ALEXANDER SULLIVAN ARRESTED.
Report at New York That the Noted Chi
cagoan Is in Trouble.

Nsw York. Sept. 16.-The World this
morning says: 1t was rumored late
last night that Alexander Sullivan, Of
Chicago, whose name figured so con-
spicuously though indefinitely in the
Cronin murder case, had been arrested
in Paris at the instance of the Eng
lish police. In connection with the ru-
NOR The Worlds Chicago sorrespon-
dent telegraphed the following: Alex
ander Sullivan went abroad two months
ago to Carlsbad, so it is said. Satur-
day night last his wife. Margaret Sui
livan, was stricken with apopleXy and
now is very i'll. She said that he was
to have sailed yesterday from Bremen.
She cannot be seen. Nothing definite
is known here. though it is runored
that Sullivan is in trouble. The be-
lief is that Mrs. Sullivan'S attack was
caused by some distressing news con-
tanned in q cablegram. 1t is said by
Irishmen here that Sullivan would not
have gone into any dynamiting scheme
now. II is possible that he may have
been arrested on the theory that he
was an Irish Invincible, but there is
no evidence that he was even remote
ly connected with the invincibles."
