AGAINST RIGGS BANK

Suit Brought Against McAdoo and Li Williams Alleges Attempts to Wreck Situation.

WASHINGTON, April 13.—Secretary McAdoo of the treasury and Controller of the Currency John Skelton Williams are made defendants in proceeding's begun in the District of Columbia supreme court by the Riggs National bank of Washington, D. C., which alVj'l jteges that these officials have comi? blned and conspired to wreck that in-

Btitution.

'^5 Temporary and permanent injunctions to halt the alleged conspiracy and to prevent the controller from making what the bank charges are unlawful demands for special reports of various kinds are sought from the court.

One portion of the prayer seeks to Restrain John Burke, treasurer of the United States, from paying into the treasury $5,000 declared to be due the bank as interest on $1,000,000 of United States bonds deposited with the conW'1-- troller against its note circulation.

This interest was withheld to cover penalties of $100 a day for failure of the bank to make certain reports. Once paid into the treasury, only an act of congress could get the $5,000 out, and Justice McCoy granted a temporary injunction on this phase of the case.

The justice then set April 16 as the day for answer by the defendants to show cause why permanent injunctions should not be issued. The bank's bill of complaint covers eighty-six typewritten pages and contains thirtyseven specific allegations designed to fhow that the controller has adopted unusual and legally questionable tactics in dealing with the institution. It recites that evidence of an unusual desire for information concerning the bank was shown by Mr. Williams shortly after he,assumed the office of oontroller more than a year ago and has continued ever since.

Until then members of the Staff gathered at his bedside several times weekly for the purpose of discussing with Mr. Nelson questions of editorial policy. At these conference® he would dictate editorials and outline ideas for cartoons and fea-^ ture stories.

Although his physicians constantly advised against the part he was taking the past few months in the management of the paper he refused to obey them, reminding them that it was in the building of the Star he had been happiest and that he would not be content without something to occupy his mind.

During the last month, however. Mr. Nelson has been conscious only at intervals.
