WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-In the tri-

brothers and DR.. and Mrs. George E.

fraud the government, the prosecution
introduced a number of witnesses to
prove the relations of Machen with the

James E. Bee!ll, superintendent of de
livery Of the Washington postoffice, tes-
tilted that the Croft fastener had been
adopted without any report on it hav-
ing been submitted by him, although
It would have been his duty to make
such report, as the fastener was tried
first in this city.
John f. Clark, letter carrier, de-
scribed the failure of the fastener to
work at test made in 1894 in this city,
at which Machen and Samuel A. Croft
were present, which he said, caused
Machen to remark to Croft at that time
that unless the fastener would work
without sticking he would not recon-
mend it's adoption.
During the day Justice Pritchard
showed a disposition in arguments on

centers in Macedonia show that there
are now 100000 persons who are home
less and without means of support for
the winter. OF this number between
$1,000 and $4,000 are in Monastir viii

fording some relief, and funds are
coming from America and England.
Nine relief centers have been opened
in the vilayet, but at the present time
the work is almost exclusively dealing

who are destitute. There is fear on
the part of those on the ground that
unless some decisive steps are taken
during the winter there will be an
