VICTORY FOR
REPUBLICANS
Colorado Supreme Court Renders
Decision Throwing Out Votes
of Five Denver Precincts.
CONTROL LEGISLATURE
Which Canvasses Vote for State OH'
cers...Looks Bright for Governor
Peabody.

Denver, Colo. Dec. 17.-Chief JUS
tice Gabbert today announced the de-
cision of the supreme court to throw
out the entire vote of the three pre-
cincts of ward 5 and one precinct IN
ward Z at the late election on the
ground that gross frauds were commit
ted indirect violation of the injunction
served upon the election ofhclals
Judge Campbell concurred in the decis-
ion but Judge Steele dissented, saying
that only the illegal votes, which had
been identified, should be rejected and
the legal votes should be counted.
The decision does not affect the
votes for president and congressman
which had already been counted with
permission of the court. Through the
action of the court in excluding the
five Denver precincts from the abstract
of the returns to date, the Republicans
will secure a solid delegation in the
legislature from the city and county OF
Denver and will obtain control OF both
branches of the legislature, which can
vases the vote for state officers.
On the face of the returns Alya Ad-
ans. Democratic candidate for govern
or, had a plurality of about 1000, but
the Republican managers claim that
with all the fraudulent votes eliminat-
ed. Governor Peabody will have plu-
rality and will be seated.
The five precincts which have been
excluded from the count by the su-
preme court returned 1,455 Democrat
ic votes and 273 Republican. The
court today heard testimony on the
contempt charges against billy
Green, police officer; Frank Mcmahon,
Jean De Saye Robert Goodman and
Edward J. Wheeler in connection with
the election in precinct 3 of ward T.
Wheeler has disappeared but the 9TH
er defendants were in court George
j. Kindel, supreme court watcher, tes-
tilted that there was much repeating
at the election in this precinct which
was actively aided by Green and Good
man. The court ordered the ballot box
opened and the ballots examined by
experts.

Nine BURNED
TO DEATH.
On Steamer Which is Destroyed
By Fire While En- Route From
New York to New Haven.
TUG TO THE RESCUE
Picks Up Survivors Who Escaped 10
Small Boats...Lost Every
Thing.

New York, Dec. II - By the
burning of the Star Line steam
er. Glen Island, in Long lslano
Sound. today, nine lives were lost ana
property roughly estimated at quar-
ter of a million dollars destroyed. Ihat
more lives were not sacrificed was un-
doubtedly due to the personal courage
of the officers and crew and the excel
lent discipline maintained when nor
rible death for all seemed a certainty.
When the steamer was abandoned IL
was flame swept from stern to stem
and yet the only persons who lost tnelr
lives were those whose escape mad
been entirely cut off before the alarm
reached them.
The dead ares Passengers, unknown
Hebrew woman, said to be OF New
Haven, unknown man supposed to be
a New Yorker; crew: w. E. HendrlcK'
son, assistant engineer; Luman Miller,
fireman; Frank Bush, fireman; John
Burke, fireman; Otto l.. Alaforan, nre'
man, and o. Berg, deck hand.
The vessel left it's pier in the North
River at 9 o'clock last night with ten
or twelve passengers and heavy car
go. Fire was discovered before mid
night off Executive Point in the Sound.
How it started is not known, but sud-
denly the whole boat seemed to pc,
come filled with smoke and the elec'
trio lights were extinguished.
Boats were hurriedly lowered and all
but two passengers, man and woman
and seven members of the crew, es'
capped. The tug which sighted the
Glen Island picked up the passengers
and crew from the small boats.
The survivors of the burned steam
er arrived in this city about dayligh,
on the steamer Erastus Corning, II
which they were transferred by thu
tug. They were scantily clothed ant
lost everything they possessed in theil
rush to the boats. Captain Charles
McAllister. who commanded the Gler
Island. escaped with only his under
clothes, trousers and overcoat He los
nearly everything he owned, including
money, jewelry and clothing.
According to First Mate Larsen, thf
fire broke out in the forward part o.
the steamer, and gained such head
way that it was hopeless to attempt tt
fight 1t and in few minutes the Whole
steamer was ablaze. Four flremen
two deck hands and Engineer Hen
erickson, who perished, could not es
cape from the hold. The two passen
gers reported dead were missing wnel
the survivors took to the boats.

IS A STRUGGLE
FOR SUPREMACY
Fioht Between U. S. Senators Of East
and West on Statehood
Question-Smoot Case.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 17,-What-
ever may be the high-sounding praises
and high arguments which have been
used to becloud the statehood contro-
versy, it has now become apparent
that the struggle is one for supremacy
in the United States between the East
and the West. Senators who during
the last session were bitterly opposing
single statehood for the territories, and
who prevented action on it, are now
found urging the Rodey-Hamilton bill
strenuously. They gave publicly as
their reason the changed conditions or
population, education and other well.
known arguments.
AS a matter of fact, it is known that
they are now willing and anxious to
carve out two new states, because 1t
will minimize the influence of the
Southwest in the Senate and House,
and preserve the dominance of the
East, where Western senators and
members are outnumbered. Senator
Bard put the matter in forcible light
when he drew attention to the fac1
that but two senators would represent
a geological area Of 1,500 miles long
while this same measure laid along
the Atlantic coast would pass all o.
the numerous states from Maine tt
the Florida keys, each represented by
two senators. OF course, the House
representation will change with in
creased population, but the great area
will never be represented by more
than four senators, and it is the wisf
of the Eastern men to retain control
Hearing Of smoot Continues.
When the Smoot case was resumed
in the Senate today, Charles H. Jack
son, chairman of the Democratic stat
central committee Of Idaho, was agail
on the stand. The testimony toda,
followed on the same lines as yester
day in regard to the. interference II
politics by the Mormons. -
