OTHER ARRESTS ARE EXPECTED

IMPLICATED.

Washington, June AS result OF
the sweeping investigation of affairs
at the postoff1ce department, Thomas
w. McGregor, clerk in charge OF the
supplies for the rural free delivery
service, and G. Ellsworth Upton OF
Baltimore, one Of McGregor's assis-
tants, yesterday were arrested on the
charge of conspiracy with Charles p.
Smith Of Baltimore to defraud the
government In the purchase OF the
leather pouches furnished the rural
carriers throughout the t~Intry. The
complaint sets forth that McGregor
and Upton agreed with Smith to OBJ
tain for him the orders for many thou
sands of leather pouches such as are
used by rural letter carriers. The
price agreed upon was 80 cents per
pouch; the actual value was less than
SO cents. Smith was to pay to them
the difference betwee1- 80 and SO cents
per pouch. It is stated at the depart
ment that the actual number OF
pouches which were purchased ex-
ceeded 10000, for which the govern
ment paid 80 cents each, or $4,000 in
all. Smith received and retained Of
this for his own use 100000 The re-
naming $4,000 was
Paid to McGregor and Upton.
The government could have bought
the entire number of pouches from the
manufacturers for $4,000. McGregor
was the clerk in charge Of rural free
delivery supplies and Upton was one
Of his assistants. Their cases make
seven arrests in all since the investi-
cation began Other arrests are ex-
pected later.
