matter long and earnestly and I urged him to accept. He was distinctly moved
by the tender and thanked me with moist eyes for my interest in him, for he said
of course the President would not have appointed him had it not been for me.
Dudley Malone followed Warburg. We took up many matters of interest,
among them the proper handling of the Colorado strike situation, and his effort
to bring John D. Rockefeller, Jr. to agree to some sort of settlement. John D.
Jr. had telephoned Gordon twice while I was in Washington asking where I was and
when I would return. Dudley telephoned his office and found he was sick abed.
Later he got in touch with his secretary and began negotiations in that way.
Warburg came back in the afternoon. He had been talking with his part-
ners who appreciated the honor which had come to him. The more I see of Warburg
the better I like him and the better I think the President has done in selecting
him.
Edward S. Martin came as he does nearly every day. He left, however, when
Warburg came.

Today was <del/> another busy and interesting one. I found that Alfred Henry
Lewis was writing of me again in the American, telling of my political activi-
ties at the Baltimore Convention and of my negotiations with Thomas Fortune
Ryan. I have never met Ryan and I was in Europe during the Convention, but
that makes no difference to the imaginative Lewis.
Dudley Malone came to tell of his progress in his negotiations with Rockefel-
ler. John D. was pleas<add>ed</add> <del>ant</del> with what he, Malone, had said to his secretary. Ma-
lone had told him among other things that he, Rockefeller, should defend himself
and not permit his name to be smirched for the balance of his life with a charge
of murder, such as clings around those in connection with the Homestead strike
and riots.
I believe Dudley will influence a settlement of this vexations question.
