Message of the President
 and Reasons Therefor

The message In part:
 ITO the House of Representatives: I have received the resolution of the house of representatives of December r, 1908, running as follows:
 Whereas. there was contained in the sundry civil appropriation bill which passed congress at it's last session and be- came a law. provision in reference to the employment of the secret service in the treasury department, and
 Whereas. in the last annual message of the president of the United States to the two houses of congress it was stated in reference to that provision: 'It is not too much to say that this amendment has been of benefit only. and could be of ben eft only, to the criminal classes" and it was further stated: The chief argument in favor of the provision was that the congressmen did not themselves wish to be investigated by secret service men" and 1t was further stated: But if this is not considered desirable a special excep- ton could be made in the law, prohib- iting the use of the secret service force in Investigating members of congress It would be far better to do this than to do what actually was done, and strive to prevent or at least to hamper effective action against criminals by the executive branch of the government" and
 Whereas the plain meaning of his words is that the majority of the con greSsmen were in fear of being investi- gated by secret service men and that con gress as a whole was actuated by that motive in enacting the provision in ques- ton. Now, therefore,
 '' Be it Resolved, That the president be requested to transmit to the house any evidence upon which he based his state ments that she chief argument in favor of the provision was that the congress- men did not themselves wish to be in- vestigated by secret service men and also to transmit to the house any evi- dsnce connecting any member of the house of representatives of the Sixtieth congress with corrupt action in his official capacity. and to inform the house wheth- CT he has instituted proceedings for the punishment of any such individual by the courts or has reported any such alleged delinauencies to the house of represent atives

BIG STICK .SlNASHES: ROOSEVELT DEFENDS
 THE SECRET SERVICE
In Message to House President De- clareS His Statements in Previous Words to Congress Were Cross
 ly Misunderstood.

Washington. President Roosevelt's big stick crashed down upon the heads of Representatives Tawney of Minnesota Smith of Iowa, Sherley of Kentucky, and Fitzgerald of New York, when the executive sent a special message to the house of representatives, berating those solons for being champions of the successful move to place limitations upon the scope of the secret service.
 The president also declared that the interpretation of the house of the secret service clause in his last message was misunderstood. and had there been any evidence which would point to the neces- sty of an investigation of members, such evidence would long ago have been turned over to the proper authorities.
 The message was in answer to the res olution transmitted from the house in which the representatives asked for evil dence upon which MT. Roosevelt based his statements that the chief argument in favor of the provision was that the congressman did not themselves wish to be investigated by secret service men"

Chief Asks for Reversal
of Action of Solona.

The president then gave a number of other instances, all of which tend to point out the efficiency of the secret service, and he concludes:
 In conclusion, I most earnestly ask. iB the name of good government and de- cent administration, Tn the name of hon esty and for the purpose of bringing to justice violators of the federal laws Wherever they may be found, whether tn public or private life, that the actien taken by the house last year be reversed When this action was taken, the senate committee under the lead of the latc Senator Allison, having before it n strongly-worded protest from Secretary Cortelyou like that he had sent to MT Tawney. accepted the secretary's views and the senate passed the bill in tka shape presented by Senator Allison. Tn the conference, however. the house con ferees insisted on the retention of the provision they had inserted and the senate yielded.
 The chief of the secret service g paid salary utterly inadequate to tIte Importance Of his functions and to ths admirable way in which he has pec- formed them. I earnestly urge that II may be increased to 5000 per annun. I also urge that the secret service te placed where it properly belongs, and made a bureau in the department of justice, as the chief of the secret service has repeatedly requested: but whether this is done or not it should be ex- plicitiy provided that the secret service can be used to detect and punish crime wherever it is found
