AN INQUIRY IS TO BE MADE
Franked Documents Said to

The Comptroller Of the Treasury. an
independent official who passes upon
all Government expenses and expendi-
lures. is likely today to be drawn into
the bitter controversy now pending IN
the courts. between the Riggs National
Bank and certain officials OF the
Treasury Department
Has the department the right to print
and circulate as a public document
mailed under a frank" portions OF the
court record In the Riggs suit?
From sources close to the plaintin
bank today 1t was learned that the
bank and its attorneys challenge the
propriety Of "franking" a record con
tanning the defense Of secretary OF tne
Treasury McAdoo and John sketon
in the Injunction suit brought by the
bank.
Question Its Validity.
The bill for printing this record. 1t ID
asserted, must pass the scrutiny OF
George r.. Downey. Comptroller OF the
Treasury, or his successor. and 1t Is un-
derstood a question IL to be raised az
to the validity Of tho printing bill at
the Government Printing Off,ce.
Bank officials and their attorneys are
indignant today over the "franked
circulation Of parts Of the court record
That Secretary McAdoo and Comp
troller Williams have mailed out only
their side Of the controversy Is al
legged: . -. p,~-. RANK and

ton williams. Comptroller Of the Cur.
rency. etc. etc.
"Interlocutory Decision Of Mr.. justice
Mccoy at the conclusion OF arguments

The gold shipment indicates that the

plan that the United States, in addi-
ton to placing an embargo on the

bankers to furnish the new govern

The Carranza agency in Washing
eSn Is beginning to issue caustic
statements charging American con
ports to their Government regarding

trolled by the constitutionalists. To-
day, for example. the agency issued a
statement demanding explanation for
what It alleged were false reports

In Form of Cablegram.
The statement was in the form Of a
cablegram to the agency from Jesus

inSton on July q that Consul W. w.
Canada, at Vera Cruz, had reported to
his government that eight Mexican
naval vessels were preparing to embark
troops which were coming into vera
Cruz from the interior. It is not under
stood by the officials at Vera Cruz how
Consul Canada could make such state

fortnight only one has sailed out Of the

the vessel which did sail only carried

ask you to print this brief explana.

Captain Edwin +. Glenn, U. s

This follows the convention Of
Brussels, article 10 of which provides
that inhabitants who take up arms

be- considered belligerents, ''if they
