gecns and the police, was arralgned IN
Flushing police court yesterday on
charge of disorderly conduct. Early on
the morning of June 20 Police Lieu
tenant Edward F. Hayes found Sullivan
on the porch of the licutenant's home

; Hayes knew Sullivan didn't belong
there. and an argument followed that
aroused the neighborhood. Household
utensils clattered about the pair, and
somebody fred a revolver. The bullet
struck Sullivan, making thirty-six in
ternal punctures. His case was re-
garded as hopeless by the surgeons Of
St. Johns Hospital, Long Island City.
To their amazement he recovered and
to the establishment of Hayes and his
daughter the prisoner averred he had
gone to call on Miss Hayes, who had
promised to marry him, and that he
had fallen asleep on the porch. Miss

before. His case was postponed until

Letters Bring Heartaches
After Months of Silence
Long Delayed Mail from Russia Tells of Hardships and
Pleads for Ad-Anxous Exies Haunt
Custodans of Pile.

Up the stone steps OF the Hebrew
Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society,
at 229 East Broadway, an old woman
toled yesterday. In a weak voice she
inquired for some one in charge. She
had learned that thousands of letters
had been received from abroad, let
tiers that had passed the eye Of the
censor and been butilated by him. She
had a daughter in Russia whom she
hadn't heard from in nearly two years.
On a table were strewn the latest
letters from Poland, Russia and Ger
many. The little old lady was told
that if there was a message for her 1t
would be delivered through the regular
channels.
All day long they came-men with
long boards and battered hats, young
women with children in their arms,
young men still perspiring from their
labor, old women with shswls about
their thin bodies and wigs covering
their heads. Some OF them had not
heard from their dear ones since the
war started. Many were Whiting for
the word that meant a week of mourn
ing and year of saying kaddish in
synsgogues. But the big pile was too
huge to be searched for the compare
lively small number of supplicants who
passed in and out Of the building.

In one pile was a letter from father
to his son. He was begging for money

Washington, Aug 2S.-Mrs. Frank NJ.
Roessing, chairman Of the Congression-
al Committee of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association, will call
on Senator Owens soon to see what
assistance the organization can give

BRITAIN MODIFIES RULE
ON NEUTRALS' CHILDREN
Allows Two Months Grace TO
Choose Nationality.
fBy Cable to The Tribunal

London, Aug. 2s.-Notifying Consul
General Skinner that children born OF
neutral parents in Great Britain VIII
be given to the age Of twenty-one years
and two months before being obliged
to declare which country's citizenship
they wish to adopt, the War Once made
a concession affecting several thousand
neutrals in this country.
According to international practice
such individuals must make election
when they attain the age of twenty
one, but since the introduction OF COM
pulsory military service in Great Brit
ain, they have all been regarded as
British subjects, TO automatically
become soldiers on their eighteenth
birthday.
The reply to Consul General SKIN
ner's query will likely prevent nu-
merous cases Of hardship due to uncer-
tainty.
