Senator Eugene Hale would like to be advised as soon as possible the exact duties that Joseph Bucklin Bishop would perform as Isthmian Canal Commissioner. He expects to be questioned “very sharply” about it on the Senate floor. William Loeb has arranged a meeting between Hale and President Roosevelt at 9:30 Sunday evening. Hale also remarked that there are continuous complaints about the accommodations for Senators at the Executive Office, and says he is considering adding a provision to the appropriation bill that would build a second story.
