Letter from William Bourke Cockran to William Loeb
Congressman Cockran forwards a telegram to William Loeb. There appears to have been a distortion of the language used by President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Elihu Root in their dismissal of charges against Judge Lebbeus R. Wilfley, which is creating unrest among Catholics in Shanghai, China. Cockran wanted to get the approval of Roosevelt or Root before giving this sort of an answer to Diomede Falconio, the Apostolic Delegate from whom he received the telegram.
