when you set foot on the deck of a
man-o'-war, whether at home or in
foreign waters, your own nation or

ANSWER TO The HOUSE
Special Message on Use Of
Secret Service Men.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Replying to
the resolution of the house OF repre-
s%entatives asking the president to ex-
plain the references to the secret
service in his recent annual message
Mr.. Roosevelt sent a special commu-
nication 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 the
secret service men in cases other than
those of counterfeiting ("and one or
two other matters which can be dis
| ~regarded"), is intended to cast a slur
upon them.
The language which the representa-
tiyes wanted explained is as follows:
"The amendment in question oper-
ates only to the advantage Of the
criminal, of the wrongdoer. The chief
| argument in favor of the provision
/ was that the congressman did not
| themselves wish to be investigated
by secret service men. A special eX-
ception 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
criminals by the executive branch of
the government
The special message declares that,
Notwithstanding the umbrage taken
by congress at this wording, "a care
full reading of this message will show
that | said nothing to warrant the
statement that the majority of the
congressman were in fear of being
investigated by the secret service
men or that congress as a whole
was actuated by that motive
Denies Making Statement.
81 did not make any such statement
never made any such statement about
congress as a whole nor, with a few
inevitable exceptions, about the mem
bers OF congress in any message or
article of speech. On the contrary,
have always not only deprecated, but
vigorously resented, the practice OF
indiscriminate attack upon congress
and indiscriminate condemnation OF
all congressman, wise and unwise, fit
and unfit, good and bad alike"
MIR. Roosevelt declares the evidence
that members of congress did not
wish themselves investigated by secre,
service men is found in the debates
recorded in the Congressional Record
He denounces as wholly unfounded a
newspaper story 20 the effect that he
wishes to make Chief Wilkie of the
secret service Il second Fouche, mod.
eled after the notorious chief of DO
lice of Napoleon.
The real Issue, says Mr.. Roosevelt
is, Does congress desire that the
the most efficient instrument for the
detection of criminals and the proven
ton 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 fed
eral laws.
A letter from the president te
Speaker Cannon protesting against
the cutting down of the appropriation
for the secret service, two letters
from Secretary Cortelyou on the same
subject and the newspaper article al
ready mentioned are appended to the
message.

PRISONER GETS OUT OF JAIL
During Raging Storm He Cuts Throug
Walls and Escapes.

While a storm ragged outside, Frank
Bridges, who was recently held to the
district court for trial on complaint
of his fourteen-year-old daughter,
made his escape from the Cavalier
county Jail at Langdon. Bridges used
one of the iron bars which held the
ceiling radiator in place, as a hammer,
and part of a wrench as a punch, in
making a hole in the wall large
enough to crawl through. Three other
prisoners confined in the Jail preferred
to remain and face the court rather
than the storm. Bridges had with
him about $25 in cash.

As the result of. the passage of sey-
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 decade. According to Mr..
Tawney, the number of these men ON
the Federal roll just prior to the
Spanish War was less than zoo; TO-
day 1t exceeds 5000. and the appro-
priations for their maintenance have
jumped from little over 81. 00O, 900
to seven 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 Mr..
Smith, another member of the App
preparations Committee. They are as
follows
For the DISSECTION Of violations3of
the postal laws, 81 los, 900.
For the detection of violations of
the internal revenue laws. $125, 900.
For the detection of frauds on the
customs. 100000.
For the detection Of counterfeiters.
$115,000.
For Investigations by the Bureau
of Corporations, $175,0
For special agents and inspectors
in the enforcement of the Interstate
Commerce act, $3.50, 600.
For the detection and prevention
900.
For the investigation of Antitrust
law violations, $3.50, 600.
For special agents for the Pension
Bureau, $380,O00.
inspection law Congress appropriated
$4,000. 900, the bulk OF which is said
to have been expended for inspection
services.
Similarly a large part 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 81, 200. 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-
tions for the collection of evidence tx
the ordinary litigation which occu
pies the time of the Department OF
Justice, including The pay Of United
States marshals, special attorneys and
experts of various kinds. It readily
can be seen that with appropriations
