Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt was injured after falling from her horse and was unconscious for over twenty-four hours. There is no serious danger but she is in great pain. Theodore Roosevelt requests information on the Central American treaties which he supported. Senator Cummins will support the arbitration treaty if the Senate can confirm the commissioners. Roosevelt is not satisfied with Senate confirmation as it avoids several prominent arguments against the arbitration treaty and appointing commissioners would inevitably become a political matter.
