Mr.. Page also has addressed note
to Sir Edward Grey, the foreign secre
tary, asking whether Mr.. Sullivan is
still in custody, the nature of the
charges against him and how soon he
is to be tried. 1t Is reported unoff

to London.
Mrs. Sullivan reported to the Ameri

slightest basis for the charge against
her husband. Mrs. Sullivan is under
the impression that he has been
brought to England. If so, it may be
difficult to identify him, as the pris

town were merely numbered. The
American officials are making every
abort to find Mr.. Sullivan.
