Sullivan Accused of
Receiving Diplomats
In His Undershirt
NEW YORK, Jan. IS. Concern lug the
personal habits of James M. Sullivan,
American minister to Santo Domingo, he
was told that the minister on one occa
sion received the Italiun minister and
the British charge d' affaires In his un
dershirt. Charles A, Butlln testified today
at the inquiry being comfheted into, the
fitness of Sullivan to hold his position.
It was an olficlal oall,, added Butlln. vho
irt an Englishman, former head of : the
Dominican government wireless station.
"And I can testify," Interrupted Walker
AV. Viek, instigator of the Sullivan in
vestigation, "that the minister received
them in disgraceful attire."
Butlln' said Minister Sullivan had mado
him propositions for the extension, of the
Island's wireless system and later had
.Inspire! his removal from offico In the
wireless service.
"This," said Butlln, "was due to tho
fact that I was an antagonist to any
private concessions being granted by the
government."
Roger L. Fsrnham, secretary of the
National City bank of New York, denied
that his bank had any plans contemplat
ing the exploitation of Santo Domingo,
lie said the bank's only Interest ih the
island was the lending of S1,ROO,000 to the
government two years ago. ,
Farnham said he knew only by hearsay
of the reputation of the Banco Naolonal
of Ranto Domingo, to which institution,
it is alleged, the customs fund of the
islund were transferred' at the instance
of' Sullivan. He said he knew nothing of
the Jarvls Interests controlling tho Bunco
Nanlonal and hai no relations with Sul
livan. '
The only relation his bank had with
Santiago Michelena, Farnham tald, was
to ask Michelena to present the loan
.proposition to the government. Xiichelena
is a Santo Domingo banker, in whose
institution the republic's customs funds
were deposited before being removed to
tl.e Banco Xaoional.

Democrats Afraid
They Cannot Pass

WASHINGTON. Jan. 16. 1 emocrallc
leaders la th. senate, confronted by every
I arllamentary obstacle that minority
senators can resort to, have practically
abandoned hope of accomplishing any
general legislation In the few remaining
weeks of the sixty-third congress, ex
cept appropriation bills, and the govern
ment ship purchase measure.
Kven tha ship purchase bill Is In dan
ger of failure, In the opinion of coma
of tho natora. Although they have
assurances that this n-easure nm be
passed, they are fearful lest the press
of appropriation bills, coupled with the
concerted pkins of republican leaders to
fight the ship bill, will operate to keep
the latter from reaching a vole.
It became known today that soma
of the democratic senstnrs had told lli
president that the conservation measure
and Philippine Independence bill, whleli
he had urged in his annual message t'
congress, could not be passed at this ses
