President Roosevelt received Representative Cockran’s letter. He does not know E. C. Waters personally, but if Major Pitcher, the former Superintendent of Yellowstone Park, thinks he should be banned, Roosevelt sides with him. However, he has sent Cockran’s information and request to acting Superintendent Sam Young.
