Hints at possible Sensations in the

fact that special writer's have been
sent here from other cities to furnish
detailed reports of every feature of
the case bears witness to the atten-
tion the controversy between the Riggs
Bank and the government officials has
aroused in other communities of the
country.
Riggs Bank Commended.
The Riggs Bank has received more
than 500 letters and kilograms from all
over the United States announcing the
sympathy and moral support Of other
financial institutions. Telegraph boys
enter the bank building in streams
bearing such messages

Former Senator Bailey.
Attorney for Riggs Bank.
Denies Politics in Suit

Denying that there are any political
considerations behind the fight of the
Riggs National Bank on the controller
of the currency and other Treasury
officials, former Senator Joseph W.
Bailey of counsel for the bank last
night made public statement in which
he declared that the Riggs Bank
stands alone in the effort 1t is making
to have an adjudication Of the powers
of the controller. as announced in The
Star yesterday. Mr.. Baileys statement
is as follows:
"a lawyer is seldom justified in max
ing public statements with respect to
any suit which he has instituted
which he is defending, but I feel
obliged to enter my formal and en-
phatic protest against the very obvi-
Gus attempt which is being made to
give political significance to the case
Of the Riggs National Bank against
the controller of the currency and
other Treasur. officials.
Alleged to Be Agent of Others.
I'm certain parts of the country at
least the Riggs National Bank is rep
resented as merely the active agent of
other banks in a war upon the con-
trollers Office. and it is sought to OBJ
scure the legal questions by an appeal
to political prejudices. Under these
circumstances l think 1t incumbent on
me to say once for all that the Riggs
National Bank did not consult any
other bank In the United States about
bringing this suit, nor did the attorneys
for the Riggs National Bank consult any
other attorneys in the United States
about bringing this suit.
The bill in this case was prepared
by the attorneys whose names are
signed 10 it-myself and Frank J.
Hogan-and no lawyer other than us
ever saw the bill or any part of it
until it had been prepared.
Sued When Deprived of Funds.
The correspondence between the
Riggs National Bank and the control
| Iers Office demonstrates beyond the
shadow of a doubt that the officers of
that bank earnestly desired to avoid
conflict with the Treasury officials.
| and the bank did not resort to court
until the controller had assessed fine
of IS, 900 against it, ordered the interest
on it's bonds withheld from it., notified
IL that he had imposed continuing fines
of an indefinite amount upon 1t, and
threatened it in other ways. Under
those circumstances, the bank was
compelled either to submit to a depri-
walton of it's property and it's rights
| or apply to the courts for protection.
Every Bank Is Concerned.
1T is not at all singular that every
| national bank in the United States is
| deeply Interested in the case brought
| by the Riggs National Bank against
| the controller Of the currency and
| others, because 1t involves questions
which confront them almost every
| day, and which, up to this time have
| never been passed upon by any court.
| The decision in this case will deter
| mine how far the banks of this country
are subject to the arbitrary power OF
| the controller of the currency and also
| how far the controller of the currency
| is subject to the limitations of the la"
1 1t could not, therefore, be otherwise
than that the banks are concerned

Treasury officials or the Riggs Nationa

May Accept Riggs Challenge.

The Riggs Bank. in its letter to other
banks. has suggested that it is the
champion of the banks Of the country
in the issue raised. Partisans Of the
controller Of the currency suggest that
he may take up this challenge and light
out the issue on this ground. They de-
clare he is confident that american

that Withdrawals OF government funds
