CONGRESSMEh ARE
DEEPLY TOUCHED
Refuse to Have Anything to Do
With Message Coming From
Source Not Respectful" Says
Committee In Report
Today.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. S.-Mem-
bers of the House of Representatives
today slapped back at President
Roosevelt over the secret service con-
troversy when the report of the spe-
cial committee appointed to consider
and take action on that part of the
presidents message was read. The
galleries of the House were crowded
and nearly every member was in his
seat when the report was made.
Chairman Perkins made the report,
prefac!ng II wisas-e speech in which
he condemned the presidents refer
ence in the message in the strongest
terms His speech was lengthy, and
he took occasion to score the presi-
dent time and again for his reference
to the House and Congress in his mes
sage concerning the secret service.
He then gave the report OF the COM
mittee and the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the House in the eX-
ercise of its constitutional preroga-
tive, declines TO consider any COM
munication from any source which
is not in its own judgment respect
full, and further,
Resolved, That the special commit
tee and the committee of the whole
House on the state of the Union be
discharged from any consideration of
the presidents message as relates to
the secret service and that said por
tion Of the message be laid on the
table, and be it further
Resolved, That the message of the
president, which was sent to the
House January 4, 1908, being unre-
sponsive TO the inquiry of the House,
and constituting an invasion Of the
privileges of the House by question:
ing the motives and the intelligence
OF the members in the exercise Of
their constitutional rights and func-
tions, be laid on the table.
Following the report and the intro
duction of the resolutions a number
of speeches We're made by Tawney,
Smith, Sherley and Fitzgerald. They
followed the lead OF Perkins, resent
ing what they deemed to be insinua-
tons by the president upon members
OF the committee on appropriations.

ries. 1t is expected that the first
business of the territorial legisla-
lures, after organization, will be in
favor of the immediate admission
to statehood. 1t will show that the
people are earnest and united in the
good cause, and may have a beneficial
influence on the House and the Sem

Delegate Andrews is working hard
to get all of his bills passed by the
House and Senate during the month
of January and into the hands of the
president for his signature; for after
that time the great appropriation
bills and other matters of national
Importance will occupy most of the
time of the two houses to the end Of
the present short session. Hence his
desire to get the earliest possible ac-
ton on all of his measures.
Mark Smith is taking a much need

lsborS, in his former old-time Ken
lucky home.
Delegate-elect Ralph II. Cameron,
of Arizona, has been in consultation
with President Roosevelt several
times since his arrival on matters Of
great moment to his people, and Is
making many friends among Demo-
Gratis and Republicans in both the
