The Secret Service

The House of Representatives,
with the blare of trumpets and the
shoutings of heralds, announced
that it would investigate the secret
service and the base uses to which
it had been put. The affair tumbled
down into a rather tame, insjpid pro-
testation that the work of the secret
service had not been really hampered
by the restrictive legislation put
forth by the last session. And even
this has little basis as was shown by
statement from President Roose-
welt that the effect of the limitations
on the activities of the Secret Ser
vice division of the Treasury De-
partment had been materially to
circumscribe the field of usefulness
in which the trained agents Of the
Secret Service had hitherto been
employed" This, it is stated, has
been true even in the branches, of
the Treasury department itself, but
the matter does not eliminate here.
The President put the whole
matter, which has been much mis-
represented, in a nutshell, in the
! following words:
st is the contention of the execu-
tive branch of the government that
it should be permitted to use the
best means of Investigating criminal
cases; and when legislation is en-
acted that deprives the executive
branch of a particularly desirable
and effective investigating force, the
/ Government interests, which are
the interests of the people, are in
! iured, and the only gamers are the
evil-doers who may thereby escape
detection and punishment. The
question is, Is it right or wise or
proper specifically to discriminate
against any particular division of
the Government Investigating
forces and prevent its employment
where it might be used to great adj
vantage? 1t is an evasion of the
question to answer that in one par
ticular and circumscribed feld-sup-
pressing counterfeiting and protect
ing the President-its activities are
not affected by the limitation. II
the Government is to act with full
efficiency against criminals it must
have some force of Secret Service
agents, by preference under the De.
partmeut of Justice, who can act
against criminals anywhere; and
the position of the administration
is that it is against sound policy tc
discriminate in favor of criminals
by discriminating against the use O.
the Secret Service to detect anc
punish them"

Pitchers Battle Between Parker and
 Hurtt-Ended Only In Ninth.

Tuesday, at Howard college, Birming- ham college defeated Howard in the last of a series of three games. The contest was pretty one from first to last. Hurtt for Howard pitched fine game, striking out ten men and allowing three hits. Parker for Birmingham also pitched pretty game, striking out four men and allowing only two hits. It was a pretty pitchers battle up to the ninth inning In the first half of the ninth for Birming- ham Mckee struck out. Lovelady fol- lowed and beat out an infield hit Jones hit safely between first and second, ad- vancing Lovelady. Jackson came up and was hit by the pitcher. Spencer, next up, hit safely between first and second and Lovelady and Jones scored. There was nothing doing for Howard in the ninth and the game ended with the score to 0 In favor of Birmingham.

welter plate at Newmarket and since thep has given every evidence that he will be in the running in tomorrow's great event.
 Until recently Bayardo, owned by A. Farie which the American jockey Ma her, will ride, was regarded as invinci- ble, having as a two-year-old won his seven races easily; but he failed to make the improvement that was reasonably expected during the past year, and gave an inglorious display of form a short time ago at Newmarket, which sent his stock away down.
 W. Raphael's Loviers ranks third in popular favor and Lord Carnovans Valens is considered to have fair chance, al though Minoru beat both of these horses this season.
 No American stables are represented among the 15 entries, but the American contingent, which promises to be larger than usual, is enthusiastic for Sir Mar tin, while the great British crowd and the foreigners as we'll will go wild if King, according to the honored custom, should lead the winner past the stand.

Bill Says Scribes Are Sick Players Hacked and Frank Yellow With Disappointment However Enjoy Situation
 and Earnestly Pull For the Barons
BY BILL AK.

New Orleans, May 25.-(Speeial.) )-After winning three straights from Charlie Franks Pelicans the Barons are feeling trihe proud, but there is no doubt but that the most indifferent fan will confess that their elation is pardonable.
 Before the opening of the season these wise fellows down here who pose be- fore a public that is no longer gullibe as prophets and seers in things base pallic," gave the Barons no rank at all.
 One of the papers, it matters not which, for all, in their sporting departments, are alike unfair to visiting teams save when thew have roast prepared for the Pelicans, mapped out what he called handicap, in which only five of the teams were given consideration
 The three omitted were Birmingham, Little Rock and Mobile
 So since the Barons have completely shown up the Pelcans. not in one but in every department of the game the time has come for a little excusable mirth at the expense of the other fellow. The scribes are so sick that they can hardly face a member of our team The Pel- jeans like hacked roosters, trail around with feathers sweeping the earth Charlie Frank is yellow with disappointment and rage.
 And the fans
 Well, every afternoon the appearance of the Barons has called for a boisterous outbreak from the bleachers.
 You would think it was before a home audience the Barons were playing They root for Birmingham. When the bases are full and a Baron is at the bat they stamp their feet, hammer the floor with coca-cola bottles whistle and scream with delight
 And they hiss the Pelicans. The Peli- cans are characterized as "dubs," as dummies, as ..bums' as 'tramps," and as everything else which is not eompli- mentary, and which is seldom referred to in polite society.
 But the roasting of the Pelicans is without justice. True, they are a little sleepy, and are not playing the game with their hearts. And 1t is true that there are rumors of soreness and internal dis sention. But as a whole Franks bunch of broken-down veterans, who starred a number of years ago, has done fairly well against the Barons. It was simply a case of having been outclassed in the three games played against Birmingham.
 You can take it in every department and the Barons have shown the Pelcans a clean pair of heels. 1t required Manuel
