Pittsburg, April 9.-An investigation
of banking methods in Pittsburg is
likely to result Immediately from the
graft investigation. With six, banks

quiry, according to the plans of the
grand jury is to be turned to the gen.

tions.
This is the direct result of the meth
DDS OF high finance employed by the
bribe-taking councilmen, and the belief
Of the grand jury that some OF the
important bankers accused or involved
are shielding men still higher up.
The grand jury has found that Coun-
Gilman Morris E. Einstein. by juggling
with securities, got $4,000 bribe
where he had expected one of half that
size.

According to this disclosure, William
Brand, president OF the Common Coun-
ell demanded $4,000 from Einstein for
supporting the move to make the work

pany city depository. Einstein did
not have the cash at haid. and Brand
demanded strong guarantee before
giving his aid. Enstein then secured
block OF stock. giving it to Brand as
assurance that the $4,000 would be
forthcoming later. In the end, by
clever manouvering, Einstein got so.

Drischeii In the Dark.
Marshal Dan Drischell of Cam
bridge City stated last evening that
the authorities were absolutely in the
dark in respect to the matter. Occa-
sionally ray of light appears which
shines brightly for moment. only to
flicker and die out when the clue is
run down, and the discouraged off,
cials begin all over. again.
There is one thing. however. prac-
tically all of the officials seems to
concur in. It is believed that the
tramp who called at the county poor
farm on the afternoon of the murder
dripping wet. and applied for food;
the man who was seen to jump the
fence by Mrs. Clevenger, south of
Milton: the man who was seen in q
field by a member of Bvckskin Ben's

bird loose: the tramp who SO fright
ened Mrs. Mary Funk at Hagerstown
yesterday morning, and who made the
request of several residents of that
place that he be given copies OF the
last two issues Of the Richmond news
papers, is one and the same person.
The descriptions are identical and 1t
is on this clue that the authorities are
exerting their every effort
A Lost Opportunity.
1t Is believed by many that had

on, however, alleged that he was not
furnished with description of the
supposed murderer until after the
man had made his escape. He de.
clares that the only word he had re
ceived from the Cambridge City an-
thorities was telegram on the day OF
the murder notifying him to be on
the lookout for a negro wearing gum
coat. Inasmuch as the man who
frightened Mrs. Funk was not ne.
gro and did not wear a gum coat,
Dixon states that at that time he at
tached no importance to the mans
apprehension. He declares that he
chased the tramp across the railroad
but that just as he (Dix0n) was about
to cross the tracks a passenger train
pulled in at the depot and impeded
further progress by blocking his path
BY the time he had gone around the
train, he states the man whom he wa<
after had disappeared

danger which every Christian man

New Association Forming Will Seek
Representation in City Depart

Alderman in Eighteenth Ward.
Colony Has Grown From Eight Men
Nineteen Years Ago To Prosperous
Community of Nearly 1000 People.

Leaders in Detroit's big Hungarian
colony are projecting a big associa'
ton. the object OF which Will be TO
give the Hungarians voice IN city
affairs, gain representation in the diff
ferent city departments, aud make a
power To be reckoned with. out of the
now scattered population, numbering
close 10 5000.
A meeting Of some of the leading
spirits in the colony will be held this
week. In Joseph Prokopp's grocery,
No 6lS South-st., and plans OF organ
ization win be perfected It is ex-
garian population will be enrolled In
the association, which will be indie
pendent as To politics, working only
for the betterment OF the Hungarians
themselves.
The story of the Hungarian influx
reads like romance. Nineteen years
ago, eight Hungarians, employed in
the Michigen-ave. plant of the Michi'
gan Malleable Iron works, represented
the Hungarian population. These
eight brought their cOuntrymen here
from the old country, from Toledo,
cleveland, Lorraine, and other nearby
cities, and there was a steady growth
OF the Hungarian colony.
Delray, with its big industrial
plants springing up dozen years ago
was the mecca for the Huns. They
ARRIVED in droves The Hungarians
say that they made the Eighteenth
ward. For the most part they are a
frugal people. who come here with
the intention OF staying and becoming
citizens. Nearly all take out their
citizenship papers as soon as possible.
Most OF them own their own homes,
or are buying them on small pay
ments. Some have amassed wealth,
while here, and these are always
ready and willing to help the new
comers, and the less fortunate or their
countrymen.
The recent panic drove hundreds
. back to the old country but when
work was resumed. full blast, in the
down-river plants. these returned, and
brought others with them.
During all Of these years. while the
colony has grown TO nearly 5000
souls. the Hungarians have had little
10 say in the affairs OF the city. Now,
they hope to accomplish great things
by banding together. Among their
.hopes is that a Hungarian may be
seated In the common council. as the
Representative OF the Eighteenth
ward. which the Huns feel that they,
themselves, created.
