more.
 Departments Agents Dishonest.
 All these Investigations in the land cases were undertaken in consequence of MT. Hitchcock, the then secretary of the interior, becoming convinced that there were extensive frauds com mitted in his department, and the ramifcations of the frauds were so farreaching that he was afraid to trust

GET BIG GAME
NEZPERCE HUNTING PARTY
HAS FAIR SUCCESS.

DR.. A. J. Cooper. Frank Billups,
and c. c. Hess returned home Sat-
urday evening from a FIVE weeks
hunting trip in the Bitter Root noun
tains. The party made their head
camp at Fish Lake, about 100 miles
east Of Nezperce, and report fairly
good luck in killing big game, also
an assortment of weather that would
satisfy the most fastidious person
hailing from the torrid zone or sur
vivor of North Pole expedition.
An elk, three deer, a bear and an
abundance of small game constitute
q list Of the specimens and the sports
men are proud Of their trophies. The
fishing at Fish Lake as usual was un-
excelled.
On their return trip the party was
showed in for three days at Old
Mans lake where the storm reached
its height. Tbs snow was from eight
inches to foot deep and while much
anxiety was felt for the horses they
fed on the twigs and paved away the
snow to get the grass. In crossing
the craigs at an elevation of 5000
feet they encountered about two feet
of snow.
Notwithstanding the hardships of
the trip the boys say they had the
time of their lives and are already
looking forward to next years out
ing.
The party secured about so kodak
views which are in the hands of the
photographer and win be on exhibi-
ton as soon as they are finished.
They say the country is filed with
N. P. and o. r. & N. surveyors and
that there are several pack trains,
using in the neighborhood of 200
pack animals, rushing in winter sup
plies. ANY Of the boys can afford
excellent entertainment relating IN
cidents of the trip.
