tai INVESTIGATION.
OHIO WOMAN AAONe THOSE INDICTED
NAME OF MRS. GEORGE E. LoRENz
COUPLED WITH MACHEN
AND SEVERAL OTHERS.

Washington, June 19.-The federal
grand jury which has been investigat-
ing postal affairs is. expected shortly
to bring in five indictments against
persons involved. Assistant District
Attorney Taggart, who has che cases
in charge for the government, was at
his Office earlier than usual in the
morning and was busily engaged in
going over the indictments. He de-
MED 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 unQues-
toned authority that the jury has
voted to return indictments against
August w. Machen, Dlller B. Croft,
Samuel A. Croft, George e. Lorenz and
Mrs. Lorenz, the two latter being resi-
dents of Toledo, o. The specific
charge, it is understood, will be con-
spiracy to defraud the government,
The fact that new indictments would
be returned against Machen and the
Croft brothers has been talked Of for
some time around the courthouse, but
1t was not expected that action would
be taken so soon. The sensational
feature of the probable proceedings
Is the connection of Mrs. Lorenz'
name with the transactions which led
to the arrest of Machen and the
Groffs. At the time Of the arrests
stories were in circulation that there
was a go-between, but the information
at hand then was not conclusive
enough to establish the identity OF

Narrowly Averted.
New York, June 19.-Some Of the
passengers who have just returned
from Europe on the steamer Kaiser
Wilhelm H. say tragedy was narrow
ly averted two days before the liner
reached port. The affair grew out
Of a card game. The names Of the
two men involved have not been
learned.
It was after midnight when the at
tention of persons in the smoking
room was attracted by three men play
ing poker. One Of the players, who
had called a large raise, suddenly
threw down his hand, jumped up and
struck the winner, whom he called a
"cheat."
In another moment the two men
were locked together and struggling
back and forth about the room. Tum-
bling over a chair both fell heavily.
The smaller man managed to gain his
freedom.
AS he jumped to his feet he reached
for a weapon, but on the instant that
he drew out a revolver the larger man
dashed out on deck.
Running after him the smaller man
found himself looking down the barrel
of a revolver heavier than his own.
He hesitated for only an instant and
was whirling his weapon into position
to fire when the men who had been
unwilling witnesses of the scrimmage
rushed upon him from behind and pin
ioned his arms behind his back. The
deck stewards aided in quieting the
two men and in preventing further
hosti1ities
