Federal Bureau of Investigation says Justice Department is probing conduct of FBI agents in Phoenix for possible improprieties related to their use of front companies to gather data on China, Middle East and activities of Palestinian militant group Hamas in response to charges by former FBI operative Harry Ellen; probe apparently concerns whether agents enriched themselves through front companies; Ellen broke with his Phoenix handler, Kenneth Williams, after becoming involved with Joanne Xie, Chinese citizen seeking asylum in United States; told immigration hearing for her that he refused Williams's bid to transfer money to Hamas and other Palestinian organizations for 'violent purposes' so FBI could monitor money trail; he and Xie filed complaint with FBI in 1999 accusing Phoenix office of leaking his identity to news media, improperly probing Xie and allowing Chinese operatives to penetrate office's counterintelligence unit (M)
