SECRET SERVICE
CONTROVERSY
President Roosevelt Replies Indirectly
to the Structures Of Senator
HemenWay.

Washington, Feb. 22.-President
Roosevelt yesterday added another
stirring chapter to the secret service
controversy in a vigorous and lengthy
reply to the attacks made on this
branch Of the government in the re-
cent report of Senator Hemenway OF
the Senate committee on appropria-
tions. Hemenway in his report, up
holding the limitations in his speech
Of the secret service, asserted that II
never had been the intention OF Con-
gress to build up "spy" system, and
with evident reference to this part Of
the report the president declared that
if the limitation Of the use OF the Sc.
cret service had been in force when
the sensational land frauds were un-
earthed a few years ago, Senator,
Representative and various men Of
