Commissioner General Powderly defends the transfer of John R. De Barry from Buffalo, New York, to a position on the border. He believes an experienced inspector such as De Barry will be much more useful at a border station then in Buffalo. Special Immigrant Inspector Watchorn has been sent to Buffalo to interview those that protested De Barry’s transfer and report fully on the facts of the case.
