WHITE HOUSE, Copy WASHINGTON. February 16, 1907. To the Department of Justice and others whom it may concern. Mr. Mark Goode of the Bureau of Indian Affairs is representing the Government in the investigation in which one Martin J. Bentley, whom the Government has good reason to believe has been guilty ot great and repeated wrong, has made issue with the representatives of the Government on this point. The investigation is also to find out whether there are any persons in the Departments of the Interior, Justice, State and Treasury who have in any way been improperly concerned in Bentley's actions. I direct that Mr. Goode be immediately given access to any papers in any Departmentof the Government which he may desire to see. If for any reason the head of any Department deems it improper or unwise that a particular paper shall be shown him, let him bring that paper to me and go over the matter with me before complying with Mr. Goode's request. Otherwise Mr. Goode is to have access to all papers. THEODORE ROOSEVELT
