Mr. Morgan has a talk with the President

President Roosevelt greets a man “hidden” inside of a barrel. The man is saying, “Hush! I’m J. P. Morgan in disguise.” Behind Roosevelt and Morgan are several men labeled “reporter,” over which there reads, “Not a word of this must be printed,” and others labeled “detective,” one of whom is calling, “Silence!” Caption: Mr. Morgan always surrounds his movements with as much secrecy as possible and his stay in Washington today was no exception to the rule.–Press dispatch.

Knapp’s recollection was that Roosevelt declined to express an opinion in the matter. In light of this, Cooley sees no reason not to proceed.
