DENVER, Dec. 2S.-This afternoon
the supreme court announced its de-
cision not to grant the application of
Michael Beshoar, Democratic candi-
date for the state senate in Las AMI
mas county, for leave to file an appli-
cation for a writ of mandamus to COM
pei the state board of canvassers to
canvass the returns showing his cleo
tiOn and issue certificate to him.
This decision applies likewise to the
contest from Boulder county, where
Senator Charles B. Ward, Democrat,
was reelected on the face of the re-
turns and the Republican attorney
asked the board to issue the certificate
to the Republican candidate. The
court decided that it had no jurisdic-
tion over the board.
The decision of the court of appeals
two years ago in a similar election
case that the board had discretionary
powers was cited and the court de-
clared that the decision was a just
one, as two election judges might con-
spire to certify to false returns, and
if the returns were permitted to stand
despite any protests that might be

would be thwarted.
Immediately after the decision was
given, the board proceeded with the
canvass. The doors were locked to
prevent the service of a writ of in
junction issued by District Judge Car
penter restraining the board from is
suing certificates of election to the
Republican contestants, Cashmere

WILL DELIVER DEEDS.
Yet Indian Chiefs Ignore seere-
tary of interior

MUSKoGEE, /. T.. Dec. 2S.-Green
McCurtain, chief of the Choctaw ma
ton, and J. W. johnson, chief Of the
Chickasaw nation, have announced
that they will commence at once to
deliver deeds to Indians for the lands
allotted them. There are 5000 such
deeds, the chiefs having for a year re-
fused to deliver the deeds in an effort
to prevent their people from disposing
Of the land. The chiefs have not
wholly surrendered to the general gov
ernment, for they declare they will de-
liver the deeds without sending them
to Washington for the signature of the
secretary of the interior. The contro-
versy involves 100000 acres of land.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-Benjamin ].
Riley, of Springfield, Mass, tonight de-
clared that he and Orestes A. Weed, of
Boston, came to this city with the in-
tention of committing suicide together.
The men were taken from the Grand
Union hotel here early today saffering
from morphine poisoning, and Wood
died at the hospital after the physi-
clans had tried for hours to save him.
Riley was revived this afternoon and
was transferred to the prison ward of
Bellevue hospital, where he is held on a
charge of attempted suicide. 1t is
thought that he will recover.
According to Coroner Scholler, Riley.
who gave his home as Brookline, Mass,
made the following statement:
Weed and have been chums since
boyhood Last Sunday we happened
to meet in Boston. We told each other
of the trials we had encountered dur

SHOCKS POLICEMAN
Charged With Assault, He Is
Indicted for Murder

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-Commitment
TO Jail on a charge of murder in the
first degree without bail was the sur
prise which greeted Frank McLaugh-
lin, a patrolman when he appeared in
the criminal court today to plead to an
Indictment charging him with assault
upon James P. Robbins, a newspaper
reporter The new charge was based
upon an Indictment which District At
torney jerome said would be returned
by the grand jury tomorrow.
Mclaughlin was once before ar
rested in connection with the killing of
John w. Patterson, watchman. The
coroner's jury found that he shot Pat
terson in self-defense and he was dis
charged. The district attorney was not
satisfied and began an investigation,
which, he says, has resulted in an in
dictment charging murder in the first
degree. When McLaughlin's counsel
asked for postponement District At
torney Jerome said:
1 have no objection to postponement
of the assault case, but that is not the
charge now before the court This man
has been arrested on a warrant charging
him with murder in the first degree, the
brutal and unwarranted killing of negro
.SaSt May.
The policeman turned pale, shook
and grasped the railing for support.
His lawyer looked in amazement at
Mr.. Jerome, who continued:
On the night of May 81 this prisoner,
without the slightest provocation. slipped
up behind a respectable. colored man, j. w.
Patterson. who was employed as watch
man, and struck him over the head with
his club In falling the negro grappled
with his assailant, and during the struggle
this man drew his revolver and fired two
shots, both inf1icting slight injuries. The
victim managed to get to his feet and
run. AS he ran this man fired again and
shot him down, the bullet entering his
back. The negro died from his wounds on
June 6. and a short time afterwards a
coroners jury eXonerated the prisoner, ]
made rigid examination. This convinc-
ed me a deliberate murder had been COM
mitted and the grand jury reached the
same conclusion.
Mclaughlin was taken to the
Tombs.

Special to the Globe

Special to the Globe
NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-The World
says that CONSERVATION was thrown
into the camp of Frank S. Black today
by a report that Gov. Odell had de-
cided to transfer his strength to De-
pew or reserve it for himself in the
senatorial fight. A committee was
hurriedly dispatched to the Republican
club to force the governor to commit
himself one way or the other, but the
governor refused to say what he would
do.
There was scene in the club be-
tween Odell and Lou Payn. The states
man from Columbia is said to have
walked the floor, waved his arms and
used language of shocking character in
trying to convince the governor it was
his duty to declare for the candidacy
of Black. Gov Odell is something on
language himself and there was a
great controversy.

BISHOP TALBOT COURT
DECLARED ILLEGAL
1t Is Said to Have Been Formed
Under New Canon Not
Yet in Force

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. Is
There will be no hearing of the charges
against Bishop Ethelbert Talbot of the
diocese of Central Pennsylvania, by the
court recently appointed by Bishop
Talbot, is the statement made by
churchmen who are we'll Informed in
the canonical laws of the Episcopal
church A complication has developed
which they say will put a stop ef-
fectually to the proceedings before the
court of inquiry as now constituted.
The trouble comes from a recent
change in the canoFa of the church
regarding the appointment of a court
of this character.
In an editorial in the Church
Standard tomorrow the Rev. John
Fuller, the editor. will say that
the presiding bishop has con-
stituted the court under a canon which
was superseded by the recent con-
ference. The canon will come into
effect Jan. L, 1905. The board of in
quiry is called to meet on Jan. TO- and
when it does meet on that date it will
not be constituted as the new canon
requires. 1t will therefore have no
power to proceed with the inquiry for
which it is called.
Rev. DR.. w. Bodine, who will be
chairman of the committee on inquiry,
considers very important the conclu-
sions of DR.. Fulton. He explained that
under the canon which expires on Jan.
/, a court of inquiry is composed OF
sixteen members. The new canon pro-
vides for a court or board consisting
of only the members. These must be
appointed by certain bishops, desig-
mated by the canon.
Men versed in church law say that
the only course now left is to let the
present court meet on the date
named. 1t can then decide that it no
longer has jurisdiction in such matters
and refer the matter back to Bishop
Tuttle, the presiding bishop. for
further action.

that gave any promise and we were
downhearted.
Our talk drifted to suicide and one
of US proposed can't tell which

agreed and we made preparations to
die together"
Riley then told the coroner Of how
they left Boston and came to this city.
They went Immediately to the Grand
Union hotel, where they registered and
were assigned tosa room. Riley said
he and Weed discussed the best meth
DDS of ending their lives and it was
decided to take morphine. They left
the hotel late in the afternoon together
and went to drug store, where they
purchased the poison.

continued, but one of us proposed to
put it off for a few hours. We had
