Presidents Message Regarding
Secret Service Matter
Excited HiIarity Among the
Members of the House.
WOULD SEND 1T BACK.
Griggs of Georgia Made a Motion
to That Effect.
Withdrew 1t and
Document Was Referred.

| Washington, Jan. 4.-UHusual at
tention was paid in the house of rep
resentatives today to the reading of E
message from the president replying
to a resolution of that body, calling on
him for an explanation of the intima-
ton of his annual message that mem
bers of congress were afraid to be in
vestigated by the secret service. The
galleries were packed.
Promptly at noon Mr. Latta, one OF
the presidents secretaries, was at the
main door of the chamber bearing the
message which was read as soon as
the Italian relief measure was put
through.
The presidents specific references to
certain speeches by Messrs. Tawney,
Minnesota, Smith, Iowa, Sherley, Ken
lucky and Fitzgerald, New York, when
the provision for the restriction of the
operations of the secret service was up
for discussion and also to Mr.. Busby,
the speakers secretary, called a storm
of laughter. The speaker several
times vigorously raped for order.
In commenting on the presidents
reference to him in the message Mr..
Busby said:
81 am an employee of the house of
representatives. 1t would not be APP
propriate for me in any way to make
any comment-on the matter now be-
fore the house. I will say however,
that the article quoting the Chicago
Inter Ocean in the presidents message
was prepared in the regular course of
work as a newspaper correspondent
when / was the representative of the
Inter Ocean. 1t was one of a series
of feature stories written in the; SUM
mer and early fall of 1908, subject to
the editors discretion as to when it
should be published. 1t was publish
ed five years ago. No member of
congress inspired it, nor was any
member of congress consulted about
embodied in it, and no one is in the
slightest degree responsible for it ex-
cept the editor of the Inter Ocean and
myself. 1 doubt if a dozen members
of the congress ever saw the article
or heard of it until today
AS the reading of the message pro-
ceeded many of the members chuckled,
others laughed outright while some
were prone to joke with their neigh
bors.
When the reading had been concluded
Mr.. Perkins of New York. chairman of
the special committee, which originally
considered the matter. moved that the
message be referred to that committee.

that action at the request of his party
leaders. N-t
The message was referred.
