, 5 \ Nome O OE AAA OE IE PO LLAIOEEEI PY m:° PEABODY IS NOW ON TOP. Republicans in Absolute Contro! of Colorado’s Legislature. Denver, Dec. 31.—By the action of the state canvassing board in ts suing certificates of election as sena tors to Casimers Darela and Heury B. Millard, the republicans have se- cured such absolute control of the geveral assembly that is now regard- ed in Democratic circles as highly probable that Governor James H. Peabody will be reseated. The Re- publicans plan, it is said, to accom- plish this by throwing out the vote of all Democratic wards of Denver: and counting the vote of the Rep lican wards. The senate now stande: Republican, 19; Democratic, 15; vacancy, 1. On joint ballot the legislature stands: Republican, 66, Democtatie, 33. This gives the Re publicans a two-thirds vote. By throwing out one Las Animas county precinct. the canvassing board conserted a minority of 124 {nto a mejority of 307 for Darela, and by eimilar action in Boulder county the reelection of Senator Ward. Democrat, was nullified and his eeat given to Millard. Although the members of the canvassing board refused to say how they stood upon the proposition to go bebind the returns it has been learned that one member, the state treasurer, Whitney Newton, was opposed to the action taken. Those who voted in favor of unseating the Democratic senators elect are: Gov. James H. Peabody; the secretary of state, James Cowie; Attorney General N. ©. Miller and Auditor J, A. Holm- berg. All the members of the board are Republicans. FOUR MEN DENY THAT THEY SIGNED THE PRESENTMENT. Consternation in Camp of Bish- op’s Prosecutors. New York, Dec 29.—Consternation filled the New York camp of the pros- ecutors of Bishop Talbot, when the news reached the city that five of the Huntington presents, whoee names were affixed to the charges, had repudiated their signatures. A conference was called and Doctor Irviné was called up over the long distance telephone. The conversa- tion which eneued {s sald to have been of a fervid nature. Herbert Noble, the principal coun- sellor for the presenters, who first opposed giving out the names, intl- mating that the publication might defeat the ends of justice. There has been talk of pressure be- ing brought upon the presenters, especially those who belong to the Pennsylvania Diocese under the di rection of Bishop Talbot. Mr. Noble had intended to go to Phila- delphia today, and he expects to leave for that elty early to-morrow morning. “I cannot understand,” he said, “what has prompted the action. I am certain thot the presenters knew what they were signing and that _ they attached their names willingly. 1 am surprised to hear that they now wish to recall their action. I doubt, however, if there will be any serious delay in consequence.” Will Not Cease Campaign. New York, Dec. 29.—Rumor mon- gers in Wall street and in financial circles in Boston had it to-day that Ridgeway & Thayer, publiehers of Everybody’s Magazine, had dispos- ed of their interest in the publication to Thomas W. Lawson, and that the latter, having compromised his dif- - ferences with the Amalgamated Cop- per crowd, was prepared to desist from his attacks, and to that end would take o trip to Europe with his family. Erman J, Ridgeway emphatically denied the story, in these words. from the publication of Everybody's at this time. We have started in campaign, and even if we were offer- ed @ price that might be coneldered tempting we could not accept. The present control of the magazine will continue to guide its policy. As to Mr. Lawson’s reported -- trip Europe, I cannot say as. I have not been informed of hisintentions. But whatever he may do will not inter- fere’ with his narration. Please ”. @tate that nochange whatever, vither at present or in the. near future, te contemplated.” “We could not honorably withdraw. Demands Repeal of Text Book Lav’. Columbia, Mo., Dec 31 —When the} General assembly converes in Jef feraon City next mouth it will be “SANTA FE AND C. F. & 1. ACCUSED OF CONSPIRACY. confronted with iuristent femands | Grave Charges Brought Against on the part of the school teachers of Missouri for better public sebool legi-lation The demands are in the form of resolutions dopted jist before ad- journment today and will be pre sented by three members of the Mis souri State Teachers’ A-sociation who, at the expense of the a-socia tion, will visit and work for the par sage of measures which they think would be beneficial to public echool intereste. The teachcra demand the repeal of the present_textbook laws, the establist: ment of a nonpartisan text book commission, and a clauee al lowing high schools of first and sec- ond grades privilege of selecting any text books deemed advisable by the local boards of education. Although the question had not been brought on the floor of the as- sociation the present text book laws have been the subject of discussion since the opening of the association and the teachers have almost un- animouely been opposed to them. A reavlution embodying the above demand was unanimously adopted. Another reform demande1 by the teachers is county supervision of schools, the county supervisor to receive a salary of not less than$700 and to be vested with powers en abling him to regulate and unify the courses of study, the require mente for graduation and other school matters which are now left to individual schools. This the resolutions declare to be the paramount issue in educational circles and the one thing most nec- essary for the advancement of educa- tion. The consolidation of rura! schools and the establishment of State and of one or more high echools in each county in the state, the adoptivn of agriculture in all cources of study, the creation of a State architect of public school buildings, the gradual raising of re quirements for teachers’ certificates, and a reasonable compulsory at tendance law were among the othe: reforms indorsed by the association. The Legiclative Committee, which has not yet been appointed, will en- deavor to secure legislation which will bring about these reforms. Tricks of the Japanese. Mudken.
