(Rep., Iowa), Sherley (Dem.. Ky.i, and Fltxgerald (Dem., N. Y.). The beginning- of this agitation, the president says, was a S000 word letter ent to the Chicago Inter-Ocean in 1904 by L. W. Busbey, private secretary to Speaker Cannon. At the time this letter assailing the secret aervice 'was pub lished. President Roosevelt points out, these government detectives were work ing on the great land frauds in the west and aiding In the beef trust Inves tigation. "But all of this," continues the presi dent's message, "Is of insignificant' Im portance com pa red witht he mala, the real issue. This Issue is simply. Does congress desire that the government shall have at Its disposal the most efficient instrument for the detection of criminals and the prevention and punishment of crime, or does It not? The action of the house last May was emphatically an action against the In terest of Justice and against the Inter est of law-abiding people, and In Its effect-of 'benefit only to lawbreakers. Is the house now willing to remedy the wrong?" Quotas Famous Lettar.

Delivery made at our earliest convenience. secret service, in which he said: "There is no more foolish outcry thah this against 'spies;' only criminals need fear our detectives." The message reviews the operations of the secret service men since 101. They uncovered a system for the fraudu lent acquisition and fencing1 of public lands. In this work one of the detec tives was assassinated. In Nebraska 60 men were indicted for land frauds, and of 32 so far tried, 28 have been convicted. The government has secured the return of 1,000,000 acres of grazing land and of 2000 acres of mineral land in Colorado. It is suing for 160,000 additional acres. Of the land frauds, the president says: "No more striking Instance can be imagined of the deslrabilitv of hav ing a central corps of skilled investi gating agents who can at any time be assigned, if necessary in large numbers, to investigate some violation of the fed eral statutes. In no matter what branch of the public service." The secret service men obtained hun dreds of convictions of conspirators who sold fraudulent naturalization papers. They located In Canada Greene and Gaynor, who were implicated in big government contract, frauds, and ar rested them. They secured many con victions In peonage cases and in silk and opium customs frauds. They as sisted In the beef trust Investigation and located the cotton leak In the agri cultural department. Their destruction of fc lottery company netted the govern ment 1300,000 in fines. - In revealing the Ink contract fraud In the bureau of engraving and printing they saved the government $100,000 a year. The total expense of the secret service last year was $115,000. "Such a body as the secret service," continues the message, "such a body of trained Investigating agents, occupy ing a permanent position in the governT ment service, and separate from all local Investigating forces In different depart ments is an absolute necessity if the best work Is to be done against crim inals. To provide for this Is not only the right of congress but emphatically its duty. To use the secret 'service In the Investigation of purely private or political matters would be a gross abuse. But there has been no single Instance of sucn .souse, during my term as presi dent. "I most-earnestly ask. In the name of f ood government and decent admlnlstra lon. In the name of honesty and for the purpose of bringing to lustice viola tors of the federal laws wherever they may be found, whether In public or private life, that the action taken by the house last year be reversed. "I also urge that the secret service be placed where It properly belongs, and made a bureau In the department of justice, as the chief of the secret service has repeatedly requested: but whether this Is done or not. It should be explicitly provided that the secret service can be used to detect and pun ish crime wherever It s found." Attached to the message is a letter from Secretary Cortelyou of the treas ury department to the house committee on appropriations.-, the Busbev article, and letters from the president to Speaker "Cannon and the late Senator Allison, all bearing on tills subject.

MESSINA PEOPLE WILL REBUILD CITY AT 0XCE (United Presa Leaaed Wire.) Rome, Jan. 4. Undaunted by the ruins that surround them and the memo ries of the last Tveek of horrors, the people .of Messina and Keggio are plan- ntng to rebuild their homes-and recon struct trie annent cities mat reu in ruins about them. Word of their brave resolve was brought here today bv Cardinal Nava, archbishop of Catania. Ills eminence said: . ; "The destruction of the cities Is as complete as pictured In the most ex travagant stories published. Still there Is no Thought among the prominent cltl sens of the dismantled towns that Mes sina and Regglo shall be abandoned. "Many smaller towns will not, be re built, as they are literally blotted out and their sites are of no particular com mercial advantage." Because of the number of decaying bodies in the ruins, it will be necessary to abandon the cities shortly to avoid pestilence. It will be six months before the ruins may safely be visited and cleared. Director Paterno, government chem ist, and Vice Director Lauprarlo went to Messina today. The best estimate is that 80.000 bodies are in the ruins of Messina. The rescuers are weighting the bodies with stone and Iron and sinking them in the waters of the strait of Messina.

Sacramento, Cal., Jan. 4. By a vote of 16 to 14, the Republican senatorial caucus this morning refused to admit Senator Charles W. Bell Into its fold The fight was particularly significant as being the first indication that, on a test vote, there are almost enough "Insurgents"" to outnumber the regu lars. Bell, contrary to his attitude two years ago, did not apply for admission to the caucus at this session. That was unnecessary, as Senators George S. Walker, Charles P.Cutten, Marshall Black and Ernest Blrdsall championed his cause and matte his fight for admis sion into the caucus. These men are elated over their sur prising strength, as shown by a vote which,, when taken with the nine Demo crats in" the upper house, makes a for midable aggregation for legislative war fare.
