William H. Moody informs President Roosevelt that he has authorized the use of deputy marshals but limits the involvement of the government to simple protection of commerce in the railroad dispute. Moody does not have an objection to the appointment of Thomas A. McBride as district attorney, but it would be unfortunate to allow Francis J. Heney to dictate the appointment.
