T The day's programme ended with a
race under the glare of searchlights,

parade of ships launched humorously or

Tomorrow the ships swing out to sea

by watching the boat races from the

' a joyful celebration amonc the "Wyo

- the race. He stood smiling on the
' bridge a the bluejackets, headed by

" the President returned to the May-

return to Washington on her after the

Mrs. Ianiels, wife of the Secretary
of the Navy, pave a dinner tonight
aboard the Dolphin, which was at
tended by Miss Margaret Wilson and
" other members of the President's per
sonal party, Mrs. Franklin D. Roose
velt, Mrs. George McAneny, wife of the
acting Mayor; Mrs. Fletcher, wife of
the Admiral; Mrs. Franklin K. Lane,
.' Mrs. t. F. Houston and Mrs. W. O. ited
; field, wives, respectively, of the Seere-
taries of the Interior, Agriculture and
Commerce.
The full text of the President's ad
dress was, as follows:
"Mr. Mayor, Mr. Secretary, Admiral
" Fletcher and gentlemen of the fleet:
' This Is not an occasion on which, it
seeins to ine. that it would be wiae
for me to make many remarks, but I
what every nation would wish to stand
ficatton If I did not express my pleas
. tire at being here, my gratitude for
the splendid reception which has been
, accorded tne as the representative of
the Nation and my profound interest
, in the Navy of the United States.
J Intereat in Navy Keen.
f "This! a an Interest with which I
was apparently born, for it began when
1 was a youngster , and has ripened
with my knowledge of the affairs and
policies of the united states. I thlnK
' it is a natural, instructive judgment of
- the people of the United States that
they may express their power appro
" priately in an efficient Navy, and their
interest is partly, I believe, because
that Navy is expected to express their
character, not within our own borders,
" where that character is understood, but
- outside our borders, where it is hoped
we may occasionally touch others with
. some slight vision of what America
- stands for.
"But before I speak of the Navy of
the United States 1 want to take ad
- vantage of the first public opportunity
I have had to speak of the Secretary
of the Navy, to express my confidence
and my admiration, and to say that
he has my unqualified support, for
- have counselled with him in intimate
fashion. I know how sincerely he has
it at heart that everything that the
; Navy docs and handles should be done
- and handled as the people of the United
- states wish them handled because ef
ficlency la something more than or-
Sanitation.
Kfficlency Is Keynote.
?" "Efficiency runs into every well'
' considered detail of personnel and
"' method. Efficiency runs to the extent
' of lifting the ideal of a service above
. every personal Interest. So that when
1 speak of my support of the Secretary
j of the Navy I am merely speaking my
support of what I know every true
" lover of the Navy to desire and to pro
pose; for the Navy of the United States
is a body especially trusted with the
Ideal of America.
- "1 like to image in my thoughts this
', ideal. Those quiet ships, lying in the
river, have no suggestion of bluster
about them, no Intimation of aggres
' sion. They are commanded by men
! thoughtful of the duty of citizens as
. well as the duty of officers men ac
quainted with the traditions of the
great service to which they belong, men
-who know by touch with the people
,.- of the United Stages what sort of pur
poses they ought to entertafn and what
sort of discretion they ought to exer
; cise in order to use their engines of
' force as engines to promote the inter-
- cats of humanity.
No Nation's Property Wanted.
"For the fnterestlng and inspiring
- thing about America is that she asks
nothing for herself except what she has
a right to ask for humanity itself. We
want no nation's property; we wish to
question no nation's honor; we wish to
aland selfishly In the way of no na
tion; we want nothing that we cannot
set by our own legitimate enterprise
and by the Inspiration of our own ex
ample and standing for these things,
for it is no pretension on our part to
say we are privileged to stand for
; would deprive myself of a great grati
" for and speaking for those things which
all humanity must desire.
"When 1 think of the flag which
those ships carry, the only touch of
' color about them, the only thing that
r moves as if It had a settled spirit in
., it. in their solid structure, it seems to
- me that I see alternate strips of parch
: ment on which are written the right
of liberty and justice ana strips of

blood spilled to vindicate those rights
and then, in the corner, a prediction of
the blue serene into which every na
tion may swim which stands for these
great things.
Spirit Not Dictated.
"The mission of America Is the only
thing that a sailor or soldier should
think about; he has nothing to do
with the formulation of her policies; he
Is to support her policy whatever it
Is but he is to support her policy in
the spirit of herself, and the strength
of our policy is that we, who for the
time being administer the affairs of
this Nation, do not originate her spirit,
we attempt to embody it; we attempt
to realize it in action; we are dom
inated by it, we do not dictate it.
"And so with every man in arms
who serves the Nation; he stands and
waits to do the things which the Na
tion desires. America sometimes seems,
perhaps, to forget her programme, or,
rather, I will say that sometimes those
who represent her seem to forget
her programme. But the people never
forget them. It is as startling as it is
touching, to see how, whenever you
touch a principle you touch the hearts
of the people of the United States. They
listen to your debates of policy, they
determine which party they will pre
fer to power; they choose and prefer
as ordinary men, but their real af
fection, their real force, their real ir
resistible momentum is for the Ideals
which men embody.
No Threat Is Lifted.
"I never go on the streets of a. great
city without feeling that somehow I
do not confer elsewhere than on the
streets with the great spirit of the
people themselves, going about their
business, attending to the things which
concern them, and yet carrying
treasure at their hearts all the while,
ready to be stirred, not only as lndi
vlduals, but as members of a greart
union of heart that constitutes a pa
triotlc people.
"And ' so this sight in the river
touches me merely as a symbol of that,
and it quickens the pulse of every man
who realizes these things; to have any
thing to do with them. When a crisis
occurs in this country, it Is as if you
put your hand on the pulse of a dy
namo; it is as if the things which you
were in connection with were spiritual
ly bred. You had nothing to do with
them, except. If you listen truly, to
speak the things that you hear.
"These things now brood over the
river. This spirit now moves with the
men who represent the Nation in the
Navy; these things will move upon the
waters in the maneuvers; no threat
lifted against any man, against any
nation, against any interest, but Just
a great solemn evidence that the force
of America is the force of moral prln
ciple, that there is not anything else
that she loves and that there is not
anything else for which she will con
tend.
2 WOMEN EJECTED
Suffragists Cause Scene in
Hotel Where Wilson Is Guest.
SECRET SERVICE MEN ACT
Vice-President of National Suffrage
Association Deplores Act Which
She Says Belongs to Militant
Kngland, Not to America.
NEW YORK. May 17. Mrs. Stanley
McCormick, vice-president of the Na
tional Woman Suffrage Association, In
statement tonight, declared that the
National association had no sympathy
with the act of two women suffragists
who today caused a scene by trying to
reach President Wilson in tha hotel
where he was a guest of honor at
luncheon.
They were taken in hand by secret
service men, but prior to this they had
succeeded in delivering to Secretary
Tumulty a letter for the President.
It
was written on the stationery of th
National executive committee of th
Congressional Union for Woman Suf
frage, and appealed to the President for
his powerful aid to remove the politi
cal disability of women.
Mrs. Mcwormick, in her statement,
said :
"The National association deprecates
the lack of courtesy shown toward th
President of the United States by
small band of American suffragists.
It
is an unfortunate combination of th
English methods to the American sit
uation, which in no way warrants
them.
"The President, so far as we know,
has never refused to receive th
women suffragists of this country
when properly approached. The at
tempt to force the President. to receive
this adelegation was not made in good
taitn or with any real nope that th
President would consent. It is th
sort of thing which, in the opinion
ot
many women, might serve to set bac
suffrage in this country

POLITICAL ASPECT VIEWED
Attorney Declares Controller Has
"Abandoned Being Uw Admin
istrator and Become Violator."
Motions to Dismiss Argued.
WASHINGTON, May 17. Arguments
on motions by Government counsel to
dismiss for lack of jurisdiction the in
junction suit brought by the Riggs Na
tional Bank against Treasury officials
besran today in the District of Columbia
Supreme Court. Frank J. Hogan, for
the bank, occupied practically the en
tire day opposing the Government's con
tentions and will resume tomorrow.
Iouis Brandeis. Samuel Untermyer
and associate counsel for Secretary Mo
V'loo. Controller of the Currency Will
ms and Treasurer John Burke, who
re charged wtih conspiring to wreck
he Riggs bank, filed briefs in-support
their motions to dismiss tne pro-
eedinjrs.
They maintain that "a suit involving
the property of the United States Is
t against the United states ana
hat the Government cannot be made a
party to a suit without its consent.
The officers in their dealings with tne
bank, it was declared, acted in their
fficial capacity and within the law,
The right of the bank to sue in equity
as also challenged on the ground that
had an adequate remedy at law.
Politiral Aspert Referred To.
Mr. Hogan charged in his argument
that a political aspect had been in-
ected into the case and that 80 per cent
the affidavits filed by Secretary Mc
Adoo had nothing to do with the pro-
eeding. He cited authorities to show
that officials of the Government may
made amenable to the court when
hey attempt to usurp authority and as
erted that Mr. McAdoo usurped au
thority by assuming to be the paying
fricer of the United States and with
holding $5000 interest on bonds due the
Rlgcs Bank to satisfy penalties im
posed by Controller Williams.
Referring to Controller Williams,
Mr. Hogan said: "We hale to the bar
an individual who has abandoned being
law administrator and become a law
iolator."
The withdrawal of the American Red
ross and Panama Canal funds from
eposit at the Riggs Bank, the attor
ey declared, was brought about by the
nfluence of Secretary McAdoo and
Controller Williams.
'Together," he said, "these men took
away from the Riggs Bank mora than
2.000,000 in deposits, yet they say that
the bank might not be as solvent as it
s today if they had not helped it.
Advice Asked for Not Glveau
The attorney dwelt at length on de
mands for information made on the
bank by Mr. Williams. Me said the
rectors of the bank held a meeting
ast Summer and asked that controller
ust what he desired the bank to do,
but that no advice or suggestions were
received.
In demanding a penalty of JoOOO from
the bank for failure to submit a report
f the loans of the institution for 18
ears, Mr. Hogan declared that Con-
roller Williams made an erroneous
calculation in order to stipulate tha
amount, which was due in interest to
the bank, and notified the hank tha
it would be subject to a "further and
continuing penalty."
We thought he meant what he
aid." continued the attorney. "It now
aDDears from w imams amaavii ma
he was merely attempting to bull the
officers of the bank. He now says he
had no intention of exacting iurtne
nenaltr and he makes no attempt to
calculate the amount that had been In
curred."
National City's Case Held Separate.
Touching on the statement In Mr.
McAdoo's affidavit that the secretary
did not know but two officers of the
National City Bank of New York, and
that he had no dealings with that in
stitution to arouse hostility, Mr. Hogan
said that the National City Bank was
In no wav connected with this case
and did not own a dollar's worth o
stock in the Riggs bank, and that th
plaintiff had made no accusations in
connection with Mr. McAdoo's relations
with the National City.
Mr. McAdoo charges that he was
not made a defendant in this case in
good faith," he added, "but in order
thatilibel might be circulated unde
protection of the law. That is a con
temptible and unfounded aspersion
upon Senator Bailey and myself as
counsel for the plaintiff."
It was believed tonight that prob
ably two more days would be occupied
by the arguments on the legal phases

NEW YORK. May 17. An order

Ingraham in the appellate division of
the Supreme Court risyintr all pro
ceedings In the habeas corpus petition
of Harry K. Thaw, in which Thaw
seeks to have a jury in the Supreme
Court pass on his panity, brought an
other delay in the lonjr-drawn-out
proceedings against the slayer of Stan
ford White.
Thaw's case had been twice called
during- the day in the Supreme Court
and Justice Hcndrick had postponed
the case until tomorrow at the request
of Deputy Attorney-General Becker.
The Justice at the time said that un
less some action was taken in the
meantime by the appellate division he
would begin the hearing tomorrow.
The stay granted by the appellate
division Is part of an action begun by
rranK A. (Jook. of the Attorney-Gen

to show cause Friday why a stay
should not issue pending the determi
nation of an appeal taken by the Attorney-General
from the decision of the
appellate division last Friday, in which
the ruling issued by the Supreme
Court granting a Jury hearing as to
Thaw's sanity was upheld.

that the ship purchase bill, which
caused a serious tieup at Ihe last sea
sion of Congress, will be revived at
the next session, and will have the full
strength of the Administration behind
it. The advocates of the ship purchase
bill maintain that there is more reason
for Its enactment now than there was
last Winter, and, as the destruction of
foreign ships continues, the necessity
for American ships will continue to
grow.
The ship purchase bill, though
backed strongly by the President dur
ing the short session of Congress, failed
principally because of the constitu
tional limitation of the session, which
proved to be a great factor in favor
of those Senators who filibustered
against the Administration measure
and defeated It. Had the recent ses-

While there has been no Intimation
from the White House that the Presi
dent intends to call a special session of
Congress for any cause, some or me
strongest supporters of the Adminis-
raticn have advised that an extra ees-
ion be called to consider a ship pur
chase bill. Their advocacy of this
move is two-fold: they want a ship
purchase bill passed as speedily as
possible, and they feel that the inter
