Tfi&YM'SK JUDICIAL DECISION
QueBton'l,yhether Legislature Has
' Pqyverito -JJecjare Governorship
Yacian'-Bfibery Case" De-
j$ayed- Despite Protests.
. DENVER, March 8. The. joint .legisla
tive cbnventlgn-has sought an opinion
from the State Supreme Court on tne
question whether it has the power to
declare the office of Governor vacant and
what the .effect of such Action would be,
and the decision of the Pcabody-Adams
Gubernatorial contest will be deferred un
til' the court's answer is received.
Senator Morton Alexander, a member of
he contest committee, was allowed this
afternoon to amend his report, which fa- :
Yored the seating of Lieutenant-Governor
Jesse -A. McDonald as Governor, in such
a way that. If it be now adopted by the
3oint convention, Governor Adams will
be ' legislated out ot office. Alexander's
amended report declares that no legal
election for the office of Governor was
held in the state last November, but the
resolution declaring Lieutenant-Governor
McDonald "the legal, duly qualified Gov
ernor, of the state," is omitted and the
following is substituted:
4Rcsoled.. that the action of the joint
assembly in declaring Aiya Adams elect
ed Governor be hereby rescinded and re
voked and that a vacancy be declared in
the office of Governor."
Under the constitution, the adoption ot
the Alexander resolution would seem to
have the effect of continuing -ex-Governor
James H. Peabody in office, his legal
nuccessor not having been, elected. That
question, however, will be submitted to
the Supreme Court for adjudication be
fore a vote Is taken on any of the re
ports now before the joint assembly.
Bribery Hearing Postponed.
In the meantime the allegations of Sen
ator Richard W. Morgan in regard to
bribery will be held. In abeyance. The
committee which has charge of the in
vestigation of this matter held a brief
meeting this afternoon, after which Sen
ator Arthur W. Cornforth, its chairman,
announced that, at the request of the
attorneys on both sides, an adjournment
hod been taken subjeot to the call of the
chairman, or practically until he Gov
ernorship tangle had been straightened
out.
As soon as the joint convention met
this afternoon Alexander asked unani
mous consent to amend his report, and he
read the report as be wished it amended.
This change of front came as a thunder
clap to the Democrats, and tney asked for
and obtained a recess of 15 minutes for
consideration of the matter. After the
recess - objection was made to allowing
Alexander to amend his report in the
manner indicated. On motion, however,
the amendment was allowed by a vote or
6 to 32. one Republican voting with tbe
Democrats in the negative.
Senator L G. Campbell, a Republican,
at once submitted a resolution to submit
to the Supreme Court the questions of the
right of the Joint assembly to adopt the
Alexander report and. If it should be
adopted, what its effect would be. cepe-
clally who would thon be Governor of
Colorado. This resolution was adopted
and the joint assembly took a recess un
til tomorrow morning.
Division of Opinion.
The Legislature consists at present of
S7 members. 60 Republicans and 31 Demo
crats, the Republicans having a majority
of S3 on Joint ballot. Twenty-two Re
publicans. It Is commonly reported, have
decided In conference that Peabody has
failed to prove his election, but many of
them would not agree to vote to sustain
the Democratic Governor. These Repub
licans, it is said, have united In support
of the report of Senator Morton Alexan
der, a member of the Joint contest com
mlttee, which declarer that the election
for Governor was null and void, there
being fraud on both eldes: that there is
a vacancy in the office, and that there
fore the Lieutonant-Govemor, by virtue
of the constitution, should succeed to the
Governorship.
The Peabodyllcs declare that this
method ot settling the contest is uncon
stitutional and Impracticable. Lieutenant
Governor Jesse A. McDonald has pub
licly announced to the members of the
General Assembly that ho has been legally
advised that It would be a wrongful and
Illegal act to seat him as Governor as
a compromise or makeshift in deciding
the contest.
'Prompt Action on Bribery Sought.
At the forenoon session ot the- joint
assembly. Representative J. O'Connell
crlflclsed the Republican majority of the
bribery Investigating committee, of which
he Is .a minority member, for not pro
ceeding promptly with the investigation
of ."the charges mode by. Senator. Morgan
and for adopting star chamber methods.
Senator Cornforth, chairman of the com
mittee, explained Its delay by saying that
the-'tRepubllcah members wanted to it
tend' a caucus and the sessions of the
Joint convention and defended its course
in holding secret sessions on the ground
that the members of the General "Assem
bly would more readily give testimony re
carding attempts to bribe them In secret
sessions than at public hearings. He said
he would not serve as chairman of the
committee unless the hearings could be
hold privately. A -motion by. O'Connell to
instruct the committee to proceed imme
dlately with the- investigation of Morgan's
charges was declared out of order be
cause the question of adopting the major
ity report of the contest committee was
bofore the House.
James M. Herbert, vice-president ot the
Colorado & Southern Railroad, is in
dlgnant at the action of the bribery In
vestigating committee in falling to hear
nis witnesses1 ana report promptly. Twenty-five
witnesses for Mr. Herbert were
waiting to be heard last night when Sen
ator Cornforth Informed the other mem
bers that the meeting would be postponed
until 2:30 P. M. today.
"Erery publicity ia given the charges
against us." said Mr. Herbert, "but when
we appear to defend ourselves we are not
allowed to face our accusers, .and every
thing that we have to offer in defense
is kept by the committee as much ot
secret as possible.

THEY HAD 20 EIGHT TO STRIKE
Action of Subway Men Condemned
by Their -National Officers.
XBW TORK, March 9. The most inter
esting development in the Subway and
Elevated - Railway strike in New York
was the stand taken by some of the
National labor leaders In repudiating the
action of the local leaders, who ordered
and are conducting the strike The llret
Intimation that the public had that the
strike was not Indorsed by the National
unions came in a statement from Grand
Chle'f "Warren'S; Stone, of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, to which
the motormen belong. Mr. Stone Insisted
that the strike was a violation of laws of
National union, the men- having broken
their contract with the Interborough Com
pany. He ordered the men to return for
duty, failing which, expulsion from the
organization is threatened. He said:
"The present strike is in direct violation
of our law. It is not recognized, nor
ill it be supported by our organization.
The contract entered Into September, 1904,
e recognized to be as binding today as
It was when signed, and loyal members
of the Brotherhood are instructed to at,
once report for duty. Members refusing'
to do so will be expelled. No request
was made -nor granted for authority to
strike nor were the officers of the Brother
hood consulted. This is the first time
in the history of the Brotherhood that
our members have repudiated their agree
ment with any railroad.
Labor organizations must keep their
part of the agreements Inviolable if they
expect to succeed. Had our laws been
complied with, conditions as they now
appear could not exist on the lines of
the Interborough Company."
William C. Jencks, head of the local
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, de
clared that he did not recognize Mr.
Stone's statement as having any influence
upon him or the strike. "Mr. Stone can
not dictate to me." said he. "Shall he
tell mc whether we shall have support or
not? The men were ordered out and
re out and will stay out until the strike
is won."
Timothy Healy. president ot the Inter
national Brotherhood of Stationary Fire
men, said he would not call out the mem
bers of his organization unless requested
by President Mahon.
W. D. Mahon. president of the Amalga
mated Association of Street & Electric
Railway Employes of America, issued a
statement tonight similar in tenor to that
issued by Mr. Stone. He says the strike
was not authorized by the national body
and that the strikers must go back to
work.
The executive committee of the joint
bodies of the Amalgamated and the
Brotherhood issued a statement denying
that Mr. Stone had ordered the men to
return to work and adding that the
strikers would fight until they won, and
made attacks on Mr. Stone, declaring the
local unions were quite independent of
the National union.
Notwithstanding the efforts of the local
leaders, there were indications around
strike headquarters that at least some
of the men were ready to give up the
fight, and some of them have already
gone back to work. The situation in
the subway tonight was almost perfect.
the local trains being run during the
rush hours on schedule time.
At the offices of the company it was
said tonight that 300 of the old employes
had applied for reinstatement. The Inter
borough Company also sent out letters ad
vising their employes to appeal to the
police when molested, guaranteeing pro
tection, and saying that all competent
men would be retained.

of yesterday from Madagascar, announc-
Ing that Admiral RoJestvens-ky's entire
squadron was returning to Jibuti!, French

but it is generally accepted as being
fact and appears to be coincident with
Russia's canceling large orders for sup
piles and munitions, to be forwarded to
the Russian second Pacific squadron.
Russian officials here recently discussed
the probability of the squadron turning
back. It was pointed out that the prin
cipal mission of Rojestvensky ended with
the fall of Port Arthur, and that there
fore it was desirable that he should not
proceed, but return to await the third
squadron. Captain Clado, who is Rojest-
vensky's tactical chief of staff, was ex
pected to join the squadron on the con
elusion of the international inquiry into
the North Sea incident, but it is sig
niflcant that Clado received orders to re
turn to St. Petersburg.
Before his departure, Clado published
personal pamphlet, in which ho set
forth the imperative necessity for
strengthening Rojestvenskor's squadron
before th latter -was compelled to en
gage Admiral Togo. The Captain
maintained that this required the
speedy concentration of a third squadron-
and also adding the best ships ot
the Black Sea fleet to Rojcstvensky'a
squadron.

caught on the inaugural platform on

While In the Senate Monday he talked
with some of his Democratic colleagues
concerning his plans for the next session
ot Congress, which related almost ex
clusively to the question of statehood for

NEED NOT DECIDE QUESTION YET
Choice Betweei Sea-Level and Lock
Canal May Be Deferred.
WASHINGTON. March 3. There is
authority for the statement that the
question as to whether the Isthmian
Canal shall be made a sea-level water
way or constructed on the lock system
need not be determined at the outset of
the work. In , fact, it Is stated that
work could progress for five years or
more before this matter would neces
sarily be decided and without in any
way retarding- the progress of con
struction or causing any delay.
The explanation is made in this con
nection that the same wqrk would be j
required for the early stage of a sea- !
level canal that will be necessary In
the construction of a 66-foot cut, or. In
other words, that the same excavation
work would be required for the one as
for the other. Thus ample time would
be given for a most exhaustive consid
eration of the subject and for a thor
ough study of all the engineering prob
lems Involved before determining- upon
tho character of tho waterway.
While It is not necessarily a legisla
tive question, yet a decision to adopt
sea-level plan would mean that a
much larger sum would be required for
the construction ot tho canal than Con
gress had authorized ior the comple
tion of the project and Congress would
be called upon for a further authoriza
tion, thus Indirectly bringing the qucs-
tloa of a sea-level canal before the leg
islative branch of the Government. The
Executive and the Commission have
under consideration a strong recom
mendation in favor of a sea-level canal.
CANAL -COMMISSION MEETS.
Admiral Walker Declines to Talk of
Coming Decapitation.
NEW YORK. March 9. The regular bi

Walker, the chairman of the commission,
the matter of contracts for supplies was
not taken up openly, only routine mat
ters being considered.
Admiral Walker was shown a dispatch
from Washington which stated that he
will probably not bo retained as a mem
ber of the commission and that radical
changes are contemplated by the Admin
istration. The Admiral declined to dis
cuss the matter.
The directors of the Panama Railroad
Company in the afternoon held a brief
and unimportant session, according to the
statements issued after the meeting. The
Canal Commissioners, with tho exception
of Mr. Parsons, returned to Washington
soon after the close of. the directors
