Commissioner of Indian Affairs Leupp writes hurriedly from a train station as he heads back to New York, to forestall a possible appeal from Captain Samuel E. Shoemaker of a decision made about his brother Jacob, who is employed by the Indian Service. After an investigation of the latter’s conduct, which was impeding the work of the Service in the Southwest, it was agreed that rather than be dismissed, he would be allowed to retire this summer. Now, however, he is appealing to be assigned elsewhere. Leupp is sure President Roosevelt will uphold the decision made by Indian Affairs and allow them to continue to deal with the situation.
