...Freeman is known as "Honorary Consul-General of Haiti." At the Bal Boheme in Washington last year he and his party enacted in tableau the discovery of Haiti, Mr. Free man impersonating Christopher Columbus in elaborate costume and shell-rimmed spectacles. He once invited Emma Gold man, radical propagandist, to lecture on Communism in his East Orange, N. J. home but the meeting was thwarted by police. In 1918 he converted his home into a hospital for wounded soldiers, cared for 1,000 in three years. Last year in Manhattan, he entertained at a large dinner Nan Britton...

He has written a history of India. He has served as an "educational missionary" at Bankura College, Bengal. He has written many a page expressing sympathy with the aspirations of Indian "Moderates."
