 Hams and McAdoo

stk
 Washington. May 1o.-Counsel for the government today filed motions in the district supreme court asking the dismissal for lack of Jurisdiction of the suit of the Riggs National bank against Secretary McAdoo Comptroller Burke, charging them with conspirins to wreck the bank.
 The motions marked the first formal step the government has taken to de- fend its officers against the suit. To- morrow or Wednesday counsel will present to the court affidavits and ex- k:bits designed to justify the course taken by the officials in instances which formed the basis of the banks charge.
 Wednesday the case is scheduled to come up in open court.
 Three motions were made today " the government, one for each official sued. It is declared in each that the complaint Of the bank is directed at Eessrs. MeAdoo, Williams and Burke, not as individuals but officers CT the United States that the government alone is to be affected by any decree
  therefore. is one against the united States and beyond the Jurisdiction or the court as the government cannot be made a party to such a suit with out it's consent. The court also is ask ed to dismiss the suit on the ground . that the bank has an adequate remedy at law and not by seeking injunctions ir an equity court
 The motion on behalf of Secretary AIcAdoo declares that the banks com plaint stated no cause of action against him, since he "is not concerned with and has not powers, authority or Juf- isdiction" with respect to the imposi- ion by law of penalties 6 assess ments upon offending banks. The lank's complaint alleged that the sec retary had combined with Comptrollci Williams to prevent the payment so 'l.e bank of 5000 interest on govern lnent bonds deposited with the comp tl oller to secure it's circulation < For MT. Williams the motion said that the court has no Jurisdiction to review the exercise of the discretion lods ed by statute with the comptroller con corning the acts which the bank psti- toned should be enjoined.
 The motion for MT. Burke says thai the actions sought to be enjoined-his refusal to pay the bank the $500O bono interest-"are imposed upon him by law"
 The bill is signed by Louis D. Bran 6eis. Samuel Untermyer and Jesse c Adkins, special government counsel.

THINKS WILSON WILL DO THE RIGHT THING


 St. Louis. May 10.-Champ Clark, speaker of the National House of Representatives, in a message to friend here tonight in regard to the Lusitania disaster said:
 All American rights should be asserted forcibly and maintained boldly. Speaker Clark expressed confidence in President Wilsons ability to cope with the situation. Speaker Clark statement follows: Tn common with all others I regret exceed ingly the awful catastrophe of the Lusi- tania. The duty of looking into and act ing in. the premises devolves on the Presi- dent He has sources of information bet ter than we can possibly have. For one. n am willing to leave it to him to do the proper thing and believe he will do it.

NINETY-TWO VICTIMS OF LUSITANIA LAID TO FINAL RESTING PLACE

town. followed. The Most Rev Robert Brown, bishop of Cloyne. rode in a car riage
 The procession was full hour in passing into the cemetery. There sol diers guarded the walls as six other soldier pallbearers lifted the coffIns from the hearses and set them beside the graves. The three collins rested feside separate graves. The other S3 already had heen placed in three great pits-s5 jn one in layers two deep and F each in the other two.
 Just before the service started q woman rushed to the side of one or the huge graves and asked to have the coffin in one corner raised, This was oone. and trembling, the woman bent over and gazed at the face within it. Then she shook her head and turned away. Apparently she had not found the one she sought.
 Catholic Service First
 Conducted by Bishop Browne thc Catholic service was held first. The Church of Ireland service, that Is the EpIscopalian. followed and finally the ronconformist rites were performed. 4 s the last words of this service were spoken, the muffled drums rolled and the familiar hymn. Abide With Me, !" swelled forth.
 Sailors who had replaced the soldier pa1lbearers then lowered the collins into the small graves and simultane- oissly the earth began to thud on the ccffins in all the graves. The crowd. nearly all with eyes wet. slowly left, some to take jaunting cars, but most of them to trudge across the fields to the city. As they reached the crest of the hill immediately above. the hsr- Dor flashed into view and in 1t the flag on every vessel fluttered at half mast.
 No Americans, so far as is known. were among those buried today. .i few Of the dead were members of the LIs- ltania's crew, but most of them either were unidentified persons, including q number of small children and babes, or persons the financial circumstances of whose relatives forced them to be con tent withiinterment of their loved ot cs wherever 1t happened to be.
