Henry Litchfield West, on behalf of the Washington, D.C., Board of Commissioners, explains how a complaint made by B. Pickman Mann to the Commission got into the newspapers. Mann charged that the Washington, D.C., police issued a warning to President Roosevelt’s chauffeur rather than arresting him, out of favoritism to the President. Mann’s letter was published before West had seen it and responded. West explains that, although the publication was through no willful intent on the part of his staff, he regrets the annoyance to the President. He will have the Commission issue an order that any letter referring to the President of the United States be brought to the attention of the Commissioners immediately.
