IX REPUBLICANS' PLACES Six in Ail May be Thrown Out of State Senate, PEABODY'S STRENGTH GROWS Candidate for House Speakership Ap proved by Governor Was Selected by Party Caucus Yesterday After a Struggle. DENVER, Jan. 2. The cause of Gov trnor Peabody made a 'distinct gain this afternoon when the Republican caucus f elected "WVH. Dickson, of this city, as speaker of the next House of the Colo rado Legislature. Although Mr. Dick son has been a resident of this state for three years, he has not been active In the Interests of any Republican faction, but his candidacy was supported by the seconds of Governor Peabody and agree ment upon by the caucus Is regarded with much complacency by the Peabody peo ple. Frank Y. Frewen. of Teller County, was the candidiatc of the Wolcott fac tion, and he made a strong fight for sev eral hours. Matters were finally adjusted harmoniously, however, and everybody In the caucus joined In naming Dickson for speaker and he was nominated by accla mation. Tho Republican leaders have not yet determined positively upon their line of action after the Legislature Is opened. It is possible that Harry C. Riddle, one of the three members of the city election commission, may present a report to the Legislature declaring that there was much fraud perpetrated In Denver, against the candidacy of Governor Peabody, while his two fellow commissioners simply ccp tlfy to the election returns less these dis tricts thrown out by the Supreme Court. Plan Approved by Peabody. The Legislature would then have for Its consideration practically a majority and minority report on the result of the election in the city of Denver. Some of the leading Republican politicians say that this will not be done, but the -attorneys who are handling the case for Gov ernor Peabody..say that It may be done. Another plan that Is meeting with favor among many members of the Legls lature is to follow the action of the Su preme Court in reviewing the ballots In this city. As soon as the Supreme Court has finished with a certain number of precincts, the Legislature Is to take them up and conduct its own examination along lines similar to those employed by the Supreme Court. It would be months before the Executive Committee having -this recount in charge would" be prepared to report. The Republican leaders have no hesi tancy in declaring that the first thing they will do is to unseat the Democratic Senators, Born aqd Healy, who two years go. were given the seats of the Repub licans, Dick and McDonald. Other Seats in Danger. There arc four other Democratic Sen ators who may share the fate of Born and Heals, although It has nt yet been definitely decided that they will be un seated. Tbe Republicans base possible nctloh In these four cases on public state ments of Ex-Congressman Shafroth. who announced that 7000 fraudulent votes had beon cast tor him at his election. Four Democratic Senators were elected at the same time by pluralities approximating MOO. The Republican leaders reason that if there were 7000 fraudulent votes cast the four men who had pluralities of W00 could not have been elected. Chairman D. B. Fairley. of the Rcpub Ican SkUe Central Committee, declared this afternoon that It was an error for anybody to say that the state constitu tion required the Inauguration of a new Sovernor on -the. first Tuesday after the 5rst "Wednesday of the Legislative ses sion. "The state constitution expressly pro vides, said Chairman Fairley. "that the 3ovcrnor shalL hold over until his suc--ess-or has duly qualified. There is no setting arpund that, and Governor Pea-- ody will hold his seat until his successor aas qualified' properly." IHMENSITY OF NEW YORK. Showing Made in' Annual Message of Mayor McClellan. NEW "l'ORK. Jan. 2. A gross funded' Indebtedness -almost half as great as tht total National debt and a yearly average- growth and expansion so im mense tmtt-overy effort to keep abreast, of it in .-necessary improvements "has failed, is -shown In the" annual mca-; sage -of 'Mayor -George B. McClellan," which -ivas'Vubmltted to the Board of-4 Aldermen today. In all the great de partments the necessity for immediate extension is shown. The present system of water supply is Inadequate and. a plan to expend- Immediately J90.000.000 In acquiring water Rheds and 'building aqueducts and ra'ajns Js approved. Although ?2 new" school buildings were completed and many additions to existing buildings made during1 -the year, affording accommodations for more than 57,000 pupils, many thou sand children are obliged to attend part-time classes. Contracts have been let for 19 now school buildings and 29 additions, which will provide 49,500 new sittings at a cast of nearly $6,000, 000. "but in view of the average .yearly increase part-time classes will be in order next year. Of the police force, which is ndw made up to S291 officers and men, the Mayor says: "The police -force of the city Is an inferior organization only in point of numbers. He approves the recommen dation for more men. TJhere is an urgent need also for the extenilve paid fire department .system, in spljie of ihe fact .that 413 firemen were added to the force during the past year. The rapid transit system, planned but four..yers ago. -already has been over taken, says- tbe message, and the city has been put to new project to keep pace with Its expansion. In favoring municipal ownership and operation of an electric lighting plant to light the streets, parks and public build ings of Mew York, the message says: "I do not believe that the Government should -engage In any service -which can be dona better, or as -well, by private enterprise, or should Invade business fields In competition with the legitimate trade of the citizen. The prices which the city Is compelled to pay- for gas and electric light, however, arc so out of proportion -with the charges- in ottier cities that they must be extortionate." The .message says that tbe attempt to administer the business of a great city through a bi-partisan board bas been proved a signs 1 failure In the city's e perience with a bi-partisan Police Board and a bl-parsltan Aqueduct Commission. In his proposal concerning the adoption of the plans for an increased water sup ply, therefore, the Mayor will .recom mend an enactment by the Legislature placing the work in the hands of a commission, one member to be certified by the Chamber of Commerce, another by- the American Society of Civil Engi neers and the third to be chosen by the Jdayor. A statement of the city's financial con dition, which was Included in the mes sage, shows a gross funded debt of 5558. 65,517. Against this there is a sinking fund of $la4,350,352, leaving -a net funded debt of $400.9K.1S5. The present borrow ing capacity of the city Is $68,326,723. The total National debt December 1 last was MEMBERS TO GIVE BRAINS. Society Forming to Further the Study of the Human Body. NEW YORK, Jan. 2. Brain special ists have begun a movement which they hope will bring about a condition .of affairs more favorable to the study or tnc human body. It is for the for mation of a society, modoled on the plan of tho Mutual Autopsy Society of Pans, tho members of which, after their death, contribute their brains and other organs to science. A committee composed o three well-known brain experts and anatomists practicing here has been appointed for the purpose of preparing a general form of brain be quests which will hold in law and not be rendered null by any action that may be taken by relatives of the person making tho bequest. One of the leaders in the movement explained that the study of the brain at present Is chiefly hampered by ob jections of the relatives of the de ceased. In the prevailing circum stances it Is difficult to obtain, he said, tho permission of tho family for the removal, preservation and study of the organ, because the mere suggestion of an autopsy is, looked upon with horror.

The sky was overcast, and early in the day It sprinkled a little. The air, however, was as balmy as that of April, and it was no hardship for those who stood In line awaiting their turn to pass the receiving party. As the callers entered the White House they were greeted by a bursting of melody from tho Marine Band, 60 pieces strong, stationed in the great vestibule under tho baton of Lieutenant Santlcman; a blaze of color and breath of perfume from beautiful floral decorations, and a scene of splendor, the brilliancy of which was enhanced by the soft glow from myriads of shaded electric light. Tho floral decorations, while not elabo rate, were moro profuse than have char acterized recent White House receptions. Rare varieties of palms were disposed ef fectively about the vestibule and main corridor, while In the state dining-room. In the East room, and in Bed, Blue and Green parlors, rare cut flowers were ar ranged with consummate art and effect iveness.

Both the President and Mrs. Roosevelt were In excellent spirits, and joined animatedly in conversation with their guests. The receiving party was arranged In tho arc of a circle In the south end of the Blue parlor, facing the party behind the line. Between the two sections was a lane formed by old-gold silk velvet cord. in Rpi nnrlnr to the Green narlor. ' Near the entrance to the Red room the -President and Mrs. Roosevelt stood. Di rectly In the door stood a secret service officer, who closely scrutinized every per son who passea in line. Every precaution was taken throughout the house to In sure the safety of the President and others, an extra detail of police, besides several secret scrvlco officers, being on duty.

The Ambassa dor's handsome court uniform was ren- dered the more dazzling by several of the 36 decorations he has received. Most prominent of these was the Order of Al cxandrevsky set in diamonds, which he received from Emperor Nicholas! as the mark of his 55 years' service. Countess Cassinl wore, among other decorations, the Order of the Red Cross, recently con ferred upon her by the Czarina In rec ognition of her services to . the Russian Red Cross in the Far East.
