RIGGS BANK HEARS
MANY COMPLAINTS

White House Denies Story That

Over Controversy.

Replies received from all but twenty Of

numbering from five to six hundred, to
whom accounts of the controversy be-
tween the Riggs National Bank and the
controller of the currency and other
Treasury officials were sent by the Riggs
Bank, are to the effect that the banks Of
the country. generally, are up in arms
against the Office Of the controller. with
openly expressed disa1ection toward that
official sweeping over the United States
like a prairie fire.
The prediction was made today in a
letter received in Washington from an
official Of the American Bankers As
ISOLATION that unless the wrongs
which the Riggs bank alleges 1t has
suffered at the hands of the controller
are rfghted the federal reserve system
will be wrecked.
To Take Up Controversy.
Letters are reaching the officials of
the bank in every mail from directors
of banks all over the United States
showing that the controversy is to be
taken up at bankers conventions and
in barking organizations everywhere.
1T vas said today that the Riggs
bank officials now believe that their
troubles in connection with the Treas
ury Department are small and insig-
nificant compared with the big ques-
ton which the banks are believed to
be preparing to take up generally
namely, the whole future OF the Amer
lean banking system.
The positive statement was made to-
day that the attitude Of the banks Of
the country and their directors per-
sonal letters sent to Washington in
connection with the Riggs bank con-
troversy show that the federal reserve
system and the whole American bank
Ing system may become involved In
the controversy.

BY NO MEANS NEW DISCOVERY
Ancients Were Well Aware of the
Value Of Perfumes in Treatment
of Diseases.

1t was recently announced, as a
discovery in medical science, that
nausea, after surgical operation
under ether, could be prevented by
patients inhaling a favorite perfume.
This may be new as a post-operative
treatment, but it is an old palliative
for travellers afflicted with NAL de
mer on land or sea, for train sick
ness is almost as common as sea-
sickness. Numerous headache col
ognes' as well as favorite perfumes
have been found efficacious as a pre-
Ventative of nausea at sea. Many
travellers find that even the aroma of
an orange or lemon helps them over
n threatened attack of seasickness.
One need not peel or eat the fruit.
The desired result can be secured by
merely scratching at the skin and thus
liberating its aromatic essence
History states that perfumes were
used by the ancients both as medic
aments and as instruments of injury,
SO it would appear again that there
is nothing new under the sun" Ger
tain groups of colognes have peculiar
effects; for instance, the fruit essences
by blending produce the odor of any
fruit. Their use is inhibited by the
fact that they irritate the respiratory
organs, producing coughing ana head
aches. Other perfumes have sedative
effects, and their use is recommended
for nervous people. The employment
OF perfume as preventive of nausea
would therefore seem to be merely a
variation of the principle of using col
ors in the treatment re peculiar all.
