THE MACHIN TRIAL.
The Defense Scores an Important
PoInt-Pcrry Heath f'estffies.

PoInt-Pcrry Heath E'estifies.
Washington, Jan. 16.--In the trial
Friday of August w. Machen, the
Croft brothers and DR.. and Mrs.
Lorenz, charged with conspiracy to
defraud the government, the defense
scored an important point with re-
spect to the character of evidence to
DE introduced at this time by the
government. The defense insisted
that the government had not brought
forth any documentary evidence
showing the existence of conspiracy
TO defraud the government, and that
which was being offered naturally
should follow the evidence of con-
spiracy. so as to specifically connect
the defendants with the various
transactions which had been referred
to. The court sustained the point.
: At one point in the trial Mr.. Doug
lass, for the defense. called on Justice
Pritchard to reprimand First Assist
ant Postmaster General Wynne for
volunteering the stat ement that a
former emplOye of the postotlice de-
partment recently had been SEN
fenced in Baltimore to term of two
years in the pcnitentlary. The sug-
gestion was not compiled with, but
the justice instructed the jury that
their minds must not be preiudiced by
the statement of Mr. Wynnc.
Perry 5. Heath, former first assist
ant postmaster general, who was call
ed from his home in Salt Lake City to
state what he knew about the admin
istration OF his office, was on the
stand during the day.
Former First Assistant Postmaster
General johnson gave testimony
as to the practice of his Office in the
free delivery division.

TRADE REVIEW.
General Situation Reports
Regarding Conditions in Leading

New York, Jan. 16.-R G. Dun d.
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Reports of Improvement in the vol
ume of business outnumber uniavor-
| able dispatches, although the situa-
ton is decidedly irregular. As the
money market becomes easier there
is better prospect of postponed work
being resumed. All structural lines
are largely dependent upon the abil-
ity of the railroads to borrow money
and the restoration of confidence
among investors. Only fair reports
are received regarding the leading
manufacturing lines. Many iron and
steel plants have resumed, but the
| preceding curtailment was very
severe.
Textile fabrics are as badly unset
tied as ever, lower prices for new
| lines of woolens proving disagree
able surprise to the many small OPP
orators, and speculation in cotton
rendering forward contracts for
goods an impossibility. Distribution
of merchandise increases with more
normal weather and clothing houses
report liberal orders for spring goods
| from statesmen at the west and south.
Only moderate improvement has
appeared thus far in the demand for
iron and steel products, although the
resumption of idle plants has attain
ed encouraging proportions.
Footwear buyers have appeared in
| the Boston market and are placing
| liberal orders for spring delivery i'll
the south and west while taking sam
pies of fall shoes.
Failures this week numbered 324
in the United States, against 267 last
year, and - in Canada, compared

There never existed married
man who did not cast admlrlng
glances at other women than his
wife, especially attractive women.
Thus is poor mans character
summed up in vast symposium
established by the club women OF
the country for the purpose OF de-
termining his culpability. They
might have added that there
never was an attractive woman III
the world, married Or single, who
wasn't pleased with admlrlng
chances from any man, married or
single, but they lost sight OF that
fact as well as one other. There
was a man once who had glances
for no other woman in the world
than his own wife. His name was
Adam. Therefore, if the women
have the least desire to be just,
they will recall their statement,
apologize to man, and give him
credit which is due him.

If President Roosevelt could
hear all the suggestions that are
being made as to how he should
conduct his administration for the
next four years and as to how he
will do the same, he must wonder
what he has been doing since TAX
ing up the reins of government
over three years ago. The wise
acres have the work mapped out
for him. down to the smallest de-
tails. and all he will have to do
is to touch the button and the
plans will do the rest. Before
the election had been "a hours
old the knowing ones had all the
Presidents plans made and ready
for publicity. These plans may
coincide with those of the Presi-
dent, and again, they may not.
