MAY FORGIVE ROOSEVELT.
Resolution Presented to Expunge Re-
fusal to Receive Message.

Washington, d. c.. March Repre-
sentative William S. Bennett of New
York has introduced a resolution IN
the house to expung from the records
the resolution adopted by that body
year ago, refusing to receive from
President Roosevelt his famous "se.
cret service" message.
This resolution was reported by the
so-called spanking committee ap-
pointed by the house to investigate
precedents. After a debate of day
it was adopted and the house refused
to receive the message. The debate
indicated that the members resented
the implied charge that they were
curtailing the activities of the secret
service because of the fact that sew
eral members of congress had disa-
greeable experiences with it.
Mr.. Bennet's resolution was sent to
the house committee on rules.

inquiries, wrote the following for the
Associated Press:
I'm view of the fact that will pres
1ntly appear before the committee to
acquaint them with the truth, l will
not reply through the press to the
mendacious aspersions which Pinchot
seeks to cast upon me. He attempted
unsuccessfully to deceive the presl-
dent. He will find it will be equally
difficult to deceive the committee.
obviously the deception by which
he hopes to succeed is the temporary
deception of the public through the
press. This he endeavored to do by
giving out in advance the introduc-
tory statement he has been malignant
enough to present but not quite reck-
less enough to state upon oath.
Fortunately will soon have an OPP
portunity to give the public through
the committee, the facts and the
truth. have no statement at present
to make"
