conference yesterday morning with
Charles ]. Bonaparte and Holmes Con-
rad, special counsel, nominated by
President Roosevelt to assist in the
prosecution of the men indicted for post
al frauds. Mr. Payne said the work OF
the two attorneys in investigating the
sTulloeh charges had been completed. and
that they would at once proceed to pre-
pare the cases against the indicted men.
Mr.. Payne said he did not know when
the men indicted on Wednesday so"-d
he arrested. Mr.. Payne has left 20 ;he
Department Of Justice the question OF
re-arresting A. w Machen, ex-superil-
tendent of free delivery. and requiring

is under at present-s
Arrests Follow Indictments.
DR.. Eugene D. Scheble. OF Toledo. Ohio.
was arrested on Friday and released OF
bail. Dr. Scheble was notified by means
OF long distance telephone of his il
dictment within few hours after the
grand jury took action and was not sur
prised when the warrant was served. He
had already engaged counsel ard ar
ranged for bail.
George w. Beavers, superintendent
OF the division OF salaries and allow
anees, surrendered when he heard there
was a warrant for him and was placed
under additional bond.
Chief Inspector Cochran said yesterday
morning the department anticipated No
trouble in apprehending the other men
New Yorkers Not at Home
Isaac s Mcclellan and George H.
Huntington, the New York members OF
the Columbia Supply Company. who were
indicted. were not in New York wher
the inspectors went after Them. One
idea advanced was that they sought tenn
porary relief from arrest while arrang.
ing for bail. and another was they are
seeking permanent safety in flight The
inspectors are confident both men viii
be arrested in reasonable time.
Postmaster General Payne expects
twelve or fourteen additional indict-
rnents to be brought in by the Federal
grand jury here early next week These
eases are all said TO have been finished
In readiness for reporting. 1t is consii-
cred doubtful whether any further cases
Wiu be presented TO the g. nj jury.
This will certainly not be done unless
.urther frauds shall be developed. aud it
IS believed the entire matter has been
pretty thoroughly sisted.
