whites and Negroes.

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 29.-The negro
educators seem to be a unit in declar-

the united efforts of the better class
of white people and the better class
of negroes. both North and South.
Among the numerous subjects dis-
cussed to-day was 1.-THE Teachers In

COLORADO REPUBLICANS

State Canvassing Board, Consisting
of Gov. Peabody and His Repub-
lican OmcinIs, Have Issued Ger

Resent Peabody.
Denver, COL. Dec. 29.-By the ac-
ton of the state canvassing board in
issuing certificates of election as sena-
tors to Cashmere Barela and Henry
b. Willard. the Republicans have Sc
cured such absolute control OF the
General Assembly that 1t is now re-
garded In Democratic circles as high
ly probable that Gov. James II. Pea
cans plan, 1t is said, to accomplish this
by throwing out the vote of all Demo-
cratic wards in Denver and counting
the vote of the Republican wards.
Although the members of the can
wasting board refused to say how they
stood on the proposition TO go behind
the returns. 1t has been learned that
one member, State Treasurer Whitney
Newton. was opposed to the action
taken. Those who voted in favor of
unseating Democratic senators elect
are: Gov. James H. Peabody, Secre-
tary of State James Cowie, Attorney
General N. c. Miller and Auditor ].
A. Holmberg. All the members of the
board are Republicans.
Judge Carpenter Appeared.
District Judge Samuel L. Carpenter
appeared before the Supreme Court to-
day in response to citation requiring
him to show cause why he should not
quash the alternative writs of manda-
mus issued by him against the state
board of canvassers and explain why
he assumed jurisdiction In disregard OF
the opinion and judgment of the Su-
preme Court. Judge Carpenter issued
the writs in question requiring the
board to accept the returns from Las
Animas and Boulder counties. which
showed the election of the Democratic
candidates for the Senate after the su-
preme Court had refused the Demo-
Gratis permission to file a mandamus
suit and ordered the lower courts not
to interfere with the canvassing board.
Judge Carpenter explained that he
did not know the full purport OF the SUI
preme Courts decision when he Issued
the writs and admitted that the high
err courts order made 1t obligatory to
dismiss the proceedings in the district.
This explanation was accepted and the
citation against him was dismissed.
some Republicans May Stick by

Very few members OF the Legisla-
ture have yet arrived in the city, and
whether the plans Of William G. Evans
and other Republican leaders to reseat
Gov James Peabody will be adopted
by a majority OF the Republican men,
bers is still undecided. The Republic
cans have an even two-thirds of the
votes on joint ballot. and can carry
any measure on which they are united.
A Republican caucus probably will
be held next Monday, at which the
plan to continue Gov. Peabody in office
will be considered. Some Republican
members, known as followers OF Ed

cause he had persistently refused to
serve communion to Mrs. Emma %.
Elliott of Huntingdon. Pa, who is d.
voreed, against the wishes OF Bishop
Talbot. DR.. Irvine said: The canons
OF the church provide explicitly that a
man or woman divorced on any
charge, except that of adultery, which
must be proven beyond the hounds of
reasonable doubt, cannot receive the
holy sacrament. In the face OF this
Bishop Talbot covertly and by secret
meetings with Mrs. Elliott, who is q
woman divorced on the grounds of de-
sertion, sought to have her remain In
the church"
DR.. Irvine denied all the charges In
the Upjohn letter.
