Was Not Authorized by Law.

The detective business for the civil
war was begun without any law Of
authorization, without head. system or
regulations. The result was a great
cutlery against the injudicious methods
of espionage that created bitter enemies
at every step. Misrepresentation and
abuse, originating under such condi-
tons. did not fail to attach to the bet
ter organized secret service as directed
by Gen. Baker. He remained five years
at the helm, doing the things exacted Of
him, without yielding to the public
opprobrium which attached to his
duties.
In April, 1861. he came to Washington
under orders. He had gained experience
as the leader Of a vigilance committee
of over 1000 men operating on the
Pacific coast against marauders and
others inimical to the newly settled
gold country: 1t was suggested to Maj.
Gen. Scott, in command of the army,
that he would be a good man to have
charge Of secret service in gaining mill
tary intelligence.
Gen. Scott had at that time found 1t
impossible to obtain information re-
garding the Confederate forces at
Manassas Two of five men who had
been sent to gather information were
known to have been killed and the
others probably prisoners.
IF you have judgment and discretion"
said Gen. Scott, you can be of great
service to your country"

Brig Gen. Lafayette c. Baker. U. S.
A, was the organizer of the military
secret service that performed the de-
tective duty of the civil war. At the
outbreak of hositlities a national de-
tective bureau was entirely new and
regarded as contrary to republican in
situations. But the exigencies of war
seemed to make some such function of
military espionage indispensable, and
the service came into being. 1t went
out of existence with the close of the
war. when no longer necessary for mil
itary purposes
The secret service, the present or
ganization which is a division of the
Treasury Department, was created by
act of Congress at the time that shin
plasters were in existence and counter
feiting thereof had become general. It's
scope and purpose were defined to de-
tect such counterfeiting and catch the
counterfeiters.
In the Spanish-American war the de-
tective work, for military purposes.
was generally intrusted to the then
we'll known secret service then. as
now, a part of the Treasury Depart
ment. However, the War Department
had bureau Of intelligence. which
concerned itself particularly with in
terror matters and was not tntrusted
with foreign quests after information
OF military value. The secret service
proved its efficiency.
