Biography

W. E. Graham was arrested at Seattle on January 25, 1918 in immigration proceedings alleging advocacy or teaching of unlawful destruction of property. The congressional hearing digest identifies federal file 54379/74, records an October 7, 1918 order for deportation to Canada, and states that actual deportation took place January 9, 1919 on the public-charge-at-entry ground. The initials are retained without expansion. The order is distinguished from completed removal, and no complete continuous custody duration is inferred.
