MASTERY SUMMING UP OF
ENTIRE CASE AGAINST SULLIVAN

livan would have testified that
Judge Mann authorized the return
of this money, the evidence con-
clusively shows that John T. Sulli-
van. with full knowledge of the
facts that eight men were entitled
to money, eight men accused upon
the records, one man, Pong Que,
putting up this money, delivered
this package of money to a young
Chinaman, SO far as this record is
concerned, who walks out with
SITS in his pocket. if the testimony
be true. If it be not true, If this
Chinaman Is not telling the truth,
we have no account of the manner
in which this money got out of the
envelopes at all.
Now let us take Mr.. Pitts testi-
mony on that. Pitts says that he
took this money-that Mr.. Sullivan
called him up, that he refused to
give the money up; that Sullivan
notified him to give it up, and he
gave it up, and Burns went right
up stairs with it. This Chinaman
testifies that he went there to see
Sullivan; that he never went out of
the room; that Sullivan never went
out of the room; that Sullivan
went to the desk or the drawer
and took out SITS. Why? Because,
the Chinaman says, "The boys are
poor and they need their money"
But the fact is that one of these

keeper, who has got twelve tables
three cooks and a large number
of tables. He was one of these
men who put up this money.
contend that when this money was
there 1t was unlawfully distracted
in an improper way, whether it was
properly applied or not. But the
evidence in this case is conclusive
that this Chinaman who came
there and got that money was not
authorized to get it, because he
testified upon examination that he
did not know all of these men, he
only knew one, Sam Jim, or China
Jim, and the other eight men he
had noacquaintance with. He was
not there wheV the game was 60
ing on; he was not there when the
arrest was made; he did not know
whose money it was himself; he
didn't see the money paid; he does
not know how the money was col
lected; he does not know how 1t
was disbursed and he does not
know whether these men got their
money or not.
Gentlemen of this council, We
ask this council to say that that
money was improperly disbursed,
whether it had been under the Or
der of any Judge or anybodys else,
because that is no way in which
the public funds can be dealt with.
Now what does that mean? 1t
means that John T. Sullivan in his
own room by himself with an in
terested Chinaman, man who was
in league with lawbreakers, had a

They make the startling statement
that he blu prevents neither the COM

two sections Of the bill that were

PHILADELPHIA. March 3.-on
the action to be taken this after
noon by the common and select ,coun-
ellis Of Philadelphia will rest the In
dustrial peace of this city.
Unless councils can devise some
plan Tor an Immediate settlement OF
the present street car strike, a gen.
eral walkout OF 100000 union men
has been ordered to begin at mid
night Friday. While 1t is not be-
lieved this number of men will re-
spond. unions representing $4,000 of
them have ALREADY siKnified their in
tention Of obeying the call for the
strike.
Officials of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company. Mayor Reyburn and
the city represe natives on the Rapid
Transit board of directors, still re-
fuse to believe the general strike
possible, or to grant any point to
the strikers that would end the pres
ent strike or avert the general walk
out.
Public sentiment in Philadelphia Is
unanimous In demanding a settlement.
Politicians. fearing loss of prestige,
are seeking TO settle it. Business
men. who have already lost millions
of dollars as a result OF the paralysis
OF business. insist on settlement.
Nevertheless. in the fact of all this.
the city officials declare in positive
terms they will not grant arbitra-
