"A careful reading of my mwsf will show that I said nothing: to war rant the statement In the house reso lution that "the majority of the oon-rreoT-n re In far of bln inves tlgated by the secret service men.' or 'that congress a a ho!e was actuated by that motive'."

The president quotes from a letter he sent to speaker Cannon April 30. protesting against Interference with the secret service, In which he said "There Is no more foolish outcry than this against 'spies'; only criminal heed feftr our Cetectives." The message reviews the operations of the secret service men since 101. They uncyvmd a sys tern for th fra-iLilnW acquisition and ferulng of public land. In this Work one of the detectives was assnislnated. In Ne braska 60 men were Indicted for land frauds, and of ii so far tried. 2s have , .. . .

Of the land frauds President Roose velt says: "No more striking Instance can Imagined of the desirability of having a central corps of skilled In veti)ftiting agents who can at any time be aligned. If necessary In large numbers, to investigate some violation of tin; fedenil st.'tlules. In no matter what brunch of the pulilii' servloe."
