SULL|VAN'S RESIGNATION
ACCEPTED BY PRESIDENT
American Minister to Dominican
Republic Gives Up Post Fol-
lowing Investigation.

James NJ. Sullivan, American minis
ter to the Dominican Republic. has
rendered his resignation to President
Wilson and it has been accepted. Mr..
Sullivans resignation is the conse-
quence of an investigation conducted
for the State Department by Senator
Phelan of California into the minister's
fitness for his Office. The findings were
unfavorable to Mr.. Sullivan.
Senator Phelans report has been at
the State Department and before Presi-
dent Wilson several weeks. Soon after
it was received 1t became known that
Mr.. Sullivan had been asked to resign
and had been given a short time to con-
slider it, Today's announcement was
the result.
Charges as to His Conduct.
Mr.. Sullivan's brief term as minister
in the island republic was attended by
charges and counter charges as to his
conduct. Walker w. Wick, collector of
customs for the United States for the
island. resigned because. it was stated,
he had to work under unsatisfactory
conditions brought about by Minister
Sullivan.
Senator Phelan, during his investga-
ton. took testimony in the Dominican
anu III the VI nlIeu states, at
which witnesses charged that Secre-
tary Bryan in appointing Sullivan had
been consulted by financiers associated
with Samuel NJ. Jarvis of New York,
who controlled the Banco National at
santo Domingo City, which was seek
ing deposits of customs dues collected
py the United States.
Testimony Of Others.
Other witnesses gave testimony to
show that the minister was interested
in securing contracts there for other
Americans. Former Gov. Fort of New
Jersey and other witnesses testified
that Sullivan was big hearted, good
natured and honest.
The report, which Secretary Lansing
announced today would not be made
public until next week, is understood
to sustain many of the charges against
Sullivan.
