LELAND AND MULVANE.
Story From Chicago Concerning Their
Influence With Mark Hanna

Influence With Mark Hanna
The following dispatch under Chi
cago date appeared in a Kansas City
paper:
Senator Baker, Cyrus Leland, Jr.,
and all the influence which they can
swing have been used against David
Afulvane at the national Republican
headquarters Letters by the hundreds
poured in from all parts of Kansas last
week, charging that Mulvane was using
his position as national committeeman
from Kansas to help Burton in his race
for the United States senatorship to the
detriment of both the national and stale
tickets. All the federal Of1cehOlders Of
influence have Joined in the protest. Null
.vane has been acquainted with what
was going on and his friends have come
to his assistance.
1.-THE attack on Mulvane reached its
climax last week when Cyrus Leland
came to Chicago and had a long per-
sonal conference with Hanna. When
asked at that time by a correspondent
for the Star whether his visit had any
significance Leland said that it was
merely q call to pay his respects and
that he had come to Chicago to buy
goods for his two stores Upon his re-
turn to Kansas Leland gave out the in
teryieW denouncinG Burton. Leland and
Hanna have been close friends, but Null
vane has impressed Hanna and the 9TH
CT members OF the committee WITH MS
capacity since his connection with his
national committee. If Kansas is lost To
the Republicans the Baker faction will
place the responsibility for defeat on
Mulvane. The recent Leland interview
as it now appears was given out at this
time in order to make a case against
Mulvane."
when asked about the above Cyrus
Leland said, II know nothing about it,"
Mr. Mulvane has not been at the state
Republican headquarters today.

PLAN FOR INLAND HARBoR'


CHICAGO, Nov. 5.--Trustees of the SAN
itqSy district have taken preliminary steps
toward setting on foot the stupendous
scheme for a giant harbor at Chicago and
Calumet rivers with a navigable channel.
They repudiated the contract with the
state canal commission to maintain navi-
cation In the old Illinois and Michigan
channel, and notice will be served upon
the commissioners that the Bridgeport
venbcr is. The action was taken at a
meeting OF the engineering COMMITTEES and
becomes a recommendation to be heard
which that body will formally approve
tomorrow
The reputation of the Bridgeport con-
tract came UP on an opinion from the
general counsel and attorneys of the
board. who held the pact to be illegal.
The trustees agreed to this and the only
division OF sentiment was on the time OF
reputation. The fight will be forced by
the canal commission by an appeal to the
courts. The legal status of the contract
will be tested by injunction proceedings to
restrain the board from enforcing its no.
tice.
II the contention OF the trustees OF the
district Ia sustained by the courts the
state canal will be left with a stream too
shallow to support a rowboat and the
commissioners without any means to
maintain the pumping works at Bridge
port. The canal will be at the mercy OF
the drainage board for its supply Of water
for Its Chicago connection.
Dor Of Chicago Will be assured The canal
will not have an independent entrance to
the lake. 1t will lock into the drainage
channel at the bonneville site suggested
BY the trustees a year ago. but the ex-
pense for the lockage will have to be met
by the state. The drainage board will
have no authority to do the work unless
for adequate compensation.
