...Hoover's commission, took occasion emphatically to deny that he had kissed or embraced a Negress on his arrival fortnight ago, as reported in the U. S. press. His version of the incident: When the Commission landed in Port-au-Prince a huge crowd was waiting on the pier.

At the pier a man presented the original bills of lading for the shipment. A customs clerk picked out Casks No. 4, 30 and 53 for sample inspection. They were opened and, sure enough, they did contain flower pots. A crockery duty of $107.70 was assessed and paid on the whole consignment and away went the other 51 casks, first to a warehouse, then by truck out over Long Island roads to "The Braes," where they...
...days later the delegation assembled aboard the S. S. George Washington at her pier in Hoboken. Delegate Charles Francis Adams, last to leave Washington, traveled to Jersey City in a special train, filled with advisers, clerks, stenographers, correspondents and servants. There Democratic Mayor Frank Hague drew up a reception committee to greet him at the station. But Delegate Adams hurried so fast to catch his boat that the committee never saw him. Aboard the George Washington he found himself assigned to the same suite that President Woodrow Wilson had occupied eleven years ago when he sailed for the Paris Peace...
