JURY EMPANELLED.
TRIAL of Machen, Golf Brothers and
Others.

Washington, Jan. 12.-The work of
| empanelling jury in the trial of Au-
gust w. Machen, the Golf brothers and
Dr. and Mrs. Lorenz on the~Sharge of
conspiracy to defraud the 5crernment
In connection with the sale of letter
box fasteners, was completed today.
Following the swearing in of the
jury, counsel for the defendants NOV
ed that the government elect on which
count the trial would proceed Dis
trict Attorney Beach opposed the mo-
ton on the ground that the govern
ment was not required to do so.
Judge Pritchard said he would not
rule on this point until after the evil
dsnce was in.
John F. Kummler, of Toledo, o., of
counsel for the Lorenzs, wanted the
jury to inspect the Croft fastener,
and started in with a sarcastic refer
ence to Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow, but Judge Pritch-
ard stopped him, with the statement
that it was not the proper time to
submit such evidence.
The government scored a point
when Judge Pritchard allowed the
postoffice inspectors who are to go on
the stand to remain in the room, all
the other witnesses being excluded.
District Attorney Beach opened for
the government. He recited the sew
eral counts in the Indictment, specific
ally defining what is meant by con-
spiracy, and said that the defendants
had been brought into court on a
charge of dishonesty. He Gelated
the long-standing friendship of Ma
chen and the Lorenzs and their bust
Ings of the Groffs with the former SUI
perintendent of free delivery, and said
he would prove the payment to Ma
chen by the Groffs of 40 per cent of
the price of the fasteners, a part of
which went to the Lorenzs as inter
mediaries.
Counsel for defendants waived an
opening statement, whereupon an adj
1ournment until o'clock was taken.
Conspicuous among them in the
court room was former First Assistant
Postmaster General Perry S. Heath,
one of the witnesses for the govern
ment. First Lieutenant Postmaster
General Robert J. Wynne was also
present, as we'll as several members
Of congress.

Eher Rights Under New Commercial
Treaty Regarding Manohurla.
Pekin, Jan. 1.-THE uJzzs.**-a States
and Japan are strenuously endeavor-
ing to establish their rights In Man
churia under the new commercial
treaties before war breaks out
The ratifloations of the American
treaty were to have been exchanged
at Washington, but with the view of
obviating the delay involved in mail
ing the Chinese copy to Washington,
Minister Conger is urging the govern
ment to send telegraphic copy, and
to authorize the Chinese minister at
Washington to make the necessary
exchanges Herewith. 1t Is believed
there are precedents for such pro-
ceeding. Until the notifications are
exchanged it is impossible for the
United States to claim the right Of
sending consuls to Mukden and An
tung. The ratification of the treaty
between Japan and China was ex-
changed at the foreign office here yes
terday. A special agent brought the
Japanese copy from Toxic. The Chi
nese officials asked for the delay of
day to arrange some details but
the Japanese minister refused to
agree to any delay. This haste is
considered significant.
According to the latest reports here
Russia proposes to concede to Japan
no higher status in Manchuria than
is involved in the formal confirmation
of her treaty rights, thus confirming
similar reports from various sources
published in Europe and the United
States

How often have We read in the pa pers of a noble sacrifice by a father for his wife or family, and how ceep- ly interested do we feel in its reading. The old saying that truth is stranger than fiction still holds full sway.
