I would not ordinarily attempt in

Ktiiie. in whlrii I simply spoke ot
the action of the house its ti whole,

I will state that 1 think the re

the members whom I linve men

Now as to the teqtiest of congresx
that I gle thv evidence for my stole,
inent that the chief nrguuieut li fa
vor of the provision was thnt tin
congre 'allien did not thomselves wish
in lie Investigated by secret service
men.
The part of he CoiiHtesslomil Itec
onl to which 1 have referred nhovii
entirely supports thin st ;i t i-nifnt . Two
distinct Hues of argument were fnl
This allegation In the resolution. j mV(Hl ln tlll, ,j,.,.,t,.. (m. coiicemed

..Mild . put iiKn the activities ot

follow., it, the same vein, and by
fur ttic hiiK'st part nf the argument
aciiiiist tin' employment of the se
cret .service wits confined to the
stiito incur that It was "In vlobvtUm
of liiA." Of course such n atiitement
Is not. In any w-ny an argument hi
lav or of the Justice of the provi
sion. It is not an argument for the
provision at all. It Is simply a state
ment ,f w-hat the gentlemen making
It eniicelve lei have been the law.
There was both by Implication and
direct statement the ass. rtlon that
it was .the law, and ought to be the
lav that the secret service should j
only be nseir to suppress connter-
felting; and that the las should 1e
made mote rigid (.him ever In thh
respect.
Incidentally I may say that in in)
Judgment there Is ample legal author
ity for tht) statement that this ap
propriation law to which reference
was nisrtV Imiiosea no restiictlima
whatever upoo the ttsy of the scnit
service meet, lint relates solely to
the expenditure of the money appro
priated. .Mr. Tawney In the debate,
state) that he hid In his tHiawos
slou "a letter from the secretary of
the treasury received it few days
iigo" In which the secretary of the
treasury "himself admits that the
provisions under which the appro.
prlatlou has been nindo must have
been vlolatiil year alter year for n
number of years In ills own depart
menu" 1 nppeiul hurewith as Appen
dl. A the letter leferred. It mnke
no such a Emission nr. that which
Mr. Tawney alleges. It contains on
the contrary, as you will sec by read
ing It. an "emphatic protest against
any such abridgement of the right
Negated to the secretary of the
treasury by existing law." and con
eludes by nssertlng that lie "Is quite
within his rights In thus employing
the service of those M uenls" and
that the proposed modification
which .Mr. Tawney sticoeedi In car
rying through would be 'dlslliictK
to tin advantage of tlio violators o'
criminal statutes of the 1'nltcd
States." 1 call attention In the fact
that In Ill's I ! . r of Sciretarv Cop
telyou to Mr. Tawney, as In my let
ter to the ipcrkcv quoted : 'ov
tin explicit slatcmout Is made that
the proponed ('limine will lie for the
benefit of the crtmlmil. a statement
which 1 simply reiterated' In public
form In my iiiossukp to the congress

Then, after saying that congress
I will Insist that the men shall only
be used to atop counterfeiting, the
article goes on:
pi event the wrong'. Messrs. Tuwneyj
and Smith and ther fellow members,
on the appropriations committee p.iid
no heed to the protects; ntid as tl.. j
obnoxious provision was incorporate ! i
in the sundry civil bill. It w tit im
losslble for me to consider or .is !
cuss It on Its merits, ns I i'oiilii"
have done had It been In a sc.i.vpti
bill. Thetefoie 1 have now taken the
only method nvallable, that of ills
Congress does not Intend to have cusiiln; it In my nieHsage to con
a Fottche or any other kind of min
ister of police to be used 'by tho u
tcuttve ilepartntenu against thu 1k
islallve branch of thu government.
It hit been so used, and It hi sus
pected that It has been so used re
ciiitly. Tho legislative branch
of the government will not toluratu
the inoJilling of directives, whethei
they represent the president, cabinet
oiflcers, or only theanselves.
Congressmen resented the secret In
terfer. ! of the secret service men
who for weks shadowed soino of
the most respi'cied members of the
house and senate. When It
was discovered thnt the xecret ser
vice men wore shadow Iiik congrvRS

tion at thu capltol and' tin; bureau
ontue ueor lieliiR nliollshed and the
appropriation for tho suppression of

other ttlllo the chief of the secret
liorvlce had his men shadow com
giessmt'ii with a view to Involving
them In scamlaU that would en-
olile the bureau to dictate to them

sec-rot service men have shown an

Kress; and as nil efforts to secute
what I regard as proper treatment
of the subject without recourse '
plain speaking had foiled, I have'
ssikeii plainly and' directly, nnd have!
set ofrth the facts In explicit teims-- ,
Since UHU the investigations cov
ered by the S'.Otet service division
under the practice which had bee .
for many years recognized as prop
er and legitimate, nnd which had re
ceived the sanction of the highest
law- officers of the government have
eovenvt a wide range of offenses
sigiiVt-Ht the federal law. Hy far the
most Important of these related to
the public domain, ns to which thete
was uuisjveted n for-t caching ami
widespread system of fraudulent
transactions involving both the Illegal
acquisition uul the Illegal fencing or
government latvl; ami, in connection
with both these offenses, the crimes
of perjury and subornation of per
jury. Some of the persons Involved
In these vlolatloim were of great
wcolth and of wide political and
social Influence. Moth their corpmo"
associations and their political iiffii
lotions, and the lawless character of,
mmiio of their employes, made tin I
Investigations not only difficult but;
dangerous. Ill Colorado one of tin
secret service men was assassinate d j
In Nebraska It was neceswary to re
move a United States attorney and a
I'lilted States nmishal before sat
Isloctory progiess could be made In
I lie prosecution of the, offenders. j
The evidence In all these cases was
chiefly seemed by men trained in
the secret service and detailed b
the depaitmcnt of justice at the ie
quest of that department and' of the
depot Uncut of the Interior. In thr
slate of Nelnaska alone sixty de
fendants were indicted: and of the
donee to help the department of I tlilny-two cases thus far brought to
Justice In the beef trust Investiga
tions at Chicago, which resulted In
successful prouccutlons.
In view of Mr. Ilusbey's position,
I hnvo accepted the above quoted
Htutemeiits ns fairly expressing the
real miiinliig and animus of the at
tacks mink' In general terms on the
use of tho secret service for the
punishment of criminal. Further
more. In the performance of my duty
to e ml on vor to find the feelings of
congreasmoii on public questions of
note. I have frequently discussed
this particular matter with members
of congress; and on such occasions
the reasons alleged to me for the
hostility of congress to the secret
service, both by those who did and
by those who sjdil not share this
hostility, were almost Invnrlobly the
Kme as those sot forth In Mr. Uuf'
bey's article. I mny odd, by tho way.
that those Allegation a to the se
cret service are wholly without foun
dation In fact,
libit nil of this is of Insignificant
Importance compared with the main,
the renl Issue. This Issue Is simply,
doe congress desire that the gov
ernment shall have at its. disposal
the mot efficient instrumci t for the
detection of criminal nml t'u pre
vent Ion and punishment of crime or
toes It not? The action of t'v house
