ConneH, one of the attorneys there for the same company.
Stewart is also represented in his perjury case by BIZ
Gurley of Omaha, Neb, who at one time was quite closely
connected in a political way with the U. p. R.. r. Com
pany; Stewart is also closely associated with c. B. Halle.
ton, postmaster at Council Bluffs. Harl & FINLEY and
Hazleton are all members of the same lodge. Another
close personal friend of Stewards is Ed. Hart, alias
'Waterworks' Hart, president Of the Council Bluffs
Water Company, and interested in the street railway.
Stewards father was interested in, and practically owned
and controlled, during his lifetime, a large ranch along
the .. p. r. r. in Nebraska.
Concerning this case the United States attorney at
Omaha states: There are three cases against Stewa.t;
one for fencing, one conspiracy, one perjury, all good
cases and chances Of conviction good The amendment
in question was Of benefit to no one excepting to these
criminals, and 1t seriously hampers the government in the
detection Of crime and the securing of Justice"

executive makes a tour of the country or participates
in any great public function.
1t is .this field service which makes it necessary for
every secret service man to abandon all thought OF
fixed habitation with social and family ties. He may
be ordered from New York to Texas or from the noun
tains of Tennessee to San Francisco at an hours notice,
and it is impossible to predict in advance how long he
will remain at any given place. True to its name and
policy the secret service aims to let the public know
Just as little as possible regarding its personnel. No
secret service operative allows his photograph to be
made, much less published, If he can help 1t, and he
seldom acknowledges his vocation. At the headquarters
of the secret service there is a rule against disclosing
the name or address Of any of the sleuths and in no
government publication, not even in the Blue Book"
which is supposed to list every government employe,
can there be found any roster of the secret service men
or information as to the salaries paid them.
However, 1t may be stated that the pay is not high,
considering the hardship and danger involved, and the
secret service is likely to attract only men whose love
Of a life of adventure and excitement outweighs their
desire for monetary reward. A new recruit in the
secret service starts out as an assistant operative at So
per day and, IL he proves worthy, it promoted in due
course to the rank of operative at SIS per day. AS an
operative his pay may increase TO 81 per day but the
secret service operative whose salary reaches the point
just short Of $50 per week must have proven his worth
by long service and have the experience which can be

secret service men. Very little of such
investigation has been done in the
past, but it is true that the work of
the secret service agents was partly
responsible for the Indictment and
conviction of a senator and a con
gresham for land frauds in Oregon.
81 do not believe that it is in the
public interest to protect criminals
in any branch of the public service,
and exactly as we have again and
again during the past seven years
prosecuted and convicted such crimi
nails who were in the executive branch
of the government, so in my belief We
should be given implements to prose.
cute them if found in the Legislative
branch.
But if this is not considered de.
sirable a special exception could be
made in the law prohibiting the use
of the secret service force in investi-
eating members of the congress. 1t
would be far better to do this than
to do what actually was done, and
strive to prevent Or at least to ham.
per effective action against criminals
by the executive branch Of the govern.
ment."
In a later message Mr.. Roosevelt
said: "a pending case illustrates the
ramifcations of interest with which
the government has TO deal:
Charles 7. Stewart of Council
Bluffs, was indicted at Omaha for
conspiracy to defraud the government
of the title to public lands in McPher'
son county, Neb., also indicted for
maintaining an unlawful Enclosure OF
the public lands, and also under in
dictment for perjury in connection
with final proof submitted by him on
lands filed on by him as a homestead.
In his final proof he swore that he
and his family had resided on the
lands in Mcpherson county (Which are
within his unlawful enclosure), when
as a matter of fact his family has at
all times resided in Council Bluffs,
La. He is engaged in the wholesale
grocery business, his store being To-
Gated in Omaha, in the wholesale dis
trict there. He is reputed to be quite
wealthy. Stewards attorneys are
Harl & FINLEY of Council Bluffs, Ia,
who are also the attorneys at that
place for the Omaha and Council
Bluffs Street Railway Company, in
which company Harl holds consider,

stakeholder and possibly a director of

ton with the fireless cooker with pro.
portionately greater economy in the
use Of fuel than in the use OF gas, oil
or coal, has, it is stated, been prac-
tically demonstrated in the fireless
cookers ready for the market. The
reason why the economy is greater
with electricity Is that 1t is possible to
utilize practically all the heat gener-
ated by the current. The coils are In
troduced in the radiators, and while
The temperature Is being raised the
oven Is closed to prevent the loss Of

their training with the mercantile agencies and still 9th
es have come from law Offices where certain classes Of
detective work are frequently necessary. Two of the
best men on the force were formerly heads of municipal
police departments. Others served for years in legiti-
lice departments maintained by the great railway sys-
TENS. A certain proportion have had the benefit of pre-
liminary service as United States deputy marshals and
not a few have come to the secret service from the de-
partments of public safety in foreign countries. These
latter, by reason of their knowledge of foreign tongues
and mannerisms, have been invaluable to the service.
AS may be surmised, secret service duty is preeminent-
ly work for young men. The average age of the field
operatives is under 35 years and some Of the best men
In the corps are under 80 years. Chief Wilkie, himself,
who, by the way, was one Of the bright young men
whom Lyman Gage brought from Chicago when he was
secretary of the treasury, is but 46 years Of age, and was

White eggs are usually laid by birds
nesting in holes III trees, Or IN dark
situations, like owls, woodpeckers and
some pigeons. Most birds nesting on

The portion of President Roosevelts message which evoked
the ire of congress is:
Last year an amendment was Incorporated in the measure
providing for the secret service, which provided that there
should be no detail from the secret service and no transfer
therefrom. 1t is not too much to say that this amendment has
been of benefit only, and could be of benefit only, to the Grim.
inal classes.
THE chief argument in favor of the provision was that the
congressman did not themselves wish to be investigated by

In the field that is the chief concern Of foreign secret
pollce-namely, eternal vigilance as to the plans and
ambitions OF the plotters against the worlds rulers. I'm
I'LL congress shut down upon it last year the treasury de-.
partment also used the secret service to detect smuggling
enterprises and other frauds upon the customs service
and to investigate robberies and Irregularities Of all kinds
and there have recently been some notable ones-in
branch minis, suDtreasuries, assay offices, etc. One of
President Roosevelts most bitter complaints has been
against the hampering of operations in these directions.
The headquarters of the secret service are in the
treasury building at Washington. Here. are the private
offices of the chief of the service, Mr.. John e. Wilkie.
who receives a salary of $4,000 per year, and the assist
ant CHIEF, William Herman Moran, who is paid $4,000
per year. There Is a clerical division, employing some
half a dozen men; and a large store room where con-
fiscated counterfeiting outfits, spurious coin and other
contraband seized by secret service men is deposited and
allowed to accumulate until at intervals of about a year
a committee Is appointed to superintend the destruction
OF these unlawful articles. The equipment of the secret
service headquarters embraces some interesting features
including delicate scales for weighing coin whose genuine
ness Is questioned and a "rogues' gallery" consisting of
a monster file Of photos Of counterfeiters and other Of
tenders against the law.
However, the secret service bureau at Washington is
essentially a nerve center from which are directed the
operations in the 25 districts into which the country is

The ROGUES GALLERY

dered the most important serv-
ice in securing evidence in
connection with the land fraud
cases in the west. Other secret serv-
ice men had a hand in exposing the
sensational cotton report Leak in
the department of agriculture, and so
the list might be prolonged to include
practically all the executive depart
ments of the government, not forget
ting the part played by these clever
est of plain clothes men in Investigate
ing charges against naval officers.
Because of the fact that its primary
purpose and principal function at the
outset was the trailing of counter
letters the secret service was made
a branch of the United States treas
ury department, In connection with
their shadowing Of suspected counter
letters the secret service men have
been enabled to gather much informa-
ton of the greatest value regarding
Black Hand organizations and the Oh.
erations of anarchists. Yet other in.
vestigations along these lines have re-

ambitious to shine as sleuths. A
large majority of the aspirants naive
ly confess that. they have had no
experience whatever which would fit
them for this highly specialized field.
Many of the inexperienced appli-
cants are obviously impossible but
even among those who are sufficient
ly promising to receive more than
passing consideration the proportion
Of inexperienced is overwhelming.
Indeed, of the 700 men whose ame
are now on the waiting list" of eligi-
bles at the secret service-that is
men who have complied with the
civil service regulations governing
applications for places in the secret
service-more than 600 admit that
they are totally devoid of practical
experience in this line.
With a profession which above all
others needs devotees who can bring
to it wide knowledge and thorough
training, yet with most applicants
sorely deficient in these qualifica-
tions, the question naturally sug-
gests itself: Where does the secret
service secure its agents? In reply
it may be said that upward Of a doz-
en- different callings have demon
strated their value as fields of ap-
premiership. Some Of the most ca
pable secret service operatives now
on Uncle Sans payroll have come
from the claim departments of the
