WASHINGTON, June 4.-The case of
August w. Machen, late superintendent of
the free delivery service of the Postoffice
Department, who is charged with having
received brides to the amount of $4,000 in
connection with department contracts, was
presented to the federal grand jury to-day.

sented the government. The first witness
was Andrew McBath, a chief of division in
the office Of auditor for the Postoffice De-
partment, who was under examination for
several hours. Inspector Mayer. who
worked up the case against Machen, fol-
lowed McBath. Another witness who was
present to give testimony was Mr.. Eckloff,

city. The secrecy with which the names of
the witnesses has been surrounded is still
maintained.

largely below expenses and where carriers
| do not perform the amount of service for
| which they are paid. He said that Ques-
ton has not yet been taken up. A rear
rangement of the divisions of the rural
| free delivery service. however, is one of
| the possible results Of the investigation
| and the Washington division of special
agents. which comprises what might be
called flying squadron" of inspectors,
| who, while reporting direct to the depart
ment, investigate cases in any of the other
divisions, may be eliminated and these
| agents transferred.
Fhe postmaster general was asked to-
day regarding the contracts for the time

which have been given considerable public
