RIGGS BANK CASE
DRAWS BIG CROWD

Arguments Resumed on Motions to
Dismiss Injunction Suit Against
United States Treasury Officials -
Charges and Explanations in Order.
Washington. May IA big crowd Of
spectators. drawn as result Of yester-
days clash between Former Senator
Bailey and Justice Mccoy filed the
court room today at the resumption of
arEunzts to dismiss the injunction
obtained by the Riggs National Bank
against treasury esac,als.
Before sBailay resumed Samuel I'M
termyer,. forathe treasury officials. pre-
sented a bookkeepers affidavit that
there were 5000 transactions on the
books OF Lewis Johnson &. Co., bank
'rupt stock brokers, In the name of the
Riggs bank. and that checks were made
sometimes in the name of the bank and
at others in the name of H. n. Flather.
He explained the affidavit was reply
to the affidavit of the bank attorneys
yesterday. contending that if there were
any entries of stock transactions on
the Johnson books. showing the Riggs
bank sold stock, they were fictitius,

whether the processes of this court
have been abused" continued Mr.. I'm
termyer.
Frank J. Hogan. for the bank, ex-
planned that the bank itself should not
hold stocks shares. g"
There was only one inference to be
drawn. and that was the inference did
draw, namely, that if there was any
entry, no matter whether the Riggs
bank was the party at interest or not,
showing that the Riggs bank sold
stocks thru Lewis Johnson & Co., the
bank did not know that such entries
had been made"
The justice acquitted the attorney of
any intention Of deceiving the court.
Mr.. Bailey devoted his argument to.
day to the discretion of Comptroller
Villains in calling for reports. He
maintained that while he might call for
reports of existing loans. he could not
ask for listing of loans of fifteen years
ago.
THAT depends upon surrounding cir
cumstances." suggested Justice Mccoy
Mr.. Bailey, concluding his argument
declared the law fixing the powers OF
the comptroller, as construed by the
treasury officials, would be unconstitu-
tional in that it would require bank Of

against themselves. He based his
assertion on the statement that the
comptroller called for reports on
dummy loans, the making of which Mr.
Bailey said would be q crime.

scrupuious silence was maintained to-
ward the situation as between Austria
and Italy, the friendship OF the United
States toward both countries being
long established.
A few hours after the return Of the
president to the White House report
became current that he had offered his
services as a mediatoE between Austria
and Italy as he did 70 all the initial
belligerents at the beginning Of hostili-
ties last August. AZ tSthe White House
1t was stated that no step Of this char
acter had been taken.
Whether the president contemplates
such action Is known only to himself.
az he denied himself to callers thruout
the day. Some administration officials
think that the president should sug-
geet mediation in the case Of Austria
and Italy, others that he should not act
unless so requested by either of the
belligerents.

about why women should wear, As
they have been doing, furs In the
Summertime. And when the new
Winter fashions appear and it is
seen how singularly Summertime
and without furs these are-oh,
what a chorus will go up from
irreverent males! For the Winter
fashions are indeed rather Sum
merry"
Now, the Summer furs were real
iy a charming idea. 1t was the
abuse and eXaggeration of the
thought that made them sometimes
ridiculous. The light furs that
we're originally used for trimming
are not unduly warm, nor did they
look so. All animals wear their
furs in Summer, and they do not
have the appearance Of uncomfort-
able temperature. Besides that,
fashion, as have often said, is in
dependent of the ideas Of the
moment. If it were not, how could
there be new fashions? One Of its
strong factors is contrast. The
contrast idea in Summer furs was
particularly strong. And as long as
: it was really beautiful and not I'M
comfortable or unhygienic it was a
good thing.
What mean to say is that there
Isn't the faintest reason why women
shouldn't wear furs in Summertime
If 1t makes them more beautiful,
more attractive and Is neither un.
comfortable or unhealthful.
1t was abuse that made the
fashion ridiculous.
In just the same way there isn't
any reason why women shouldn't
wear revealing dresses in Winter If
the same rules are observed. or
course, the out.of-doors gowns
should be strong and warm A

superior to man. A woman can
bear extremes of temperature that
would send a man to a hospital.
She can undergo exposure-and ap'
parently thrive on it-that poor
weak man can not. This is an at
tested physiological fact.
Here Is one charming model that
shows the "lessening" of Winter
clothes. The wrap Of tulle falls
from the slender shoulder straps Of
the delicate corsage. Arms and
shoulders are quite bare. The dress
itself has the new train. Another
of my models shown here retains
the full skirts--the ''birdcage"
effect-and has square cut bodice.
With it is also the new train.
There is a touch of old-time
styles in this, and old-time styles
provide inspiration for still another

the short skirt being wired and
piped with black velvet and

MILITARY TRAINING.

The Packard Motor Car Co., whicK employs 5000 men, has fallen in line with the movemen of the national and state governments to promote and encourage military training among the civilian population. President Henry B.

It is ex- pressly provided that such leave of absence shall carry with it full pay for the entire period of military 1nstruc- ton and that the time shall not be de- ducted from the employees regular va cation.
 Auto Alters Habits of Men.
 Speaking before the Elmira, Motor club, Secretary of State Francis M of the automobile movement in this country none of the participators had any idea of the extent fo which me- chanicaI1y propelled vehicles upon the roads would alter the habits of man. kind, affect politics and social deVeI- opment, and introduce new and diff1- cult problems,
 '.CertainIy,,' said Mr. Hugo. none of them imagined even in their dreanns-and they were looked upon as mad dreamers hen-that 5 years afterwards there would actually be more motor cars than horse-drawn vehicles, or 95 per cent. of the former and 5 per cent. of the latter, on the streets of the cities; that the record speed of a mile in less than one min ute would be achieved, making the motor car the undisputed speed <f4 r,,-l<7 contrivance not only of animal 4rao- tieH, but also of rail traction, would Nbe seriously disturbed in 1915."
 Mentioning motor speed traps, MT. Hugo pointed out that they had been subject of bitter complaint among motorists because the greater part of energy of the police is devot- ed te timing motorists over a level stretch of road with open country on either side when progress even at a speed of 40 miles an hour would not be Of the slightest danger to any enc. 9~AG otorists generally declare them

selves said MT. Hugo, ito be fully in sympathy with the keeping of a careful watch at cross roads and dan gerous bends and even when driving through towns. for they realize that it is to their own interest to check sreck- Hess drivers who pass over such places at excessive speed. Nevertheless, they consider it unfair that they should be fined for driving over a stretch of road when there is no danger of any kind.''
 In his concluding remarks MT. Hugo spoke of a mum Der of problems affecting the administration of the motor vehicle law, urging the mem berS of the motor vehicle associations to sco-operate with the state and local authorities toward sane enforcement Der of ears now in usein this coun- try. MT. Hugo said that this is the Taoveme ent which was laughed at Is years ago when some people. called it, and which the American public then thought was going to be the pastime of a few idle rich men. 'The position of the autorn obile today" de- elared MT. Hugo. '1s the crushing answer to these critics, but as to the future no one can say to what. extent the al1-conQuering motor car will have still further demonstrated its superiority oyer other modes of traction. It is perhaps safe to pro- pheSy, however, that our streets will have become nearly horseless, our main thoroughfares dustless, and the last remnants of public hostility will have vanished.''
 Starting by Wireless.
 For the first time in the history of the automobile it has been demon strated that a. car can be started from a distance by means of the wire1ess telegraph,
 This was proved at the Indiana State Fair where the motor of a car was started every five minutes by a wireless spark from Indianapolis, five
 miles away,
 A complete wireless outfit consist ing of motor, generator, transform CTS. relays and other paraphernalia was installed in the show windows of the city sales rooms. This waS con- nected with an arerial on the roof of the building and by stepping the alternating current up from 110 volts to 16, 0GO volts the apparatus made it possible to send messages 300 miles.
 The ear on exhibition at the fair grounds was fitted up with a receiv- ing apparatus and the necessary au- to1natin switches and relays for | throwing an and off tAe electric cur rent of the starter and magneto. A@ automatic switch was regulated so as
