Jue Joe's record on 1906 Ship Manifest
Here is a previous post that explains how Jew Joe returned as a "returning laborer" even though his immigration should have been blocked by the existing discriminatory immigration laws of the time .
He must have had some "friends in high places, " who convinced the immigration authorities to "land him ". Interestingly, after return to the United States , Jue Joe applies and receives a duplicate of his original identification certificate required of all Chinese in the United States that he does not have with him on return . Yet on the ship manifest a return certificate number is listed that does not match the number of his original certificate. I suspect all these issues would have caused him to be sent back to China and not allowed entry but for the intervention of his "friends in high places ".
