Mr. Chairman. this has been existing law for many years. and two years ago we heard the same kind of charges made against the commissioner of immigration at Ellis Island. and Mr. Sulzer. the man who was governor of New York up to some weeks ago. introduced a resolution in this House by which he asked an investigation of the conduct of Commissioner Williams. who was in charge at Ellis Island. That resolution was referred to the Committee on Rules. All these great stories that gentlemen have talked about today were Investigated by them and rehashed. and when the commissioner and the inspectors who had made the examinations presented their side of the case the resolution actually broke down. and the man who introduced it himself admitted that the commissioner there had not done wrong.
