Justice siddons May Hear Case.
| 1t is probable that the case may be
assigned for hearing before Justice
| Siddone. as Justice Mccoy intimated
that tho crowded condition OF the
| docket in his court might initiate
| against an early decision of tho con-
| troversy.
| The ex parte hearing on tho applica-
| ton late yesterday afternoon was brief.
4 senator from Texas, and Frank J..
4 Hogan explained the purport of the bill
\ for injunction IN a few words. Justice
Z Mccoy appeared disinclined to grant
/ the temporary injunction. intimating
/ that IL the money were deposited In the
! Treasury the bank might seek Its re-
4 dress in the Court Of Claims.
4 Senator Bailey urged the difficulty Of
! getting Congress to appropriate for the
| payment of Judgment after winning
! In the Court of Claims, and asked the
| Judge to prevent the deposit of the
| money.
