President Roosevelt tells Henry St. George Tucker, president of the Jamestown Exposition Company, that he did not understand that Tucker had already talked with Secretary of the Navy Truman Handy Newberry about Captain Henry W. Carpenter. Based on what Newberry says, Roosevelt does not believe he can have Carpenter detailed to the exposition but will make sure that the person who is assigned there is agreeable to Tucker.
