IN proceedings begun in the District
OF Columbia supreme court by the
Riggs National bank of Washington,
u. C., which alleges that these officials
nave combined and conspired to wreck
that institution.
| temporary and permanent injunc-
lions to halt the alleged conspiracy
and to prevent the comptroller from
making what the bank charges are un-
lawful demands for special reports of
various kinds, are sought from the
court.
Temporary Injunction Granted.
One portion of the prayer seeks
to restrain John Burke, treasurer of
the United States, from payment into
the treasury of $4,000, declared to be
due the bank as interest on $1,000,OOO
or United States bonds deposited with
the comptroller against its note circu-
latlon. This interest was withheld
to cover penalties Of 500 day for
failure of the bank to make certain
reports.
Once paid into the treasury, only an
act OF congress could get the $4,000
out, and Justice Mccoy granted a tenn
porary injunction on this phase of
the case.
The justice then set April Is as the
day for answer by the defendants to
show cause why permanent injunc-
tons should not be issued.
Questionable Tactics AIIeqed.
The banks bill OF complaint covers
eighty-six typewriter pages and con.
tains thirty-seven specific allegations
designed to show that the comptroller
has adopted unusual and legally ques-
tionable tactics in dealing with the in.
stitution. 1t recites that evidence of
an unusual desire for information con.
corning the bank was shown by Mr..
Williams shortly after he assumed
