Special to Times-Repuhlican.
Council Bluffs, Jan. 6.-That portion
of the presidents message on the Sc
cret service which referred to the
Omaha land fraud cases and the con-
nection of Congressman Walter l.
Smith Herewith, has stirred the entire
Ninth district to a marked degree. The
politicians from all over the district
profess indignation with the presidents
use of Judge Smiths name. and news
papers friendly to the congressman are
filed with interviews defending the
course of Smith. 1t is announced from
Washington that Judge Smith will
make reply to the presidents mes
sage.
President Roosevelt's message re-
ferred specifically to the case of
Charles 4 Stewart, who is under in
,dictment in the federal court in C'ma-
ha in connection with the land frauds
in Nebraska, and has developed po-
litical sensation because it is evident
the president would not have singled
out this case unless there was some
special reason for it.
The simple facts are that Mr.. Sew
art, who is wealthy and popular
man, lives in Council Bluffs. The rep
resentative in congress, Walter L.
Smith, was formerly Judge of a local
court over there and still known Sam-
iliarly by his judicial title.
- IN a.
preparation committee which adopted
the amendment regarding the secret
service complained of by the president
and Secretary Cortelyou. HeSwas ac-
tive in support of the amendment on
the floor of the house. and secured its
passage over the protest of the presi-
dent and secretary OF the treasury. He
with Mr.. Tawney OF Minnesota, was
one of the conferees on the part of
the house, and insisted on the amend
ment being made part Of the law
after it had been rejected by the SEN
ate.
In his original message to congress,
President Roosevelt declared that the
in question had been and
could be of no value only to criminal

submitted he cites the case of Mr..
Stewart, which was worked up by a
secret service man who has now gone
back to his original work of protecting
the president and the president-elect.
The inference apparently in the pres
ident's message is that Mr.. Stewart.
now under indictment in Omaha but
living in Council Bluffs, was one of
those who was benefited by the amend
ment in question. The inference drawn
is that as Stewart lived in Iowa, he
brought social and political infl,ls~ce
to bear upon his congressman, who in
turn thru his position on the appropri-
alton committee co-operated with Mr..
Tawney to secure the passage of an
