The caption places this glass negative in Stuyvesant Square in New York, where newspaper photographers were reportedly arrested during the funeral of financier J. P. Morgan. Morgan died in Rome in March 1913, and his April service at St. George's Church on the square drew large crowds and a heavy press presence. The tension over where photographers could work reflects the competition among news picture services of the period, including the Bain News Service that produced the negative. The record gives no date, so the caption's account of the arrests is best read alongside the newspaper coverage of that spring.
