From the State Capital
Information and Gossip Furnished by Special
Correspondent at Lansing.

Lansing.-Several members of the
state senate are involved in a story
of attempted boodling which has. come
to the ears of Gov. Warner. and the
governor has gone to Chicago in guest
OF some documentary evidence. The
story hinges on the passage by the last
Legislature OF a bill establishing a
binder Irvine plant in the states prison
at Jackson. A certain senator, so the
story runs, took an agent for the In
ternational Harvester company 70 an
upper room in Lansing hotel and in
troduccd him TO another senator. The
last senator, it is said. told the agent
about the bill that hGa been intro
duced TO put a binder twine plant in
Jackson prison, and remarked that 1t
would in great measure curtail the
business and profit of the hayeter
combine in Michigan. He told the
agent that ii would be much cheaper
to have the bill killed, even if 1t TOOK
a considerable amount of money. The
agent allowed that all the senator said
was true, but didn't see his way clear
to make the deal. However, he was
enough interested to ask about how
much the senator thought it would
take to fix things, and was told, it is
said, that $4,000 was about the sum,
there being ten senators who would
have to be fixed" Four senators, 1t
is rumored, finally got in the deal
They became impatient about the mat
ter, not hearing from the harvester
company, and went so far as to wire
the company, not only once. but sew
eral times. The agent has exhibited
the carefully worded kilograms as evil
dence, but SO far has refused to let
them pass out of his possession. So
hungry did one of the senators get
before the end of the session, ii is
said, that he followed the agent to an
other town, more than once. and urged
him to put the deal through. But 1t
was not until after the company
wired: I'VE will not buy senators on
any terms" that the senators quit,
and the bill to establish the binder
twine plant became law.

Civil War Threatened.

Civil war has broken out in Persia
and Teheran is an armed camp, held
by two opposing forces. The reaction
aries have taken possession of and are
now holding the gun square and open
places in the vicinity of the palace
while the constitutionalists to the
number of about 10000, have erected
barricades extending for miles around
the parliament buildings.
The latter are acting solely on the
defense and in an orderly manner.

Of the reactionaries, mostly muleteers
and laborers who have come in from

tionaries, and several murders and
some lootings have occurred.

A New Canal Scheme.

Rep. K. L. Hamilton, of Michigan
has introduced a bill calling for a ship
channel between Lakes Michigan and
Superior. The canal will cost several
million dollars, and it is proposed to
start it before 1909 and finish it by
1913.
Those seeking the right of way are
partly Michigan and partly Illinois
people. They are George w. and Ed
ward Dolan, Jr., Edward and F. b.
Sprague, Lawrence f. O'Mera, John
II. Mauritius and Lincoln II. Titus.
The route planned is Whitefish riv.
er, Mud Lake, AuTrain lake and Au.
Train river. The plans must be ap.
proved by the secretary of war. The
bill carefully provides against tolls for
military and naval craft, against the
closing of navigation and against un.
fair tools or tolls on naturally navi-
gable waters.
