"Misleadins Statements"

The statement was called forth by
misleading statements appearing in
some afternoon papers, to the effect
that the work of the secret service
has not been hampered, and that the
investigation of cases outside of the
detection of counterfeiters and protec-
tion of the President had not been cir
cumscribed by restrictive legislation
at the last session of congress.
The President declares "the asser-
ton that the restriction was harmless
to government interests is not cor
rect" and continued:
"The effect of the limitation was
materially to circumscribe the field of
usefulness in which trained agents of
the secret service had hitherto been
advantageously employed. 1t became
impossible to use these investigators
in 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 1909
for even so short a period as an hour
became disqualified for promotion or
employment in any branch of the gov
ernment service where 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

Investigation often Necessary.

1T is ,ho contention of the executive
branch of the government that it
should be permitted to use the best
means of investigating criminal cases,
and when legislation IS enacted that
deprives the executive branch of par
ticularly desirable and effective in
vestigating force, the governments in
terests, which are the interests of the
people, are injured and the only gain
ers are evldoers who may thereby es-
cape detection and punishment.
"The question is, is it right or wise
or proper specifically to discriminate
against one particular division of the
governments investigating force and
prevent its employment where it might
be used to great advantage

Judge Mcpherson said that he did not
include Attorney General Majors and
