Owing to Volume of Charges
Filed by the Bank Officials
Hearing May Be Postponed

United States Attorney Laskey today
declined to discuss his rumored con-
ference with Attorney General Gregory
and Louis D. Brandeis. special counsel.
about the Riggs bank case. Mr.. Las
key declined even to admit that he had
consulted his superior in the matter OF
had been called into conference by him.
1t is considered highly improbable
at city hall today that a hearing will
be had in court Friday on the applica-
tion for injunction. The voluminous
character of the bill of complaint and
the broadness of the charges made by
answer to the rule to show cause is
sued against the Treasury officials.
The practice in cases Of this magni-
tude in the local courts is for counsel
to appear on the return day specified
in the rule. and owing to the crowded
condition of the motion docket to re-
quest the setting of special day for
the hearing Of the petition and the an
swer. Testimony Is not taken at such
hearings, but arguments Of counsel are
heard on the law points raised by the
petition, and response and a decision
reached as to making permanent the
restraining order or discharging 1t.
1t will not be definitely known be-
fore which Justice of the court the
case will be heard until Friday morn
ing. The motion docket of the Equity
Court Is prepared according to the
placing of notice on the motion book.
The motions are then numbered con-
secutively and the odd numbers are
assigned to Justice Mccoy and the
even numbers to Justice Siddons It is
not unusual, however. for one justice
to send a case to the other II for any
reason he considers he may be disuual-
flied to hear 1t.
Justice McCoy's Docket Heavy.
At the granting of the temporary in
junction Justice Mccoy expressed the
hope that the case would not fall be-
fore him because of the large number
of important cases now being consid-
cred by him.
Lawyers consulted today could not
recall any previous litigation of this
character in the local courts between

cials. The question, however. Of the
right of the courts to curb an abuse
or excess Of power by government off,
