It can be justly, said, I think, that those ex presslons of the president were unfor Innate.

"We are the representatives of 90.0.10. 000 people.

"When the report of this committee is presented an opportunity will be given for full discussion of this ques tion. I would be glad to have this rev olution adopted without debate. Perkins' speech was given close atten tion, and at the conclusion of his re marks both sides applauded him. The resolution was then adopted with out debate, and there seemed to be no hint of disapproval. , Speaker Cannon immediately appoint ed the committee, whose report It is ex pected will probably be received by the middle of next week. It was stated at the White House that the president was aware of the Intention of the house and that It is expected there that the senate will act similarly. Senators Lodge and Beveridve held a consultation with the president this morning with regard to the matter. Roosevelt's friends tbday say the Re publicans have acted swiftly in the matter for the purpose of preventing the Democrats from making the first move and thereby gaining political cap ital. The senate Republicans decided to day to let the Democrats Initiate action in the upper house corresponding to the resolution which was introduced In the lower house today with reference to President Roosevelt's remarks in his message concerning the secret service. It Is probable the senate resolution will be introduced on Monday. The inten tion seems to be to make the senate resolution identical with the house measure except that the investigatlou shall be made by a regular standing , v-uiiiiiiincc, The house special committee will meet tomorrow for a general discussion of its work and then will adjourn until uia eany part or next week.
