More Indictments on Tap.

Washington, June 1S.-The federal
grand jury which is investigating pos
tai affairs, probably will bring in five
indictments in a few days against per-
sons involved. 1t is earned on I'M
questioned authority that the jury a

August w. Machen, Diller B. Croft.
Samuel A. Croft, George E. Loreaz n
Lorenz, the two latter beng resi-
dents of Toledo, Ohio. The specific
charge, it is understood, will be con-
'spiracy to defraud the government.
The sensational feature Of today's
probable proceedings is the connection

|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 con-
elusive enough to establish the iden-
ltify of this particular party. Whether
Tor not Mrs. LorenZ acted in this capac-
lily is not known, but it has been Sug-
