Tells When Controversy Began.

The controller of the currency on
June 9, 1914. made a call upon the
bank for these names and balances.
This is where the controversy be-
gan, he said.
Discussing the withdrawal of gov
eminent deposits from the Riggs
Bank, Mr. Adkins said, Secretary. Nc
Adoo had determined that as the bank
was doing a large business in loans
stocks and a comparatively small
business in commercial loans, "the
Riggs Eank was not the, character of
bank in which he desired to make
deposits of government funds. but
that he preferred to deposit them in
banks which would aid the commerce
of the country"
The witness discussed at consider
able length the legal aspects of the
case brought by Riggs Bank officials
against Secretary McAdoo and Con-
troller Williams. and the decision of
the court.
Senator Walsh Of Massachusetts, in
terrupted finally with the suggestion
that in the end the committee would
have to decide whether Controller
Williams had acted through malice in
making the many calls for informa-
ton from Riggs Bank.
