REPUBLICANS IN CONTROL.
Democrats Regard the Seating OF Pea
body as Highly Probable.
(Rv the Associated PICS. J

Denver Colo, Zee. 29.-By the ac-
ton of the State canVassing board in
issuing certificates of election as Sena-
tors TO Cashmere BaroIa and Henry X.
Willard, the Republicans have secured
such absolute control of the genera
assembly that it is now regarded In
Democratic circles as highly probable
that Governor James II. Peabody viii
be re-seated. The Republican plan.
it is said is to accomplish this by
throwing out the vote of all Demo-
cratic wards of Denver and counting
the vote of the Republican wards.
Although the members of the can
vassing board refused to say how they
stood on the proposition to go behind
the returns it has been learned thai
one member, State Treasurer Whitney
Newton, was opposed to the action
taken. Those VINO voted in favor or
unseating the Democratic Senator's
elect are: Governor James H. Pea
body Secretary of State James Cowie.
Attorney General n. c. Miller and Au-
ditor j. A. Homburg. All the members
of the board are Republicans.
District Judge Samuel l.. Carpenter
appeared before the Supreme Court
to-day in response to a citation requir-
ing him to show cause why he should
not quash the alternative writ of
mandamus issued by him against the
plain why he assumed jurisdiction IN
disregard of the opinion and Judgment
of the Supreme Court. Judge Car
penter issued the wrts in question, re-
curing the board to accept the returns
from Las Animas and Boulder coGn-
ties. which showed the election of trc
Democratic candidates for the Senate
after the Supreme Court had refused
the Democrats permission to file a
mandamus suit and ordered the lower
courts not to interfere with the cam
Ivass.
Carpenter explained that he did not
know the full purport of the Supreme
Courts decision when he issued the
writs and admitted that the higher
courts order made it obligatory to dis
miss the proceedings in the district
This explanation was accepted and the
citation against him was dismissed.
Very few members of the Legisla-
ture have yet arrived in the city and
whether the plans of William c.
Evans and other Republican leaders
to reseat Governor James Peabody will
be adopted by a majority of the Re-
publican members is still undecided
The Republicans have an even two
thirds of the votes on joint ballot
and can carry any measure on which
probably will be held next Monday at
which the plan to continue Governor
Peabody in Office will be considered.
Some Republican members known
followers of Edward O. Wolcott, have
declared that While they don't con-
template a union with the Democrats
under any consideration. they will OPP
pose vigorously any plan for keeping
Adams out of the governorship.

CHILD LABOR IN MILLS.
More Children in Pennsylvania Mills
Than in Those OF all the Suthern
States Put Together.
CBy the Associated Press.)

Philadelphia, Dec. 29.-Diet as a
factor in the prevention and cure of
consumption, the negro race problem,
child labor question in Southern
mills, and q numebr of other themes
of equal interest for medthe basis of
some of the many papers read before
the second days session of the Ameri-
can Citizen Association for the ad-
vancement of the sciences.
Edward l.. Rlackshear, of the
Prairie View Normal and Industrial
College of Texas. discussed Some
survivals of primitive racial instincts
in American negroes He sad the ed
ucation needed by the negro is one
that will develop character, sense
of personal responsibility and sense
of the inyiolabilty of personality. AS
a solution for the race problem he
said he would suggest simply educa-
ton, experience and the scattering Of
negoes over the country.
Prof A. j. McKeivey assistant sec
rotary of the National Child Labor
Committee. read paper on Child
Labor in the Southern Mills.
After calling attention TO the con-
ditionS of comparative we'll being
that exists among the children of the
South he said there are more child
rem under sixteen years of age work
ing in the factories of Pennsylvania
than there are in all the Southern
States put together. One reason why
the percentage of child workers to
adult workers is large in the South
is that the percentage of children
is larger. While Massachusetts has
100000 more population than Georgia
he said. the Southern State had 100,-
900 more children of school age than
the New England State,
The South. he said is leading the
country in wages compared with the
cost of living, in sanitary conditions
and in other ways, though there are
some conditions that ought to be
wiped out. 1t was his opinion that
child labor was not sectional but
a national evil.
