LAST OF BIG TIM SULLIVAN
Asylum Doors to Close on Him For
ever-The Bowery in Mourning.

There was many sad heart among
| the Irish, the Jews, the Italians, the
Americans the Bohemians, the Slavs,
the Polacks, the Germans, the Hun
garians and all creeds and races in
the Thirteenth congress district last
night when they learned that Timothy
d. Sullivan, their representative In
congress, Big Tim," who also had
represented the Bowery district in the
senate and assembly at Albany for
many years, would be with them no
more forever.
The same feeling of sorrow pre-
vailed in the Democratic national
club and in Tammany's ranks from
Charles F. Murphy, its chieftain, down
to the humblest follower when 1t be-
came known that upon application
yesterday in Part II, special term OF
the supreme court, made on the petit
ton of relatives, step-brother and
step-sister. Justice Amend signed an
order committing Representative Sui
livan to DR.. G. F. M. Bonds sani-
tarium at $50 North Broadway, Yon-
kers. Hitherto Representative Sui
livan has been a voluntary patient at
DR.. Bonds establishment The dis
ease from which he is suffering, how
ever has taken such strides within the
last few weeks that it became neces-
sary for his step-brother and step
sister to make permanent arrange
ment for his physical restraint in the
sanitarium. Under the arrangement
by which Representative Sullivan
was received at DR.. Bonds sanitarium,
he could at any moment leave the
establishment without let or hind
rance.
While Representative Sullivan has
been a docile and resigned patient,
he has become a victim or marked
hallucinations, which indicated that
in the near future it would be neces-
sary to put him under restraint. The
step-brother and step-sister, after
consultation with a number or Rep
resentative Sullivan's friends, were
advised to take the step they did
yesterday in making their application
to Justice Amend, and the justice
signed the order.
Within a few days, yesterdays or
der will be supplemented by an order
on regular application, appointing a
committee of the person and property
of Representative Sullivan as an al
legged incompetent. This will be
necessary, it was stated last night,
for the protection of Representative
which are said to have suffered since
his voluntary confinement to DR..
Bonds sanitarium. After the COM
mittee has been appointed to take
charge of Mr.. Sullivan's personal af-
fairs, he will, without doubt, be re-
moved, perhaps to Amityville, where
Maurice Barrymore and John McCul-
Tough. the famous actors. died
number of years ago. Representative
Sullivan is suffering from the same
malady which brought to an untimely
end these two famous members Of the
theatrical profession.
With these court proceedings known
to Representative Sullivan's constitu-
ents and to his friends in the Demo-
cratic national club and to Charles F.
Murphy and others in Tammany Hall,
all were aware that Representative
Sullivan had departed from the af-
fairs of this life and would no more
be seen by them until after his death.
Governor Sulzer, in due course of
time. will direct a special election for
congressman to succeed Mr.. Sui
livan in the Thirteenth district. Ply
sically, Representative Sullivan Is
today the gigantic figure familiar to all
New Workers and to all Democrats
who have attended the state and ma
tional conventions Of their party. He
