Jana,

This is not run of the mill stuff so I must admit that I would probably have
a meeting with one of the NARA specialists before starting the search. There
are two NARA films that may be useful. I have used the FBI (Record Group 65)
files and they are very good. Your 1909 date is at the early end of the FBI
films so I would also look at INS films for Record Group 85.

There may be other files to check but I would first check the indexes for
(from NARA web site)
<<Records of the Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI]
(Record Group 65)
1896-1996
65.2.2 Investigative records
Textual Records: Microfilm copies of the following investigative records:
general records ("Miscellaneous Files"), ca. 1908-22 (145 rolls), with index
(111 rolls);
.................
Microfilm Publications: M1085>>

If that proves negative try:

<<<Records of the Immigration and Naturalization Service [INS]
(Record Group 85)
1787-1993 (bulk 1882-1957)
85.2.1 General records
Textual Records: Letters sent, 1882-1912. Letters received, 1882- 1906, with
registers, 1882-1903, and indexes, 1893-1906. Subject correspondence, 1906-32
(224 ft.), with name and subject indexes (21 ft. and 31 rolls of microfilm).
.................
Microfilm Publications: T458.>>>

Good luck with your project.
