HOUSE LAUGHS
AT MESSAGE
PRESIDENTS COMMUNICATION IN
REGARD TO SECRET SER
VICE OPENLY DERIDED.
GR|GGS OFFERS SNUB
MESSAGE FINALLY REFERRED TO
PREVIOUSLY APPOINTED
SPECIAL COMMITTEE.

Washington-Another message from
the President was laughed at in the
house today.
Some of the members were openly
derisive as the communication on the
secret service was read, and as a
browning snub Representative Griggs
OF Georgia moved as an amendment
that the message be returned to the
President
The message, which had been await
ed with much interest, was reply to
the houses resolution calling on the
executive to explain the intimation IN
his annual message that members of
Congress were afraid to be investigat-
ed by the secret service. The galleries
were packed.
Promptly at noon 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 reference to
certain speeches by Tawney, Minneso-
ia; Smith, Iowa; Sherley, Kentucky.
and Fitzgerald, New York, when the
provision for the restriction of the op-
erations of the secret service was up
for discussion and also to Busby. the
speakers private secretary. caused a
storm of laughter. The speaker sew

dozen members of Congress ever saw
the article or heard of it until today"
| AS the reading of the message pro-
ceeded many of the members chuck

some were prone to joke with their
neighbors
When the reading ended Perkins Of
New York, chairman of the special
committee which originally considered
the matter, moved that the message
| be referred TO that committee.
rs an amendment in order to that
notion" inquired Griggs of Georgia
( in deliberate voice.
1T is" replied the speaker.
Then" said Griggs. II move that
this message be returned TO the Presi-
dent"
"Oh. no." shouted several of Griggs'
/ Democratic colleagues.
/ Perkins insisted that the message
should go to the special committee and
in the meantime Griggs withdrew his
motion, saying he took that action at
/ the request of his party leaders. The
message was referred as he requested.

Regarding Restrictions Of
the Secret Service.

the secret service.
There was both by Implication and di-
rect statement the assertion that It was
the law. and ought TO be the law, that
the secret service should only be used
to suppress counterfeiting: and that the
law should be made more rigid than ever
in this respect.
incidentally ! may say that in my
Judgment there is ample legal authority
for the statement that this appropriation
law to which reference was made i'm
poses no restrictions whatever upon the
use OF the secret service men, but re-
lates solely TO the expenditure of the
money appropriated. Mr.. Tawney in the
debate stated that he had in his pos
session n letter from the secretary OF tho
treasury received 4 few days ago In
which the secretary OF the treasury him
self admits that the provisions under
which the appropriation has been made
have been violated year after year for a
number of years In his own department
l append herewith as appendix A, the let
ter referred to. II makes no such admis-
sion as that which Mr.. Tawney alleges.
1t contains on the contrary, as you will
see by reading It. an emphatic protest
against any such abridgment OF the
rights delegated to the secretary OF the
treasury by existing law and concludes
by asserting that he is quite within his
rights in thus employing the service of
these agents and that the proposed modi-
hcation which Mr.. Tawney succeeded
in carrying through would be distinctly
to the advantage OF violators OF criminal
statutes of the United States I call at
tention to the fact that in this letter OF
Secretary Cortelyou to Mr.. Tawney. as
In my letter to the speaker quoted be-
low. the explicit statement is made that
the proposed change will be for the bene-
fit OF the criminals. a statement which
i simply reiterated In public form In my
message to the congress this year, and
which is also contained In effect in the
report OF the secretary of the treasury
to the congress.
"A careful reading of the Congression-
al Record will also show that practically
the only arguments advanced In favor Of
the limitation proposed by Mr.. Tawney's
committee. beyond what may be supposed
to be contained by implication In GER
tain sentences as to abuses which were
not specified. were those contained In the
repeated statements Of Mr.. sheriey.

DUN's DoINes.

NEW YORK, April 23.-Dun will say tomorrow: Faith in the future is more pronounced than is satisfaction with immediate conditions. There is no more noteworthy feature of the trade outlook than the steadily growing con fidence that, with the tariff discussion out of the way and with the year s principal crops assured, progress to- ward full industrial prosperity will be rapid.
 Iron and steel conditions reflect 8 broader demand in some divisions, not ably in pig iron.
 There is some improvement in the volume of inquiries and with raw cot. ton at & high level, prices have been held firm in the primary cotton goods market.
 In the woolen goods division, prac- tically all clothing salesmen are now on the road and considerable dupli- cate business is already reported.
 In the hide market pronounced strength has developed in all lines and active buying has been in progress throughout the week.
 While there have been DO further sales of unusual size in. the leather mar ket, there is steady demand from small buyers and the market on the whole shows an improvement over last month. Prices firm, owing to the rap idly advancing hide market.

CHALCOPYR|TE ORE DISCOVERED IN
 GLOBE CON.
PLANS FOR FURTHER DEVELOP MENT TO BE ANNOUNCED IN
 NEAR FUTURE.

Four feet of chalcopyrite ore going F per cent copper. was the information received from the Globe Consolidated last evening, this fine showing being in the west drift on the Gem vein, 1200- foot level. About three weeks ago a new crosseut encountered the vein and the values in copper, iron and sulphur were found to be quite high; in fact, the ore was better grade of chalco- pyritc than had been struck in the Gem up to that time. There was about two feet of this good ore and lot more of concentrating orc. The vein has since been drifted on toward the west about loo feet, and the stratum of high grade ore increased both in size and copper contents until yesterday, when the improvement was much more pro nouneed, and the ore in the drift is now as fine sulphide as can be shown in the district.
 Manager Mccarthy vas feeling very good over the opening of this shoot of ore, as it greatly enhances the value of the property. The Globe Consolidated on the l200-foot level, has now drifted 700 feet on the Gem vein and 900 feet on the Future Copper vein, all in ore of commercial value, and for two hun dred or more feet on the Gem in good smelting ore. Plans will be announced within ten days for the further develop ment of the Globe Consolidated and also the Eureka property in the Miami sec tion, which properties have been con solidated under the name of the Cor. dova Copper company, and within a very short time it is expected that op- erations will be carried on with vigor and on comprehensive scale.

MONEY IS TIGHTER

NEW YORK, April 23.---There was some calling of loans going on today by the banks and the search for renewed accommodations, while the violent ef- feet on the call loan rate apparently had the effect of inducing some spec ulative liquidation. The call loan rate touched g per cent; which is higher than since the first week in January. The sales for foreign account over balanced the purchases and some re- newed anxiety over the situation in Turkey was inferred from this and from weakness of Turkish bonds in the European markets.
 Withdrawals of $2,5O0,000 gold from the sub-treasury for export was an nounced late in the day. The shorts showed some urgency to cover in the late, market, but the closing tone of the market was generally weak and showed the lowest of the day.

 Corn prices broke from l-2 to 3 l-2 arly in the day as a result of the un- loading of large lines of the May de livery, which some of the leading com mission houses had been accommodating for the last few weeks.
