Eloquent Deliverance of the Former President of the
United States—Asks That Indubitable Proof Be

But Denounces Any System That Withholds From
Any Human Being the Right to Live in Safety

NEW YORK. May 27.—There was a
great gathering at Carnegie hull tonight,
called to protest against the massacre
of Hebrews at Klahneff. The announce*
ment that Former PrwMnt Grover Cleve

to the gathering.
While Mayor Low was delivering the
opening address, expressive of the hope
that Russia would.give more liberty to
her Jew-Ill* subject*, Mr. Cleveland en
tered and was greeted with a tumult of
cheers.
William H. Baldwin, Jr., read the reso
lutions which were rec r. i with gro t
applause and adopted. They denounced

WASHINGTON, May 27.-By far the
most sensational development of the
postoffice investigation up to this tlmo
occurred today when August \V. Mach*
en, the general superintendent of tho
free delivery service, was arrested on
a warrant Issued upon* the information
of postoftlce Inspectors charging him
with having receive! ••rake-offs’* from
contracts made with the local firm of
Groff Pros, for a patent postal box
fastener. The warrant specifically
charges him with receiving 5lS.D81.7t
since August ft, 1900. It Is alleged, how
ever, at the fbpprtment that this
amount does not represent all that Mu-
chen obtained In connection with thrs^
contracts, It being charged that he hna
profited by them for aeverftl years pri
or td the date of the first contract men
tioned In the warrant. ,
Other arrests are to follow.
Immediately after Mr. Machen was
taken Into custody,' the postmaster
general issued an order removing him
from ,office. He had been practically
under suspension for a fortnight pend
ing the Investigation Into his bureau.
The discovery of Machen’l alleged In
terests In the contracts was made quite
accidentally by the inspectors some
three weeks ago and since then their ! the purchasi
energies had been directed toward | °*
mnklrig out a case. Last night after
the authorities had become convinced
that they were In possession of neces
sary evidence, Mr. Ma h*n was no’.lfled
to appoar at the department this morn
ing. He did so and was subjected to a
"awc-allng" process by the Inspectors
and Mr. Bristow f<<r th***.. hour*, but
no admissions that he hud profited by
the contract? could he secured from
him. He declined to answer ninny
questions on Urn ground that they re-
lated to hi* private hu«lne*-. hut In
flated to the end that he had not re
ceived a cent Improperly* Neverthe
less, he was arrested on the warrant
which had b»en prepared and taken
before a United stnt** commissioner,
where his attorney Immediately de
manded a full hearing.
Assistant District Attorney Taggart,
however, was not ready to proceed
with the case and the hearing was set
for June 5. Mr. Machei) gave n $2V
000 bond, furnished by a Philadelphia
bonding company for his uppeurance,
declining to accept tho proffer of
friends to go on his bond. After his re
lease he declined to make any state
inent beyond the slngl

Mr. Payne said that he had asked As
sistant Attorney-General Robb whether
the Ryan deelflon. which Mr. Christ-
lancy signed at the Instance of Miller,
was proper under the, law and under
the facts. Mr. ltohh si answer hat not
been received.
Mr. Payne was asked whether the de
partment was keeping in touch with
George W. Beavers, the former Super
intendent of the <11 vision of salaries and
allowances of the department, who
iddenly res gned some weeks ago. lie
plied affirmatively. "I have no
doubt.” he said, "that the department

Postmaster-Genera 1 Payne dismissed
Mr. Machen in Iho follosvlng order;

from the position of general superin
tendent of the free delivery service.
HIS removal Is mnde by reason of mnl-

The warrant for M uh n’s arrest was
drawn by Assistant rnlted States At

today by Walter S. Mayer, a postofllce

Subsequently Mr. Brlsto.w gave out
the follow ng statement:
"A. W. Muchcn, general superin

charged with receiving bribes amount
ing In nil to about 522,000 in connection
with n contract held by Groff Bros, of
"Washington, D. C., for a patent fast
ener on street letter-boxes, known as
tho Groff fastener. The postoffice de
partment In the past ten years has used
about 5140,000 worth of these fasteners,
and It Is shown by nmple evidence that,
for the past three years at least Mr.
Machen has been receiving 40 per cent,
of tho amounts paid to the Groffs. The
transaction of the business was (
ducted by Dlller B. Groff, who controls
the patent of his brother, Samuel A.,
a policeman."
Mr. Machen was taken by the dep
uty mnrshnl directly to the office of
U. S. Commissioner Taylor, where ar
rangements to give hall were mnde.
Mr. Machen communicated with his at
torneys, Douglnss & Douglass, and In
a. few minutes Charles A. Douglnss,
senior member of the firm, arrived at
the commissioner’s office and assumed
charge of the ensp. On behalf of his
client, ho demanded an Immediate hoar-
1p^.
Assistant District Attorney Hugh
Taggart, who Is conducting the cna*
for the government. Informed Commis
sioner'Taylor that he was not reaiy
to proceed and asked for n postpone
ment of the hearing for ten days.
To this request Commlss'oner Taylor
acceded ond fixed tho hearing for Fri
day, Jane- 5. After a brief discussion
of the bond, Commissioner Taylor an
nounced that-he would nsk hall In tho
sum of $20,000. This was satisfactory
to Mr. Mnchen, nnd hls attorneys and
the Union Surety and Gunrnnty Com
pany of Philadelphia gave the bond.
II newspaper men Mr. Mnchen
said that he had no extended statement
to make for publication. To n repre-
ntntlvo of the Associated Press he
said:
"This will come out all right. My
arrest Is merely a grand-stand pley."
Attorney Charles Douglass made this
statement:
"Several days ago my firm was re
tained by Mr. Mschen to look after hi*
Interests In connection with the Inves
tigation of affairs at the postofflce de
partment. I am, therefore, cognizant
of the situation In detail. I am confl-
dent that, at the proper time, we shall
be able to show, In the most conclusive
way, that not only has Mr. Mnchen
been guilty of no wrong-doing In con
nection with the department's transac
tion! with Groff Bros Gut that hls nd-
