WEEKS CERTAIN
OF CABINET JOB
Springfield Story Says Harding Is Anx,
ious to Make Him Secretary
of Navy.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass: Jan: IS
Former Senator John W. Weeks is prac-
tically sure of place in Harding's cabi-
net Harding would like to see Weeks
secretary of the navy for several reasons.
On the other hand there are those who
believe Weeks is especially fitted to be
secretary of the treasury, and this post is
a possibility for the Bay state man. This
information was obtained on reliable au-
thOrity yesterday.
If Weeks enters the cabinet, and those
who are in position to know are conf
dent of this communication, 1t is likely
that he Will not resign as national com
mitteeman from this state. This would
disappoint good many folks whose eyes
are on the job, but it remains the proba-
bility today. 1t is pointed out that Weeks
faces no legal obligation to prevent him
from holding both posts. Furthermore, il
is said that there stands out no precedent
for REIMBURSEMENT of his committee posi-
ton on entering the cabinet.
Charles III. Innes of Boston is credited
with entire willingness to succeed Weeks
as committeeman. The name of former
Gov. John l.. Bates has been mentioned
for the position, as have been the names
of others. Those who see in Mr.. Innes q
menace to right leadership are certain that
Mr.. Weeks would never give the former
chance to succeed him should Innes BIZ
able to collect the votes. But aside from
this it is asserted that there is every rca
son for Weeks to hold both jobs.

BROWNS ARREST
NOT EXPECTED
Sensation Caused by Charge
Against Former Bank
EmplOye
STOUTLY MAINTAINS
HIS INNOCENCE
Complaint Sets Up That Barre Young
Man Embezzled Money from Rowland
Bank Week Before Concluding His En-
pIoyment There in May of Last Year.

BARRE, Jan. 13.-ComiEg so soon
after the conviction of President Frank
c. Rowland for embezzlement, the ar
rest yesterday on a similar charge of
George \. Brown, former clerk of the
Barre Savings Bank & Trust Co, has
caused a fresh sensation in this city.
Brown, it is understood, stoutly main
tanned his innocence of the charge when
arrested by Deputy Sheriff II. J. Stay
ton, and announced that he would fight
the accusation. He was not asked to
plead in the case; nor was there formal
arraignment of the respondent when he
appeared before Judge Scott in the lat
ter's offices in the Rowland block. Brown
was not accompanied by an attorney,
but it is understood that he will be repre-
scented by Attorney J. Ward Carver in
whatever proceedings may follow.
The respondent asked that bail be
fixed pending the formal arrangement,
and Judge Scott set the amount at ST.
900. which was furnished by the respond
ent's brother, James A. Brown. of Barre,

in the shape Of securities, after which
the respondent was released from Gus
tody. States Attorney E. r. Davis, on
whose complaint the arrest was made,
represented the state in the preliminary
proceedings and Will prosecute the case.
The states attorney was busy in probate
court matters today. and a date for
hearing on the accusation has not been
named.
Brown has lived in Barre practically
all his life, having been born in this
city 81 years ago. He was employed in
bank in st. Johnsbury prior to coming
to the Barre Savings Bank & Trust Go.
three years ago. That employment in the
Barre bank continued until May 10,
1920.
The complaint sets up an embezzle-
ment on May Z, 1920 After leaving
the Barre Savings Bank & Trust Co. he
became employed, in the Barre branch
of the Wells Richardson Co. of BurIing-
ton and later, after the Barre branch
was closed, he went to the home plant
in Burlington. In the warrant his Oc-
cupation was given as assistant super
intendent.
The complaint filed BY States Attor-
ney Davis follows the usual form and
reads that George a. Brown then and
there being the clerk, agent and serv-
ant of an Incorporated bank, to wit, the
| Barre Savings Bank 4 Trust Co, 4
| banking corporation organized under and
! by virtue of the laws of Vermont having
| it's principal place of business at the

| ity as such clerk, agent and servant, re
ceive, collect and hold notes, bills, obi
cations, moneys and securities belonging
| to the said Barre Savings Bank & Trust
! Co. and that at the city of Barre afore
! said on the day aforesaid the said George
/ A. Brown did then and there embezzl,
! and convert to his own use certain
money, to wit, the sum of 50, 1T2.07, ther
/ and there belonging to the said Barre
Savings Bank & Trust Co"
In his capacity as clerk in the bani
Browns duties had to do with the hand
! ling of the commercial. or checking &C
! counts of the bank. The charge made
! by the state is understood to be that
! Brown drew checks on his personal &C
count in the bank and that when those
checks came back to the bank for pay
| ment he Brown would charge then
up against the bank and would not en-
| ter them against his personal account
| thus throwing his personal account and
| the bank account out of balance and re
vealing the alleged embezzlement.
The receiver of the bank. George L.
! Carpenter, is still engaged in going over
! the accounts of the institution, which
was closed on Nov. %. 1920. and will
not be able to make any report for some
| time. 1t is said that a representative
of the Wood detective agency of Boston
! f. c. Brown, has been in Barre. having
/ been called in connection with the affairs
