Jacob A. Riis quotes a conversation he had with a fellow countryman, who told him of a time when President Roosevelt was leaving Seattle and had looked down on a crowd made up largely of Scandinavians, and seemed disappointed when they did not give him a sign of recognition. The man believes Roosevelt did not know that Scandinavians are “never demonstrative that way.” Riis also mentions Baron Hermann Speck von Sternburg’s poisoned face wound that will not heal, and recommends that he contact the Finsen Light Institute to seek treatment for it.

Victor Howard Metcalf provides President Roosevelt with a series of correspondences regarding an immigration inspector, George C. Triick, who was accused of mistreating Mr. Chow Tszchi, a Chinese dignitary. The department agrees that the Government should provide the utmost courtesy to Chinese people but notes issues in proving citizenship or defining who could be classified as a Chinese laborer. Chinese merchants, teachers, students and bankers are welcome, but not laborers with falsified Chinese papers pretending to be of a higher class. A treaty written in 1904 sought to deal with falsified records but the Chinese thought it was too strict. Metcalf notes any concerns of harshness in the enforcement of exclusionary laws is necessary to combat those trying to skirt the system.
