Great was their perturbation, long the ashes protruding from their cigars. How long could the New York banks stand the strain? One answer to that question was suggested when the bankers summoned to their presence a short, stocky athletic man of 64, Daniel Ellis Woodhull, president of American Bank Note Co. The bankers asked him to print $250,000,000 worth of scrip for the New York Clearing House to use in case they needed...
Secretary of Commerce. Daniel Calhoun Roper, 65, was a forgotten man of the Wilson Administration until Mr. Roosevelt unexpectedly boosted him into the Cabinet.

Daniel (blond Douglass Montgomery who was also Daniel in Act I) futilely protests against his own social sphere by wearing turtleneck sweaters and dirty tennis shoes. He has also written a book on the New Economics...
