Y. HOGAN RESENTS REMARKS. Judge Says That Latter Is "a Little Sensitive About Traction Stock." Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, May 19-Samuel Untermyer, chief counsel of the Government in the Riggs Bank case, paid a tribute to the Democratic party in his argument for the dismissal of the temporary injunction which the court has granted to prohibit the Treasury Department from placing fines upon the bank officials. He also told the court that Secretary of the Treasury MeAdoo had nothing to do with the levying of fines against the bank and that he was "unable to discover why the Secretary should have been brought into the case." "The creation of the federal reserve system by the Democratic party," declared Mr.

Untermyer in paying tribute to the work done by Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Williams in putting this system into operation, "is one of the most munificient things ever done for humanity. It takes away from the money squeezers and money sharks the privileged use of public funds." Mr. Untermyer, in his opening statement, said that the animosity of the Riggs Bank officials toward Mr.

McAdoo and Mr. Williams had not been aroused by requests for information. "It existed long before any such demands for information was made," he declared. "I will show this to the court with a mathematical certainty before I conclude." The Government's chief counsel verely criticised the officials of the Riggs Bank for making loans in large amounts upon Capital Traction railway stock. "Capital Traction is good stock," declared Mr.

Untermyer, "but I doubt if it is good business on the part of a bank to make most of its loans upon one class of stock only." Mr. Hogan, one of the attorneys for the Riggs Bank took exception to the remarks made by Mr. Untermyer concerning Capital Traction stock. He and Mr. Untermyer got into a heated debate which had to be interrupted by Judge McCoy.

Mr. Hogan is the chief counsel of the Capital Traction Company, and this fact prompted Judge McCoy to say: "I occasionally read the stock quotations in the Washington papers and find that Capital Traction is a good stock with a good market value. Mr. Hogan is no doubt a little sensitive on this point." Mr. Untermyer then reviewed the real estate and stock brokerage business of the Riggs Bank.

After going fully into these transactions, he said: "I doubt if there is a more flagrant case of law violation than that which is presented by stock brokerage transactions of the Riggs National Bank" Mr. Untermyer, in speaking of the injunction which the bank officials desire to be made permanent, declared it "just an effort by the bank authorities to escape proper supervision by the proper constituted authorities to banks." supervise the workings of national Before the court adjourns today it is the hope of both the attorneys a and Judge McCoy to have all the arguments presented. Former Senator Bailey of Texas, chief counsel for the Riggs Bank, will make the closing argument for the He will begin as soon as Mr. Untermyer concludes. Both President Glover and Vice President Ailes of the Riggs Bank were in court this morning and conferred frequently with both Attorneys Bailey a and Hogan.

Neither Secretary McAdoo nor Controller Williams was present. They were ably represented, however, by Mr. Untermyer, Mr. Brandeis, Assistant Attorney General Warren and Special Attorney General Adkins. WASHINGTON IRVING PLAYERS.

APPROVE PLANS FOR JAMAICA BAY WORK City, Facing Loss of Federal Fund, Acts on Two Dredging Projects. DEFER ACTION ON THIRD PLAN. Give Commissioner Smith Time to Settle With Property Owners on Waterfront Improvement.

Two plans porposed by the Dock Department for thei mprovement and development of Jamaica Bay were approved by the Sinking Fund Commission today. Action on a third plan was postponed by the commission for thirty days to give Dock Commissioner Smith time to effect a settlement with certain property owners, who claimed to own riparian rights. The two plans approved include Mill Basin, between Fifty-sixth and Sixtyfirst streets, Jamaica Bay and the Fresh Pond Creek Basin improvement. There was no opposition to these plans and they were passed by the commission by a unanimous vote. It was on the plan to improve the water front between Miss Basin and the Fresh Creek Basin that the opposition was centered.

The representing this opposition, that lansierea they be given some guarantee that they would be compensated for their riparian rights. Dock Commissioner Smith warned the members of the commission that if there was further delay in the adoption of any of the Jamaica Bay improvement plans, the money which Congress had appropriated, would be spent for other purposes. "The original appropriation made by the Federal Government for Jamaica Bay was $850,000." said the Dock Commission. "Since, however, the city has made no attempt to use the money, $150,000 has been diverted for other purposes. If we delay much longer no money will be left in the Federal appropriation." Representatives Rowe and Caldwell also warned the Commission that the city would probably lose the Federal appropriation if there was any further delay in approving the official waterfront plans in Jamaica Bay.

Representative Charles B. Law also urged immediate and favorable action. Other speakers were former Alderman Alexander S. Drescher, Nelson B. Killmer, H.

C. Brearly, Henry A. Meyer, John F. Geis, Walter Willis and William Liebermann. PAGEANT CAST PERFECT Rehearsal at 23d Armory Creates Inspiring Spectacle.

The Twenty-third Regiment Armory was the scene of feverish activity last night at the reharsal for Historical Pageant. Fully five hundred of those who are to have parts in the spectacle were on hand and several of the episodes were enacted in full. A sight which inspired every one of score of Grand Army veterans led by those present was the appearance a of a Captain Miles O'Reilly, are to take part in the event. They were as enthusiastic in reharsing their parts as was the smallest child on the armory floor. Their appearance in uniform was the signal for an outburst of applause.

Practically all the directors and officials who have anything to do with the pageant were on hand and were delighted with the enthusiasm displayed on all sides. Stage Director Ottokar Bartik performed wonders with the groups. The incisive manner and the clear directions which the director gave rubbed off the rough edges and made the performance seem thoroughly professional. But not less valuable was the aid given by William Pitt Rivers, the dancing master, who had previously rehearsed the Calico Ball at the Chateau du Pare many times. Mr.

Rivers, in addition to training the dancers, appeared as the floor manager in this episode, and is enabled thereby to insure that the scene is enacted with snap and precision. Following the Calico Ball last night the big battle of Long Island was given by members of the Twenty-third Regiment, and the mimic battle was realistic in the extreme. Though no blood was spilled, the carnage appeared very real. Seats are on sale at the armory every evening and many hundreds were purchased last night. It was announced that the performances on Friday and Saturday evenings will begin promptly at 8 o'clock: the matinee performance will be at 2 o'clock.
