Senator Lodge informs President Roosevelt that fifty soldiers at Fort Riley tried to rescue a comrade from jail and were fired on by the sheriff. It reminds Lodge of the Brownsville case, and he encourages Roosevelt to treat the Fort Riley case with care so that no one can suggest that more severity was shown to African American troops than to white troops. Lodge also notes his interest in the riots occurring in Vancouver, British Columbia against the Japanese.
