them have been made public again and
again, but in view of the report of your
committee it is as well to refer to them
once more Secretary Hitchcock became
convinced that there were widespread
frauds in his department and that his
own force was unable to deal with them.
Through the department of justice he had
a number of secret service operatives as
signed to work on the interior department
cases. together with one secret service
operative who was assigned direct to the
interior department. Mr. HemenWay
speaks as il the attorney general and the
secretary of the interior had not known of
such assignments, as a matter of fact
every such assignment was made on the
written request Of the head of the de-
partment The first result of the work
IN question was to find that various de-
partmental officials had failed in their
duty and some of them were accordingly
dismissed.

holds had been in force at the time OF
which I speak, the senator. the represen-

ment L hold that such an outcome would
have been in the interest Of the criminals
only.
'Onee the emergency had passed the
need for the detail of the secret service
men no longer existed and they were ac-
cordingly Withdrawn. But this history OF
these land frauds shows conclusiyely the
need Of having some secret service BODY
subject to emergency detail to depart
ments in which it is not ordinarily EN-
ployed.
Before the secret service was USED IN
the interior department. as j nave out
lined above, the prosecutions for land
frauds were insignificant in their results.
At the time there was no effective desire
shown to limit the use Of the secret ser
vice. Then the secret service agents were
used i'm connection with these land FRAUDS
and secured the prosecution and conVlc-
ton of many men, influential because OF
their wealth or their social order political
nrou1inence Forthwith there began that
active agitation against the use OF the
secret service which continued until the

Limitation Was Real.

''The limitation of the use of the secret
service was not in the least degree tech
meal; Ii was real and actual. If such a
condition as arose in the interior depart
ment some four years ago arises again
in that department, with this limitation
we should be prevented from employing

No Spy System.

Your committee, in its report, states
that it has never been the intention of
the congress to build up a spy system,
and in the next sentence, however, ad-
vocates the building up of precisely this
spy system in the department of JUS
tice. Not only have l again and again
requested that the secret service be
placed under the department of justice.
but the chief of the secret service has
himself specifically requested on differ
ent occasions that the same course be
followed. As regards the general policy
which should be followed, therefore,
your committee has declared for the
policy, the adoption of which / have
urged. and all difficulties would be met
by providing specifically and amply for
carrying out that policy. Chief Wiikie
should be transferred to the depart
ment of justice and put at the head of
the force therein organized.
But in your report and the subse-
quent debate, direct and indirect at
taeks are made upon the secret service,
with a curious persistency and a Curl
Gus indifference to the fact that your
committee recommends that precise
ly similar secret service to the one at
tackled be now established in the de-
partment of justice and be it observed

its efficiency and has already be-
come an object of terror TO criminals.
Senator Hemenway states that there
are more than three thousand men now
in the secret service and inspection
work of the government, and that in
the last few years the number has
tTebed. and that if they were to march
through the streets of Washington they
would make an army while ii was
also stated in the same debate that at
the close of President McKinley's ad-
ministration there We're only 167 such
men OH the pay rolls, whereas it was

on that account for last year amounted
to about $4,000, 000.' These statements
are not in accordance with the facts.

| call your special attention to the fact
that if the department of. justice had
not taken this action, there would have
been a complete failure to enforce the
law against many types of criminals,
and as it was, in the early months OF
the present fiscal year during the Morse
prosecution in New York and in connec-
ton with certain important cases, seri-
Gus inconvenience and anxiety were
caused TO the prosecuting officers by
this action of congress in depriving
them of the aid Of the experienced ope-
ratives of the secret service on whom
they had been accustomed to rely. I
call your attention to the further fact
that the department of Justice had
never taken any steps to organize this
force so long as it could get men de-
tailed to il from the secret service, In
other words, the action of the congress
in regard to the secret service would
have caused gross miscarriage of JUS
tice had il not been in large part multi
fed by the prompt action of the depart
ment of Justice on its own initiative
and without any further legislation of
any kind by the congress, in providing
a species of secret service within the
department of Justice itself.

Data on Men Employed.

Il submit to YOU herewith a substan-
TALLY although not entirely accurate
statement of the number of men en-
pioyed on secret service work OF
criminal investigation work during
the year that has just passed, as COM
pared with the years 1901-02. Owing to
the very brief period which has been
given to get at these figures. it was i'm
possible to get them with entire accu-
racv, but they are not out of the way
more than a score or so in either direc-
ton. According to these figures it ap-
pears that in the neighborhood of 1900
men of this type were employed seven
years ago, and somewhat over 1900
now; that is, instead of having trebled
in number. as one of the statements
made above, instead of having in
creased nearly twenty fold in accord
anCe with the other statement, they
have increased but little over one

OUT OF MEMORIAL DAY SER
VICES, AND THE DOX-
OLOGY POSTPONED

We generally hear the Grand
Army, as a whole, spoken of as old
soldiers, and individually, about the
30th of May every man living who
fought in the civil war is an old
soldier. They are no longer young,
that goes without saying, but they
are far from being a set OF tottering
octogenarians; they are In number
less instances men engaged in busi-
nes", or on the farm, performing
their duties with all accustomed Wig
or; they hold honorable and useful
positions; they are doctors, mer-
chants, lawyers, ad not so many
years ago an odd" soldier was pres
ident of the United States.
The rising generation listen to this
half affectionate, half derisive appel
lation and are inclined with the intol
erance of youth TO honor lightly the
men who at some period of their
lives stood between their country
and death.
From the pulpit We have heard
them addressed and designated as
"old" soldiers, and from the same
source has fallen the admonitory and
consoling assurance that they have
one foot in the grave" After a SER
mon on these lines a solo will often
be sung with ominous shakings OF
the head and rolligs OF the eyes Of
the performer, depicting the death
OF some "old" soldier at the close
of a dark day in November at sold
iers' home; after this cheering ex-
cerpt the organist marches them out
TO some slow, sad ditty, and II they
don't feel like Pntting the other foot
in the grave too, II is not the fault
OF their entertainers.
