SULLIVAN QUITS POST.
Minister'S Resignation, rendered b!
Request, Is Accepted by
President Wilson.

Washington, July 23.-James NJ. Sui
lisan, American minister to the Do
minican republic, has rendered his res
ignation to President Wilson and it has
been accepted. Mr.. Sullivan's resigna-
ton is the consequence Of an investi-
cation, conducted for the state depart
ment by Senator Pneland of California,
into the ministers fitness for his Of
fee. The findings were unfavorable
to Mr.. Sullivan.
Senator Phelan's report has been at
the state department and before Pres
ident Wilsin several weeks. Soon af-
ter it was received it became known
he had been asked to resign.
Mr.. Sullivan's brief term as minister
in the island republic was attended
by charges and counter-charges as to
his misconduct Walker w Wick, col
,ector of customs for the United tSates
at the island, resigned because, it was
stated, he had to work under unsatis-
factory conditions brought about by
Minister Sullivan.
Senator Phelan took testimony in
the Dominican republic and in the
United States, at which witnesses
charged that Secretary Bryan, in ap-
pointing Sullivan, had been consulted
by hnanciers associated with Samuel
NJ Jarvis of New York. who control
the Banco National at Santo DomiEgi
city, w ich was seeking deposits OF
customs dues collected by the United
States. Other witnesses gave testi-
mony to show that the minister was in
terested in securing contracts there
for other Americans. Former Gov
ernor Fort of New Jersey, and other
witnesses testified that Sullivan was
''big-hearted, good-natured and hon
est"
TIE report, which Secretary Lansing
announced today would not be made
public until next week, is understood
to sustain many of the charges against
Sullivan.

Rock Hill, Ju.y 23.-Isaac J. Nc
Fadden, one of Rock Hills good citi'
zens and held in high esteem by all
who knew him, took his life this morn
ing about 6 o'clock by shooting : i'm
self in the temple. He has recently
moved into his new home in Saluda
street, and it was in an clubhouse upon
the premises that his body was found.
His habit has been to work in tie
garden before breakfast. This morn
ing ne is supposed to have gotten up
about $50, though his wife did not
awake at the time. After making a
fire in tie cooking stove he went out
into the yard. Half an hour later,
when Mrs. McFadden had gone to the
kitchen, she heard heavy fall, and
upon investigation the body was found.
Willie no cause can definitely be
given it is supposed that financial
trouble attendant upon the present
stringent conditions prompted the deed,
as his domestic relations in all re-
spects were OF the happiest. He was
a most devoted husband and father
and a quiet man whose life was filled
with gentIeness. Mrs. McFadden, who
was Miss Mary Sitgreaves, survives
J. i'm with four children; the two sons,
Frederick Sitgreaves and Joe, are
about grown.

Washington, July 23.-According to
the best information which can be
obtained, it is the intention Of the
president and Secretary Lansing to
take up with Great Britain immediate
ly after the dispatch of tie third note
tc Germany the question of British in
reference with the sea rights of the
United States as neutral power.
Promises are understood to have
been definitely given that the griev-
ances of t:e beef exporters and the
cotton exporters shall be called en-
pnatically to the attention of the Brit
ish government as soon as this second
rejoinder to the Germans is 'out Of
the way" This is taken to mean that
the formal renewal of tie discussion
with Britain will take place within the
next fortnight.
The present plan is said to be that
there shall be addressed to Great Brit
ain, first of all, note specifically COM
planning of certain courses of her ad-
miralty, with regard to cargoes Of
American beef and cotton. T-is note
will be followed by a general protest
from this government against the va
rious particulars in which the cele-
brated "order in council" Of last
spring encroaches upon the rights OF
neutral nations to the use of the seas.
The general protest is believed to be
ready for delivery, having been writ
ten tentatively some weeks ago; but
tie president and lMr. Lansing are in
clined to let it follow the contemplated
separate protests against interference
with cotton and meat exports.
Ambassador Spring ng-Rice aas recent
ly made urgent representations to his
government that it would be advisable
to reach better understanding with
this country in such matters, because
serious feeling is being created by
| what is regarded by Americans as il
legal and arbitrary hampering of our
commerce.

Sharp Work All Around.

Information ! as come to the state
department, in such a way tnat it is
impressed with the seriousness of the
charge, that some of the american
cotton which has been seized by the
Britis.. authorities on the high seas,
and carried to British ports is being
re-exported to neutral countries in
Europe.
That is to say, instead of this cot
tons reaching its destination as the
shipment of an American merchant, it
gets there as the shipment of British
merchant. TIE state department has
either informed the British authorities,
or is about to inform them, that this
is all very kind, but we prefer to do
our own exporting of cotton.
Another interesting rumor is that
German merchants are providing
against the future by pure. asing and
storing in the United States large
quantities of cotton for use after the
war, in order that the manufacturers
of Germany shall not be at the mercy
of the market when it bounds up
ward with the restoration of peace.
The Germans fear an effort on the
part of England to corner the worlds
floating stock of tae white staple, and
point to the suggestion in English
newspapers that the entire forthcom-
ing crop of the United States be put
chased, so far as aGailable, by the
Br;tis.. government So far as can be
ascertained. there is rot more reason
to believe that this suggestion Will
come to anything than there is to be-
lieve that the United States would con-
sent to the proposition that Britain
should fix an arbitrary total Of cotton
witch may be imported by each OF
the neutral nations of Europe. Reports
have been printed that the exporters
of this country had themselves been
perfecting an arrangement Of this sort
with the British authorities, but the
information obtained in well-informed
quarters in washington is that there
is nothing in this story.
Avoiding Sidetrack or Compromise.
The general public is by this time
pretty familiar with tie fact that when
the second note to Germany was be-
ing formulated there was a sharp diff
ference of opinion as to the advisable
ity of dispatching protest simulta-
neously to Great Britain against Brit
ish interference with American sea
rights.
It will be observed that the admin
istration has steadily turned down all
suggestions of compromise to our
rights on the seas, no matter from
what source they have come. To have
Welded in any respect to suggestions
from Germany affecting our sea rights
under international law would have
put us automatically and unescapably
in the position of having to make sim
liar or equivalent concessions to Great
Britain and once once a proceeding
became established it would continue
until it became On endless chain, and

Deep Concern Over Mexican Situation.
Washington, July 23.-With commu-
nication with Mexico City cut for five
days since the reoccupation by Zapata
forces, and with agents :ere Of the
Mexican factions in ignorance OF mil
itary operations, the Mexican situa-
ton today again began to assume an
air of tension.
| Somewhere in the neighborhood Of
Pachuca, northwest of the Capital,
Gen. Pablo Gonzales Carranza army
is believed to be battling with tie Vii
la flying column" whose swoop down
from the north caused him to abandon
Mexico City. Cutting of cables and
telegraph wires has drawn veil over
this whole section.
President Wilson today conferred
with Red Cross officials and listened
wit. interest to reports that the Red
Cross had been hampered in its ef-
fort to extend relief to the needy civil
ian population of Mexico The presi-
dent told Brig. Gen. DeVol, general
manager of the Red Cross; Ernest P.
Bicknell, it's director, and Miss Mabel
! T. Boardman, not to be discouraged by
handicaps and to keep up the relief
| work, getting supplies into Mexico City
wherever they could.
P litical aspects of the situation
we're discussed briefly, but tie presi-
dent did not indicate what the United
States would do as a result of failure
of the rival factions to get together
for a peace conference in accordance
with his suggestion.
Although Mr.. Wilson gave his callers
tie impression that this government
has in mind taking some decisive step
later, he intimated that the military
situation at present made any imme-
diate action inadvisable. Much de-
1ends, it is believed here, on the out
come of battles in progress or impend-
ing. After the conference the Red
| Cross officials began to formulate
plans to continue t-eir worK.
State department officials await a
reply from Gen. Carranza at Vera Cruz
| 20 a message sent to him yesterday
Gazing his attention to the fact that
his forces violated the Scott agreement
for the naturalization of border cities
by the recent occupation of Naco.
There is apprehension also concerning
the situation at Nogales, where Gen.
ItMaytorena, head of the Villa forces, is
expecting an attack by Carranza's S
army under Gen. Gales. Some step
may be taken to prevent this impend-
ing battle, Nogales being regarded as
/ included in the agreement that border
towns would not be subject to attacks,
which might endanger the lives OF
American citizens.
The Carranza agency issued state
ment answering a recent assertion by
Gen. Devol that both Carranza and
Villa had been engaged in the exporta-
ton of foodstuffs from Mexico and
profting from proceeds of a heavy ex-
port tax. This charge was declared
to be false in so far as territory un-
der control of the constitutional gov
ernment is concerned.

in the Mexican capital have become
more desperate in the last few days
and a state of anarchy reigns here
There has been much rioting and .oot-

people are indefinite. The attempts OF

The isolated foreigners of all nation

ate situation Food and even water

Tomorrow night at midnight the

The new laws have introduced boot
Logging and persistent violation of the
liquor laws as q felony. Heretofore
they have been classed as misdemea-
nors. Fines or a jail sentence have
been the limit. Now the bootlegger
doesn't especially shun jail sentence
where he gets three good meals day
and plays cards and sings between
meals. To "lay it out" has been a
common custom. Given, however, the
discipline and hard labor of q state
penitentiary ii is safe TO assume that
laying it OUT will pail upon the layee.
It will be easier and safer TO hustle
jobs for the hand laundry at home.
Little by little 1t grows harder and

logging the plane Of least resistance to

Of a powerful and willing wife. And
now the legislature butts il to crush
the poor man down.

they do it.
