RESENTMENT CAUSE
OF RIGGS BANK SUIT
Samuel Untermsysr, in Argument For
Government Officials, Dsclarss Sew
sranee Of aTrsasury Bank Pipe Line"
Prompted Action.

: Washington, May l9-Concludlng ar.
guments on the motion OF counsel fol
the government to dismiss the tenfpor-
ary injunction obtained by the Riggs
National Bank, against Secretary Nc
Adoo, Comptroller Williams and Treas
urer Burke, were begun today before
Justice Mccoy in the supreme court OF
the District of Columbia. Samuel Un-
termeyer, of counsel for the treasury
officials, presented the closing argu-
ments in support Of the motion to dis
miss. He was to be followed by For
mer Senator Bailey, who closes for the
bank.
Mr.. Untermeyer argued that hostility
of the Riggs bank and the National
City bank OF New York, against Secre-
tary McAdoo and Mr.. Williams, was the
basis of the present suit. He declared
that the removal of pipe line be-
tween the treasury and the bank and
the withdrawal OF special privileges
aroused resentment, eliminating in the
legal action. in which Mr.. McAdoo
was not rightfully an active party and
he described Mr.. McAdoo's inclusion In
the bill as "wanton. unprovoked and
unwarranted"
He said when Mr.. McAdoo became
secretary of the treasury he was faced
with the problem OF high salaried
bank official maintained in an office
at Washington.
The secretary" he said. found that
in 1897 the new president Of the Ma
tional City bank resigned as assistant
secretary of the treasury and was sue
ceeded by the now vice president of the
Riggs bank.
= "It is well known that the National
City bank is q large lender of cal
loans on the stock exchange.
From 1898 to 1913, the National City
was receiving loans Of the United
States on deposit and paid no interest
At times from one tenth to one-fourtk
OF all deposits Of the United States
were in the National City.
When Mr.. McAdoo took office he
purposed to cut that pipe line and tc
use government deposits not to slim
ulate stock markets thru the National
City. but to serve commercial needs oi
the country"

COLD WAVE AND SNOW.
Fruit and Vegetable Crops Destroyed

Chicago. May 1s--cold weather and
| snow destroyed fruit and vegetable
crops worth thousands OF dollars In
states surrounding Illinois yesterday.
Only the preceding heavy rains arc
believed to have saved other crops from
destruction The cold weather is ex-
pected to last for forty-eight hours.
The cold wave has been on its way
for several days. Snow fell In many
places In lower Michigan. Farmers
and fruit growers said that only the
snow and rain that preceded II saved
thousands Of dollars worth OF crops.
Snow also fell IN Minnesota, the first
time in May since 1905. but no perma-
nent injury was suffered by the fruit
or small grains.
Appleton, Wis. had the heaviest late
snowfall since 1895. Only its heavf-'
ness saved part OF the crops. The
entire strawberry and apple crops are
believed to be ruined. The fruit and
We getable crops were reported seri-
ously damaged, Il not totally ruined.

Galveston, Tex, May 19.-Evidence
of distressing economic conditions
thruout Mexico is beginning to show
at Vera Cruz within sight Of General
Carranza's headquarters, according to
passengers arriving here fromN Vera
Cruz. The distribution to the po)r Of
corn resulted in the formation of a
corn line. where daily scores of women
and children wait for scanty supplies
doled out to them. Persons from the
interior have swelled the population Of
$4,000 to more than 100000. The feed
ing Of so many people, the overtaxihg
of the water system and inadequate
sanitation are giving Carranza as
much concern as his Efforts TO push
back Villa In the north.
The depreciation Of paper money to
q point where it sells at pesos for
one American dollar has helped to
make. the prices to the poor almost
rprohibitive.
T Almost all the bustle instilled in
Vera Cruz during the American occu-
rpation-the general cleaning up, kill
ing flies and mosquitoes. and activity
attendant upon American business
methods-has disappeared.
carranza Outlines Pans.
A reliable statement Of some of Car
ranza's military plans. coming from
Carranza himself, was given out here
today by an American who has just
returned from Vera Cruz. Reports are
current in Vera Cruz that Carranza in
tends soon to remove his capital to
Puebla and then retake, Mexico City.
General Carranza himself frankly
says he has no immediate intention re-
turning to Mexico City, notwithstand-
ing the moral effect this action might
have on foreign nations. His reason.
he says, is that the people OF Mexico
City are antagonistic to him; that the
city would require great garrison,
that Mexico City has no military ad
vantage: that in Vera Cruz supplies are
available from foreign countries and
communication from the outside can
not be interrupted.
Carranxa Secluded.
Recently Carranza was asked:
It is concluded that you are not
strong enough to noid the capital; that
you have sought port as a means Of
personal safety in case Of defeat, is
that true?"
II am not conducting my campaign
according to the views Of foreigners"
replied Carranza. The holding Of
Mexico City is an empty honor. It
has no value from military viewpoint.
We could take 1t If we wanted it.
when General Villa 10 crushed in
the north, Mexico City will fall into
our hands without our hghting for it."
General Carranza seldom appears in
public. Fortified in q lighthouse. in
sight OF the American cruiser usually
lying on the harbor. the first chief and
his cabinet remain secluded. Many
persons here commented on this ap-
parent aloofness as being q marked
contrast to the customs Of former
President Madero, Of giving audiences
to his followers.

IF in spite Of the German admiral

answer is in the negative, the United

women, but in many offices in the state
women take an important part in gather

business management of papers. Miss
Georgia White, who has been local editor
of the Randolph Herald Is years, has
resigned that position and will be sue
ceeded by the eldest son of the editor,
Paul w. johnson, a graduate of Dart

work has been of an exceptional class.
She has a keen sense of news values, a
faculty of covering her field thoroughly
and of giving a bright personal touch to
her stories of community life The Ran
dolph Herald has been a model country
newspaper and Miss White has helped to
put it in this class by rejecting on its
pages week by week the events of inter
est in the local field.

The check is a promise to pay hard mon

tination, however, it is scrutinized, weighed,
measured and tested for moisture by Il
bloodless functionary known as the credit

examining it for the pure food label. The
result Is that great many perfectly good

With Chautauquas in the summer
and liberal number of lecture courses
in the winter months, Orleans county
towns enjoys a kind of entertainment
that inspires, uplifts and strengthens
A particularly fine lecture course and
beneficial arrangement prevails in the
town of Craftsbury, where there are
three villages. A course comprising
six numbers and costing for talent
some 5000, is maintained and two num-
bers are given at each of the three
villages. In each village the place Of
meeting is a church or town hall so no
additional expense is incurred. The
course tickets are sold for an unusual
ly small figure and nearly the whole
Populace of the township buys and
patrOnizes the entertainments. This
appeals to the Monitor as an ideal
method of bringing really worth while
| talent into the smaller communities
| By keeping out local jealousies ant
lpiques many group of small towns
might cooperate and have a course OF

Checks are furnished by banks in small
books which enable the customer who owns
an adding machine and good memory to
tell at once just how much he Is overdrawn.
The bank also keeps track for him, and
sometimes its tracks do not harmonic
with those of the customer, who immedi-
ately concludes that the banker ought to
be learning the lock step at the expense Of
the state. This Is why so many bankers
who are we'll thought of at home cannot
get elected to the school board without

Checks have an open. care-free counte-
nance, and are raised with great freedom
and success by expert penmen who retire
from the vicinity at a high rate of speed.
This practice is being discouraged to some
extent, however, by the check protector,

FRIDAY, OCTOBER %, 1915,

The Hartford Coluant doesn't agree with
Senator Weeks in his advocacy of one
cent letter postage The Courant perth
nently calls it one of the cheap humbugs
of modern political agitation We have
one-cent postage already. That's all a
postal card costs, and it goes as surely
and as quickly as a sealed envelope with
q two-cent stamp. Any communication so
important as to require the secrecy of a
scaled letter must be worth two cents.
The benefit to any individual by reducing
letter postage would be too trivial to be
considered The only gain worth talking
about would be to large corporations
whose postage bill is really heavy.
