PRESIDENT ANSWERS
HOUSE RESOLUTION
Sends Special Message on Use
Of Secret Service Men.

Replying to the resolution of the
house of representatives asking the
president to explain the references to
the secret service in his recent annual
message, Mr.. Roosevelt sent a special
communication to the house.
He declares that the representatives
are wholly unjustified in assuming that
the language of the message, which
commented on the prohibition placed
by congress on the use of secret Serv-
ice men in cases other than, those of
counterfeiting C'and one or two other
matters which can be disregarded'' ], is
intended to cast slur upon them.
The language which the representa-
tives wanted explained is as follows:
THE amendment in question Oper-
ates only to the advantage of the Grim
inal, of the wrongdoer. The chief ar
gument in favor of the provision was
that the congressman did not them
selves wish to be investigated by Sc
cret service men. A special excep-
ton could be made in the law pro-
hibiting the use of the secret service
force in Investigating members of the
congress. 1t would be far better to do
this than to do what actually was done
and strive to prevent or at least to
hamper effective action against Grim
inals by the executive branch OF the
government
The special message declares that,
notwithstanding the umbrage taken BY
congress at this wording, "a careful
reading of this message will show that
I said nothing to warrant the state
ment that the majority of the con
gressmen were in fear of being in
vestigated by the secret service men
or that congress as a whole was actu-
ated by that motive. did not make
any such statement in this message.
Moreover, / have never made any such
statement about congress as whole
nor, with few inevitable exceptions,
about the members of congress in any
message or article or speech. On the
contrary, | have always not only dep
recated. but vigorously resented, the
practice of indiscriminate condemna-
ton of ali congressman, wise and un-
wise, fit and unfit, good and bad alike.
Mr.. Roosevelt declares the evidence
that members of congress did not wish
themselves investigated by secret
service men is found in the debates
recorded in the Congressional Record.
He denounces as wholly unfounded a
newspaper story to the effect that he
wishes to make Chief Wilkie of the
secret service a second Fouche, model
ed after the notorious chief of police
of Napoleon.
The real issue, says Mr.. Roosevelt
is, Does congress desire that the gov
eminent shall have at its disposal the
most efficient instrument for the detec-
ton of criminals and the prevention
and punishment of crime, or does it
not?"
He cites cases in which the secret
service has secured evidence enough
to convict Offenders against the feder-
I al laws.
A letter from the president to Speak
er Cannon protesting against the cut
ting down of the appropriation for the
secret service, two letters from Secre-
tary Cortelyou on the same subject
and the newspaper article already
mentioned are appended to the mes
sage.
