The braien frauds worked by A. W. Machen have been rehearsed for many months but not until Brlstows report waa made public did the glgantlo nature of them appear. "So carelessly did Maehen work his games," say. Mr. Brlstow, "that he not .alone made hla detection aura, but the detection of othera."

Crawford, who waa deputy auditor for tha postofflce under the last Cleveland administration, waa mixed up In. Mr. Brlstow aaya of thla: "This waa probably the moat skillful : and complex scheme Invented by any of the postal grafters. It consisted of a double conspiracy: First, Lerens and Machen conspired with Crawford to Je- , fraud the government out of the price of tha straps; then Crawford conspired with routes. They are unnecessary, ' since every farmer's letter box serves the purpose of both a deposit and a collec tion box. Postmasters wrote frequent ly Mtatlng that the boxes were of no use, that In many of them ..there waa not a letter deposited once a month. Kever theloss Machen continued to hav them erected.

Heath, tho report has this to say: "The Montague Indicator Is a device attached to street letter-boxes showing the hours of rolfhctlon. It waa pro moted by V. W. Montague postmaster at Ban Francisco. Cal., and D. 8. Rich ardson, a cashier In that office. "A company waa organised In 199 with a capital stock of $100,000, con sisting of 10,000 shares, par value $5 Immediately after the company was organised Richardson and James V. Erwln, at that time a postofflce is- speetor, visited Washington for the pur pose of securing the adoption of the device by the postofflce department. Richardson consulted George W. Beavers, who told him that to Insure success he ought to distribute hiock among the oHlclals who naa cnarge " the matter. Acting upon this sugges tion Richardson gave Machen 1.000 shares of the stock, who requested that It be issued In tha name of H. C. Begr, and Beavers I.000. shares that were Is sued in tho name of Richardson. A short time after this gratuitous distri bution of stock an order wa given for 7,000 indicators, at $4.25 each. Heger, in whoso name the stock io- nated to Machen was Issued, says he bought this stock from Machen and paid Mm $1,200 for It. There Is a mystery about the true ownership of the 2,000 uiiares given to Beavers. It was Issued li the name of D. 8. Richardson, and at Beavers' suggestion assigned to John R. MoDonough. Tha first dividend, con sisting of $120, was forwarded to Beavers February 6, 1901, and ac knowledged by him in the following let ter: WW rind Heath. ( Personal.)

For many years the de partment paid $1.60, but the price was afterward reduced to $1.25, ' "Of the $12M61.2S that during eight years has been paid the Oroffs by the department, Machen and Lorena have re celved $51,480. .

Wynn, therefore, became an em barrassing competitor. But Machen was eo;ual to the occasion, he stated to Post mamer-ueoerai vviison yiat he had a counin, Arnold J. J. Machen of -Toledo, O., who was interested, avith Wynn in this box, and that he did not think it proper for the contract to be awarded to a firm in which a relative of the superln tendent of free delivery was flnanclaally interested. The postmaster-general evl dently was Impressed by the unselfish devotion of Machen to the public inter est for Wynn's bid was discarded though in doing so the cost of letter boxes during the contract period-was In creased $51,653.80. The profits on. this contract to Maybury & Ellis aggregated something over $53,000. half of which i was given to Scheble. which the evidence indicates was divided equally with Macnen. "During the past four years 27,000 let- ter boxes have been distributed On rural friends,- Th)s 1,000 shares issued to Edwin B. Bacon was returned to the company anonymously in a blank en velope after this investigation began. Bacon states that he Jiever saw the stock, and did not know that it was in existence. Heath refused to make a written statement but stated verbally to Inspector Simmons that Me never heard of the stock, and had no interest in the company directly or Indirectly. "Machen alleges that what he did for this company was at the earnest sollcl tatlon of ex-Congressman Loud. Rich ardson states that Mr. Loud had no pecuniary Interest In the company; that he never offered f.oud any stock, be cause he thought such an offer would be resented, but that he did give 150 shares to H.

President Roosevelt, after carefu' perusal of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Brlstow's report, approved It and commended Mr. Brlstow and hla in spectors on the manner of their thorough work and Its value.

Tha, cases against both those within and witn6it the post offlce department who by their acts have brought themselves within the grasp of the law. will be pushed with the utmost vigor.

In pursuance of this policy the Individuals above enumerated have been indicted. In no caB8 has the Indict ment been sought save where the ofilc lals of the government were convinced of the mans guilt; and in every case the government will exhaust every ex pedient in its power In the effort to see that justice is meted out to the offen ders.

The friends of both are hard at work and It will take the returns to decide. The three-cornered fight over councilman In the third ward, where Worrell and Mar shall are the republican candidates and Farrell la the democratic nominee, is being watched with interest throughout the city. Marshall declined the Kepuo- llcatj nomination In the city convention, but afterward a petition waa circulated and signed by Democrats ana social iats, together with a few Republicans, nominating him for the place. The pe tit ion of Worrell was being circulated at the same time and bears the names of a majority of the Republican deie gates to the city convention from that ward. Both petitions were receivea oy the' recorder at precisely the same time and both names appear on the ticket as Romiblican. At first glance it was thought to insure the election of Farrell but when the two parties compieiea their polls of the ward It was learned that the Democrats had barely 100 votes nut of a total of about 400. This ooes not augur well for Farrell. and during the past few days the Worrell stock has had a decided boom. . Hot the Only Pebbles.
