sums of money have been diverted
for other purposes than those desig-
mated or intended by the law. The
investigation about to be begun by
the House is intended to as
many of these abuses as possible.
Speaker Cannon named Represen-
tatives Olmstead, of Pennsylvania,
chairman; Currier, of New Hamp-
shire; Young, of Michigan; Brantley,
of Georgia, and Bowers, of Missis-
sippi, as members of the special COM
mittee authorized by the Tawney res
OlutiOn to investigate the various
branches of the Government Secret
Service. Messrs. Brantley and Bow
ers r Democrats. Mr.. Bowers is
a member Of the Appropriations Com
mittee.
AS the result of the passage of sew
eral laws in the last few years, with
other reasons, the number of men en-
plOyed to discover violations of stat
utes has increased nearly twentyfold
within a decade. According to Mr..
Tawney. the number of these men on
the Federal roll just prior to the
Spanish War was less than 200; to-
day it exceeds 5000, and the appro-
priations for their maintenance have
jumped from a little Ver 100000
to or eight times that amount.
This is aside from other expenditures.
Some of the large items contained
in the current appropriation act, that
is, those that were passed last winter,
were shown by Mr.. Tawney and MI.
Smith, another member of the AD-
preparations Committee. They are as
follows:
For the detection of violations of
the postal laws, S1,105,0 600.
For the detection of violations of
the internal revenue laws, $1o5,000.
For the detection of frauds on the
customs, 100000.
For the detection of couuterfeiters,
$115,O0O.
For Investigations by the Bureau
of Corporations, $4,000.
For special agents and inspectors
in the enforcement of the Interstate
! Commerce act, $450,000.
For the detection and prevention
of depredations on publiclands, $780,
600.
For the investigation of Antitrust
law violations, s25O,000.
For special agents for the Pension
Bureau. $3SO,000.
For the enforcement of the Meat
Inspection law Congress appropriated
$4,000, 900, the bulk of which is said
to have been expended for inspection
| services. 3d.,
Similarly a large Fart Of an appro-
priation of $4,000 for the enforce
ment of the Pure Food act. it is as
serted, is paid out for inspectors. A
sum approaching $1,000 900 annual
ly is said to be expended for the en-
forcement of the immigration and
Chinese exclusion laws.
All this. is aside from ~appropria-
tons for the collection of evidences IN
the ordinary litigation which occu-
pies the time of the Department OF
Justice, including The pay of United
States m%arshals, special attorneys and
experts of various kinds. 1t readily
can be seen that with appropriations
made in lump form, such as the fore
going, it is difficult to ~segregate the
amounts paid out for actual work oil
detection of all kinds. and it is this
among other things, that the invests
| cation is expected to disclose.

Washington, D. C.-The Senate
Committee On Appropriations, which
IS carrying out the Senate's instruc-
lions to investigate the operations of
the Secret Service and other detective
bodies employed under the Admins
tration, already has obtained Suffi-
Client Information to show that in the
last year sums of money a~ggregatinS
about S20,000,00 have been eZpend-
ed in secret investigation under the
direction of the President. This
knowledge will be used by the Senate
committees subcommittee of inquiry
as the basis for a rigid examination
into the uses to which such a vast
amount OF money has been put. Much
of the money expended was not ap-
propriated specifically for making in
vestigations of a secret character, but
was taken from lump sums placed at
the disposal of the Executive to meet
contingent expenses. .
The criticism of the lavish way in
which Government funds have been
used for purposes of investigation is
becoming very pronounced among
Senators and Representatives, and
they think 1t is about time to call u
halt. Where all the $40, 900 was
spent is a source of wonder at the
Capitol.
In spite of reports to the contrary
II Is denied that there is any real
basis fer the belief that in undertake
ing to investigate the workings of the
Governments secret agencies the Sen
ate and House are making a first step
in the direction of causing trouble for
the President. The purpose of these
inquiries, il is asserted, is to ascer-
tain and prevent further abuses by
the Executive and not to place obsta-
cles in the way of the President in
performing his legitimate constitu-
tional and legal functions.
There is good reason to believe that
the Senate investigation will result
in an effort to define in unmistakabie
terms the relations between the Ex-
e~cutive and the legislative branches of
the Government and to~make clear
that moneys appropriated by Con-
gress shall be used only for the pur-
poses for which they were specifically
appropriated.
THE enormous ramifications of the
system of Federal espionage which
has grown up largely under the Ad-
m~inistration, extending even to the
domestic affairs of citizens" are
shown by figures quoted by Represen-
tative Tawney, of Minnesota, chair
man of the House Committee on APP
preparations.
During the last session of Congress
the Administration, which is now
complaining because 500 was
taken off the usual appropriation for
the Secret Service division of the
Treasury Department, called for very
large appropriations for other secret
Investigations, and these %appropria-
lions were actually made by Congress-
The several amounts reached THE
enormous total of $S,126,000.
While it is only fair to say that q
part of, this large sum was not ex-
pended for Investigations essentially
secret in character an enormous
amount was intended to further the
secret police and investigation work
of the Government; the rest was fol
various inspection work.
Representative Tawney and other
members OF the House Committee or
Appropriations declared that large

HOW BIRDS KILLED A SNAKE.
Contest in Which Reptile Had Small
Chance For His Life.

Chance For His Life.
Ed Neal and his sister, Miss Jessie
Neal, of Alma, tell a strange story
and vouch for the truth Of it. They
had been spending the last month
with their father, Younger Neal, at
their old home in the country near
Alma, and one DAY last week they
were out driving when they saw in
the road in front of them a large
snake of the kind known as coach
whip.
Stopping the horse in order to kill
the snake they discovered that a pair
of mockingbirds were flying at and
striking the reptile with their beaks,
first from n side of the road and
then from the other. They watched
the battle, as they call it, for some
thing like half an hour, when the
snake entirely ceased to attempt to
avoid the angry onslaushts of the
enraged songsters.
Ed Neal got out of the buggy and
going to the scene of conflict found
that the snakes head was almost sew
cred from it's body. The neck just
back Of its head was cut down to the
skin on its throat, and when he picked
it up the head fell down limp. The
snake was dead. 1t measured five
and one-half feet and seemingly had
just swallowed a half grown rabbit,
which was in the stomach undigested.
