CAN Do WITHOUT
SECRET SERVICE
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TESTIFY
LIMITATION OF OPERATORS
DOES NOT AFFECT THEM.
INCLUDES RATE COMMISSION.
Interstate Body, Commerce and Labor,
Revenue Agents and Treasury De-
partments in the List.
PRESENT PLAN is SATISFACTORY.

WASHINGTON, ID, c., Feb. 15.--Re-
sponsible officials connected with the
detection of crime i'll four different
branches of the government have lust
testified in substance that the limitation
on the use of the secret service operators
of the treasury department has not been
injurious to their respective services.
They are Chairman Knapp of the inter
state commerce commissions; William l..
Soleau, disburSing clerk of the depart
ment of commerce and labor; q. w.
lrobrldge, chief of revenue agents, and
Assistant Secretary James b. Reynolds,
OF the treasury department. in charge of
the customs service.
Their testimony, taken during hearings
on the sundry civil appropriation bill,
was made public today by the House
committee on appropriations, With the
testimony of Secretary Garfield of the
interior department and of Attorney
General Bonaparte, it is relied upon by
the committee to refutc the claim that
the limitation placed last year on the Sc
cret service of the treasury department.
has worked to the interest of the Grim
inal classes.
All Are Satisfied
All who were examined on the subject
disapprovcd of the suggestion of cen
trail detective bureau and all expressed
satisfaction with existing conditions.
None could recall demand for secret
service operative of the treasury depart
ment during last year.
Chairman Knapp explained that in
the interstate commerce commission are
few men, employed to get information
about possible intractiOns of the law
He added that the commission had never
used treasury department secret scrv-
ice man for any purpose,
Assistant Secretary Reynolds de
scribed the force of special agents and
confidential agents, engaged in detect
ing fraud upon the customs revenues
Since he came into office in 1903. he
said. there had been only TWO or three
instances where the secret service Livi-
sion had been called upon for assistance
I'VE used a secret service man once
to watch Il man who had been convicted
of assisting in silk frauds in New York
while his case was being taken up to
the circuit court, but unfortunately the
man got away" Mr.. Reynolds told the
committee. During the last year, he
said, his department had had no
reason To desire the detail of any secret
service men.

As We talk with young children. we

generally thought that the child uoc"S

there was no hope for Il child of immoral
or diseased parents. and that the child
who was blessed with healthy. upright
parents must turn out all right. Iroyid-

environment. For environment WAS con.
sdcrcd the other determining factor of

OF late years scientific opinion has
vccrrd around 10 the conclusion that cdu-
cation, rather than hcridity or environ
mont is the determining force in human
development. The other theory broke
down because weak men too often came
from strong parents. heroes too often
emerged from the Stun, and moral de.
generates too often brought disgrace
upon pious parents and clean, refined
homes. What kind of a man the child
is 10 become largely depends upon his

bake them and serve them with rasp-

kled over them instead of sugar. Rice
takes the place of both bread and no.
tatoes in the Chinese diet and so

ducks. are esteemed as food. The
chicken (1i) is usually eaten whole

wheat, oats, barley, rice and millet, as

stewed and eaten as a vegetable. All

the use and preparation of mushrooms
and truffles better than any other cooks,
probably, and they eat them both raw
and cooked, fresh as well as dried
The desserts of the Chinese consist
mostly of fruits preserved in heavy
syrup. Their ginger root Is well known
all over the world and the odd little
round ginger crooks, with their bamboo
handles, are familiar features or the
pantry or the supply closet. The leichee
nut is a fruit with hard exterior and
a meaty interior. It Is eaten IN guam
titles and with almost every meal.
Dwarf oranges or kumquats are also
eaten as a sort of marmalade or can

nuts. and pecans in all conditions, can

or ginger, are considered great delica-
cies. They are boiled with milk or
mixed with sugar and pine pitch to
make a sort of oriental chewing gum.

exotic favor which no other nation
achieves. There Is a curry powder
which Is fairly new on the market. and
one which is sold in Chinatown ex-
pressly for making Chinese dishes It
is stronger than the East Indian curry
and possesses a somewhat different
taste. The Chinese use this with eggs,
meats. rice. fish and vegetables.
