ahlch th bank seek to enjoin, and that
he know of only two reasons -which
might cause th bank' to b hctlle t
him. On waa that h refused 01m of

Dial Nf Threaten Itaak.
Messrs. McAdoo and William and M.
,C. Elliott give their version of a confer
ence In McAdoo'a office, at th conclu
sion of which, th bank alleged In It
complaint, McAdoo said to President
Okwar of th Rig m bank: "Mr. Olover,
you know what this mean to th Riga
National bank." Th bank averred that
to b a threat and In a promise would b
fulfilled later by withdrawal of govern
ment deposit.
McAdoo aver he made no such remark,
but warned Olover that the then delicate
financial situation her might be mad
worse and that all tha national bank In
th city would suffer In cor.soquence.
Th affidavit which are th anawer
are designed In part to show th rela
tion between th Itlgg National And th
National City bank of New Tork. Mr.
McAdoo swears , that Vic President
A Ilea of tho Rings National received an
annual salary of 112,000 from tha National
City bank, that four other Identified
with th Rlgga bank received aalartea
from th National City, all totalling $18,740
a year.
further, Mr. McAdoo aweara that Mr.
A lies five day befor he resigned aa
assistant secretary of th treasury and
took the oath aa a director of th Rlgga
National depoalted f7.S0O.00A of govern
ment fund In that Institution, making a
total there of fd.WO.tt'O which drew no In
terest, aa waa then th custom.
Mr. McAdoo say that aa h went to a
hoepltal for an operation early last
March, th imposition of fine by Comp
troller Williams, on that officer's refusal
to approve th Rlgga aa a depository for
otber national banks, were not brought
to hi attention.
Helelader from Bank.
Th bank issued a statement taking
issue with many of the allegations In the
answers. It says thst while Mr. Williams
swear that he Intend to xct no met
penalties than th on for tuno, he orlg-
inany auempiea 10 impose penalties sg
gregating tliO.0. The National City
bank, under the law. It ears, docs not and
ould not own a share of atock in the
atigga and that the two are not connected
tk any way. With referenc to loans 10
officers of th treasury and the coinp
- treilera office th bank's statement eays
that It loaned also to officials In all otm-r
government departments and to many
members of congress, feeling that ac
commodation to a person with credit and
collateral ought not to be denied because
h waa a public official. It declare tha
the tt.KO.Ouo deposit by Mr. A lie a not
taken from the treasury, but was tri
ferred from the National City bunk .iy
th direction of Secretary Hhaw. Tin
bank declares thst in the nineteen cars
of Its existence Mr. Wlllla.-iui had found
only three loans which he could charac
terise as "dummy loans." although each
"wa wholly free from deception or
fraud." waa lawful and amply secured.
Tbe charge that the Rings bank had con
ducted a brokerage and reel estat loan
buatata and falsified or Juggled Its re
port "to conceal UUgal oneratlona" la
declared to be an "unqualified falsehood."
