Government TO Start
Another Machen Trial
District Attorney Expects to Take Up Indict-
ment Charging Conspiracy in Connec-
ton With Carriers SatCheIs.

August W. Machen, now serving q
two years sentence IN the MoundsvilIe
penitentiary, will probably be called on
by the Government before long to an
swer another charge of conspiracy to
defraa1s Ger which he stands indicted
District Attorney Beach said today he
will In the near future have set for trial
the case Of Machen. William G. Craw-
ford. George e. Lorenz and his wife
Martha ]. Lorenz, who are indicted
Jointly for conspiracy to defraud the
Government
For the purpose Of this trial Mr.. Beach
said he will have Machen brought to
Washington from the penitentiary
It is understood Crawford will be rep
resented by former Secretary Of the
Treasury John G.. Carlisle and A. S
Worthington. and the other defendants
by the counsel which represented them
at the last trial.

COMMISSIONERS EXTEND
RAILROAD CHARTER TINE
Washington and Gettysburg Company
Gets Still Another Legal
Lease Of Life.

The District Commissioners todav ap-
proved the bill extending the time of the
washington and Gettysburg Railway
Company, which was granted it's char
ter on March g. 1898
The line was to extend its tracks into
the District at the point where Four
highway plan, intersected the district
boundary lire. The road was to be
completed, and cars running within two
years.
Time has been twice extended but
again expires on March /. The pending
bIH proposes to extend its time to Feb
ruary /, 1907 No track has been laid
within the District. but as the president
Of The company has assured the Com
EnisSioners that IL is the intention to

partment with satchels for the use of
letter carriers
Mr.. Beach, in discussing the probable
early trial of this case, said he proba-
bly, viii not insist upon Lorenz being
sent to she penittentiary to serve the
sentence which now hangs over him
until after the hearing, which may be
within the next month.
It is probable that Machen and the
Groffs, a I the expiration of their two
years sentences which they are now
serving AZ Moundsyillc. Will plead the
poor convict act of 1872. If allowed 10
do so, Machen will receive a greater
benefit than his co-conspira tors.
He, after serving an extra thirty
days, viii be rid OF the $i0,0U0 fine wnicn
hangs over him.
In Case of Grofs.
In the case Of the Groffs, however,
they cannot plead the poor convict act
for the full benefit of the fines because
the Government now has in hand part
Of the money due on contracts for letter
box fasteners, over $1,000
Besides the Indictment upon which
Aachen was convicted there are thirteen
others standing against him. All OF
these charge conspiracy to defraud the
government except three. which charge
him with accepting bFibes.

SHAFFER BIDDING
A LAST FAREWELL
TO HIS FAMILY
Warden Harris Says That He Never Knew q
Man Who Was More Composed Upon
the Eve of His Execution.

Augustus L. Shaffer, who will be exc
cuted tomorrow for the murder Of his
wife, Katherine Ivey Shaffer, on Au-
gust 22 1868. is bidding a last farewell
to the members of his family this after
noon. His mother. sister, and brother
are with him at the District jail. After
their departure he will be alone with his
confessor and the death watch.
Dr.. William E. Shaffer, brother of the
condemned man. spent the morning in
cell No. 2 arranging the details Of the
few remaining worldly matters that re-
quire the prisoners attention. He left
the jail about 10 o'clock, saying that he
would return with the other members
of the family this afternoon.
..Shaffer Is perfectly quiet said War
den Harris to reporter for The Times.
Il never knew a man to be more com
posed on the eve Of his execution. He
has accepted the refusal of the Presl-
dent TO extend executive clemency with
the utmost conposure. He is entirely
occupied IN the performance of his fe-
ligious duties, and apparently faces
death with the thought of the hereafter
uppernost in his mind and to the exclu-
sion of the manner of his dying
Thanked Prison Authorities.
In the name or the unfortunate man

ed the prison authorities for the many
courtesies and attentions extended to
his brother.
The meals served to him have been
prepared with the greatest care fro-~.
the deiicacies available for the jail sick
list. Fruit and specially cooked dishes
have been added to the customary mo4.a
The prisoner has been repeatedly urged
to suggest any dish or extra that his
fancy might dictate.
He accepts whatever is served with nc
other comment than his thanks for the
kind thought Of his guards and says

Representative Burton Of Ohio viii
make a vigorous fight on the naval
appropriation bill, and especially on
that feature of 1t authorizing the expen-
diture OF 900 for the construction
of two battieships.
Il have not yet decided whether I will
night the bill or not said Mr. Burton
today, but everybody knows that he
will. His manner indicated that his po-
slti0n on the subject had not changed.
Mr. Burton contends that the life of a
ba ttleship, so far as its effectiveness is
concerned, is not more than ten years,
and that 10 construct them. at the enor-
nous expense involved, is a clear waste
OF the peoples money.
Mr.. Burton is opposed to enormous
expenditures for the inCrefze Of the
navy. He thinks this money could be
expended to more advantage in the i'm
provenlent of the rivers and harbors Of
the country.

BILL NOT AS WANTED

IF 1t had not been for the Presi-
dent there would have been no such
legislation TO be enacted by this House.
1T is the power Of the President
the influence of the President-his
firmness and his coura age-that have

of favorable action by the Republican
Majority
Representative De Almond OF Mis-
souri, made this statement in the course
of a speech on the railroad bin, be-
fore the House of Representative this
morning.
In the Right Direction.
Mr.. De Armond said he did not fa-
vor the amended Townsend bill
in all particulars, but would approve
it as an Improvement upon existing
law. and a movement along right lines.
Mr. De Armond paid tribute to the
patriotism and devotion to public duty
of President Roosevelt, but said the
Presidents highest purpose would not
be accomplished until further Iegisla-

He said the Townsend bill did not
meet the requirements of the recon-
mendations Of the President in his mes

Woman Killed Fisher,
Says Verdict of Jury
q = tender After He Threatened to Leave Her.
She Then Committed Suicide

Seven minutes was all the time neces-
sary for the members of a Coroner's
jury 70 determine that Theodore Fisher
was murdered by Mrs. Stella Yates. on
last Friday night in her home 10lS
Twelfth street southeast, after d quarrel
and his threat to leave her.
It was the consensus of opinion that
Mrs Yates killed herself after murder
ing Fisher.
Maggie Prue, negress. and James
F'iigate, a bartender, proved the star
witnesses.
DR.. Carr on Stand.
DR. W. P Carr was the first witress
called by Cononer Nevitt. He said Fish
er had a wound in the left eye, which
was open at the time the bullet struck
him, as a part of the pupil was destroy
ed. The wound looked as though the
weapon had been held not less than
fifteen or eighteen inches from the man 5
head. The physician illustrated with
the pistol how impossible it would have
been for Fisher TO shoot himself The
doctor was OF the opinion that Fisher
would have been compelled to hold his
hand as far out as he could reach and
then bend his wrist toward himself IN
order to inf1ict the wound. He said 1t
would have been next to impossible for
the man 10 have inflicted the injury
Some Practice Shots.
At this iuncture Coroner hewitt ex-
hibited to the jury three pieces of paper
which had been fired at by the pistol
with which the shooting was done. The
paper which was punctured bv the bail
when the revolver was held foot and
q half away looked like the face of the
dead man. The piece which was shot
at when the weapon was held less than
an inch away bore resemblance to the
front of Mrs. Yates white waist which
she wore at the time of the shooting.
Deputy Coroner Glazeorook 1oia OF
performing an autopsy On the body Of
Fisher. FIe said he found a shattered
22-caltber bullet In Fishers brain.
Wound of the Woman.
The wound on the woman's breast
Indicated that the weapon was not helc
more than two inches from her.
ut seems almost impossible for me
to believe that the man could have
shot himself" said DR.. GlazbrOk, and
II Is very unreasonable TO believe that
a man would have shot himself in the
eye as the optic would have closed in
voluntary [ ara convinced that Fisher
was shot He could not have moved
an inch or ga5ped more than once or
twice after receiving this mortal
wound. -
One of the jurors asked in what po-
sition the bodies were found ana DE
Ney3tt said, the man lay on his back
with his right arm extended and his
left hand to his head. The woman was
found lying on his right arm. Her
right arm was on Fishers shoulder. as
left limb was thrown over his two low
er limbs They were facing one an
other. and her left cheek almost touch
