FILE ANEW BRIEF
IN RIGGS BANK CASE
Treasury Officials Insist Suit
Against Them Should
Be Dismissed.
CLAIM BANKS COMPLAINT
is NO LONGER EXISTENT
Court of Claims. Says Brief. Is
Place for Action to Recover
5000 Penalties.

y supplemental brief in the case of
the Riggs National Bank against John
Skelton Williams, controller of the
currency: William Gibbs McAdoo, Sec
retary of the Treasury, and John
Burke. treasurer of the United States.
was filed in the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia today by counsel
for the Treasury officials who are re-
sisting the application of the bank for
temporary injunction to restrain the
Treasury officials from Interfering with
the business of the bank and from
covering into the Treasury total penal
ties of $4,000 assessed by the control
lers office
The new brief. which contains fifty
seven pages of printed matter. sets
forth numerous reasons why, in the
view OF counsel for the Treasury Of
hcials. the banks suit should be dis
missed
Statute Provisions Cited.
The arguments go extensively into
all the phases brought up during the
recent hearing before Justice Mccoy,
citing provisions of the statutes en-
powertng the controller of the cur
rency to call for regular ind special
reports, fixing penalties for refusal to
comply with the requests made in such
calls, etc.
Regarding the $4,000 penalties, that
sum now being in the hands of the Treas
ufy omcials having been withheld from
interest due the bank on United States
ponds, the new brief holds as did counsel
ior the Treasury officials during the hear
ing. that this money, being the nronertv
OF the United States. is not to be recov-
ereo by the bank without recourse to the
court OF Claims. and the brief holds that
tnfs portion OF the banks bill should be
dismissed. Statements covering this nor
ton of the banks bill are repetitions con-
slderably condensed. Of arguments ad
vanced by Samuel Untermyer Iouis
Brandeis and Assistant Attorney General
Mccoy. 'us''ee
Dismissal of Bill Urged.
The new brief holds. further. that it
Is the courts duty to dismiss a bill for
an injunction where the object for
which the injunction was sought no
longer exists. This, 1t is claimed is
the status of the banks bill, as Con-
troiler Williams, by waiver of addition
al penalties. removed the ground on
which the bank based its apnea1 for an
order restraining the controller and
the other Treasury officials from fur
ther interfering with the bank and
from making demands for additional
reports.
Construction of portions of the stat
utes by counsel for the bank is oues-
toned by counsel for the Treasury of
f1ctals. who maintain in their supple
mental brief that the court must fol-
low the evident design of Congress in
enacting the laws. when the wording
OF the statutes Is capable, by reason
OF obscurity. of more than one con-
struction.
Several pages of the supplemental
brief are devoted to a history of the
revised statutes covering nationa |
banks and the manner of conducting
them.

TURKISH CAPITAL FILLED
WITH WOUNDED SOLDIERS
Ambassador Morgenthau, Appealing
for More Supplies, Says Authori-
ties Cannot Cope With Situation.

Wounded soldiers are arriving con-
tinually in Constantinople in such
large numbers that the Turkish au-
thorities there are unable to cope
with the situation, according to Am
erican Ambassador Morgenthau, at
Constantinople, in a communication to
additional supplies.
Mr.. Morgenthau, who is chairman of
the American Red Cross Chapter there,
reports under date of May that there
were then in Constantinople alone
more than 10000 wounded soldiers and
that more were arriving daily.
The Beirut (Syria) Chapter Of the
American Red Cross. which has been
doing admirable relief work of various
kinds since long before the war be-
gan, has recently equipped field hos
pltal and has a finely trained corps at
work.
Hospitals Filled With Wounded.
Since last wrote you," writes the
ambassador, I'VE have had our two
Red Cross hospitals in Constantinople
absolutely filed with wounded soldiers
There are at present 101 in the former
French hospital and fifty in the former
English hospital. (These two hospitals
are under the charge of the American
Red Cross.)
TN the city Of Constantinople alone
there are more than 10000 wounded
soldiers and more are arriving daily.
In the immediate neighborhood Of the
city-that Is. the suburbs-there are
about 5000. and the authorities are
absolutely unable to cope with them.
So that we feel greatly tempted. II
conditions remain or become worse. to
utilize one of the colleges, or perhaps
even both. when their vacation begins.
The authorities have already taken
their most important schools and three
of the Greek schools and converted
them into hospitals.
'The supplies you sent arrived Just in
time. The delay in their reaching US
turned out a blessing in disguise, for
had they come any earlier we should
have turned them over mostly to the
while now we have divided
the supplies with them and retained
enough to run our hospitals.
my wife Is keenly interested in the
matter, and is at the hospitals from Z so
am till IL o'clock every day.
