Mr. Parkins (N. Y.), in Urging Its
Adoption, Declare* 8ome of the
President's Expressions Are Unfor

Says, Would Bf t£ck of Proper

Washington, Dec.' 12.—Immediately
after the convening of the house Rep
resentative Perkins of New York in
troduced a resolution which had here
tofore been agreed upon providing for
the appointment of a special commit
tee of five members to consider the
proper means of dealing with that
portion of the president's message
which criticises the course of con
gress In prohibiting the detail of
•ecret service men to duty outside of
tbeir own bureau. The resolution is
preceded by a preamble reciting some
expressions of the message. No effort
Is made to give voice to the feeling of
the house. In presenting the resolu
tion Mr. Perkins made a brief state
ment, saying that he was satisfied
that the house would not hesitate to
take such action as the dignity of that
body required. He said that some of
the president's expressions were un
fortunate.
The resolution was adopted and
Messrs. Perkins (N. Y.), Denby
{Mich.), Weeks (Mass.), Williams
(Miss.) and Lloyd (Mo.) were ap
pointed on the committee.
In submitting the resolutions Mr.
Perkins said that the statements by
the president could not be lightly dis

of the secret service force is not the
only action of the executive that is
considered by members as objection
able. It became known that the sub
committee of the committee on appro
priations, having in charge the prep
aration of the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill, has
been investigating the rasing of the
old Penasylvania depot that was lo
oated on the Mall until the president
had It torn down last summer. That
the committee failed to expunge its
inquiries about this action from the
printed hearings is taken to Indicate
the temper of that committee toward
the executive.
When Colonel Charles S. Bromwell,
military aide to the president and
superintendent of public buildings
and grounds, appeared before the
committee Representative Burleson of
Texas asked him if he had not re
quested an appropriation last year for
a watchman for the old depot.
"I think so," replied Colonel Brom
well, "but I have not had any occa
sion to use it because i have torn
down the railroad station."
"What! Torn down the railroad
station?" exclaimed the Texan mem
ber.
Colonel Bromwell explained that he
tore down the building on a written
order from the president of the Unit
ed States.
'Do you know of any law on the
statute books that authorizes any ex
ecutive officer to sell any of the prop
erty of the United States of that char
acter—real estate?" inquired Chair
man Tawney of Minnesota.
"No. sir," replied the president's
aide, "I called the attention of the
higher authorities to that fact and I
received an order to tear the building
down."
The committee also went Into an
examination of government officials to
ascertain what right the commission
on country life, appointed by the pres
ident, had to use the franking priv
ilege, as it claimed was being done.
Members of the committee referred to
the commission as "one created with
out authority of law."
DECIDES TO MAKE THE TRIP
House Committee Will Visit Panama
Canal Zone.
Washington, Dec. 12.—A trip will
be made to the isthmian canal zone
by the Interstate and foreign com
merce committee, according to a de
cision reached by that committee. It
will sail on Dec. 28, probably from
Miami, Fla., on a government tug,
returning to Washington Jan. 13.
The trip to be made to allow the
members to become more thoroughly
acquainted with the governmental
conditions in the zone. The present
government of the cone la regarded as
temporary only and the committee
may decide that the time has arrived
when a permanent code of laws
should be drafted for that territory.

Committee Results in a Compromise
by Which a Certain Amount of Fili

Free of Duty Annually.
Washington, Dec. 12.—Free trade
with the Philippines was one of the
most important matters agreed upon
fcy President-Elect Taft and the Re
publican members of the ways and
neans committee at a conference on
tariff revision. While Mr. Taft favors
free trade with the insular posses
lions without any restrictions It is
understood that in order that there
ihall be no dissention
he
haB agreed
that the amount of sugar and tobac
co which should be allowed
entry
free
of duty should be restricted.
With that end in view It is expect
ed that the sugar interests have
agreed to a compromise by which 300,
ttOO tons of sugar will be admitted
trom the Philippines annually free of
duty and that all sugar over that
amount will pay the present rate of
fluty, which is 25 per cent less than
the duty imposed by the Dingley tar
iff on sugar from other countries.
