MAY FORFEIT THEIR CHARTERS.

Boom Companies Will BE Called tn A.
count for Refusing to Pay License.
MADISON, Wis, Aug. 9.-Gov. Peck
has formally requested the attorney
general to bring action against those
boom companies which have failed to
pay their license fees as provided bv
chapter 422, of the laws Of 1891, which
was amended at the 1893 session of the
legislature. The law requires the pay
ment of license fee of per cent on
the gross earnings of the boom COM
panies. All such corporations in
the state protested against the payment
of the license but with the ception of
two, one at Wausau and the other at
Rhinelander, the money was paid into
the state treasury because the law pro-
vides that if it be not paid the charters
OF the non-paying corporations shall be
forfeited and they did not want to risk
the result Of test of the matter in
the courts. The Wausau and
Rhinelander companies, however, are
determined to have the law adjudicated
in the courts, holding that the statute is
unconstitutional as interfering with nav
igation, these corporations claiming that
cation, upon which the state has no
right to levy an impost. In the amend
ment to the law adopted by the legisla-
ture of 1891 it was provided that if the
corporation paid taxes to the
local municipal government in
which it's property is situated it
should be liable to the state for
only the difference between the amount
paid to such municipality as taxes and
the per cent. license fee. The actions
against the defaulting companies will be
brought in the circuit court for Dane
County and that tribunal will be asked
charters. The cases will be brought to
trial at the September term of the court.

CHICAGO LUMBER FAILURE.
The A. R. Beck Company Goes Down Owing
Half a Million,

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 1.-THE A. r.
Beck Lumber Company, with yards and
Offices in South Chicago, assigned in the
county court this morning to the Equita
bic Trust Company. The assets are
placed at SOL 600 and liabilities at
S2oD,UC0. The company was incorpo-
rated about eight years ago with a
capitalization Of S250,00O. a. r. Beck
is president of the corporation, John
McLarcn yice-president and w. $. Nc
Laren secretary. The company's yards
are located on the bank of Calumet
River in South Chicago and are among
the largest in Chicago. Attorneys for
the assignee stated that the failure was
attributable to the inability of the COM
pany to dispose Of a large amount
Of lumber awaiting shipment in
points in Wisconsin. This lumber has
been sawed and the company has given
notes to pay for it. Being unable to
sell the stock for cash, claims and de-
mands in the nature of notes and ac-
counts could not be paid and an assign
ment was therefore made necessary.
Attorney Green said if this lumber can
be removed and sold for it's full value
The estate will pay LOG cents on the dol
lar and have several thousand dollars in
assets remaining. A schedule Of the
assets makes the following showing:
Real estate, SSl 800: lumber in yard,
$40 900; lumber in Wisconsin, 1929 800;
stock in Roscand Manufacturing Com
Dany, 5000 cash on hand, 5000; fix
lures, $1,000; bills receivable, $4,000;
open accounts Sl10,000; total. $62l 200.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
Light Demand for Currency at New York
TODAY.

New YORK, Aug. IA. = AS was ex-
pected the demand for currency was
very light here to-day, although it is
known that several large pay
rolls had to be prepared for. No
premium was offered for gold to arrive.
Maturing loans in the city, it is said, are,
and have been, as a rule, renewed,
and at the old rate about s per
cent. 1t was reported that sew
eral cities, Providence and st. Paul
being specially mentioned had adopted
the rule of stamping all checks on New
York, Payable through the clearing
house." Bankers said these cities were
not by any means singular in the mat
ter; that on the contrary the prac-
tice has become SO general through
tons if any would be worth knowing.
Large checks for cotton are now coming
in and were stamped as requested by
the local banks. The steamship Yucca
tan, which arrived from Havana, had
$Ss0,000 Spanish gold The steamship

inquiry for bills by gold importers.

MADISON, Wis, Aug. 10.-The acct

this state under the plan known
as the Lloyds must either pay a
license or discontinue business, so
saws the attorney general. Some

grounds that because they were
not incorporated they did not
come within the restrictions OF

sioner Root, in case the Lloyds assocla-
tions refuse to pay their license, will i'm
