Washington Jan. As had been
expected, the members of the House
were the recipients of a special large
message concerning the secret serv-
See and an answer to the resolution
adopted by the House that President
Roosevelt give proof of his assertion
that members of Congress limited the
work of the secret service because
they feared investigations of them
selves. The president in his message
stated that the House misquoted him
but reiterated his statements that the
House is afraid of being investigated.
His message follows:
To the House of Representatives:
| have received the resolution of
the House of Representatives of De-
cember Il, 1908, running as follows:
Whereas. there was contained in
the sundry civil appropriation bill
which passed Congress at its last ses-
sion and became a law, a provision
ia reference to the employment of the
secret service in the treasury depart
nent; and
Whereas, in the last annual mes
sage of the president of the United
States TO the two Houses of Congress
IL was stated in reference to that pro-
vision: 1T Is not to much to say that
this amendment has been of benefit
only, and could be of benefit only, to
the criminal classes and II was
turther stated. The chief argument
in favor of the provision was that the
congressman did not themselves wish
TO he investigated by secret service
men, and it was further stated:
But if this is not considered desirable
a special exception could be made in
the law, prohibiting the use OF the Sc
cret service force in investigating
members of congress. 1t would be far
better to do this than to do what act
uslly was done. and strive to prevent
or at least hamper effective action
against criminals by the executive
branch of the government; and
Whereas your committee appointed
to consider these statements of the
Bresident and to report to the House
cannot find in the hearings before
committees nor in the records of the
House or Senate any justification Of
this impeachment of the honor and
integrity Of the Congress; and
Whereas your committee would
prefer in order to make an intelligent
aAd comprehensive report, just to the
president as well as to the Congress,
10 have all the information which the
president may have to communicate;
new, therefore.
"Be it resolved, That the president
be requested to transmit to the House
any evidence upon which he based his
statements that the chief argument
Ia favor of the provision was that the
esngressmen did not themselves wish
to be investigated by secret service
aen and also to transmit to the
House any evidence connecting any

Fresh food and medicine supplies

The suffering from exposure and

from the carriers and eaten. Men
