SUIT AGAINST LANIER
Boys Father, Sued for $4,000,
Says Son Had Been Drinking
When He Married.
Bv the Associated Press.


ATLANTA, Ga. April 1S.-Mrs. Peggy
Lewis Lanier of Atlanta, niece of a
wealthy home builder of Huntington,
w. Va, confirmed dispatches from
Macon that she had withdrawn a suit
for alimony against her youthful hus-
band, Sidney Lanier, III, of Macon,
and another for $4,000 against his
father, DIR. j. u. Lanier. for aliena-
tion of her husbands affections, ac-
Cording to the Atlanta Journal.

conferences here with her husband
since yesterday at noon. and that he
wrote the kilograms withdrawing the
suits and she signed them at his
urgent request.
DIR. Lanier. father of Sidney Lanier,
III, was quoted in the Macon dis
patches as saying he would file pro-
ceedings to have the marriage of his
son annulled on the grounds that he
was drinking at the time and did not
know what he was doing.
Developments subsequent to the
marriage of Lanier and Miss Lewis

the south. The wedding took place
soon after they had attended the
Georgia Auburn foot ball game at
Columbus, and was kept a secret for
month or more, until the bride
made it known that her husband had
left for home Immediately after, the
marriage and had not returned.
Court action followed and she was
awarded temporary alimony some
weeks ago by the Macon courts in the
sum of $40 month. but Lanier has
never paid the money. Judge H. A.
Mathews, before whom the case was
tried, recently gave Lanier until May
IA to make payment. with the alter
native of going to Jail.

ASK SHIP BIDS,
LISTING IS ROUTES
Guaranteed Operation for
Number of Years Proposed,
But mo Sacrifices"

Bids for purchase of all passenger
and cargo ships on its register on a

period of years over prescribed routes
have been invited by the Shipping
Board in its final effort to convey the
government fleet to private owner
ship and operation.
In announcing last night the invi-
tation for bids, returnable by May 2S
the board gave a list of eighteen
routes into which the existing routes
have been consolidated as those which
would be given first consideration in
the sale of ships. The board. how
ever. it was said. was willing to con-
slider proposals for other routes to
be maintained under the same guar

on which they are now operating also
is desired, although the board would
permit transfers and selections from
the laid-up fleet.

period OF maintenance was set forth
in the boards announcement. While
officials OF the board would give no
hint as to what general price level
they would consider acceptable. they
reiterated that there was to be no
sacrifice at extreme bargain prices
The government on it's part binds it
self not TO enter into competition it,
self with the routes to be maintained
and to protect the operators also in
the matter of future disposal of gov

The consolidation of routes: as an
nounced followed recommendations of
a special committee of the board,
which the committee declared essen
tial to give operators a wider range
in securing cargoes. and to remove
restraints. which in the end would
defeat successful competition with
foreign lines.
