OF the land frauds. the president
says: mo more striking instance can
be imagined of the desirability of
having central corps of skilled In
vestigating agents who can at any
time be assigned, IL necessary in
large numbers, to investigate some
violation of the Federal statutes. in
no matter what branch Of the public
service.
The secret service men obtained
hundreds of convictions of conspira-
tors who sold fraudulent naturalixa-
ton papers. They located in Canada
Greene and Gaynor. who were impli-
Gated in big government contract
frauds, and arrested them. They
secured many convictions in peonage
cases and in silk and opium customs
frauds. They assisted In the beef
trust investigation and located the
cotton leak in the agricultural de-
partment Their destruction Of lot
terry company netted the government
100000 in fines. In revealing the
ink contract fraud in the Bureau of
engraving and printing they saved
the government 500, 900 year. The
total expense OF the secret service
, last year was $135, eco.
Such a body as the secret SER
vice." continues the message, such
body of trained investigating
agents, occupying permanent posi-
ton in the government service, and
seperate from all local investigating
forces in different departments is an
absolute necessity If the best work is
to be done against criminals. To
provide for this ID not only the right
of congress but emphatically its duty.
To use the secret service In the inves-
tigation Of purely private or political
matters would he gross abuse. But
there has been no single instance OF
such abuse during my term as pres
ident.
II most earnestly ask, In the name
of good government and decent ad-
ministration, in the name OF honesty
and for the purpose of bringing to
justice violators of the Federal laws
wherever they may be found, wheth-
err in public or private life, that the
action taken by the house last year
be reversed.
Il also urge that the secret service
be placed where 1t properly belongs.

ment of justice, as the chief Of the

II should be explicitly provided that

found"

PRESIDENT MAKES
NO APOLOGIES
Message on Secret Service Reiter-
ares Former Utterances

WASHINGTON, Jan. president
Roosevelt's expected special message
on the Secret Service was sent to the
House today. 1t denies the statement
made in the House resolution of in
quiry that he has charged any men,
Der OF the present Congress with cor
curption or that the majority of con-
gressmen were in fear of investiga-
ton by detectives. he gives the
names of former Senators and Rep
resentatives convicted in connection
with land frauds, and reiterates the
declaration madde in his annual mes
sage that the limitation placed by
Congress on the operations of the Sc
cret service could be of benefit only
to the criminal class.
OF the work done by the secret
service, the president refers to the
land, naturalization, lottery, silk, OPP
ium, ink and other frauds. He rec
ommends that all the government de-
tective services be consolidated into
a single bureau to be attached to the
department of justice and that Chief
Wilkes salary be increased from
$4,000 to $4,000 per year.
He denies strenuously the allega-
ton made in certain quarters that he
ever used the secret service in purely
private or political matters.
Incidentally, he charges that agi-
tation against the secret service was
begun with an article written by l..
w. Busby. private secretary to Speak
er Cannon, for a Chicago newspaper.
Altogether the president presents
a strong though calm argument, that
he was exactly right in making the
criticisms that enlivened his message
at the opening of the session.
Il am wholly at loss, he says,
ito understand the concluding por-
ton of the house resolution. ] have
made no charges against congress or
against any member of the present
house. If / had proof of such cor
rUption affecting any member of the
house in any matter as to which the
federal government has jurisdiction,
action would be brought at once, as
was done in the cases of Senators
Mitchell and Burton, and Represen-
tatives Williamson, Hermann and
briggs at different times since have
been president.
"A careful reading of my message
will show that have said nothing
to warrant the statement in the
house revolution that the majority OF
the congressman we're in fear of be-
ling Investigated by the secret service
men, or that congress as a whole was
act ated by that motive.
In support of his statement that
the chief argument in favor of the
movement to restrict the secret ser
vice was alleged fear of some mem
bers of congrss that they might b'
Investigated, the president refers the
house to the report of the debate las
May on that subject, as given in thu
Congressional Record. He says re

The junior class of Stanford univer-
sity is facing the most unique situation
which has been heard of in recent years
at this university. The trouble which
looms ahead of the third year men is
the surprising lack of interest in the
big formal dance of the semester, the
Junior prom. The matter was brought
up in recent meeting of the third
year class and it was decided that a
campaign to raise "queeners" would
be started.
In pursuance of the adopted policy
Of the chaplain Of the university and
in accordance with the expressed
wish of the founders of the university
that the Sunday services here be nom
