MARRIED IN YEAR IN MARYLAND'S GRETNA GREEN
WEEKS IS SUED
BY BREWER

Attorneys for former Secretary
of War John w. Weeks are ex-
pected to file within the next few
days demurrer to delay action
on the suit for $1,1O2,o 900 filed yes
rerday ir the District Supreme
Court against Mr.. Weeks by Charles
b. Brewer. former Assistant At
torney General, in his name and
the name of the United States
Government.
The suit. papers in which were
served on Mr.. Weeks at Union
Station last night just prior to his
DEPARTURE from Washington for
Hawaii. grows out of war claims
made in the purchase of seven
Austrian ships by the Government
under the Wilson administration.
but not cleared UP until the Hard
ing regime.
Brewer claims that Mr.. Weeks
gave the then Attorney General
Harry M. Daugherty false informa-
ton relative TO the claims, and
that he signed an order which re.
suited in $550,00O being paid to
George A. Garden and Anderson T..
Herd, ship brokers, when such pay
uent was not due or justified. IN
der the law, Brewer asks double
this sum in his name and that OF
the Government, and an additional
50. 900 penalty. If the suit were
successful Brewer would get 1alf
this sum.
Mr.. Weeks made no comment

served papers in the suit last night,

his private car for a brief walk on
the station platform

the demurrer would be filed to, so.

to Honolulu could b9 continued. II
such action were not taken, he
would have to appear in person to
answer the suit within the next
twenty days.
The purchase OF the seven Aus
trian ships figuring in the case
cost the Government nearly $4,000
600, and Garden and Herd then
filed an additional claim for ST.
500 200. This was disallowed by the
War Department claims board. and
it is alleged Mr.. Weeks then con
. tinued negotiations which resulted
in the payment of $550.00O TO the
brokers.

DEBT PLANS

The Government is paying off
its public debt at the rate OF $780,
900, 900 annually. 1t was revealed
today when the Senate Finance
Committee made public the testi-
mony Of Secretary OF the Treasury
Mellon before the Senate Finance
Committee.
The retirement fund, maintained
under the new tax bill, will apply
only to half of the $40. 900 .000, 900
debt. which will be paid off by
July !. 1915. according to present
estimates.
The other half win be paid off by
foreign debt payments in 81 years.
IF the payments are made it was
asserted by Mellon.
Meanwhile, the new tax bill lay
on Vice President Dawes desk
awaiting the result Of the World
Court fight.
Mellon opposed the House surtax
rates---a maximum of 20 per cent
on an income Of 100000. He told
the committee the Treasury favored

He urged the Senate committee
