 The meeting was called to order by Chairman Love, who introduced Rev. Err nest C. Nave, pastor of the Fifth Avenue hIethodist Church, who invoked divine guidance on the deliberations of the meeting.
 Chairman Love Speaks.
 Chairman Love then briefly addressed the audience before introducing the speakers. He said that a few weeks ago he had been asked to preside over the meeting. He had asked what qualified tions of master of ceremonies he pos sessed that he should be called on to perform such an honorable task. He had received the reply that he was an expert. MT. Love agreed that he was an ex for he had done everything in the transpor- tation department of a railroad and was now retired. He did not. however, admit the quality of being pert. MT. Love said that he had once been considered an ex- pert engineer. During his service he had always contrived to get more off days than any of the engineers. The same ex- pertness, he said, followed him, when he was promoted to be superintendent until he sent in his resignation.
 "Superintendents always resign" said MT. Love.

THE MACHEN GO-BETwEEN
Said to Be Old Friends of His
 in Toledo.
Case Against Opposed superinten- dent of Free Delivery Will Be Presented to United States
 Grand Jury Next Friday.

Washington. June 2.-rhe investigation of affairs at the Postofice Department is proceeding as rapidly as possible, and the investigating officials hope to close their inquiries by August 1. Postmaster Gen. eral Payne said today that all the salient points of the investigation probably would be disposed of by the end of this month, but that the rest of the work might con- tinue for & considerable time. The only development announced at the depart ment today was the promulgation of the letter of former Assistant Postmaster General Heath. who enters a denial of the Tulloch charges.
 The go-betweens who, 1t is alleged. figured in transactions which led to the arrest of August W. Machen. the former general superintendent of the free de- livery system, are understood to be mem- bers of firm In Toledo, Ohio, the former home of Machen.
 Others Are Suspected.
 Although it is known authoritatively that there are several persons whose arrests may be decided on at any time, Postmaster General Payne said tonight that so far as he Is advised no immediate arrests are in contemplation.
 The preliminary hearing of Machen be- fore a United States Commissioner which IS SCne0uleu TOT next FT1uay, may De rendered unnecessary in case the grand jury should report an indictment against him. The case will be presented to that body tomorrow, when a number of wit nesses subpoened by the government will make their appearance. An indictment would relieve the government from the necessity of disclosing it's evidence prior to the trial of the case In court and would require the re-arrest of Machen on a bench warrant and the furnishing of fresh bonds. Assistant United States District Attorney Taggart and Postoffice Inspector Mayer of Chicago who worked up most of the evidence are in close consultation arranging for the presentation of the case tc the grand jury.
 Postmaster General Payne soon after the preSidents return to Washington will report to him informally on the work that has been done.
