Release by Detroit News

George E. Miller sends Theodore Roosevelt a news release by the Detroit News, which he thought Roosevelt might like to read. The News reports the interaction of the House Committee on Appropriations with administrators of the Smithsonian Institution in a slightly humorous manner, focusing on the preoccupation of several representatives with whether any money would be going to fund Roosevelt’s safari expedition. While the hearings were going on, the Smithsonian institution issued its annual report stating that Roosevelt’s expedition was financed by private sources.
