DEADLOCK PREDICTED
SoIons Not Likely to Soon Agree
on the Details of Taxa
ton Legislation.
SENATE AND HOUSE ARE AT ISSUE

Over Important Matters of Detail Big
Repeal the Law-New Testimony i'm the
Military Board Case Copper Range
Railway Complet sd--Killed by jump
ing or Train Near Home.
Lansing, Mich, Dec. 27.-The indi-
cations are that when the Legislature
reconvenes today the two houses will
get into a deadlock over the proposed
amendments to the taxation provisions
Of the constitution to be submitted to
the people next fall. The house has
passed the governors proposition with
out word Of debate or a moments
consideration. The special senate COM
mittee has completed the preparation
of substitute which makes radical
changes in the resolution passed by the
house.
Features of the House Measure.
The house bill proposes amendments
which put 1t in the power OF the legis-
lature to tax corporate property at any
rate it sees fit, regardless of the rate
paid by other classes Of property. 1t
also provides for no equalization Of the
valuation of corporate property. The
senate substitute is designed to correct
both of these alleged defects. Six of
the nine votes needed In the senate
to defeat the house resolution are
pledged. while there are five doubtful
votes to work on. Unless the house
yields there is small hope that any
amendment will be submitted.
Beet Sugar Law Is Costly.
1t is stated that Governor Pingree
will ask the legislature to enact a law
ut the special session repeating the
beet sugar bounty law OF 1897, which
promised bounty of one cent per
pound for seven years. The manu-
facturers are fling their claims, and
ut the close Of the campaign propose
To sue for the aggregate amount
claimed aud thus test the validity OF
the law. 1t is estimated that the total
bounty claimed this year will not be
less than 100000. While the repeal
of the 1897 law now would not stop
the bounty for the factories erected
previous to repeal should the law prove
to be valid, it would absolve the state
from any obligation to pay bounty to
any companies erecting factories here
after. ,.A
important Grand Jury Find.
The grand jury reconvened yester-
day afternoon. Since adjournment the
officers have made what is claimed to
he an important find iTconnection with
the alleged fraudulent military deal by
locating the four women who trans
ferred the tags upon the goods which
were sold by the state and replaced
them with Henderson-Ames company's
marks. They all swear that they were
hired by Bickerstaff. of the Henderson,
Ames company, to do the work. and all
reside at Kalamazoo. The women as
sert that they removed the buttons
from the soldier clothes and the Innings
from the caps and replaced them with
others.
