fractional Struggle Between Dele

The factional struggle between the
delegates was in great part forgotten
when many thousands of persons greet
ed Mrs. William Cumming Story, presi-
dent general Of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, at her annual re-
ceptton in Memorial Continental Hall
last night Mrs. Story and other officers
of the society stood in line for more
than two hours shaking hands with
members of the society and friends, a
continuous line passing from the en-
trance OF the building through the Ii
brary and across the platform and then
out through the Michigan and New
Jersey rooms.
Those in the reception line with Mrs.
Story were Mrs. Mary g. Lockwood,
chaplain general; Mrs. Samuel Spencer,
Mrs. William c. Boyle. Mrs. Edward
Orion. Mrs. c. r. Davis, Mrs. George
T. Smallwood, Mrs. Charles Wesley

DENY JURISDICTION
IN RIGGS INJUNCTION
Lawyers Cite Supreme Court
on Discretionary Powers
of U. S. Officials.
EXPECTED TO ASK CASE
THROWN OUT OF COURT
Attorney General Has Authority to
Employ Counsel to Assist in Liti-
cation, It Is Held.

The expectation fs gaining ground
among those lawyers concerned. who are
conversant with the law. that the gov
eminent will ask that the suit brought
by the Riggs National Bank be thrown
out of court for lack of Jurisdiction to
determine the scope and limit of dis
cretionary powers vested in an official
of the government by law of Congress
That the definition of the discretionary
powers of the controller of the cur
rency is the legal issue in the contro-
versy is well recognized.
1T is too well settled to admit of
dispute at this day." declares a ruling
of the Supreme Court of the United
states to which attention was called
To-Day at the Treasury, that where
there is discretion of this kind con-
lerred on an officer or board of Of
hcers, and contract is made in
winch they have exercised that discre-
non. the validity Of the contract can
not pc made to depend on the degree
OF wisdom or skill which may have
accompanied its exercise"
This citation is from the ruling in
the case of the United States VS.. Speed
6 Wall, 1889. While it is concerned
with the validity of a contract enter
ed into by government official. exer-
cisinS discretionary power vested in
him. the opinion rendered by Justice
Miller in the case is the application of
a general principle, which, it is argued
by Treasury officials, indicates the in
competency of the courts to define the
scope an dlimits OF power of discre-
ton conferred in an official by an act
of Congress"
Questions raised today as to the legal
authority of the Attorney General to
employ special counsel for the defense
Of the Secretary of the Treasury, the
controller of the currency and the
treasurer of the United States in the
suit brought against them by the
Riggs National Bank appear to be def
lnitely answered by reference to the
statutes. There are a number of ap-
propriations that would be available
for the purpose.
Section 1853 of the Revised Statutes
authorizes the employment of special
counsel and the fixing of their com
pensation by the Attorney General to
aid United States district attorney
in conducting court cases. United
States District Attorney Lasky appears
as counsel for the defense in the pres
ent instance and was in court as rep
resentative of the government at the
hearing at which the government asked
postponement.
There are other appropriations placed
at the disposal Of the Attorney General
that may be applied to the employment of
special counsel, should 1t not be proper to
regard the United States district attorney
as nominally In charge Of the case. There
can be little doubt OF the authority Of the
Attorney General to make such arrange

HOPES CREW OF THE "a
ESCAPED A SLOW DEATH
Admiral Moore Reports Internal Ex-
plosion May Have Ended Lives
Of Twenty-One.

Hope that tho crew Of the ill-fated
submarine F-4 died quickly, escaping
the torture Of suffoca ton as tho vessel
lay at the bottom of Honolulu harbor,
is held out in a mail report received
at the Navy Department from Rear
Admiral Moore. Experts on tho scene,
the admiral said, believe the twenty
one officers and men were killed by an
internal explosion.
There is no positive information at
hand upon which to base q reliable
theory as to the cause of the accident"
said the report, but it is believed by
the submarine experts here that the
men in tho boat were killed by some
sort of internal explosion. They be-
lieve that had there been one man
left alive he could have made signals,
or blown the tanks and thus caused
the submarine to rise"
Since the report was written ten days
ago navy divers from New York navy
yard with special equipment have
reached Honolulu to aid in the efforts
to raise the F-4. Lines have been at
tached to the sunken hull. and 1T is
being gradually hauled into shallower
water.
