Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt explains to Mrs. W. H. Schieffelin that before his appointment to his current position, he wrote to and met with Secretary of the Interior Cornelius Newton Bliss about reappointing W. N. Hailmann as Superintendent of the Indian School Service. However, now that he is Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Roosevelt cannot do as Schieffelin requests as it is improper for officials in one department to interfere with another.
