GREGORY RETORTS
IN RIGGS BANK CASE
AttOrney-Gcncral Declares
There Was No Malice Against
Indicted Officials.
NOBODY COERCED HIM

wAsniNGroN, Oct. 2.-Attorney-Gen-
eral Gregory issued to-day a statement
in which he made an emphatic denial
of a charge attributed to counsel for
the Riggs National Bank that the in
dictments returned against President
Glover. vice-President Father and
Cashier Father Of the bank were I'm
spIred by the malice Of Secretary OF
the Treasury McAdoo and Comptroller
Of the Currency williams.
The Attorney Generals announcement
was intended as a reply to the state
ment made yesterday by Frank J. u.
Hogan, the banks counsel, In which Mr..
Hogan said "In inducing the Depart
ment OF Justice to obtain these indict-
ments. Messrs. McAdoo and Williams
proved that malice against which the
bank sought protection in the courts"
Mr.. Hogan made no comment to-day
on The Acknowledgements statement ex-
cept to say that he was not alarmed"
by it.
Here is Acknowledgement Gregory's
statement:
"My attention has been called to
statement appearing in the morninr
papers %purporting to have been given GU
by counsel for the RIGGS National Bank
in which It Is intimatcd that the
indictments for perjury recently re
turned by the Grand Jury OF thu
District OF Columbia against Ger
tain officials of the ban were in
spired by malice, n the charge Is made
hat the Department OF Justice was in
duced TO obtain these indictments by tn
Secretary OF the Treasury and the Comp
troller OF the Currency.
II know OF no fact which would justif!
the intimation that the Grand Jury bor'
malice toward the indicted officials. o
had in mind anything except the dis
barge OF its official duty. nor do I be
II, that any such act exists.
" ne statement that this Department
WIS induced by any one to obtain THIS
indictments is. OF course. without tn
slightest foundation. The facts on whicl
the indictments are predicated were de
veloped In open cour and in the pres
ence of the District AttoriAy and sew
eral months thereafter were ~presente
20 the Grand Jury for considers ton alon
with others OF a like character, and i
the usual manner.
These cases will not be tried In IN
columns OF the press hut by the dul
constituted legal tribunals and In tn
proper way"
The only other development In tn
case OF the bank officials who were in
dic,ed was the arrangement of bonds @
$1,000 each for President Glover an
Vico-President Flather. Counsel ar
peared in court this morning and file
the bonds. which had been furnished h

NEW SUBWAY NEEDS

CANEINS UNEXPLAINED

Mayor Mitchell made public yesterday
the report Of the board OF thirteen en-
gineers whom he appointed after the new
subways collapsed at Seventh avenue
and Twenty-hfth street and Broadway
and Thirty-eighth street to examine
construction methods wherever subway
work is going on.
The board. Of which Nelson r. Lewis
Is chairman. does not specify any cause
Of the two accidents. but It's report con-
tains these sentences:
'"rhe general character Of the sup
porting structures in the portions Of
broadway between Twenty-sixth and
Thirty-ninth streets and in Seventh
avenue between Commerce street and
Thirtieth street is materially different
from that found in other sections. The
most conspicuous feature of these struc-
lures IL the lack of rigidity in the trans
verse bents. which are commonly com
posed of two separate bents, the top
horizontal member OF each Of which
consists Of a heavy II" beam projecting
beyond the vertical supports.
'"Thesc beams are not connected se-
curely with each other. and they gem
orally do not extend to the sides of
the cut. There was little. II m pro-
lection against the overturning OF these
beams In case of "A longitudinal shock or
movement. With such method Of con-
struction diagonal brac!ng. both trans
verse and longitudinal. IL very necessary

recommended that diagonal braciHg he

I'm several places the subcommittee
noted that there are long sections where
the excavation has been completed but
the steel erection has not yet been com
menced. In one instance the extent OF
the finished excavation Vas over 1000
feet in length. We believe II Is unnec-
essary TO assume the risk inseparable
from such long stretches of temporary
supports for the street surface and that
in the interest of safety to traffic n
limit should be placed on the extent OF
continuous temporary structure.

pect that traffic hould be unrestricted

From the reports charging unwar-
ranted and vicious use of the movie
censor'S shears, it begins to look like
we would pass from this sphere with
out the qualification of two well worn
and deep felt desires. We have never
seen a production of Uncle Tom S
Cabin nor of East Lynne on the legiti-
mate stage. Once we led a great
dane bloodhound for a Tom show
parade, but our parents restrained us
from seeing the performances, doubt
less for the good of our morals. Again
we passed handbills for the above
mentioned East Lynne, but a sudden
attack of illness prevented our going
to the show.
Once having had free passes to
these productions we have kept
solemn vow never to pay real money
to see either. We have now reached
a position of moral stability where we
believe we can stand to risk a dime to
see each of these productions. There
fore, when the time comes that the
agonies of the faithful Uncle Tom, the
sufferings of poor little Eva, seduc-
tive gIanceS of the dark muStached
villain and the woeful waverings of
the innocent daughter are spread up
on the snow white canvas before the
guardian of our morals and charac
ters may the kind hand of an ever
watchful providence stay those fate
full and iconoclastic shears.
There is this about it, that nothing

of difference as to who does the pre-

There MAY Be LIGHT
Teachers May See White Way Around
State House in November.

Cheer up. Maybe the state house
grounds will be partially lighted for
the State Teachers convention.
In the last few days there has been
an unusual and active interest in the
state house white way. Even mem
bers of the state executive council
have shown concern regarding the
lighting system. Now it is probable
for the steps will be turned on during
the teachers meeting.
Not until a week ago were orders
placed for the ornamental brass posts
for the eight light clusters on the
state house steps. The new posts will
not be delivered for another month
possibly longer. But now plans are
being worked out to turn on the new
lights surrounding the walks and
drives and to burn the old one candle
power lights at the state house en-
frances.
One of the responsibilities for the
new lighting system, however, is en-
tirely out of the hands of the state
departments 1t is the question of
laying the feed wires to the state
These wires have not been laid and
no lights can be turned on until the
city has looked after this detail
The work of pulling the heavy light
cables through the conduits may be
completed late this afternoon Next
week-possibly Tuesday morning-the
contractors will begin setting the orna-
mental posts along the state house
walks and drives. These posts will be
similar to those in use on Kansas ave-

probable that the work of setting
these posts will be completed within a
week. Arrangements can then be
made to turn on all lights except those
on the state house steps.
At present the state house steps are
lighted by a cluster of small mean
descent lamps. Juice for these lights
is supplied from the state heating
plant.
When the new brass posts arrive,
they will be mounted and fed from
the city plant. But the posts are of
special design and the order was de-
layed until last week. So when Kan
sas teachers come to Topeka in No
vember, they may draw their own
comparison with the new lighting sys-
tenn and find their way through the
state house grounds without a lantern
and special guide
