Daniels EXPECTED TO
REDUCE huff SENTENCE
Secretary Probably Will Start In
vestigation Today of Fight of Naval
Officer with Civilian.
ALLEGED BRIBERY NOT CREDITED

Secretary Daniels will remit that part
Of the sentence of Lieut. Com. Charles
+. Hun which calls for the loss of five
numbers in rank, and let him OF with q
reprimand only IL the views OF naval
officers stationed in Washington are ac-
cepted.
Lieut. Com. Hun was sentenced to re-
ceive reprimand, and to be reduced five
numbers in rank as a result of his strik-
ing ]. Philip Kiesecker, an employe of the
Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock
Company.
Officers familiar with the character
Of the work Commander Huff was called
upon TO do as inspector OF ordnance ma
terial for the new battleship Texas do
not credit the assertions made by his
friends that his encounter with Kieseck-
er was the result Of the company trying
to fix" him for his rigid inspections of
its work. They point to the fact that
neither Huff nor his counsel made any
serious effort to get these allegations
In evidence at the couTt-martial as proof
that the defense realized il could not
make out case on that basis.
No mention OF Huns relation to the
employers OF KieseCker was made be-
yond the statement by Huf's counsel
that Hnns loyalty to the government
was costing the company 5000 a day,
and this fact he used as the basis of
his argument that Huff was made of
the kind Of stuff that is wanted in the
navy.
Officers here who are familiar with the
Hun case express the belief that the
encounter between him and Kiesecker
was simply due TO the latters attentions
to Mrs. HUFF.
Upon the return Of Secretary Daniels
to Washington today it is expected that
steps will be taken to investigate the
Hun case further. Mr.. Daniels wants to
know what Commander Pollock. Huff's
meant by his statement regard
ing Huf's relations with the company
employing Kiesecker.
