JOHN |. SULLIVAN MARRIED
To Miss Harkins, Sweetheart of Hiss
School Days

Boston, Feb. John L. Sullivan
the former heavyweight champion
fighter of the world, was married today
to the sweetheart of his school days,
Miss Katharine HaT-kins, a wealthy real
estate holder of Sharon. The wedding
took place at the home of the brides
sister, Miss Mary Harkins, in Roxbury.
The couple will sail tomorrow on the
steamship Ivernia for England. Sulli-
van secured a divorce from his first
wife a year ago.
Miss Katherine HarISins and John L.
Sullivan were schooImates together in
Boston, and early became attached to
each other, but when Sullivan took up
a pugihstic career against her wishes
the friendship was broken. A few
years ago. when the former champion
was threatened with blindness, the
sympathy of his old friend was arous-
ed. and she is said to have nursed him
back to health. Securing q divorce
from his first wife, Sullivan renewed
his friendship from Miss Harkins, which
eliminated in the marriage today.
Even religious obstacles, owing to the
objection of the Catholic church, of
which Mr. Sullivan is a, member, to
sanctioning the marriage of a divorcee,
were brushed aside by the couple. who,
in the absence of dispensation were
married by a justice of the peace.

Robnett's words over the telephone,
which formed one of the charges.
Then Miss Hesler took the witness
stand and, flashing diamond ring in
the eyes of the court, declared that she
had been engaged to DIR. Robnett since
November and that DIR. Cowles not
only tried to meet her but wanted to

out Gale of the forty resident pupils
and a majority of the boarding stu
dents at East Greenwich academy re-
fused to attend school today because
a favorite instructor, c. S. Holbrook

charged last week. The feeling of the

days. Rev. c. A. Stenhouse, president
of the academy, appeared before the
school committee of the town tonight
and explain his action, but the result
of the meeting was not made public

that Mr. HoIbrook had been an eff1-
cient teacher and had created a fra
ternal feeling among the students, and
they claimed that a change in the
teaching staff in mid-year meant a Sc
rious setback to their studies.
Rev. Mr.. Stenhouse issued a state
neut in which he declared that a stu
dent has presented him a legal con-
tract requiring the president to re-
tain Mr.. Hotbrook's services or for
felt several hundred dollars. The pres
ident said he thought this document
was false. and claimed he saw the
teacher and 1ieutenants picket the
