DENIES PRESSURE
In RIGGS BANK CASE
Attorney General Gregory Calls
Hogan's Statement 'Unfounded'
and Also Defends Grand Jury.

Washington, Oct. I'm a formal
statement to-day Attorney General
Gregory denied the statement of Frank
J. Hogan, attorney for tho Riggs Bank,
that the Treasury officials had induced
the Department Of Justice to obtain the
indictments in the case, and character
ized II as without foundation" Mr.
Gregory also defended the grand Jury,
saying he knew Of no fact which would
justify the intimation that the grand
jury bore malice toward the indicted
.oficia's, nor did he believe such facts
existed. Having thus put his case be-
fore the public, Mr.. Gregory concluded
MS formal statement with the remark
that the case would not be tried in the
newspapers. but by the courts. Mr.
Gregory's statement was as follows:

out by counsel FOR the Riggs National
Bank in which IL is intimated that the
indictments for perjury recently re-
turned by the grand jury OF the Dis

"The statement that this department

their invasion Of Serbia. steadily
wearing down the defense offered by
the soldiers OF King Peter. the Anglo
French expedition landed at Salonika
is apparently remaining inactive.
Though part OF the allied forces have
reached the Serb frontier. il appears
that these troops have taken no part
in the lighting in Serbia.
The Reason Is Plain.
The reason for this is plain: The
Greek army is modelling and If the
Athenlan government were to cast its
lot with the Teutonic powers the al
lied troops would be marched from
Doth front and rear. Reports are cur
rent here that this is the very matter
over which Sir Edward Carson split
with his colleagues in the cabinet.
II IS said that Sir Edward insisted
That no British troops should be
landed on Greek soil until Greece had
decided 10 give its full support 10 the
allies, but was overruled.
A dispatch from Athens states that
meeting Of the Greek cabinet was
held last might at which the proffer
OF Cyprus was discussed and that a
reply was sent after Premier Zaimis
mad conferred with King Constantine.
The nature Of this reply has not yet
oeen made known from any official
source, though a dispatch from Rome
said that Greece has offered TO pledge
itself not TO join the Teurons under
any circumstances.
This pledge, like that Of the Athens
promise of friendly neutrality" is
likely TO find small favor at London or
Paris.
another dispatch from Rome speaks
or an "ultimatum" which the allies
are sending to Greece which insists that
the Greek government define its exact
stand.
