President Roosevelt tells Acting Secretary of State Bacon that because the position of Governor of the territory of Arizona is an appointed position, Bacon should direct Territorial Governor Joseph H. Kibbey to make sure the practice is stopped immediately, rather than request it of him. United States Marshals and Collectors should also be instructed to use any extra force necessary to stop the practice. Roosevelt asks Bacon to communicate with the Department of Justice and the Department of the Treasury to make sure this is done.
