N the government is to act with full

agents who can act against criminals
anywhere" President Roosevelt. in a
statement made public from the White
House. smphatically reiterated his op-
position TO restricting the field OF use

The position Of tn administration

eliminating against the use OF the Sc
cret service to detect and punish
them"
The statement was called forth by
misleading statements appearing in
some Of the afternoon papers" to the
efrect that the work of the secret ser
vice mas aot been hampered and that
the investigation OF cases outside the
detection Of counterfeiters and the
protection of the president has not
been circumscribed by restrictive
legislation at the last session Of con
gress. The president in part said:
Under the Limitation it became i'm
possible to use these investigators in
the class of cases in which they have
been conspicuously successful for
many years. The phraseology Of the
restrictive legislation is such that any
person who was employed in or under
the secret service division during 1903
for even so short a period as an hour
became disqualified for promotion OF
employment in any branch Of the gov
eminent service whore either his com
pensation or expenses would be pay
able from any appropriation in the
sundry civil act
The limitations tied the hands OF
the secretary OF the treasury and made

employment Of these men in any cases

law forbidding the burning of soft
coal in the capitol. Because Of the
distant location of the new power
plant 1t will be possible to use soft
coal with modern smoke consumers
and save about $3.50 a ton.
Another practical advantage in
taking the heating apparatus out OF
the capitol building itself is that It
will remove the constant heavy pres
sure and throbbing OF heavy engines
on the su5-walls of the building. 1t
Will also provide much needed space
for the storage of documents and for
use as folding rooms.
An aesthetic advantage Is found in
the fact that AL dirt and noise will
be done away with and the existing
practice of hauling. each year. thou
sands of tons of coal and thousands
of cords of wood up to the front en-
trance of the capitol will be discon-
tinued.

there are six separate isolated plants
to run which it costs for the services
of employees about 100000 per an
mum. 1t is estimated that when the
central plant is in full swing, the
cost of running it and the wages of
persons retained at the Isolated
plants will not exceed s65, 900. There
is another item of economy in the
matter of coal. It has cost 500, 600
a year to buy coal TO heat the capitol,
the Office buildings and the congress
sional library. 1t is estimated that
this enormous bill can be cut in two.
One reason for this difference is that
congress many years ago passed a
