BULLIVAN DENIES AL CHARGES OF UNFITNESS American Minister in Lotter Makes Counter Assault on Vick New York, Jan. 29.—A statement from James M. Sullivan, American minister to the Dominican republic, \derying all the charges of unfitness Juade against him, chiefly by Walker 'W. Vick, former recelver general of ‘customs of Santo Domingo, was read in evidence yesterday at the hearings linto the charges before Senator-elect _Phelan. \ The statement, Was supported by dence and made against Vick. received by mail, documentary evi- counter charges Sullivan declared that Nt had been made .the victim of a .newspaper campaign engineered by Viek to attack his character and con- ‘duct, which was unsupported by facts. He saild that certain newspapers in the United States had ‘“championed the cause of as audacious a gang of 1Dlmtcs as ever sailed the Caribbean.” No Apology to Make. { Ssulliv id he had no apology to .make for recommending the Banco Nacional as the depository for the re- ceivership funds, which Vick charges was an untrustworthy institution and which has been accused of seeking the appointrent of Sullivan in order to ©xploit the island. e i 4 was unwilling to make the schange. he would have scarcely acted Tpon my rccommendation,” wrote the pinister. *The fact is that the desire o dmake further change was born in Vick some months later for reasons begt known to himseif, and in the campaign he then opened on the {Banco Nacional there was no inter- ference- from me until I learned of Viek’s determination to turn the busi- iness over from an American to a British corporation (Royal Bank of Canada), whereupon I simply noti- fled the state department of Mr. Vick’'s irtention and asked the state depart- men to note the significance of the change. This notification prevented Wick from carrying out his purpose ‘and the depository was returned to the original banker from which it was first taken, who was the lawest bidder on the proposals made in answer to Mr. Vick's advertisement. «“The records of the state depart- ment will show that I never recom- mended any one bank above another, except that I urged a preference for the American bank, stating that if ‘the American banks here were not sat- isfactory, the department should urge scme responsible bank in America to open a bank here.” " Asked for Financial Expert. Sullivan alleged that he had been fnstrumental in having a financial ex- pert, Charles M. Johnson, sent to the island. “If 1 had any intention of exploit- ing Sapto Domingo,’ he wrote, -“‘what strange policy to place on guard a man who would have the right and has the right to investigate every ‘transaction in this country which af- fects it financially.” Accusations that he had brought his cousin, Timothy Sullivan, to Santo Pomingo to share with him the prof- its of his alleged exploration were de- nied, with the statement that Timothy Sullivan had done nothing more than perform a gratuitous service to the government in conection with a public works undertaking, and that he had left in six weeks at the minister's request. Denies Causing Bloodshed. Sullivan denied that he had caused bloodshed on the island and asserted that at the time of the revolution in 1913 it was through his efforts that a peace pact had been signed. He de- clared that on more than one occasion ~he had prevented battles. He had been instrumental in holding a fair election, and for the first time es- tablished a government not based on force. He had secured free speech and » free press, released political prisoners, obtained from the govern- ment the right of fair trial and broken up corruption in the public works de- IF SKIN BREAKS OUT AND [TCHES APPLY SULPHUR Use it like a cold cream and | dry Eczema eruptions right up. - The moment you apply bold-sulphur to an itching or broken out skin, the itching stops and healing begins, says & renowned dermatologist. This remarkable sulphur made into a ~ thick cream effects such prompt relief, even in aggravated . Eczema, that it is 8 never-ending source of amazement to phyaicians. For many years bold-sulphur has oc- cupied a secure position in the treat- ment of cutaneous eruptions by reason of its cooling, parasite-destroying prop- s trties and nothing has ever been found to take its place in relieving irritable and inflammatory affections of the skin. While not always establishing a perma- nent cure, yet in every instance, it Immediately “subdues the itching irrita- tior and heals the Eczema right up and it is often years later before any erup- twn again manifests itself. Any good druggist will supply an punce of bold-sulphur, which should be ., applied to the affected parts like the | ordinary cold creams. Tt isn’t unpleas- ant and the prompt relief afforded is very we]come, particularly when the Fe- rema is accompanied with torturous itch- ing.

SIS ey partment, he said. “Since that time, I have devoted myself to the task of driving unworthy Americans bent on loot from the country,” he added. “Lies” Declares Vick. Sullivan declared that Vick had dis- played more interest in public con- tracts than he did and he was interested in lighthouse con- tracts. This Vick today denied on the stand, as he did all of Sullivan’'s coun- ter accusations, characterizing some of them as “lies.” The investigators here close! to be resumed in Washington, ably next Tuesday. Before adjourn- ment, Vick received permission to read into the record a statement which he said he deemed it his duty to have the impression repudiated that ‘‘any members of the family of President Wilson had di- rectly or indirectly been identified with any acts that would affect his honor as a public man, or taint his character.” “I make this statement,” he “in view of the wide publicity today pr said, public mind thoughts and suspicions.” MAY RETURN NOBLE PRIZE TO ROOSEVELT Bill Introduced in House—Colonel to Use $40,000 to Relieve Suffer- ing This Winter. Washington, Jan. tive Bartholdt, introduced a bill yes- Promotion of Industrial Peace and re- turn to Colonel Roosevelt the $40,000 cash Nobel prize the colonel gave as a nucleus. Senator Lodge has introduced a similar bill. Representative Bartholdt ceived correspondence Foundation trustees and Colonel Roosevelt in which the Ilatter ex- plained that the perpose of the fund was to serve as‘a nucieus for other gifts. “These gifts,”” wrote Colonel Roose- velt, “have not been made and I en- tirely agree with you that it is better to have the fund returned to me to be administered by myself. I shall, of course, use it for purely philan- thropic purposes. The plan, through no fault of the trustees, has resulted in the talent being hidden in a napkin for eight years. My proposal is to have the fund used and, if possible, some of it used this winter when there is so much suffering.” has re- between the WANTS STOCKS CONFISCATED. City Consul at Vienna to Follow Germany's Example. Venice, via London, Jan. 29, 9:25 A. M.—Despatches from Vienna state that the city council and the press are demanding that the Austrian govern- ment immediately follow the example of Germany and confiscate all stocks of grain, flour and meal. Practically no grain is being offered on the mar- kets in Vienna, Budapest or Prague. The press, the despatches state, de- clare that a great catastrophe threat- ens unless confiscation is adopted, and it denounces the selfish attitude of certain Hungarian agriculturists who, it is claimed, are hiding thousands of tens of grain and flour. Responding to the appeals of land owners the Austrian government has consented to the employment of prisoners of war in field work, thus replacing peasants who have gone to the front. The prisoners will be sent out in detachments of ten to a hun- dred men, and consequently will be available only on the larger estates. DECREASE OF POPULATION. 14,136 Inhabitants I.ost to Canal Zone During Year. Washington, Jan. 29.—A census of the canal zone just completed shows a loss of 14,136 inhabitants during the past year, the present population be- ing 31,160, The greatest population since the American occupation was 61,279 in 1912. Since then there has been a sleady decrease which is ex- pected to continue until the popula- tion is reduced to actual employes of the Panama Canal and the Panama railroad on the permanent basis, and persons in the military service of the United States as the government has adopted Colonel.Goethals' suggestion regarding the removal of ‘the ecivil population from the zone as a military measure, except in the case of the | terminal cities.
