4 MACHEN'S PALS GIVEN JUBS Officers of Snpec.'s M ning Company Figure L:cge cn Pos cfie Payrou., PRESIDENT ORDERs PROBE SUNK DEEP cGregor and Upton Are Discharged, While Sensational Action May Be Taken at Almost Any Moment Now. (From a Staft Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, June 6.—(8pecial Tele- gram.)—Thomas W. McGregor and C. Ells- worth Upton, arrested yesterday charged with conspiracy to defraud the United Btates goyernment In purchase of mall pouches, were dismissed today. McGregor was credited to Nebraska and was charged with conspiring with Upton and Charles 8, Smith to obtain for him orders for many tlousands of leather mall pouches such as are used by rural carrlers. The price agroed upon was 9 cents per pouch, while the actual value was 60 cents. It is stated at the department that the actual number of pouches purchased ex- ceeded 2,00, for which the government paid %0 cents each, or $15,000 In all. Smith recetved and retained of this for his own use $10,000, the remaining $5,000 was paid to McGregor and Upton. The government could have bought the entire number of pouches from the manufacturers for 3,00, McGregor was appolnted from Nebraska in 181 as a messenger In the free de- livery division under Mr. Machen. The latter early professed to see great possibil- ities and abilities in him and rapldly pushed him to the front. From messenger's work McGregor was transferred to clerical work, for which, it Is said, he was not well fitted at the time. Encouraged by Mr. Machen he applied himselt asslduously and was advanced from one position to an- other until at the time of his arrest he was chief of the rural free delivery sup- Pplles. Machen Boasts of McGregor. Mr. Machen frequently boasted that Mc- Gregor was his creatlol that he detected his latent ability; that but for him the Nebraskan would still have been messenger, and that McGregor's rapld rise was dis- tinctive tribute to his discernment. Upton was an order clerk under McGregor, and was appointed from Maryland in 189, President Roosevelt fully approves the ac- tion of the postoffice oficlals in pressing the Investigation of the department's af- faira. It is his intention that the investi- gation shall be sweeping and thorough and that every charge properly vouched for shall be probed to the bottom. The situation was considered in its gen- eral phases at the meeting of the cabinet today, but Postmaster General Payne did ot go fully into detafls. This afternoon, Bowever, the president and Mr. Payne had s long conference. It is understood that the president expressed to Mr. Payne his desire that the investigation be as search- Ing as the Ingenuity of the officials could make It, and should be pursued until the department has been purged of even the suspicion of dishonesty. Immediately after Mr. Payne returned to the department from the White House he sent for Mr. Bristow, whom he aquajnted with the pres- \dent's views. Mr. Bristow sald tonight that he was not anticipating any Important developments tonight or tomorrow, although in view of the constant activity of the twenty-five inspectors employed In tho work and of the president's earnest approval of the investigation and his instructions to “go to the bottom,” important action at any moment would occasion no surprise. Smith Is S Free Man. Ofclals decline to discuss the status of the case of C, F. Smith, the Baltimore contractor who furnished tho supplies that figured consplcuously n the proceeding agalnst McGregor and Upton. It is signif- cant, however, that he has not been ar- rested so far, although the Inspectors are in touch with him. The investigating offi- cers refused to answer questions today as to whether he was to ive state’s evidence. Mr. Machen's statement yesterday that George E. Lorenz of Toledo, O., was shis partner in mining enterprises is confirmed by articles of incorporation of the National Capital Copper Mining company, & corporu- tion organised at Alexandria, Va., coples of which are in the possession of the postal authorities, The directors are named as follows in the Incorporation papers: August W.

Before 10:30 o'clock the cabinet, with the ex3eption of Secretary Shaw, had assembled in their room in tha executive offices. They were in session shortly before noon. Postmaster General Payne and Secretary Root remained with the president after the other members had departed. Each mem- ber of the cabinet made a brief statement regarding conditions in his department, the postmaster general naturally consum- ing more time than the others in detailing the progress of the investigations in his department.

PROPERTY OWNERS PAY ONE-THIRD ONLY | Twenty-Third and Thirtieth Streets Likely to Be Favored—New San- itary Stock Car Orders— General Gossip, Since the heavy rains the attention of the people has been called very forcibly to the need of more paved streets, There was a scheme set on foot Saturday to pave Twenty-third street from A street on the north to either N or Q strect on the south. Those who are interested in seeing this strect paved assert that the cost would not amount to a great deal as the street proper has been narrowed by ordinance to thirty feet in width. Under the new charter, it Is said, this pavement can be laid by a vote of the councll, the mayer concurring. One-third of the cost to be taxed to the abutting property and two-thirds to the city at large. With asphalt pavemnt selling at §2 a square yard, the cost of paving in front of a sixty-foot lot would be 3200. At this rate the cost to the abutting property own- ers would be 167, and the city would be called upon to pay the balance. This question of paving ‘Twenty-third street Is to be brought up in the council at an early date in order that those who favor the plan and those who are opposed may have an opportunity of expressing their opinions. Thirtieth street, from Q street south to Y street, is to be paved this summer with vitritied brick. As with Twenty-third street, the width of Thirtieth street has been reduced to thirty feet and it is po \tively stated that there will be no oppo- ition to the paving, as there is & great deal of travel on the street both summer and winter When the paving fever catches the peo- ple it is expected that the council will be called upon to act upon a large number of petitions. meas may be devised for the paving of Rallroad avenue to the county line, This is & matt of great im- portance and will doubtless be taken up by the proper officials within the next week or two. New Sanitary Regulations, Yesterday Dr. Don C. Ayer, chiet in- spector of the bureau of animal industry at South Omaha, received orders to be is- sued to the rallroads regarding the clean: ing of cars hauling stock.

For some time cars haullng sheep have been disinfected. The new orcer extends to cars conveying hogs. It is the inten- tion of Secretary Wilson to do everything in his power to stamp out scab in sheep end cholera in hogs.
