Commissioner of Immigration Williams asks William Loeb to see what he can find out about John J. Hagarty, who has written to President Roosevelt alleging ill treatment on the job at Ellis Island. Williams believes that Hagarty deserves to be dismissed from the service, as “he is a malcontent and a mischief maker,” and has already been given a great deal of leeway regarding his actions.
