Senator Fulton writes to President Roosevelt regarding District Attorney Heney’s report that charges Fulton with supporting John Hicklin Hall for district attorney in return for his agreement not to prosecute Senator Brownell. Fulton discusses errors in the report and affirms that he believed Brownell was being unfairly persecuted, but states he never bargained with Hall. Furthermore, much of the evidence comes from letters by Senator Mitchell, which Fulton claims he did not see. Fulton includes copies of the correspondence between Brownell and himself.

George E. Chamberlain acknowledges receipt of George B. Cortelyou’s letter regarding an act by the Oregon State Legislature to create a sailor boarding house commission in Portland.

Federal intervention is welcomed, and may do some good.
