MACHEN BACK IN 1T
HE WAS NOT LONG OUT OF THE
ID. ~ b. RAILROAD.
BIRD M. ROBINSON PRESIDENT
AND MACHEN PRESIDENT OF CON-
sTRUCTION COMPANY.

Reorganization Was Effected ut a
Meeting in New YOrLAInterests
Hostile to Machen Were Bought
Ont and 1t Is Declared That His
Plans Are to Be vigorously Prose-
cuted-$50O,OOO to BE Devoted to
Immediate Acknowledgement
With the Southern and other
Lines to he Made.
New York. June 22.-The Brunswick
and Birmingham Railroad has again
been reorganized and Col. Machen, a
Georgian, who built it, is once more
on top.
The reorganization meeting was held
to-day at the company's local office on
Broadway. Bird NJ. Robinson, president
of the Knoxville and Bristol, and a
we'll known Wall street leader, was
elected president. Those officials who
were originally appointed to the board
by Machen were reelected. Banker
Fairburn resigned. His interests and
those of men who were friendly to
former Senator McLaurin and opposed
to Machen were bought outright.
The new board voted $500, 900 for i'm
mediate expenditure in further con-
struction of the road and pushing it
on to tap other roads, especially the
Southern. Orders were given to build
seventy-five miles to the Southern at
| once.
President Robinson said that he had
just returned from a visit to Bruins
wick. He accompanied Col. Machen
over the road. His inspection was sat-
isfactory, and he Immediately purchas-
ed all possible interests. He declared
| that the road was now re-habilitated;
that the directorate had been thor
oughly cleaned out of opponents to
| Col. Machen's plans; that the cloud
was now off it, and the progressive
plans outlined by Machen would be
pushed as vigorously as unlimited
money would permit.
Mr.. Robinson said 1t was unques-
tionably a profitable road. He said it
had been entirely divorced from the
steel plant and other encumbrances,
and would now "go it alone"
Construction COmpany's Head.
| The Robinson syndicate will reorgan-
ize the construction company, No one
would talk about this or give further
details, but it is understood that the
syndicate is composed of Robinson and
Machen, and that between them they
own the road. Col. Machen viii be
elected president of the construction
company and will go into active har-
ness again and take charge of every
thing.
Col. Machen left town tonight for
Washington but will not go South I'M
! til next week. 1t is expected that he
will have some important announce
ments and appointments to make in a
few days, including points at which the
road will tap the Southern and other
railroads.
1t is understood that Col. Machen has
made another fortune in this last re-
organization.

EXPENSIVE DEVICES
THAT WERE NOT NEEDED
POstonice Investigation Touches "a
California Company.

California company.
Washington, June 22.-The Post to-
morrow will say that among the mat
tiers which Fourth Assistant Postmas-
ter General Bristow is investigating is
the purchase from a California COM
pany, the Postal Device and Improve
ment Company, of some 1900 letter
box devices for indicating the hours
of collection of mail, the invention, 1t
is said of the postmaster at San Fran
cisco.
1t is said that 1000 of these devices
originally were ordered at a cost of
four dollars or more each, or a profit
of 100 per cent on cost, and the alle-
cation is made that a further order for
10000 more was placed. Notwithstanding
the original 1000 devices were not used,
but were reposing in a store house.
The company controlling the device was
largely made up OF California postal
employees, and the Post will say that 1t
is informed Representative Loud of
California, former chairman of the
House Postoffice Committee, took an
active part IN their behalf ard wrote
several letters. urging ne der Ne on the
department, and in one of them said 1t
would be an accommodation TO him IL
the matter was attended to.
After the company had difficulty in
securing it's money for the device, Mr..
Loud. the Post will say, appeared at
the department in its behalf, but spe-
officially disclaimed any interest in the
company other than that II was COM
posed of his constituents. He took the
ground that whatever the necessity or
lack of necessity for the device, con-
stituents of his had secured the con-
tract and furnished the article called
for. Therefore, he believed they
should be paid. as the government
had stipulated to pay them
The allegation was made, the Post
will say. that $4,000 of the deficiency
of $105,000 in the free delivery service,
with which Mr.. Machen is charged,
was due to purchases of the device in
question, but at the Postoffice Depart
ment this was denied.
