CONGRESS HITS AT ROOSEVELT. Hou3o Names Committee to Act on Fart of Message that Offends. A'fight between the President of the United States and Congress, which some seemed to think may exceed any breach since the famous Andrew John son impeachment case, began Friday. It was precipitated by the President attacking the integrity of the memljers of the House and Senate. Action against the President was taken in the Ilonse when a committee of four was appointed to deal with the objectlonnble portions of the message. When the President, in his message, de clared that the main reason for Con gress curtailing the scoik? of secret service operations was because the members themselves feared investigation, and that tbe amendments benefited only criminals, be stirred up the trou ble. While the more deliberate Senate was quietly planning a rebuke to the President, the House acted openly. The resolution providing for the "re buke' committee was introduced by Heprcscntative Perkins of New York, as had been prearranged. The resolu tion is preceded by a preamble recitng some expressions of the message. In presenting the resolution Mr. Perkins made a brief statement, saying that he was satisfied that the House would not hesitate to take such action as the dignity of that lody required. lie said that some of the PreIdent's expressions were unfortunate. m Cburcbts There are over 100 priests of the Passioaist order now at work in this country.

It was only two 3-eirs ago that he celebrated his last mass. William E. Chandler, former Senator from New Hampshire, has come into the limelight again by advocating a new religious doctrine, namely, that after- we lay down our physical beings on this earth our souls will go to some of the stars, there to be reinvested with new bodies and to have the same conscious existence a here, only to greater perfection. He said in an interview that his faith in a future life is stronger than ever, but that it was only faith that we are not intended to have knowledge on the subject.

He cited cases iu which men had been cured of the "club" habit, tnd recommended the treatment for extravagant wives and bad boys and girls.
