Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Ethan Allen Hitchcock

President Roosevelt agrees with Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte that District Attorney of Wyoming Timothy F. Burke cannot be reappointed due to his lack of enthusiasm regarding laws against the illegal enclosure of public lands, and informs Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock of the situation. Roosevelt has contacted the senators of Wyoming to let them know that Burke will not be reappointed. Roosevelt feels there has been a breakdown within the Department of the Interior in making a successful case against Senator Francis E. Warren, which Roosevelt feels is a more serious case than Burke’s. Edward B. Linnen’s report can be completely discredited and therefore no action can be taken. Roosevelt suggests that a new examination be undertaken by another group of men.
