Theodore Roosevelt asks New York City Police Commissioner Woods to give an interview to Francis Beirne, a special officer in Roosevelt’s office building. Beirne is trying to join the New York City Police Department, but is having some trouble with his application. Roosevelt is not aware of what the trouble is, but tells Woods that Beirne is alert, efficient, and faithful, the kind of man Roosevelt would have hired when he was police commissioner.
