| to constitute an incident which is the
occasion of the greatest satisfaction
| to the Presidents friends AZ ii has
demonstrated his wide spread popu-

|
clans to permit the use of their names
| az presidential possibilities is also re-
garded AZ most encouraging sign, as

The most startling and sensational
development in the Postoilice scan.
dial has occurred within the past week
August w Machen, general super
intendent Of free delivery, has been
dismissed toI malteasance in office,
has been arrested, charged with ac-
capting bride estimated at So, 900
and has been released on bail to the
amount OF $50, 900. The arrest of
| Machen breaks the ring which has
long looted the Government through
! Postotlice channels, believing them
| selves secure because of the political
influence which they had created by
! lavish use OF the federal funds. Other
and almost az sensational arrests arr
promised IN the near future and it is
believed the end is Aow in sight. The
| detection of MuCheu's criminality was
accomplished by what Postmaster
General Payne describes "a the clev-
crest piece OF detective work in his
experience. No word was breathed
TO any official 10y Fourth Assistant
| Postmaster General Bristow, regard
ing the trall which the inspectors tad
struck, until the chain OF evidence
was complete ANA Machen had vir-
tually broken down under the search
ing cateohising to which he had been
subjected 10y krisIow and hts assist
ants The facts were then laid before
the Postmaster General who signed
the required request Tor warrant
for Machen's arrest.
