HEADS Of RIGGS
BANK INDICTED
Three Officials Are Accused oil
Perjury by Washington
Grand Jury.

WASHINGTON, Oct -Four in
dictments alleging PERJURY were today
returned by the grand jury against
Charles c. Glover, president; William
J. Flather, vice president, and Henry
II. Flather. cashier of the Riggs Ma
tional bank. one of the strongest finan-
cial institutions in the country. The
indictments grew out of the troubles
between the treasury department and
the bank officials. which are expected
TO result in court decisions that Will
define exactly the meaning of the ma
tiOnal bank supervision laws.
A Joint indictment against the three
bankers and three individual present
ments were handed up by the grand
jury. An arrangement has been made
with council whereby no warrants
were to be issued but the three Will
appear in court tomorrow; enter pleas
of not guilty with privilege of de-
murring, and then be released on
$4,000 bail each.
1t has not been decided upon
whether the accused men will be tried
under the District of Columbia code
which pre- ~ides a penalty of from two
to 10 years imprisonment, or under
the federal penal code, which pro-
vides for a fine of not more than
$4,000, and Imprisonment OF not more
than five years. This will later be de-
cided by the district attorney.
The Indictment of the three bank
officials is an offshoOt of the civil
suit brought by the bank recently
against treasury department officials.
During the trial of the civil action.
Messrs. Glover, Flather and Flather
signed an affidavit asserting that the
bank never had indulged in stock
transactions with the brokerage firm
Of Lewis Johnson & Co.
Lewis Johnson & Co. records, when
introduced, showed an account under
the name of the Riggs bank. The bank
attorneys Immediately explained that
this covered transactions for the GUS
toners of the Riggs bank for whom
the bank had acted as agent 1t was
declared that the bank, as a bank,
never had engaged in stock dealings.

Rather. il is understood the allies
will exert their influence through
Greece. their first step being evidenced
by the speech OF Premier Nenizelos
before parliament at Athens in which
he said
Il shouH be happy If the Quieting
assurances given by the governments
OF hon the modified Balkan states
should be followed by the simultaneous
and prompt recall OF mobilization, thus
averting danger TO peace"
Observers OF the Balkan situation
say that Nenizelo's proposal of joint
demObilizatiOn opens the way for a
graceful backdown on the part OF
King Ferdinand Developments are
awaited with intense interest
Germany's efforts to make Ferdin-
and decide his future course are said
20 have taken the form Of new terri
torlau offers. OF which would make
Bulgaria the dominant power In the
Balkans This has been Ferdinand's
ambition.

REVENUE COLLECTIONS
SHOW BUSINESS GROWTH
Money Collected For Government
During September Shows Nat
uraI Increase of $4,000.

Revenue collected through the
South Bend internal revenue Office
during September amounted to S25,-
O5.19 as compared with $1S,2O3 for
September. 1914. That this increase
is due entirely TO growing business
is shown by the fact that the revenue
during the last month from war
stamps was only S2.716.3O which was
but slightly more than the revenue
which has been derived from the sale
of war stamps in each previous
month. The increase in revenue
comes largely from cigars and to-
bacco. The total collected during
August amounted to $22,7S1.4S.

The question asked by all when the

able TO hold the ground gained When
the Germans make their counter at

Today's communique from the war
Office answers this question in the al

lies. despite the fact that they are
being assailed by Germany's. finest
troops, including the famous Prusslah
