Finance Commission Hearing Proceeds Amid Sullivan Case Turmoil
As adjournment neared Attorney Dowling said the evidence would finish in half a day, with hearings resuming Monday. The panel pressed the Andrew R. Sullivan strand as Daniel Sullivan testified he had telephoned his brother but denied knowledge of such exchanges. Gartland faced questions on sightings and a $2000 bet over synagogue property sales while Bailen and Finkelstone gave conflicting accounts about council discussions. Miss Herlihy and Brickley clashed over vote influences and a cash deposit, and Scharton described a dubious $400 payment tied to a loan. The day closed with Gartland recounting prior references to Sullivan and adjournment set for 2 p.m. Monday.

Quotas Filled By Italian Immigrants At New York
Immigrants from Italy will not be admitted until after June 30, 1923. About 1456 passengers on the Giuseppe Verdi and Conte Rosso exhausted the yearly quota and entered under preference rules, with the ships arriving in waters just after midnight. The month’s quota was split, the Verdi 159 over and the Rosso 196 over.
