Miller Freeman notifies Theodore Roosevelt that a delegation of “Southern Pacific Attorneys” left to attend a hearing in Washington, D.C. to protest against Henry L. Stimson, U.S. Secretary of War, letting Lake Washington canal lock a contract. Freeman says there are no legal questions involved and left to Stimson on sound judgement. Freeman states if Roosevelt attended the hearing, he would see that the corporation is trying to block the pacific coast from the benefits of the Panama Canal, and Freeman asks Roosevelt for his help in the matter.
