In a note between Secretary of State Root and Charles Ray Dean, Root inquires if Senator George Gray, John William Griggs, and Judge Melville Weston Fuller have been made aware of their appointment to the Hague Tribunal. When Dean replies that they were notified in November 1906, Root replies, “No! We are not so pithecoid as we look.”
