Secretary of State Hay returns to President Roosevelt a letter from Senator William P. Frye regarding William B. Dickey, former consul to Callao, Peru. Dickey was removed from office after complaints and an investigation, with Frye’s knowledge; but on Dickey’s return to the U.S., he convinced Frye that he was innocent. A second investigation concluded there was insufficient evidence for Dickey’s removal, and Hay has promised Frye that something will be done for Dickey at the earliest possible opportunity. Frye is not satisfied and is now petitioning for Richard R. Neill, who first brought the charges against Dickey, to be replaced by Charles V. Herdliska, and for Dickey to be returned to Callao.
