President Roosevelt asks Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock if John B. O’Neill could be promoted to United States Indian Inspector as successor to James E. Jenkins. O’Neill is a brother of Roosevelt’s old Rough Rider comrade William Owen O’Neill, and because Roosevelt has heard good things about him he would like to help him if he is fit for the position.
