fitness of James M. Sullivan to be min
ister to the Dominican republic. His
testimony today was offered to show
tliat Sullivan, without the knowledge of
the government at Washington and
without the approval of the Dominican
congress, had endeavored to pave the
way for negotitions of a $500,000 loan
for the Dominican government through
banks in the republic.
Vick asserted that W. W. Smith, sec
retary of legation, first told him of the
proposed loan, and that later a Domin
ican banker showed him a letter from
Sullivan which was sent to the three
banks in San Domingo city seeking to
open negotiations for the loan. A copy
of this letter was placed in the record.
It set forth that Sullivan had been in
structed by his government to arrange
the loan, that Dominican bonds would
bo issued to repay it and that the
United States w'ould agree to an ex
tension of the legal limit of the Domin
ican debt to cover the amount. The re
cent revolution brought the entire mat
ter to a close, Vick said.
Vick denied charges as to his per
sonal conduct made by H. S. Dickey and
supported by an affidavit of two Do
minicans. He discussed at length various
charges made against him in the course
of the hearings and denies that a min
ing scheme with which he was once
connected had “swindled fhe public out
of $6,000,000.
