MILLION DOLLAR
MYSTERY" FOUND
in REAL LIFE
Officials Looking for Missing
Million Looted by David Sulli-
van, Joy Riding Convict
DISTRICT ATTORNEY
BELIEVES COIN CACHED
Starts Movement to Recover the
Savings of Hundreds Of Small
Bank Depositors

NEW YORK, Nov. "a hunt for
81, 100000 was begun today by the
Kings-co. grand jury, which is investi-
eating the actions of David A. Sulli-
van, Brooklyn bank wrecker, whose
automobile joy-rides while he was a
prisoner at Sing Sing furnished the
latest morsel OF scandal at the New
York penitentiary.
District Attorney Cropsey, conduct
ing the grand jury's monetary re-
searches, Is satisfied that Sullivan
has "salted away" S1,000,o00 OF the
money which was lost to hundreds of
small depositors when his peculations
smashed the Union Savings bank and
sent Sullivan to prison for two years.
II was proved at the investigation or
dered by Governor Glynn on the eve
of the recent elections that Sullivan
frequently went and came almost at
will while supposed TO be serving a
hard labor sentence. Cropsey is con-
vinced Sullivan's trips outside the
prison walls were FOR the purpose OF
protecting for himself the $1,000 900
he is alleged TO have put by.
With this belief. Cropsey planned TO
call as the first witness today Miss
Louise ID, Burkhardt, Sullivan,s pri.
vate secretary. who. until Saturday,
eluded every effort Of Cropsey's men
to subpoena her. On Saturday the
hunt grew hot and Miss Burkhardt
voluntarily appeared. but Cropsey re-
fused TO hear her. He served her with
subpoena instead. to tell today what
she knows OF Sullivan's financial con-
dition.
District Attorney Cropsey's men to-
day were searching for Mrs. Sullivan,
wife OF the convict banker, and Thos
J. Mccormick. who was removed from
the wardenship OF Sing Sing on the
findings OF an Investigation into Sui
livan's automobile trips.

WASHINGTON, Nov. -9.--Extension
OF the livestock quarantine for the
foot and mouth disease TO Rhode Isl
and, making IL states under surveil-
lance, was in prospect today. De-
partment of agriculture reports were
that one or two suspected cases had
Len discovered in Rhode Island. Ban
upon interstate shipment OF livestock
fro mthat state, II was understood
would affect principally the Boston
market. Rhode Islands commerce in
stock, however. is small, and confined
almost exclusively TO dairy cattle.
Secretary Houston admitted today
that the present epidemic Is the most
widespread and severe OF FIVE former
outbreaks. However. II was stated
that mortality so far from the disease
strution by health officials OF infected
stock In the Chicago yards has been
the principal item Of the death toll.
Prevention Of spread Of the disease
In the middlewest is occupying large
numbers Of federal and other agents.
Herculean efforts are being made TO
confine the disease east OF the Missis-
sippi river, to prevent its gaining a
foothold in the livestock raising and
feeding sections OF the western corn"
and praisie states.
While the Kansas City, Omaha, st.
Joseph, Sioux City. Iowa, and other
stock yards are left open, and contin-
guors states remain free from quar-
antlne department OF agriculture OFF,
cials express belief that packing
houses in the western belt" can pre-
vent q meat shortage.
