Washington Notes: House rebukes Roosevelt on secret service probe
The House votes 212 to 35 to table criticism of the president over secret service matters and declares it will not consider communications lacking its respect. Senator Culberson's resolution on the Tennessee Coal and Iron absorption by US Steel is adopted in the Senate. Roosevelt released secret service findings on Senator Tillman, and announced approval of the Tennessee Coal and Iron deal. A treaty among the United States, Colombia, and Panama settles all disputes, and all naval officers below rear admiral face physical tests.
