NEW CHARGES
A. w. MAcHEN MAY BE INDICTED
AGAIN ON THE CHARGE OF
FORGERY.

Washington, D. c., June lit is
believed that the grand jury will short
ly be asked by the postoffice authori-
ties to find another Indictment against
A. w Machen. The charge, it is said
will be forgery, based upon the cash
ing OF check for $3.50, drawn by the
cashier of the New York postoftice in
favor of Henry L. Lorenz, Toledo.
The check was cashed in this city
being endorsed by Frank J. Raymond,
who says he had the check cashed for
Machen. Lorenz declared that the sig
natures both on check and vouchers
accompanying it are forgeries.
Ex-coneressman Accused.
Washington, d. c., June 17.-Post-
master General Payne has decided to
prosecute eX-Representative Edmund
H. briggs, a democrat of New York,
who will be charged with bribery
growing out of acceptance of a fee
from the Brandt Automatic Cash Reg.
lister company for representing that
company while Briggs was a member
of the house. The officers of the Au.
tomato company will be prosecuted on
the charge of offering bribe.
briggs, who was charged with receiv.
ing a fee of S12,5OO a year for four
years he was in congress, has ad
mitted in letter to the postmaster
general that he did accept theNfee, and
asserts that he committed no wrong
in doing SO. One of the most signifi.
cant facts in connection with this
transaction, it is alleged, is that as soon
as Driggs' term expired, the Brandt
Automatic Cash Register company
ceased to pay briggs the $12,5OO a
year.
The officials of the postoffice de-
partment do not agree with the for
mer congressman that he was acting
within the law when he accepted the
fee. They contend that Mr.. briggs
has violated one of the criminal stat
utes of the United States in that he
was practically under the pay of the
Brandt Automatic company while he
was performing his duties as a mem.
Der of congress while the postal ap.
preparation bill was under considera.
ton. The appropriation for the pur.
chase of registers by the government
was contained in this appropriation
measure. although it is not mentioned
specifically.
