inals anywhere" President Roosevelt
IN a statement made public from the
Write House tonight enphatically re-
iterated his opposition to restricting
the field of usefulness of the secret
service.
The position Of the administration
is said the president, that II is
against sound public policy to discrlm.
mate in favor of criminals by discrim-
limiting against the use of the secret
service to detect and punish them.'
The statement was called forth By
misleading statements appearing in
some afternoon papers to the effect
that the work of the secret service hal
not been hampered. ana that the III.
vestigaation of cases outside of tha
detection of comterfeiters and pre-
lection of the president had net been
circumscribed by restrictive iegislA-
tion at the last session Of congress-.
Was Most Harmful
The president declares the a4sr.
ton that the restriction was harmful
to the government interests Is net
correct enrl eoNtiaued:
The effect Of Limitation is ma
tIially to circumscribe a field Of
usefulness In which trained agents of
the secret service had hitherto been
adyantageously employed. II be-
came impossible to use these Invest.
gators in a class of cases in which
they had been eonsplcuously success
ful for many years. The phraseology
Of the restrictive legislation is such
that any person who was employed in
or under the secret service division
during 1909 for even so short a peri
cd as an hour became disqualified
for promotion or employmenta In any
branch of the government serveice
where either his compensation or ex.

Agreeable to Deneen.
Mr. Browne said it was an
amicable resolution perfectly agree,
able to Governor Deneen. Reynolds

supported by King of Knox county
Chiperfeld of Fulton county, wanted

the whole.
Browne, said replying to the state

It Is withon the new Highland forest

that an important LINK OF the great Hud-

and Albany has boon surveyed to pass
from West Point to Cornwall along fhe
fronts OF the mountains, and as 1t was
impossible to round the Storm King
precipioes a 100 foot tunnel was pro-
jeoted to pass through the mass OF Storm
King.
This tunnel would emerge at its southern
end directly from the face OF the cliff
which the quarry people intend to work
at q point about 200 feet above the level
Of the river. the road to be carried thence
by bridEework down to the door Of Storm
