Gen. 247 (1907)). Commissioner of Labor Charles P. Neill was also appointed a member of the Immigration Commission under the act of February 20. 1907 (34 Stat. 898. 909). to investigate immigration affairs. His salary as Secretary of Labor exceeded $2.500. Bonaparte duly noted the holding of Griggs in the Putnam case. He rested his decision in behalf of Neill on the grounds that the position of member of the Immigration Commission. being of a temporary nature and for a single specific purpose. did not fall within the definition of "public office" as defined by the United States Supreme Court in U. S. v. Hartwell (16 Wall. 385. 393).
