VOL. XVI. FINAL EDITION. ELIZABETH CITY, NORTH CAROLINA, MONDAY EVEMNC, JULY 12. liCMi. SIX TACKS. EX- SECRETARY I WEEKS PASSES IN EARLY MORN Had Been III For Some Time ; Never Recovered ' From Long March to Un known Soldier's Grave WANTED ARMY HUMAN Had L ong Fight With Con-, gresu, and Served at* Sec retary of War at Partieu ' larly Crucial Time i , ?T Lancaster, N. H.. July 12. ? j itohn Weeks, Secretary of War un- ! dsr? Presidents Harding and Cool-i idge, died here at hid sunuuer I home. Mount Prospect, at 3 o'clock Standard time this morning. ,D?ath came from angina pec- I toria and followed a long fight for I health. Mr. Weeks died without recovering consciousness from the j coma Into which he lapsed early Sunday morning. Mrs. Weeks, his son, Sinclair, and Mrs. John Washington Qardge, his daughter, were at his bedside when the end came. When Mr. Weeks lapsed into a cute of coma Doctor R. E. Wilder of Whltefleld, personal physician to Mr. Weeks, advised members of ?li? family that death wbh near and expectation was slight that the former Secretary could throw j off its spell. Announcement of his death i came to The Associated Press by Mr. Weeks' son shortly before C o'clock. It was generally assumed in the ?vent the Republican party won National elections of 1921 that John W. Weeks would be a mem ber of Prealdent Harding's cabinet. His selection for Secretary of the Navy or Secretary of the Treas ury wan regarded as certain. His success as a financier was recog nised. His graduation at Annap olis and experience in naval af fairs had been recorded as fitting him for the Navy secretaryship. A big surprise came, however, when President-elect Harding an nouaced he would appoint Mr. Weeks as Secretary of War. From the time he was born on the little New Hampshire farm near Lancaster, April 11, I860, he apt In each stage of life an ever Bsent human viewpoint. Until he was 17 he was doing ore* on the farm, and taking a friendly Interest In the horses and other living things about the barn yard. His graduation at the cross roads school and local high school placed him soon afterwards In the *shool master's chair, also at a country cross roa0s In his native State. He continued studying and teamed one thing well- that a IJttle knowledge was not enough. , The then young school master succeeded at the age of IS In get ting an appointment to the Naval Academy at Annapolis, where he waa graduated four years later a ? tdshlpman. But two more yeara sufficed to kill what ambition then remained In the mind of Midship man Weeks for a permanent post la the Navy. He and a number of kfa classmates resigned. The rea son was two-fold. He failed per sonally to enthuse over the service M a life's work and Congress failed to appropriate funds for ?ow -ships st a time when there **? * Isck of vessels and a con sequent surplus of officers. .Incidents followed rspldly in the IMo Mr. Weeks sfter his reslg from ths Nsvy. Though he continued Intsrsat In thst arm of thai Mstlon's defense, ssrvlng as a *2S2it#*r dur,n* th* Spanlsh-Am erttto war, and later accepting a ressrve commission sa Rear-Ad ra^rat, he turned awsy searching for nsw fields and a livelihood. Mr. Weeks married Miss Msrths Sinclair and Jour a^M south, as a surveyor Mnd t land commissioner for mb* Florida Southern Railroad. WN* X?ari later, he returned to New England, joining partnership In what grew to be the thriving firm . of Hornblower A Weeks, baakers, of Hoston, Mass. One of the biggest financial establishments In that part of ths country thus wag as Id to owe Its success In a large measure to the genius of this then young man not long away ffotn the farm. He went to Congress In 19or?. ? nd Ister became Senator Weeks, succeeding Wlnthrop Murray CrStts. of Msssachusstta. He eerved In ths Senste until If It. sdding steadily la the mean time to his National prominence.

This In i H?* construct lou that will he placed on Mr. Coolldge'e uticouceuled at tempt In IiIh meat i ii ^ with newspaper men here to point with prhi?' to i he record of I lie CoiiKrcMii which adjourned ? week ago. There In ample evi dence that the President had In in I ml I he campaign which Is Juet beginning and l?> which the achievements of Congress are to lie debuted. Heforu leaving the National capital, the President let It be known that he thought Congreaa had done u good Job and ha re rotinied Home of the various plecea of leulslntion that had been passed. Ills praise of the work of Cow >-.rcss wum extensive. The fact that lie took occasion again after tha lapse of several day?. to point U> the work of Congresx. emphasis ing this I lino the leadership dU p laved In both Houses. Is In Itself significant. It is ex plslned by the official spokesman, on the other hand, that the first analysis of the rec ord of Congress might have bee* misunderstood aa an attempt on tin* part of the President to talc# all the glory unto himself, when as n matter ??r fart there were oth ers entitled to credit. This WW what led lo the complimentary ref erences to Senator Curtis of Kan sas. majority leader In the upper house, and Speaker Longworth ot Ohio and Floor Leader Tllson of Connecticut!. All three are up fop re-election thin fall. The "great tact and experience In parliamentary law" exhibited by Senator Curtis came in for especial praise. It being recalled, for in stance. that Mr. Coolldge an Vice* President leaped heavily on Mr.* Curtis, asking his advice fr*-# fluently when It was necessary to* decide front the rostrum important* quest Ions Involved in the Senate* rules. As for Speaker Longworlh, hi* leadership In the House WM "equally successful" us was that of Colonel Tllson of whom tha President suw a great deal maw i ha it lo- did of Mr. Longwort?. i bough thin was due to the fact that Mr. Tllson wuh In tfllpatli charge of steering legislation ???* at all times the President acted " wilh the advice ami concurrpnf^ of the speaker." * tf Then iia for the entire Congreaa Mr Coolldge couldn't see thai ftlt$-? cr body could have been batten conducted nor could be nee how more constructive legislation could have been adopted in the tin*, available for debate and action. ,i Ar. a parting thought. Mr. Coot** ? Idge was represented officially as unable to recall a time whan there was greater harmony be tween the exectltlvo und legislative branch of the Government.' tar Hi Inly. It wan pointed out, not slnre lie hud been President, had l here been greater harmony. ,Fqr he has been given the support df Congress on ull major Items. The very fact (hat Mr CoolldO wanted the leaders of the House to feel that he appreciated ihelr work aipl that lie was not quarreling with I hi in for falling to do a do*an i Ii I ii k h they might have fulled for one reason or another to get a<*? coinplished. Is characteristic pf President's desire lo ahow hl? Kocid will Inward the legislative body. The President does not tot-, i' ei that he came to WanhlngtO? an Vlre-presldent In 1920 when i he popular outcry was that Cjn cress was loo subservient to Jne executive and when the clamor whs for an Independent legisla tive body an of old. And Mr. Coolldge thinks It tfe worth pointing out that la alM vears time Congress ha* *?ttep back to Us original position of Co ordinate rank with the executive and he wants Congreaa and tlli. country to know he doesn't ^dp? grudge that assertion by Coagreee of its constitutional lndepende#Cd; , Strictly apeaklng. ^ howeyet*, when the record of t'ongreea la extolled It Is the record of the ma Conllnued on page 4 (MlTTO?
