ASKS TAFT TO GUST KEEFE
Nagel Says Head of Immigra-
ton Service Accepted Passes.

Washington. Feb. 22.-Secretary Nagel
has made a report 20 President Taft on
the Official conduct Of Daniel j. kcefe,
of Detroit, Commissioner General of I'm
migration, and has recommended that
Keefe's resignation be demanded.
The report alleges that the head Of the
immigration service has accepted free
transportation for himself and family
from railroads and steamships. These
alleged acts were considered by Secretary
Nagel as sufficiently serious to be called
to the Presidents attention. because the
Commissioner General OF immigration
necessarily deals officially with railroads
and steamships In connection with immi-
grafton cases.
II Is not known whether President Taft
will take any action. He may leave the
case for tho consideration OF President
Wilson, in view Of the few remaining
days OF his administration. Secretary
Nagel will not discuss the situation.

cral OF immigration In November. 1903
for an indeterminate term. He was for
