RIGGS BANK SUES M'ADOo
Charges Secretary With Efforts to
Ruin It's Business.

Washington, April 14.-The Riggs
National bank, the largest financial in
stitution in Washington, began legal
proceedings on Monday against Sec
retary McAdoo and Comptroller OF
the Currency Williams to compel them
to desist from alleged efforts to ruin
it's business.
Temporary and permanent lnJunc-
lions we're asked from the District OF
Columbia supreme court against these
officials. The bill of complaint alleges
that Messrs. McAdoo and Williams
have prosecuted the bank for more
than year past, eliminating March
30 with refusal to pay $4,000 interest
on government bonds on deposit with
the United States to secure the banks
circulation.
The refusal is alleged to have re
suited from a failure on the part of the
bank to make special reports demand
ed by the comptroller, the $4,000 rep
resenting penalty of $500 day
imposed.
