was made for detecting counterfeiters
and running down "other fclonies."
Aside from the chief and a few clerks
the secret service is really kept alive
by n yearly appropriation in the sun
dry civil bill. The service, however,
had greater latitude than at present up
to the time when President Roosevelt
In 1907 got into n controversy with
Congress because of the fact that he
caused Investigations to be made con-
corning certain congressman. In re-
venge Congress adopted the restriction
that prohibited the use of the secret
service men for any other purpose
than the detection of counterfeiting
and tho protection Of the President.
That provision has limited their activ-
