NEW INDICTMENTS
Federal Grand Jury to Issue
 Five More To-Day.
TRYING TO HUSH IT UP.
Specific Charge WEI Be Conspiracy to sDerraud Government -Spor1es Of a Go-Between Were Without Founda- ton.

u0ns
 Washington, June 1S.-The federal grand jury which has been investigat- ing postal affairs will, it is thought, bring ill live indictments to-day. As sistant District Attorney Taggart, who has the cases ill charge for the government, was at his office earlier than usual this morning and was bus fly engaged in going over the drafts of the indictments. He denied him. self to all callers.
 Although every effort has been made to keep the public in ignorance of the action to be taken until the papers were ready for presentation by the grand jury, it is learned on unquestioned au- thority that the jury has voted to re- turn indictments against August w. Machen, D. B. Groff. Samuel Groff, George T. Lorenz and Mrs Lorenz, the latter two being residents of Toledo, o. The specific charge, it is under stood, will be conspiracy to defraud the government.
 The fact that new indictments would be returned against Machen and the Groff brothers has been talked of for some time. but it was not expected that action would be taken so soon. The sensational feature of to-day's probable proceedings is the connection of Mrs Lorenz's name with the trans actions which led to the arrest of Ma chen and the Groffs. At the time of the arrests stories were in circulation that there was golbetween, but the 1.,+ elusive enough to establish the identity of this particular party. Whether or not Mrs Lorenz acted in this capacity is not known, but 1t was suggested that this go-between was woman.

The Weather of the Early Morning
 Was Decidedly Against Good
 Race-Twenty-O One Horses Are Nam
 ed to Start, But Dozen of Those
 Have No Chance of Winning.
 New York, June 1S.--A heavy rain during the night and drizzle this morning did not improve the track at Sheepshead Bay, which was opened to- day for the June meeting of the Coney Island Jockey club, the great event of which is the suburban handicap, scheduled this afternoon. The work which had been done on the track was almost completely destroyed by the downpour, turning the slow course to sloppy and sticky going. This served to make the suburban an even more puzzling proposition than usual. There were twenty-one horses named to start and of those 1t was felt that per haps a dozen had no chance. to win. As in the Brooklyn handicap, the w. O. Whitney entry was the favorite, in this case, Goldsmith, with Redfern up. He was quoted during the early day at four to one. His most dangerous ri- vals it is believed would be Igniter, Heno, Irish Lad and Major Danger field, but there were others that car ried money on past performances.
 Goldsmith, although he has not been seen under silk in nine straight months was strongly supported. He likes the turns at Sheepshead Bay and besides Trainer Rogers confirmed his reported work of a mile and quarter at Brighton Behch in 2:10a4, sure indi- cation of his return to perfect form. Burns will ride Irish Lad, but his inn post of 115 pounds was considered too heavy handicap. Heno defeated by Irish Lad in the Brooklyn handicap, has improved since then and was reck- oned a contender. Others mentioned xs possible winners were City Bank, Col Bill, Waterbury, Herbert, Articu- late and Yardarm.
 The value of the race is $19,000.

 Running after him, the smaller man found himself looking down the barrel of revolver heavier than his own.

offer to refund the money if it does

of it is doing himself or herself an
injustice.
The Hyomei treatment consists of
an inhaler that can be carried in the
vest pocket, a medicine dropper and
a bottle of Hyomei. The complete
treatment costs but $1.00 and as the
inhaler will last a lifetime and there is
sufficient Hyomei for more than a

expensive. Many people who have

1t did not seem possible that the Con-

Mrs. Brown assumed that the company
started its numbers at a. thousand or
a fifteen hundred-as some men do their
check books-to make a big impress
sion.
1t is difficult to determine just what
made Mrs. J. P. so indignant. 1t may
have been her innate sense of the pro-
prieties or 1t may have been the fact
that the girls who wouldn't nod their
heads to her, would shake hands with
a conductor. Whatever it was, she was
indignant, and she wrote a letter to the
Consoldated's manager complaining of
the demeanor of No. 1902. She re-
ceived a polite note couched in off,

Spanish proverb hath hair in front,
but in back, she is bald; if you wish

for when once she is past, the devil
himself could not overtake her. Mrs.
Brown made up her mind that she
would plant herself firmly in oppor-
tunity's pathway and get a good hold
on that forelock. She asked the clerk
where she could find Mrs. Cradle

Her husband came down that night
in time for dinner. To make their exit
they had to pass close to Mrs. j. P. s
table. AS they passed. the girl made
no sign of recognition. But Mrs.
Brown was glad, doubly glad that she
did not. For behind her stalked her
husband He was young and tall and
boyish looking. And he was something
else besides. Mrs. ]. Pendleton Brown
shivered as she recognized that fact.
He was none other than trolley car
conductor No. 1902 of the Bellport Main
Street Line. Good heavens! Some
poor some very poor relation of the
Cradlebaughs-and this was his situa-
ton with the Consolidated Traction
Company!
The state militia were in camp upon
the beach, and the Governor was en-
tertaining. 1t was his custom to give
a private reception to all his friends
upon the first night, and a public one
upon the second night.
Mrs. John P. Brown had been able,
by dint of much persistence and per-
suasion, to secure an invitation for
herself and old John P.
They rolled down the beach drive In
style and pulled up before the Govern
ors spacious cottage. A couple in
what appeared to be a hired rig, pulled
up just before them. There was some
thing familiar in their appearance that
attracted Mrs. John P S attention. She
thought she knew them and she was
right. AS they assembled the porch

her head and shoulder the light mantle

around in his pocket. Then he clapped
the negro on the back.

The negro was adamant. He would

The young conductor asked about it.
Mr. Brown explained. Then the con-

COOLING DRINKS

FOR SUMMER

The reign of the outdoor function
begins with the May days. Garden
parties, porch parties, moonlight dances
and picnics all offer pleasure to the
young people. And while the relaxa-
ton of summer gives these gatherings
an informal tone, the question of re-
freshments is still an important one.
Some receipts for simple drinks may
be of value to the perplexed hostess.
There are a number of non-alcohoiic
punches which are cooling and deli
cious. Fruit punch, which is one of
them, is made as follows:
While fresh fruits are always pre-
ferable, canned berries and pineapple
may be substituted Steep two gem
erous teaspoonfuls of tea in two quarts
of boiling water for five minutes. Then
strain and add one pound of lump SUI
gar, stirring until thoroughly dissolved
Crate the peel of eight good sized lem
ons and extract all the juice. Cut
three oranges into slices, shred one
pineapple, slice five bananas very thin,
and hull one pint of Strawberries. When
the tea is cold, add all the fruit and let
stand in the refrigerator for several
hours. Place a cube of ice in the punch
bowl, pour the mixture around it. and
when well chilled serve in punch glass
es. To get the best results from the
pineapple. peel and remove the eyes,
tear apart with silver fork, reject
the cores, sprinkle with sugar, and let
stand on the ice for twelve hours.
Currant Punch .-Currant jelly is the
main ingredient of this drink. Boil
together for five minutes a cupful of
sugar and three quarts of water. Re-
move from the fire and, while the syr-
up is still hot, dissolve in it two one
half pint glasses of current jelly. Add
three lemons and three oranges, sliced
very thin. Then set on ice until chilled
and serve in glasses partly filed with
crushed ice.
