COMMUNICATION IN
REGARD TO SECRET SER
VICE OPENLY DERIpED.
CR|GCS OFFERS SNUB
MESSAGE FINALLY REFERRED TO
PREVIOUSLY APPOINTED
SPECIAL COMMITTEE.

Washington-Another message from
the President was laughed at in the
house today.
| Some of the members were openly
ierisIve as the communication on the
secret service was read, and as
crowning snub Representative Griggs
of Georgia moved as an amendment
that the message be returned to the
President
| The message, which had been await
ed with much interest, was reply to
the houses resolution calling on the
executive to explain the intimation n
his annual message that members Of
Congress were afraid to be investigat-
I'd by the secret service. The galleries
we're packed.
! Promptly at noon Latta, one of the
Presidents secretaries, was at the
main door of the chamber bearing the
message which was read as soon as
the Italian relief measure was put
through.
The Presidents specific reference to
certain speeches by Tawney, Minneso-
ia; Smith, Iowa: Sherley, Kentucky,
and Fitzgerald. New York, when the
provision for the restriction Of the op-
erations of the secret service was up
tor discussion and also to Busby, the
Ipeaker's private secretary, caused
storm Of laughter. The speaker sew
'ral times vigorously raped for order.
In commenting on the Presidents
'eference to him in the message, Busby
,aid:
II am an employe of the House of
representatives 1t would not be ap-
,ropriate for me in any way to MAKE
my comment on the matter now before
he house. l will say, however, that
he article quoting the Chicago Inter
ocean in the Presidents message. was
prepared in the regular course of work
as newspaper correspondent when l
was the representative OF the Inter
Ocean.
ut was one OF a series Of feature
stories written In the summer and
early fall of 1903 subject to the edtor's
discretion as to when 1t should be pub
hshed. 1t was published five years
ago.
mo member of Congress inspired it,
nor was any member of Congress con-
suited about it. No opinion of any
member was embodied in it, and no
one is in the slightest degree respons-
ible for 1t except the editor of the
1nter-Ocean and myself. l doubt if a
dozen members of Congress ever saw
the article or heard of it until today"
| AS the reading of the message pro-
ceeded many of the members chuck
led, others laughed outright, while
some were prone to joke with their
neighbors
When the reading ended Perkins of
New York. chairman of the special
committee which originally considered
the matter. moved that the message
be referred to that committee.
"Is an amendment in order to that
notion" inquired Griggs Of Georgia
in deliberate voice.
ut is" replied the speaker.
Then" said Griggs, II move that
this message be returned to the Presi-
dent"
"Oh, no." shouted several OF Griggs
Democratic colleagues.
Perkins insisted that the message
should go to the special committee and
in the meantime Griggs withdrew his
motion, saying he took that action at
the request of his party leaders. The
message was referred as he requested.

Of Action Of solons.
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, / most earnestly ask in
the name of good government and de-
cent administration. in the name of hon
esty and for the purpose OF bringing
to Justice violators OF the federal laws
wherever they may be found. whether in
public or private life. that the action
taken by the house last year be reversed
When this action was taken, the senate
committee. under the lead of the late
Senator Allison, having before II .
strongly-worded protest from Secretary
Cortelyou like that he had sent to Mr.
Tawney, accepted the secretary's views;
and the senate passed the bill in the
shape presented by Senator Allison. In
the conference, however. the house con-
ferees insisted on the retention of the
provision they had inserted, and the
senate yielded.
1.-The chief of the secret service Is
paid salary utterly inadequate to tho
Importance of his functions and to tho
admirable way in which he has per-
formed them. earnestly urge that 1t
may be Increased to 5000 per annum. I
also urge that the secret service be
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 10 done or not, It should be ex-
piicitly provided that the secret service
can be used to detect and punish crime
wherever II is found.
