President Roosevelt informs Senator Culberson that he is already discussing the expulsion of cadet William J. Nalle from West Point with Secretary of War Luke E. Wright. Roosevelt finds that the case is entirely different from that of midshipman James M. Haralson, who was recently expelled from the Naval Academy. Nalle should be disciplined, but his career should not be ruined over it.
