We took first Mr. Husband. the secretary of the commission. a man from Vermont. appointed. I think. on my own suggestion. because he had been the clerk of the Senate Committee on Immigration and was the most proficient man that I knew of personally in Washington in relation to immigration. We went down to the Bureau of Immigration. and we got from there the best report that had ever been made to the Bureau of Immigration by an agent sent abroad. which was made by Dr. Maurice Fishberg. of New York. We took him at the same salary that the Bureau of Immigration had paid when he went abroad for them. We took one stenographic clerk for the use of the six members of the commission. a Mr. Hicker. from California.
