President Roosevelt tells Senator Foraker that he “had no idea” that Judge Frank Feuille would resign his post. Roosevelt notes that Commissioner to U.S. Congress from Puerto Rico Tulio Larrinaga recommends that Feuille’s successor should not be appointed until the President can speak with Puerto Rico Governor Beekman Winthrop, who is now in Washington DC. Roosevelt asks Foraker to “ask Larrinaga to see Winthrop and put one or two names before him.”
