ANNUAL SALE, TEN EaILLI0a BOXES

Washington, Jan. 20.-The trial of
August w. Machen and the others in
dicted with him for conspiracy to de-
fraud the government is proceeding
rapidly. The government put in evil
dence number of documents having
direct bearing on the dealings of the
Croft brothers with Machen's division
in the postoffice department, and bank
officials gave testimony concerning
the deposits OF the Groffs and tbs
checks drawn against these deposits
The fact was brought out by two wit
nesses representing firms which man
ufactured the Croft fastener that the
price to the Groffs of the complete
fastener was 25 cents, with a rebate
of cents en- each fastener, condition
ed on prompt settlement Of bills. The
price at which the fasteners were fur
nished to the government at first was
fixed at $3.50 each, but later it was
reduced to $1.25 each.
A furry was created during one
stage of the proceedings when Attor-
ney Kum1er, representing the Lorenzs.
complained to the court that Post
Office Inspector Walter S. Mayer had
been talking to witnesses before they
came on the stand. Mayer denied the
charge When, subsequently, the mat
ter cropped out again and Attorney
Kumler said he had positive evidence
that Mayer had committed the offense,
Justice Pritchard rebuked the inspec-
tor and warned him against its repetl-
ton District Attorney Beach demand
ed an affidavit to prove the assertion,
which Mr.. Kumler said he would fur
nish later in the day, but the matter
apparently was allowed to drop, as the
affidavit was not presented.

agent, M. Plancon, however, empha-
sizes the impossibility of Russia's
evacuation of Manchuria- He says:
Orders were given some months ago
to evacuate New Chwang and Man
churia provided the Chinese would
agree to simple terms, but owing to
the intrigues of the Japanese minister
with the Wal WI Pu (Chinese foreign
board), these orders we're counter
manded"
NJ. Plancon declared that the action
of the United States in making COM
mercial treaty with China without
Russia's consent under the existing
circumstances, was unfriendly and un-
diplomatic. Russia, he said, would
not open or allow cOnsuls at Mukden
and Antung under the present regime.
If Japan wanted Korea, Russia. M.
Plancon said, would not interfere, pro-
vided other powers allowed it, and he
added:
Russia did not ask Japan's consent
to occupy Manchuria, neither was it
necessary for Japan to seek Russia's
permission to establish a protectorate
in Korea"
M. P1ancon concluded by saying that
the United States and other nations
were more interested in the situation
than was Russia. The action of the
United States government has appar-
emily quite upset Viceroy Alexieff's
calculations.

Cuban Congress Did Not
Know When to Adjourn
Its Sessions.
PALMA TOOK A HAND
The President Exerted His Constitu-
tionaI Prerogative and Adj
iourned the Bodies.
No Objection Was Mad in Either
House to This Manner of SoIv-
ing the Problem.

Havana, Jan. 20.-President Palma
ordered congress to adjourn yesterday
afternoon and the session came to an
end soon after the receipt of the or
der. The presidential message said
briefly that as the houses had not ar
rived at an agreement as to the date
of closing the session, he directed an
adjournment under the authority of
the constitution. No objection was
made in either house to this manner
e4f closing thu session. No other i'm
portant measures are pending and the
members for the most part are glad
to get their freedom and to be able
to take part in the election campaign.
Prior to adjournment the house
passed the senate bill providing for
the payment of interest on the revolu-
tionary bonds and declaring the inten-
ton Of paying the principal. The con-
ference committee has been unable to
agree on the bill for the purchase of
the national theater; many represent
atfves doubt the wisdom of the gov
ernments purchasing private property
for sentime ntal reasons. There was
bill, and in any event the attendance
was insufficienm to pass this bill over
the presidential veto. Unless a spe-
cial session of congress is called there
will be no other session until next
April, when the newly elected repre-
sentdtives who comprise half the mem
bership of the house, will take their
seats.

Oliver, 10 years old, charges with hav-

home and applied red hot iron to his
feet to force him to divulge the hid

of the robbers, it is alleged, beat the
boy over the head with a lead pipe.
The burglars secured nothing of any
great value.

POLITICAL GOSSIP
Some OF the Things Being Discussed
by State Politicians.

INDIANAPOLIS. Jen. 2O.-Adam Beck
of Hunt.agtGa. 1o~mer member of the
Republican site COR mittee in the
Eleventh district, who was defeated
by Elan Neal in a memorable fight, is
to be cared for. Chairman Goodrich
has decided to appoint him as MEM
Der of the executive committee of the
state committee. Beck was popular
in his district, but lost because Major
Steele, who backed Neal, had a larger
following. His appointment as mem
Der of the executive committee will
give general satisfaction. Warren
Bigler of Wabash and Sidney Can't
well of Hartford City are members of
the executive committee, and, like
Beck, they are Eleventh district men.
So it is very probable that the appoint
ment OF Beck will mean the retire
ment of either BIgler or Cantwell, as
it is not very likely that Chairman
Goodrich will give three of five APP
pointments on the executive commit
tee to one congressional district.
