ANSWERS BANKS CHARGES
Secretary McAdoo and Comptroller
Williams Tell Their Side of Case.

Williams Tell Their Side of Case.
Washington-Secret McAdoo and
Comptroller Williams filed in the
district supreme court this week an
answer to the injunction suit brought
by the Riggs National bank charging
them with conspiracy to wreck the in
stitution. Their answer is sweeping
denial of all the banks charges.
Both officials presented long affida-
Wits that they did not combine nor
conspire to injure the bank, that their
actions, which were set forth as
ground for the banks charge, were
taken in the exercise of proper discre-
ton and because of conditions and in
cidents in connection with it's manage
ment, the connection and sometimes
the lawfulness of which they ques-
toned.
UIterior Motives Charged.
Secretary McAdoo in his affidavit
makes this counter charge:
Il charge and aver the fact to be
that my inclusion in the suit is due
to Interior and improper motives and
resorted to solely for the purpose OF
thereby uttering and publishing gross
| ly false and libelous statements I'M
der the privilege and protection of jul
accountability that would otherwise
be involved"
| Mr.. Williams in his sworn state
ment says examinations of the Riggs
bank by his office disclosed violations
of the national bank act, that it was
not SO much commercial bank as
one which lent much money on stock
collateral which was used in specula-
tive ventures; that some of its offic-
ers and directors made false state
ments under oath; dummy loans some
times were made, the proceeds of
which went to the officers; that some
officers were engaged in real estate
transactions, and that other things
were done beyond it's powers.
obeyed Law, Says Hurk.
John Burk, treasurer of the United
States, the third defendant, submitted
an affidavit relating to the retention
by him of $4,000 interest on govern.
ment bonds of the Riggs bank, de.
posted with the treasury to secure
It's note circulation. Mr.. Burk said
he acted In accordance with law.
A number of tables and other sta.
tistics and data we're submitted with
the answers. One gives list of loans
by the bank to former secretaries OF
the treasury, assistant secretaries, a
former comptroller of the currency
and national bank examiners. The
names of Leslie M. Shaw, William
B. Ridgeley, L. A. Coolidge and others
appear In the list.
Secretary McAdoo said in his an
swer that he has nothing to do with
the penalties assessed by Comptroller
Williams, which the bank seeks to en-
join, and that he knows of only two
reasons which might cause the bank
to be hostile to him. One was that
he refused one of its agents a desk
in the comptroller's office and the
other was that he charged interest
on government deposits. He with
drew government funds, he says, be
cause he believed they should be in q
bank doing more commercial bust

A LONELY YOUNG GIRL
Dear Miss Lfbbey:-

Dear Miss Lfbbey:-
 I am a girl of sixteen. Mother died when was child. I have mamma No. 2. My parents have money, but will not spend a cent on my educa- ton. A young man likes me who has been engaged to two other girls and another young man who called on me a few times has started fa1sehoods about me, which has almost killed me lest be looked down on everywhere I go, and my heart is so heavy. sometimes wish could go to mamma, for there I know I would not be talked about. Can you say a few cheerful words?
 ME.
 Your father should take steps to call the slanderer to account without loss of time. In small villages, the most careless word or thought1ess act is often magnif1ed into a meaning which was never intended to be conveyed. At sixteen a, girl is really too young to bother her head and heart over lovers, and above all a man known to be hckle. Make friends with girls of your own age, exchange visits with them, read nice books. If you, give way to discouragement at sixteen life Will be dreary enough for you at twenty-six and older. One girl whose case was very much like yours wrote me she bought 8 joke book and read it over and over. The effect was mag ical-laugT1ter gave place to sighs. Try it. The clouds must pass away, dear little girl
