Today’s Star Contains Two Parts. Last Week's Sworn Net Cireulation— Daily Average, 73.912: Sunday, 53.947. —. WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, MR. BURKE DECRIES RIGGS CONTROVERSY Treasurer Declares Dragging in of Politics Wholly Unwarranted. ONLY QUESTION AT ISSUE IS LAW IN THE CASE ‘le Scope of Controller's Powers, He Says. Th between the Riges Na- tienal Bank and officials of the Treas- ury Department, im the opinion of John Burke, treasurer of the United States, lias no further significance than points of law which both parties to the Titi- gation should wish resolved in ac- cordance with right and justice. Mr. Burke, in an interview with a reporter for The Star, today deplored efforts to drag into the case political aspects or significance, as well as the sugges- tion of dissension among federal offi- cials and general discord and concern im the administration. He made a plea for dispassionate consideration of the controversy. One development today was that na- tional banks, trust companies and sa ings institutions located in Washing- ton received from the office of the con- troller of the currency new forms on which are to be made statements of the condition of the banks when cal are issued in future for suc ments. The new forms conta for the furnishing of a number of a ditional details not heretofore required of the banking institutions and in ‘onnection with the controversy be- tween the Riggs National Bank and ‘Treasury officials, who are accused of trying to wreck the bank it was said by counsel for the bank today that in general the information about to be demanded of all the banks has _here- tofore been demanded only of the Riggs National Bank. Riggs Bank Charges. Counsel for the Riggs Bank made the statement that not.only has the additional information on the new forms been de- manded of the Riggs Bank in particular in the past, but that much other informa- not comprehended in the new forms iso been demanded by the control- the Riggs Bank in the past. The azz out of the new forms for state- coun- iments by the office of the controlle1 for the Riggs Bank said, is a belated mpt to obtain from all banks infor- which the Riggs Bank has charged has been asked of that bank only in the past, to such an extent as to con- titute the harassment and persecution of which the bank complained in its bill when it obtained the injunction against the convroller. ' is understood that the new form of Statement has been sent or is to be Sent to all the national banks of the} ry.

No Reply From Governor. Counsel for Mr. Barnes said, betore court opened today, that so far they had received no reply to a request to Gov. Charles S. Whitman to appear asa witness in rebuttal and testify regard- ing the authenticity of a letter which by him while he was district attorney, of New York, saying that the time was ripe for progressive republicans and progressives to rid the state of corrupt conditions, and that the men and poli- cies responsible for such corruption were not confined to one party. Col. Roosevelt said he believed the reference was to Mr. Barnes. William M. Ivins denied today that he had telegraphed Gov. Whitman last night and requested him to appear as a witness later in the trial of the suit. An aid to Mr. Ivins had previously de- clared, however, that an answer had been expected from the governor be- received. widitional, details which will ke (at | Among the witnesses counsel for Col. ed whén the call for « statement | Roosevelt planned to place upon the ies in future will not give ihem so) stand during the day were Josiah T.| Yery much trouble to compile. ¢ Neweom, Frederick M.

Sheehan and “Mr. Depew were the closest contestants. In a later vote the name of James A. O'Gorman appeared. Justice O'Gorman was victorious. Mr. Hinman then testified to intro- ducing in 1910 the Hinman-Green direct primaries bill in the state senate Questions ax 10 whether the witness had talked to Gov. Hughes about the primary bill or whether the governor avored the measure were ruled ont. ‘o Show Bipartisan Line-Up. Mr. Hinman then read « record of the vote which defeated the: direct prima- ries bill. It was defeated by the vote of 13 repubiteans and i2 democrats. The witness a@ded that the Meade-Phillips direct primaries bill, favored by the organization was passed, 14 democrats and 14 republicans voting for it. The idea in offering this evidence, counsel for Col. Roosevelt said during an argument over an objection, was to show a bipartisan alignment against the Hinman-Green bill and in favor of the Meade-Phillips bill. Primary Legislation. SYRACUSE, April 30.——Mr. Hinman was shown Gov. Hughes’ message to the legislature of May 26, 1916. In it the governor expressed objection to the Meade-Phillips bill Mr. Hinman then went on to tell of the action of the special session of the legislature called to consider direct primaries. “I think,” said Justice Andrews, “that you are trying to convey to the jury the idea that because Gov. Hughes op- posed a bill it necessarily must be a bad one” “Oh, no,” replied Mr Van Ben- schoten of Col.

He said our attitude was wrong on the Hinman- Green bill. He said he could show the whole idea was wrong. He said he could get the riffraff of the democrats and vote them in the republican maries, and vice versa, and nominate [such rotten men that the public would | soon become disgusted with direct pri- maries. He also told me direct nomina- tion gave tog much publicity to the candidate, as it forced him to go through two campaigns. “Barnes said he could ruin the reputa- tion of any man living by throwing too much limelight on hirh.
