Senator Bourne asks William Loeb, secretary to Theodore Roosevelt, whether Roosevelt has any knowledge of the Spokane Rate Case that will soon come before the Interstate Commerce Commission. There is a rumor in Portland, Oregon, that the President supports the businessmen in the case and Bourne wonders if this is true because if it is true, he would like to present to Roosevelt the views of leading area businessmen.
