President Roosevelt directs Attorney General Bonaparte to communicate with the War Department regarding the question of having a United States Marshal inspect some messages. If the Marshal needs soldiers, Roosevelt says, they will use them, but it would be better to have a definite statement regarding whether they are needed or not. Roosevelt thinks that having civil authorities patrol the line and only resorting to soldiers in the case of a mob would be preferable.
