riggs CASE MOTION
TO BE HEARD TODAY
Court Will Hear Arguments Backing
Request for Speedy Trial
OF officials.

Both sides to the Riggs Bank case
are preparing for the contest in the
District Supreme Court to take place
today, when hearing is granted on
the motion of the banks attorneys
for the fixing of an early date for
trial of the three officials under in
dictment for perjury. A sensational
hearing is regarded as assured. mas
much as the argument will produce
frank discussion of the allegation that
Comptroller OF the Currency John
SHELTON Williams has practically de-
cided to refuse to grant a new charter
to the bank in place of it's present
one, which expires July 1, except on
the condition that the directors re-
move the two indicted officials, Presi-
dent Glover and Vice President
Flather. and also Vice President Mil
ton e. Allies.
The principal argument of the bank
ofhciais counsel as to the Justice of
granting them an early trial will CEN
ter around the suggestion that a de-
lay might work serious injury to the
bank. in that IT might force 1t to
withdraw from the Federal reserve
system unless II were willing to part
GERS. Indeed, this eventually is re-
garded as practically certain. for the
directors of the bank are said already
to have made up their minds not to
assent to the conditions fixed by the
comptroller.
The only new development in the
case yesterday was the statement by
District Attorney Laskey, in charge of
the governments side, that when the
suggestion fer an early trial was
made to him In January, the sugges-
tion was only incidental to a very un-
usual request on the part of the de-
PENDANTS, the carrying out of which
prevented. until February 4. even an
approximation of the time of the
trial"
Neither Mr.. Laskey nor counsel for
the defendants would dicIose last
night the character of the request
which the District attorney regarded
as SO unusual

LOVE AND MARRIAGE.

What means this bewildering array Of
marital confssions that are sweeping
over the land like q streak OF hysteria?
Is It another phase OF the woman move
ment? Does it give expression to the
feminine unrest which seems to actuate
all grades Of society? Does 1t mean any
thing nothing. or does II point a finger
toward that endless line which seeks a
refuge from these conditions In our d.
vorce courts?
What. after all, Is the trouble with
marriage? The question has been asked
and answered many times, but the tren-
chant truth has been studiously avoided.
We are taught that marriage is the ideal
state. Drinking this in century upon
century with our mother milk, as 1t
were, we have come to regard It as a
fixed and immutable law; but that most
OF us are disillusioned, and quickly and
continuously, we know, IL only by study
and, observation Of the expressions upon
thousands OF faces seen anywhere, every
where. The Joy, the happiness, that
springs from love alone Is not there; in
its place are all the indelible tracings
Of utter disillusionment

NEAR THE FIRING LINE

We left London Friday morning at
7 o'clock. Went by rail to Folkestine
and there boarded a transport across
the English channel. About three
thousand troops were on the same
boat. The trip across took about
ninety minutes. We were conyoved
by three of the new model torpedo
~distroyers.
Arrived at Boulonge, France, safely.
Were then driven by motor car to the
base hospital and started in to work
shortly after arrival. The wounded
are coming in thick and fast. Our hos
pital, No. %, controls about two thous-
and beds. There are many units here
besides ours and all together there are
about twenty thousand beds.
The wounds are the sort that come
from bursting shells, bullets and the
like that cause broken legs, heads,
large gashes, buried bullets and pieces
of steel. Many of the wounds are bad
ly infected.
The French towns and villages
around here are very old and quaint,
all are low and built of stone or wood
with stone or dirt floors. The people
are Of the peasant type-mostly fisher
folks. The country is very pretty and
we are located about two miles from
the sea. Not far from here is a train
ing camp with from forty to fifty
thousand sldiers in training all the
time.
The country is filled with nothing
but men in uniform, mostly English
but some French. Tonight a convoy
Of wounded soldiers came in-about
Two hundred, and at eleven-thirty about
two hundred more will arrive. Alto
gether there will be about a thousand
and we will get about four hundred.
This means that we will be busy all
night operating.
We all live in tents and will live
this way during the cold weather. Are
quite comfortable under the circum-
stances. A man comes for our boots
and pelts every morning and shines
them up and brings us hot water for
shaving. He also attends to keeping
our tent clean and neat.
We eat at the mess which is a lone
wooden building and is provided with
a %lounging room with a piano and
victrola. There are also all of the
leading periodicals that one would care
to read. And here is where we get
our mail.
We cannot disclose our location or
give the anne of nearby villages or
anything that might give information
to the enemy as it will not pass the
censor. My address will be % General

calmness, announced that she wanted
to go in the pictures" For a moment
it seemed likely that she was to be

was a certain St lething in her face
that attracted the attention of those
who were forever on the lookout for
faces which had that indefinable some
thing that stamped them as actresses
Of the screen, and Bessie was given
her chance.
The day after she had had her first
experience before the camera the plans
for Bessie were materially altered.
The little bit" she was supposed to
do became a decidedly big bit" and
they've been adding to the Importance
of Bessie's roles ever since that time.

one Of those who watched the picture
stopped to talk with a friend for a mo-

Half an hour afterward the friend of

who had watched the picture a little
earlier in the day. Talk naturally
drifted to the picture.
DO you know" said the secon
critic, II think Bessie Love is the fin
est actress on the screen today.
