LONDON. May 4. James M. Sullivan, of New York, formerly American Min ister to Santo Domingo, has been ar rested in Dublin on the charge of com plicity In the Irish rebellion. air. sullivan was arrested by the military authorities of Dublin on April 30. Relatives in Ireland wrote on May 1 a letter which has Just been received by Walter Hines Page, the American Ambassador, who addressed a note to Sir Edward Grey asking full informa tion as to whether Mr. Sullivan was still in custody, the nature of the charges and how soon he would be tried. Stay in Ireland Extended. It is understood here that Mr. Sul livan has been in Ireland for a consid erable time, having arrived there shortly after the severance of his con nection with the State Department. Mr. Sullivan sailed from New Tork last July for Liverpool with his wife and son. saying he was going to Lim erick. Ireland, to visit his mother. He eaid he expected to be back in New York by September 13. Shortly before he sailed Mr. Sullivan was virtually asked to resign his post as Minister to the Dominican Repub lic, as the result of an investigation conducted by a. commission headed by Senator Phelan of California. Testi mony taken by the commission during its investigation into Santo Domingo was to the effect that the Minister was interested in contracts in which other Americans were concerned. No evi dence was found that he had profited. Indiscretions Are Found. "The commission appointed by the State Department found he had been guilty of indiscretions which unfitted him for his place. On July 23 it was announced that he had resigned. Mr. Sullivan had been a lawyer for Jack Rose, one of the gamblers in the llosenthal murder case. His appoint ment generally was credited to ex-Secretary Bryan, who. in looking for a place for him, wrote Receiver-General Vick in the Dominican Republic, ask ing "what positions you have at your disposal with which to reward deserv ing Democrats." Mr. Sullivan was exonerated once by Secretary Bryan. but tho .charges against him would not down, and a second investigation resulted In his resignation. Mr. Sullivan was born in 3.illarney. Ireland, in 1S73. -WASHINGTON. Mav 4. Late todav Mrs. James M. Sullivan, who Is in New York, asked the State Department to iooK into her husband a- case. J'ELEASl" TO BE DEMANDED Leaders in New York Will Appeal to State Department. NEW YORK. May 4. Leaders of the cause of Irish independence in this city united tonight in declaring tlat every effort will be made to bring about the release of James M. Sullivan, arrested in Dublin. They arc convinced, thev aid, that he took no active part in the preparations for tho recent revolt, and base their opinions on letters recently received from him. The State Depart ment, it was asserted, will be asked to Intervene, because of Sullivan's Ameri can citizenship. "Of course," said a representative of John Devoy. editor of the Gaelic Ameri can, "Sullivan took & sympathetic in terest in the cause of Irish freedom. 3Ie made no secret of his beliefs and un ins reputation as an orator in nis irerjuent lectures on the subject in various sections of this country." . v - . x .

CIVILIANS LEAVING METZ es of German Move Is Received in Amsterdam. LONDON. May 4. Reuter's ' Amster dam correspondent telegraphs that information, which is regarded as trustworthy, has been received here that Metz is beins evacuated by the . civil population. Metz. the capital of Lorraine and a city of about 60.000, is rated rs one , of the strongest fortresses of the world. It is about 15 miles north of the fighting line and 40 miles east of ,1 cruun. LONDON, May 4. O'Reilly, one of the rebel leaders, is believed to have been shot while attempting to escape from the Dublin postoffice. according to the Dublin correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph Company, who, telegraphing on Wednesday, says O'Reilly's body has been found in Moore Lane, near the postoffice building. There were some disturbances in the southwest of Ireland Tuesday, in which some casualties occurred, the corre spondent adds, but the rest of the coun try is quiet. Further captures of Isolated enlpers occurred today in the outlying quarters of the capital and orders were issued by Major-General Sir John Maxwell that any rebels found with arms should be severely dealt with. , Very few shots have been heard in the city since Tues day evening. Everybody is asking what has become of John McNeil, the local organizer of the Sinn Feiners. who ap pears to have disappeared from Dublin with the firing of the first ohot. In several parts of Ireland the Sinn Fein organization did not take part in the outbreak, but as they possess huge quantities of arms and ammunition they are being closely watched. Orders were issued today demanding mat mey im mediately surrender all tneir arms, ana In case they do not comply very eui- cient steps are to be taken against them by the military authorities, ine latter are aware that for two years past Ire land has been turned into a gigantic arsenal by persons who had no right to possess arms.

The Hollls farm loan bill, embodying the Admin istration plan for establishing a system of rural credits, passed the Senate to day. The bill, after almost two weeks of debate, passed the Senate practically as reported by the banking cemmlttee. An amendment by Senator Smoot reducing the salaries of the farm loan board from $10,000 to $7500, which was adopt ed by a vote of 26 to 25 In the commit tee of the whole, was reconsidered when the bill reached the Senate and was defeated 29 to 31. although eight Democratic Senators voted with the Re publicans for the reduction. ' Home to Be lrt:ed to Act. A somewhat similar bill has been re ported by the House banking commit tee, and it is said will be brought up for consideration in the House soon. Like the Senate measure, it would create a chain of farm-loan banks, but it differs in means of operation. -The Senate bill provides for a non partisan farm-loan board to consist of the Secretary of the Treasury and four others, having' general control of a farm-loan system of 12 or more land banks, and of farm-loan associations through which loans actually would be made. Each land bank would have a capital stock of at least $500,000 to be sub scribed by the Government if not taken by the public The farm-loan associa tions would be co-operative, made up of 10 or mere farmers who would ob tain a charter for their district land bank. A farmer desiring to become a bor rower would be required to take stock in the loan association equal to 5 per cent of his loan; the association in turn would -take an equal amount of stock In the land bank, which would appraise the security offered and make the loan through the association. Profits to Be Shared. All profits would go to the loan, as sociation in dividends and thus to the borrowers who are shareholders in them. Loans might be on as long terms as 36 years and on the amortization plan, so that with each interest pay ment the farmer could ray a small amount on his principal. Loans would be limited to first mortgages and could not exceed 50 per cent of the appraised value of the land. The principal fight on the bill was directed at the sections exempting the banks and their mortgages from tax ation and permitting employes to be chosen without regard to the civil service. Both were defeated by party votes. Debate lasted more than a week on an amendment by Senator Cummins to strike out the exemption clause, which was attacked as unconstitutional but defended by Democratic Senators as necessary to evade the Irregularities in state taxation and Insure a uniform rate of interest to the farmers in the various states.

Mr. Lorimer said today that he ex pected to pay the poor depositors who lost by the failure of his bank in i year, and then to begin a battle tor re turn to the United States Senate.
