Frank B. Kellogg writes to William Loeb to inform him that he wants President Roosevelt to know that, in the course of the Standard Oil investigation,  they did not use the Secret Service, apart from finding witnesses once. Kellogg wished to make this point known because he heard that Roosevelt would be addressing Congress at some point in response to an inquiry regarding the secret service, and did not wish for the Standard Oil case to be mentioned. If this case is mentioned, Kellogg believes that some senators who dislike him will take it as an opportunity to criticize him publicly.
