GR|GGS OFFERS SNUB
MESSAGE FINALLY REFERRED TO
PREVIOUSLY APPOINTED
SPECIAL COMMITTEE.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. message from
the President was laughed at in the
house today.
Some of the members were openly
deris.ve as the communication on the
secret service was read. and as a
crowning snub Representative Griggs
of Georgia moved as an amendment
that the message be returned to the
President.
The message, which had been await
ed with much interest, was reply to
the houses resolution calling on the
executive to explain the intimation IN
his annual message that members OF
Congress were afraid to be investigat-
ed by the secret service. The galleries
were packed.
| Promptly at noon Latta, one of the
Presidents secretaries, was at the
main door of the chamber bearing the
message which was read as soon as
| the Italian relief measure was put
through.
The Presidents specific reference to
certain speeches by Tawney, Minneso-
ia: Smith, Iowa; Sherley, Kentucky.
and Fitzgerald. New York, when the
provision for the restriction of the op-
erations of the secret service was up
for discussion and also to Busby, the
speakers private secretary, caused
storm of laughter. The speaker sew
eral times vigorously raped for order.
In commenting on the Presidents
reference to him in the message, Busby
said:
II am an employe of the House of
Representatives. 1t would not be ap-
propriate for me in any way to make
any comment on the matter now before
the house. l will say, however, that
the article quoting the Chicago Inter
Ocean in the Presidents message, was
prepared in the regular course of work
as a newspaper correspondent when |
was the representative of the Inter
Ocean.
"It was one of series of feature
stories written in the summer and
early fall of 1908 subject to the edtor's
discretion as to when it should be pub
fished. 1t was published five years
ago.
NO member of Congress inspired it,
nor was any member of Congress CON
suited about it. No opinion of any
member. was embodied in it. and no
one is in the slightest degree respons-
ible for it except the editor of the
Inter.Ocean and myself. | doubt if
dozen members of Congress ever saw
the article or heard of it until today"
AS the reading of the message pro-
ceeded many of the members chuck
led. others laughed outright, while
some were prone to joke with their
neighbors.
When the reading ended Perkins of
New York, chairman of the special
committee which originally considered
the matter, moved that the message
be referred to that committee.
rs an amendment in order to that
notion" inquired Griggs Of Georgia
in a deliberate voice.
1T is" replied the speaker.
Then" said Griggs. 81 move that
this message be returned TO the Presi-
dent
"Oh, no." shouted several of Griggs
Democratic colleagues.
Perkins insisted that the message
should go to the special committee and
in the meantime Grigss withdrew his
motion, saying he took that action at
the request of his party leaders. The
message was referred as he requested.
