Sul- livan, American minister to the Do- mfnican Republic, was described yes- terday as ‘“a big-hearted, good-na- tured, honest Irishman,” by Ex-Gov- ernor J. Franklin Fort of New Jersey; &S a man “actuated by high purposes” by John C. Gray of Wilmington, Del., and ‘as & man good enough for San Domingo” by James K. McGuire, for- “mer mayor of Syracuse. All three Were witnesses at the inquiry by Sen- ator-elect Phelan of California into the fitness of the minister to hold his post. # MoGuire, one of Sullivan’s endorsers for the position, said he went to San Domingo to seek contracts from the government after Sullivan was ap- pbinted, and was “perfectly frank to say that the fact that Sullivan was minister to San Domingo influenced him in going there” and that “ a kind word from Sullivan” would have Lelped him in his negotiations with the government. He obtained no con- tracts, however, he said, on account of & change in the ministry- Fort’s Impression Favorable. ' Ex-Governor Fort, who headed a commission which last summer at- * Uéinpted to compose the difference be- tween the Bordas government and the revolutionists in San Domingo, said he had made an informal inquiry there futo Minister Sullivan's conduct after certain rumors had been brought to his attention, but that on the whole hig impression of the minister was favorable. He said he knew nothing against him except carelessness in his personal attire which he added, was not in evidence on public occasions. John G. Gray was frank to admit that he had recommended Sullivan for the post to Secretary of State Bryan, but denied that at the time he knew anybody that was interested financially in San Domingo, or that he had any selfish purposes in recoms= mending him in connection with ob- taining public contracts on the island. Gray's name has been mentioned as associated with William C. Beer, at- torney for Banco Nacional intercsts of San Domingo, who have been ac- cuged of seeking to exploit the island d to have promoted Sullivan’s ap- pointment as minister in furthefance of that purpose.

The witness said he thought it was very commendable of Jarvis to want the secretary’'s approval in the matter. Nothing resulted from the lpan, however. Acquaintance With Bryan. Senator-elect Phelan wanted to know how intimate the witness was with Secretary Bryan. He replied he would not call his relations intimate, but that he was glad to be called the secretary’s friend, and that he had emtertained him at his home in Wilmington. He said he had recom- mended Sullivan at the instance of Irish-American organizations in ~- Wilmington, He put into evidence two letters from Sullivan, which indicated his SAGE AND SULPHUR DARKENS GRAY HAIR Brush This Through Faded, Lifeless Locks and They Become Dark, Glossy, Youthful. > Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sul- phur in the hair.
