PERKINS LEADS DEBATE
Four Members Whom President
Quoted in Support of Statements
Unite- In Hot Resentment
Against Him.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. By a vote of 212
to 35. the House today adopted resolutions
reported by a special committee laying
on the table the part of the President's
annual message relating to the Secret
Sen-Ice and also the message of January 4
replying to the Inquiries of the House on
the subject. This was taken on the ground
that the messages are not respectful and
are therefore a breach of the privileges
of Congress.
Almost every member of the House was
present when the report of the special
committee was presented by Chairman
Perkins, and his denunciations of the
President's language as an attack on the
Integrity of the members of Congress
called forth frequent applause, indignation
at the President's utterances having
arown Instead of diminishing as time
elapsed. The galleries were filled, the
corridors were crowded, the doorways
jammed, and long lines of people waited
merely to peep into the House.
Tawney of Minnesota, Sherley of Ken
tucky, Smith of Iowa and Fitzgerald of
New York, the four members whose
speeches on the provision of the appro
priation bill of last session restricting the
employment of Secret Service men, were
quoted by the President In his message
of last Monday, each made a speech de
nouncing the Interpretation put on their
utterances and citing evidence of their
readiness to vote money for the detection
of crime.
Then came the vote, and the House felt
that It hod vindicated Its dignity and gave
vent to Its feelings In loud applause.
Should Reject Message.
Perkins began by saying that the com
mittee was to decide whether the passage
of the message under discussion were
couched in such form that proper regard
for the dignity of a legislative body
should forbid their reception. The com
mittee considered these passages a
breach of privileges and thought the
House should refuse to consider them.
The committee had nothing to do with
the merits of the question of the emplqy-

PARIS, Jan. 8. Wilbur Wright, the
world-famous American aeroplanlst, was
today named as corespondent In a divorce
suit brought by Lieutenant Gourjarde,. of
the "Cuirassiers, stationed at Champigny,
The trial is set for February.
Not long, after his arrival In France,
and after he had made a few trial Ascen
sions, Wright became the social lion. Peo
ple of prominence began to rival each
other in their efforts to entertain in honor
of. the American. H was during these
social events that he met lime. Gour
jarde. She, however, was only one of
the many admirers of Wright, and al-
thouich she has frequently been seen in
company of the aeronaut, nothing un
usual was thought of ' it. because the
American was the social Hon of Paris,
and it was expected that ha was to be
admired by many women.
Ime. Gourjarde, however, is quite an
enthusiast on aeronautics, and perhaps
this accounts more than any other reason
for her apparent friendship for Wright
Since coming to France, Wright has
made numerous flights in his new aero
plane, some of which established new
records, and his success has aroused the
jealousy of some of the French inventors.

- WASHINGTON, "Jan. 8. President
Roosevelt tonight made public details of
an investigation by Postoffice Inspectors

man's connection with an alleged land
grab" in Oregon. As he presents the
evidence to Senator Hale, in response to
the latter's request to the heads of th
various executive departments for a state
ment of the opinions of the Secret Sarv
Ice, the President undertakes to show

a Senator in an effort to force the Gov
ernment to compel a railroad corporation
to relinquish its control .of land grants
from the United States in order that he
and his family and his secretary, J. B.
Knight, might profit through the pur
chase of some of the land;
That the Senator used his Government
franking privilege In numerous Instances
for the conduct of private business.
Mr. Tillman did not permit the fact that
Mr. Roosevelt was giving out the charges
against him to alter his determination
to make no statement until Monday. No
effort was made by him to conceal that,
when he had learned the facts concern
Ing the railroad grant, he had made an
effort to obtain portions of the land In
the names of himself and members of
his family, but he declared that, as at
most he could have got possession of
only a few hundred acres, his efforts
were, after all. In behalf of the public.
and not especially in his own Interest.
Tillman Will Talk.
Immediately after the conclusion of the
Chaplain's prayer Monday, Mr. Tillman
will ask the recognition of the chair on
a question of personal privilege. De
parting from "his custom of extemporan

The communication to Senator Hale Is
nearly 3000 words long, and in addition
