TRUE BILLS
ARE NOW
EXPECTED
Five indictments In Connection
With Postal Fraud Cases
Looked for To-day.

Washington. June 1s.--The federal
grand jury which has been investigating
postal affairs will. IL Is thought. bring In
five indictments today. Assistant District
Attorney Taggart. who has the cases In
charge for the government. was at his
office earlier than usual this morning.
and was busily engaged In going over the
drafts OF the indictments. He denied
himself 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 unauestionable authority
that the jury has voted TO return indict-
ments against August w. Machen. Dilier
h. Croff, Samuel Groff. George K. Lo-
REM and Mrs. Lorenz. the latter two being
residents OF Toledo. Ohio. The SPECIFIC
charge, 1t Is understood. will be con-
spiracy to defraud the government.
The fact that new indictments would
be returned against Machen and the Gron
brothers has been talked off for some
time but IL was not expected that action
would be taken so soon. The sensational
feature OF today's probable proceedings
Is the connection OF Mr.. Lorenz's name
with the transactions which led TO the
arrest OF Machen and the Groffs. At the
time OF the arrests storlies were I'm circu-
lation that there was a between. but
the information at hand then was not
conclusive enough TO establish the iden-
tity OF this particular party. Whether or
not Mrs Lorenz acted In this capacity
Is not known. but II was suggested that
this go-between was woman.

Right Of Search Bills.

Boston, June ls-Two vetoes from Gov.
Bates were received by the house this
morning. One was that Of the bill max
ing eight hours a days work for state
and county employees and the other, of
the bin 10 repeal the law giving deputies
OF the Ash and game commission the
right TO search cars, boats, etc, Tor
short Holsters
In the case OF the eight hour law, the
chief reason given for the veto Is that
the adoption OF the law Is unconstitu-
tional. In the case OF the right OF
search bill. the governor says that the
repeal OF the present law would tie the
hands Of the fish and game commission
ers and make possible constant tnfrac-
tions with impunity in spite of the right
OF search.
The veto against the right OF search
law was unanimously sustained by a
vote of 105.
After discussing the veto on the eight
hour law, the house sustained the COVER
nor 90 in favor OF the veto and 4S IN
favor OF passing the bill over the vote.
