 WASHINGTON. March G.-Captain J. J. Sullivan. acting marshal of Law renee. testified today before the house committee Investigating the textile strike He gave a detailed story of the operations of the police during the trouble at the depot. The police. he said, tried to keep children from leaving the city, because they be- lieved that they did not have the consent of their parents to leave. They took them to the police sta tion. and later to institutions where they were cared for, until called for by their parents Sullivan said he had authority to do this under the state law providing for care of neg lected children. As to the strikers being poorly dressed, Sullivan said he had seen people in the streets of Washington just as poorly dressed as the Lawrence strikers.
 The report that they have meat but once a week. he said T do not believe. They have their own peddlers who make daily rounds with all kinds of provisions and clothing, and who are well patronized. No undue force was used in making the arrests. but in many instances we had to use force because of unequal numbers pitted against the police. The soldiers had nothing to do with preventing the children from leaving the city
 It was learned today that a visitor to yesterdays hearing was Miss Anna Morgan. daughter of J. P Morgan. She stood in the crowd surrounding the witness room sometime and left unannOuuCed
