Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Tracy C. Becker
President Roosevelt thanks Tracy C. Becker for the letter and statement from Francis J. Heney, who has now been the target of an assassination attempt. Roosevelt has sent and published certain telegrams about Heney, and will not speak to president-elect William H. Taft about appointing anyone for his Cabinet. He will consult Gifford Pinchot, the chief of the U.S. Forest Service, about making a game preserve in the Cascade Mountain Forest Reserve, but is sorry to stay that only the state can act in that case.
