WASHINGTON, June 17.—The Grand | | Jury will be asked by the postoffice au- thorities to find another indictment sgainst A. W. Machen, the former super- intendent of the free delivery system. The charge will be forgery, based on the cashing of a check for $369, drawn by the cashier of the New York postoffice in favor of Henry L. Lorenz of Toledo. It | is claimed that the money was to have | been sent to Lorenz in care of Machen. | Thé check was cashed in this city, being indorsed by Frank K. Raymond, who saye he had the check cashed for Machen. | Lorenz has declared that the signature of | both check and the voucher accompany- ing it are forgeries. He declares that he has not received a cent of the money and | has no knowledge of the transaction. The forgery is alleged to have occurred in 1884, when Lorenz, as Commissioner of the Court of Claims, was engaged in ad- | Justing the claims of letter-carriers. The check on which Machen 15 accused of having indorsed Lorenz’s name was is- sued on a voucher drawn on the post- master at New York. As Lorenz was go- ing away on a confidentail mission, a re- quest was made that the cash be sent to Machen, to be dellvered to Lorenz. On account of irregularities in the voucher the check was sent instead, and this check, bearing Lorenz's indorsement, was cashed at & bank in this city. The check wag presented by Raymond at the request of Machen and he says he turned the money over to Machen. The facts were brought out at a Congressional investiga- tion, but Macheén said at that time that the signature was that of Lorenz. The general impression is that the in- dictment will be returned before the close of the present week and it Is intimated that ‘other indictments will be returned et the same time. ————— WASHINGTON, J Plans tor the two = :mo;r-m: fi the'l-ln Congrees, were .:;:;;a to-dey by the Board of Construction.

In a summary «of the several reports the Postmaster General says: e charge of Mr. Tulloch is, in its sence, sgaimat President McKinley and Pos master General Smith. President McKinley is ro longer Ifving; Postmaster General Smith, Who carried out President McKinleys policy, has answered for himself. With rég to the present management the Washington postoffice and the conduct of any and all men charged with wrong doing who have been in the postal service under the present adminis- tration, a thorough and searching investiga- tion fe mow being made, and when it is ended all of the facts in the case will be made pub- lic, as also whatever action may be taken in’view of such facts, Payne quotes from the recently pub- lished reply of Smith, and adds that these are now published “in order to complete the: public understanding of a matter, a large part of which has already been published. The papers are filed with- out action, for the reason that they relate to the husiness of a prior administration. The subject matter of complaint is four vears old and all action thereunder was closed over two years ago.” The @ocuments made public to-day show that on May 1 last Payne wrote a letter to Bristow calling attention to the public interview with Tulloch and atked | military military postal service, miscellaneous, $15,063; service payroll, $30,259, and it fs suggested that this account be promptly ad- justed, more especially the item of postage stamps and stamped paper advanced to the following persons assigned to duty in connec- tion with the postal service in Porto Rico, | viz: McKenna, $2100; Whitney, $3010; Va- Alstyne, $2100; Graff, $559; Bristow, $5000. Total, $12,700. Expenditures irregularly charged to the Washington office and which belonged to the department itself are specified in this exhibit. It says that Robert V. Willet, a son of the postmaster, at that time drew two salaries from July 1 to Decem- ber 10, 1898—one as a laborer at the city postoffice at $600 a year and the other as a mechanic at,$2 a day for each working day on what appears to have been a spe- cial roll of the free delivery service, and that N. H. Baker likewise was designated as a laborer on the postoffice roll, April 20, 1809, at $700 per annum, and on the same date as mechanic on the free deliv- ery roll at §2 a day. The inspectors, continuing, say that on June 30, 1899, twenty-two employes were borne on the rolls and paid on what has been known as the “military roll,” while the “military roll” shows thirty-tfour names as having been paid by the cash- fer of the Washington Postoffice. There was also found a “special roll” of employes paid from miscellaneous allow- ances, said appointments being under control of the Postoffice Department. This roll consists of nine ‘‘cleaners” with sal- aries from $400 to $600, and one ‘‘physi- clan” at a salary of $1700. Some of these cleaners” appear to have performed very light gervice and others none at all. NO VOUCHERS FORTHCOMING. The most important exhibit fs the con- fidentlal report of Postoffice Inspector in Charge Smith of the Washington division | in July, 1899, setting forth irregularitiés which he urged should be investigated. He named four employes on the military roll who appear not to have performed any service in connection with military postal affairs and for whose original ap- pointment or continuance on the roll no good reason existed. The payment to W. 8. Larner, a military postal clerk, under protest, by the cashler of $118 93, subse- quently disallowed by the Auditor of the Treasury on January 4, 18%9, is gone into at length and it is shown that this matter was entirely irregular and that paymencs were directed withbut proper vouchers. The inspector says that while the cashier was out of the office temporarily, and having left no instructions, no final pay- ment could be made to Larner until his expense account was adjusted by the au- ditor. Larner called and demanded an imme- diate settlement and when settiement Bristow “what truth, if any. there is in | Was not made at once he appealed to the the statements. and particularly, upon that part which speaks of your connec- tion and that of the postoffice inspectors.” Bristow's reply in full, dated three days later, is in vart ag follows BRISTOW SUBMITS REPORTS. In response to vour inauiry of May 1, 1903 as o the truth or falsity of the assertions of Mr W. Tulloch, thal appeared in an in terview by him fp the Washington Post of that date, 1 beg td hand you herewith an ab stract of three reports made by the inspectors on the conditioh of the Washington postoffice. The first, marked “Exhibit A~ refers to the transfer of the postoffice to Hon. John A. Mer- ritt. incoming postmaster, by Mr. James P, Willett, - retiring postmaster, which oceurr June 30, 1809. At the time this inspection wae in progress, as nearly as | can rémember, Chief Ingpector Cochran and In€pector-i Charge SMIth called upon me and advised that the Inspectors’ division of the Postoffice Department had discovered many irregularitics of a ous nature which sesmed to be au thorized hy the department.

Beavers. chlef of the salary and allow ance division, had suggested to one of the inepectors that when he came to certain ap- pointments in some of ine stations that ap peared irregular he had better make no refer- ence to them, as they had been ordered per. personally by th® Postmaster General. I told the chief inspector to instruct the inspectors to report the facts as they would in any other inspection; that T did not belleve the Post- master General had knowingly authorized any irregularities Captain W.

Archie Lipsett of San Jose Travels to Obtain Son’s Body. SAN JOSE, June 17.—Archie Lipsett of this city, whose son, Wallace Lipsett, and family were drowned at Heppner, started on a long and sorrowful journey this evening to the town that was almost wiped out by a cloudburst. He goes for the purpose of securing the remains of his son and family and bringing them t» this city for burial if possible. Wallace Lipsett was the only son of his parents, and they are nearly heart-broken ove: his death. He had been at Heppner but two years, and was soon to be promoted from bookkeeper to general manager and sc retAry of the Morrow County Wool ard Grain Company.

Mrs. Lipsett was formerly Miss Ada Bartlett, daughter of Mrs. Florinda Bart- lett of.1313 Brush street, Oakland, and a niece of Mr. Farnsworth of San Fran- cisco. Mrs. Lipsett and her baby spent a month with Mr. Lipsett’s parents here this spring. Wallace Lipsett was 31 years of age. He was raised at Gilroy, where he graduated from the grammar school and later from a business college in this city. For | eighteen montlis he was on the United States steamer Albatross, and it was on his return from this seafaring trip that he met Miss Bartlett in San Francisco and was married. LIST OF THE DEAD.

A RS SUPPLIES FOR SUFFERERS. Portland Sends a Carload of Provi- sions to, Morrow County. PORTLAND, Or., June 17.—A carload of supplies was shipped to Heppner to-night to feed the flood sufferers and the army of workmen who have gone there to as- sist in clearing away the wreckage. A carload of tools and one of lime were also sent.

The Inspector reports ‘“‘no one has certified to the actual time Smith was employed, nor has any statement been attached to his pay vouchers showing what particular service he rendered. He was continued in the dual capacity of clerk and mechanic until April 1, 1899, whén he was promoted to be finance clerk at $1700 a year.” Attention is called to seven cleaners placed on the pay roll of the Washington office under authority of the First Assist- ant Postmaster General to be charged to the appropriation for miscellaneous ex- penses. The Inspector says that neither the postmaster nor any one connected with the Washington office was aple to give any information as to where they were employed or the nature of their werk, and the Inspector is of the opinion that practically no service whatever has beéen rendered for the money expended. In conclusion the inspector says that the files of the cashier's office show fully direct and positive orders from superior authority for the disbursement of all the questionable items mentioned in the in- spector's report, that the responsibility for the many illegal appointments, the payment of two salaries to one and the same person and thé disbursement of thousands of dollars for which practi- cally no service was performed should be placed where it properly belongs and the many abusés corrected. The monthly exhibition of the San Francisco Athletic Club last night was not up to the usually high standard main- tained by Greggains’ organization. In the main event George Murray won from Jack Welch of Portland in three rounds. Weich proved a quitter.
