Washington. November 3O.-In his report on the investigation of scandals in the postoffice department, Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow lays especial stress on the alleged official misconduct of August w. Machen and Charles w.. Beavers. MT Heath immediately made a vigorous denial of every charge in the report, and stated that the whole busi- ness was merely case of malicious per- secution. Other denials and protests are being heard in various parts of the land.
 Referring to the division of free de- livery, MT. Bristow says;

Division of Free Delivery.

August W. Machen entered the postal service as a clerk in the Toledo. Ohio, postoffice, and was appointed assistant postmaster in 1887 by Postmaster George E. Lorenze. On July 31, Lorenze retired from office. In 1893, Machen came to Washington in the hope of securing some kind of a federal position under Presi- dent Cleveland's second administra tion On May 6, 1893, he was appointed assist ant superintendent of free delivery, and on September 16 following he was made superintendent. At that time he was a bankrupt financially, with numerous judgments recorded against him. When he left Toledo he borrowed sums of mon ey from friends, promising to repay these loans out of the first salary that he re- ceived which he failed to do. Various fraudulent representations were made to secure loans. and upon one occasion he even resorted to forgery"

Crawford Contract.

On June 30, 1902 the contract with Stern expired. and a new contract was entered into for a period of four years from that date with the Postal Device and Lock company of New York, represented by William G. Crawford of Washington, D. c. Crawford was the deputy auditor for the postoffce department under the last Cleveland administration.
 Before the bids were opened Crawford enlisted the services of George E. Lorenz, of Toledo, O., to aid him in securing the contract. An agreement was entered into between Lorenz and Crawford whereby Lorenz was to receive a specific amount on each satchel as his share of the profits, and he was to furnish the straps. An analysis of the accounts shows that the money which was paid to Lorenz by Crawford was subdivided between Lorenz, Machen and Crawford. Machen and Lorenz each received 371s per cent and Crawford 20 per cent. The straps which Lorenz agreed to provide were never fur nshed by him, but by Machen, and paid for by the department.
 This was probably the most skillful and complex scheme invented by any of the postal grafters" It consisted of a double conspiracy: First, Lorenz and Machen conspired with Crawford to de- fraud the government out of the price of the straps; then Crawford considered with Machen and Lorenz to defraud his own company out of the profits on the manufacture of the satchels, while on the side was Long and Machen receiving d graft on straps from Lamb.
 On July 31, 1903, Machen, Crawford, George E. Lorenz, and Martha J. Lorenz were indicted by the federal grand jury in the District of Columbia for conspiracy to defraud.

May Be Further Developments.


 In the preparation of cases for trial where indictments have been found, in- formation may be secured which will necessitate further investigation and pos sibly involve persons not now implicated. More than forty inspectors have hecn employed upon this wor.S, some of them continuously every day sIncs the inves5i- gation began. The records pt 1000 post offices have been examined and the files of many divisions of the department cov- ering a period of from six to ten years, scrutinized.
 The system of organized corruption that has been disclosed began in 1893 and rcn- tinued until stopped by this Investigation. the amount of money secured by the ccr- rupt officials and their confederates is small as compared to the total loss to the government To illustrates There IS no evidence that Louis received any compen- sation from Ault & Wiborg, yet during the first year of his administration the expenditure for canceling ink increased over S1000C.
 It does not appear that Kempner receiv- ed money from the manifold company, yet the cost of manifold supplies increas- ed more than $4O,0O0 year.
 Barrett received but s6000 from Arnold yet that company defrauded the people out of over s3,00o, GOO.
 Machen probably did not receive more tiieiil S-ouVV lioih tue tfIOH fastener. Yet the government has paid apIro roximately S13o,0OO for that device, which represents net loss, since the deoa t.nent con:in- ued. by the terms of the contract for letter boxes, to pay the orgiaai fasteners
 Beavers and his associates received less than $20,0 900 from the automatic cashier Yet the department expended S74275 for this wholly unnecessary machine.
 The total amount that the perpetrators of SplV not be definitely learned, but it will ag- gregate between s300,00 and $4O0 GOO. while the loss to the government, considering the unnecessary supplies that have been purchased and the inferior quality of those furnished by fraudulent contractors can not be estimated with any degree of accuracy.
 As the gross abuses have been brought to light they have been promptly correct ed by the proper departmental officers. Contracts where fraud has been discov- cred have been annulled.
 As a result of the investigation four officers and employees of the department have resigned and thirteen have been re- moved. Forty-four indictments have been found, involving thirty-one persons, ten of whom have been connected with the postal service. Attached to this report is a list of those who have been sepa- rated from the service by resignation and removal; also a list of the indict- ments and the persons involved.

The Croft fastener is patented device for attaching street letter boxes to posts. No contract was ever executed for these fasteners. They were bought by Machen direct. This method of attaching letter boxes was not a necessity, and in many places postmasters did not consider it satisfactory. The cost of the manufac- ture of the patent fastener was 25 cents each For many years the department paid S1.50, but the price was afterwards reduced to $1.25
 Of the SIPS. 25 that during eight years has been paid the Groffs by the depart ment Machen and Lorenz have received about $51, 46O.
 The Groffs, Machen, and MT. and Mrs. Lorenz were indicted by the federal grand jury in the District of Columbia on June 5, s, and 22, 1903, for conspiracy to defraud and the offering and receiving of bribes
