tions Are Violating Law.
Announcement is made from Harris
burg that the attorney general Is going
TO probe the business Of foreign build
ing and loan associations operating in
this state with view to ascertaining
whether they are within the law. 1t is
suspected at the attorney generals de-
partment from the information already
secured that these associations are
doing strictly banking business and
are not conducting affairs on. the line
of a building association proper.
This decision is doubtless based on a
petition recently presented to the at
torney general by w. o. Laughna. of
Harrisburg, asking that the depart
ment investigate the financial stand

AUTUMNAL DREAMS.

When the maple turns to crimson
And the sassafras to gold;
When the gentlan's In the meadow
And the asters on the wold;
When the moon is Tapped in vapor,
And the night is frosty cold;
When the chestnut burs are opened
And the acorns drop like hail,
And the drowsy air is startled
With the humping of the fail
With the drumming Of the partridge
And the whistle of the quail
Through the rustling woods I wander,
Through the Jewels of the year,
From the yellow uplands calling,
Seeking her that still Is dear;
She Is near me In the autumn,
She, the beautiful, is near.

COUNSEL FOR FRANK Beck
Court Asked to Assign Someone to
Defend the Murderer.
WILL BE CONSIDERED FRIDAY
What Beck Has to Say About the Muir.
der-He Loved Girl Who Was
Below Ills Station in Life and
She Duped Him.

Franz, Beck, the young Slav who
murdered his sweetheart at Mayfield
several months ago, was. taken before
the court yesterday afternoon to have
counsel assigned to defend him. His
trial is set down for next Monday, and
as District Attorney Kelly had informa-
tion that Beck had no counsel he asked
the court to assign some one to defend
him that the case might not have to be
continued Monday because of no time
to prepare defense,
Beck, when questioned through an
interpreter by the court, said his uncle
at Mayfield had money to pay his at
torney fees and that he wanted to con-
suit with Martin Woyshner and would
employ an attorney on Sunday
The answers received through the in
terpreter were unsatisfactory, and it
was decided to have the accused
brought into court again Friday morn
ing, when Martin Woyshner who seems
to be his confidential adviser, will also
be present. The question of counsel
will then be taken up again.
What Beck Says.
Beck is very bright and intelligent
young man and is in his twenty-seventh
year. He apparently does not realize
now how close he stands to the shadow
of the gallows
He talks little English, but finds it
difficult to make himself understood
in that tongue. In conversation with a
Tribune reporter yesterday he told the
history of the events that led him to
XIII his sweetheart. His father is a
big farmer in Slavonia, and when a
youth Franz enlisted in the Austrian
army. He returned to visit his father
at intervals, and during one of these
furloughs fell in love with the daughter
of a neighbor, who was not so well-to-
| do as Farmer Beck.
The latter was proud of his position
and forbade his son to marry the
daughter of his poor neighbor. But
Franz loved truly and when the girl
suggested that they should come to
this country to her relatives he gladly
consented and paid her passage. Three
days after arriving here he found that
he had been duped and that the girl
whose passage he had paid to this coun-
try was about to become the wife of an
| other

the financial standing of the company
is not what 1t is represented to be, and
the commonwealth is asked to interfere
in order that the citizens of Pennsylva-
MIA may be protected.

Filled with Jealous Rage.

Beck is of quick and impulsive
nature, and when he learned the per-
hdy of the woman he loved he sought
her out and took her life and then at
tempted to kill himself.
He says that his only regret is that
he was not as successful in his own case
as in that of his sweetheart. Since his
arrest he has written to his father. but
the latter does not seem very kindly dis
posed toward him.

THEY FILE A PROTEST.


Chicago, August 1.-THE Pullman
strikers have filed petition in the
Chicago courts protesting against the
eviction proceedings begun against
them yesterday.
The petition proceeds to set out
in detail the character and value of
the company's property, including the
office building in Chicago worth two
millions, three-fourths of which 1t has
no use for as a corporation, and rents
to other persons without right or au-
thority of law; that 1t owns at Pull
man so acres of land covered with
buildings and apartment houses, which
it rents without authority Of law, and
receives a large sum therefor as dwell
lings for 1900 people; that 1t the town
Of Pullman it owns streets and alleys
and ornamental grounds, fifty acres in
extent, also without warrant of law,
together with fifteen acres on which
stand the Arcade building, Hotel Flor
ence, two churches and several school,
houses, none of which are necessary
for the conduct of its business. and are
therefore Illegally held. Various tracts
Of land are cited as unwaTantably
held, not being needed for transaction
of the company's business. All this is
in addition to IL. acres Of railroad at
Pullman, which the company uses for
shops, yards, etc.

ALL IN A MUDDLE.
The Tariff Bill Is as far from Decis.
ion as Ever

Washington, August 1.-THE tariff
bill is in a cloud tonight, and there are
as many opinions as to its present
status an1 as to its future as there are
political groups. The surface Demo,
Gratis today showed the Democrats OF
the senate were willing to pull to-
gether again for the time In order to
see II the caucus of the house Demo,
Gratis would offer any solution of the
house, approved by the speaker and re-
quested by the house conferrees shows
that the leaders Of that body have
become greatly concerned over the fate
of the bill, in the acknowledgment that
it is in critical state. But neither the
action of the senate in delaying the Hill
resolution nor the call of the caucus
by the house Democrats insures the
does it certainly mean the senate bill
or nothing. There are many who be-
lieve the Democratic caucus Monday
will result in the final success Of the
senate bill, and that this action will be
taken because the Democrats Of the
house. or a majority of them, will not
want to risk any vote whatever in the
senate for fear of killing all tariff leg
islation. This feeling, however. was
stronger at O'Clock than at 6 today.
1t is quite probable the time which has
been granted will be devoted to recon-
Cling differences, making compromise
bill hurriedly. and with the least pos.
slble friction, and passing 1t as quickly
as possible providing such action will
be acceptable to the house caucus. The
parliamentary tangle in which the bill
is now passed, If no report is made by
the senate conferrees has caused con-
siderable discussion and the opinion
Is divided as to the course opened TO
the house. As those tangles. however,
would all unravel at once IL the wings
Of the Democratic party again Tapped
in harmony. and the agreement on a
report were reached by the conferrees
present. the questions remaining un-
answered are: Will the house caucus
decide to take the senate bill, or win
the decision be reached to make one
more effort to agree on compromise
bill. 1t is conceded by almost all par
ties now that fewer concessions are to
be expected from the senate than could
have been obtained week ago; that
the outlook now is between no bill. the
senate bill. and the senate bill modified,
but not to a great degree.
