Monroe and Monros gatecrashers of war contracts lobby scene
A long exposé alleges John Monros, once Kaplan, and co conspirators used social dinners at the Georgian House on Ai Street to funnel influence for war contracts. It links John Monro,s false identity, Mrs Eula Smith, and several lawmakers and officials to a web of lobbyist dinners, guarded deals, and questionable financing. It details Monroe's dubious business ventures, West Point hiatus, and attempts to secure military contracts with Louisiana and New York figures, plus ties to Frank Celesti and the Tampa Company.
