AUTHORITY Of
. LAW IS LACKING
Secret Service Division of the
Treasury Exists Because
Pay Is Provided.
HOUSE COMMITTEE REPORT
TIME TOO SHORT FOR FULL AND
COMPLETE INVESTIGATION.

J washington, March Legislation
should be enacted by congress giving a
permanent character to the secret SER
vice force of the government. accord
ing to the report of the select commit
tee of the house to investigate this
force, submitted to the house today.
The committee consisted of Represen-
tatives Olmstead of Pennsylvania, Cur
Tier of New Hampshire, Young Of Mich
igan. Brantley of Georgia and Bowers
of Mississippi. 1t was appointed to in
vestigate the amount of appropriations
devoted to secret service work and the
number OF employees engaged therein.
The report was unanimous.
Without Authority of Law.
we deem it proper says The report
ito call attention to the fact that the
secret service division of the treasury
department now exists without perma-
nent authority of law, dependent en-
tirely upon appropriations made from
year to year and that the like force in
the department of Justice is similarly
without permanent authority of law,
and is paid out of a lump sum appro-
priation for incidental expenses. Wheth-
er the separate forces of secret service
men now existing in the treasury de-
partment and I'm the department OF JUS
tice should be combined in one, under
control of the attorney general, we do
not attempt to decide, but suggest that
whether separately maintained or I'M
der one control. they should be perma-
nently provided for and their duties
clearly defined and limited by law
More Men in Services.
The total number of employees engaged
in the detection or prevention of fraud,
whether called secret service men, de-
Jectives, special agents, special inspec-
tors or by other names, in all the de-
partments combined the report says, is
found to have been just 100 more than
in 1908.
The COMMITTEES found that $3.50, EOS
had been appropriated in lump sums
which might have been, but was not,
used in detective work.
In speaking of the secret service di-
vision OF the treasury department, the
supply of men to meet the demands of
the department of justice in the past
was touched upon.
The committee finds" the report
says on this loan of men, that while
not strictly within the authorization Of
the statute, it had originated years ago
in the exigencies Of the case. Except
I'm the few instances indicated in this
report, we have found no branches of
the public service. of persons employed
therein. engaged in any duty not con-
templated by the law; but whether any
such persons have been or are engaged
in any duty not contemplated by law
the appropriation establishing or pro-
Wing for such service can be accurate
lyf ascertained only by an examination
of each person so engaged in any such
service which examination could not be
made within the life of the present con-
gress."

f'Mr. Roosevelt's courage in the express
sion of his convictions I need not dwell
upon. His real and what one might al
most describe as affectionate interest in
the welfare of the poor man; of the man,
who has great obstacles to meet and who
has the odds against him in hfe's struggle
and the sincerity of his desire to help
that class of men no one who ever had to
do with him could doubt, and his insist
ence has always been that the difficulty
between the socalled classes in the coun-
try and the failure of educated lawyers
and political economists and others to
bring about proper relations between the
weIi-to-dO and those dependent upon
wages for their living. arises from an
absence of a proper point of view on the
part of those who are leading comfort
q ble lives.

NEW PENAL CODE
FINALLY PASSED
Several Provisions Dropped
Owing to Objections of
Southern Senators.

Washington, March IA new penal
code was enacted into law today
through the adoption in both houses of
congress Of the conference report on the
bill drafted by joint commission orig
inally appointed in 1897 and reappointed
at the close of the Fifty-ninth congress.
The second commission consisted of
Senators Hepburn, Sutherland, Piles,
Clark, Clarke of Arkansas and Willard
and Representatives Moon of Pennsyl-
vania, Parsons of New York, DENLY of
Michigan, Sherley of Kentucky and
Houston of Tennessee. The bill is
comprehensive and coherent revision
and compilation of practically all the
purely penal laws.
FiIibuster Started.
For several days there has been
filibuster in the senate led by Clarke
(Ark.D against the section relating tc
the use of troops at places where gen.
eral or special elections are held. FL
nally the conferees struck out the pro-
vision relating to the keeping of peace
at the polls, because il was recognized
that federal troops are not now used
for that purpose. The conferees also
dropped all reference 10 the statute of
1875. which forbids discrimination on
dCCOuliL OF COtDE III tte SeGeCtlOn
of grand or petit Jurors, but left the
law as it was originally enacted.
The commission found it difficult to
make uniform laws that would operate
i'm all states, among these being the pro-
hibitory liquor laws. It was found that
this class of cases can only be covered
by a general statute. .
The Knox Amendment.
o. -.z-. s.--4..5.5 1--z----. ,,- A. IL :,
amendment making an act penalized by
the law of the state an Offense against
the federal government when commit
ted within the limits of the state in OF
upon any place subject to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the federal government.
The revision defines more clearly the
jurisdiction of the federal court over
cases coming under the admiralty and
maritime law; it enlarges the statute so
as to reach modern developments as TO
new methods of committing crime and
the extension of American territory; 1t
prohibits not only obscene" literature,
but filthy" literature from the mails;
it eliminates some of the so-called
"kuklux laws"
Practically the only new legislation
is that to punish leaks OF government
statistical information and the Tegula-
ton of interstate shipments of intoxi-
eating liquors. In order that any seri-
Gus error might be corrected, the bill
does not become effective until Jan. 1,
1910, enabling congress when it meets
next December to correct any serious
mistake or omission
A joint resolution was adopted con-
tinuing the commission to codify the
laws other than the criminal statute in
with the instructions to the
when originally appointed.
