WEEKS NAY ESCAPE.
Nothing Accomplished Toward Securing
the Defnmiter's EYiradItInn.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 7-Yesterday n cable
message came from Mr.. Baker, the United
States minister to Nicaragua and Costa
Rica, reporting that nothing definite has
yet been accomplished toward securing
the transportation of Francis H. Weeks,
the New York defaulter. to this country
The delay over the granting Of extradtion
papers is causing some uneRsiness in the
department, for the United States has no
extradition treaty with Costa Rca, and
can depend only on the friendly attitude
OF the president of that country towards
the United States
About the middle of last month the
Costa Rica president issued decree grant
ing amnesty TO all offenders In his prov
fnce with the exception of Weeks, and he
gave the United States forty days in which
to secure the extradition of the defaulters
This limit will expire in little more than
fortnight, and il extradition papers are
not granted in that time Weeks will be
free from arrest. 1t is believed that the
defaulter has instituted legal proceedings
ih the hope Of delaying action on his case
within tho forty days limit
NEW York. Oct. 7-R. G.. yelling, as
signee of the absconding lawyer, yester-
terday presented 70 the creditors de-
tailed statement Of Mr. Weeks' assets 1t
shows that the actual value OF the assets
are about 100000. The liabilities have
been estimated at 81 800 900,
