Denver, Jan. 6.-Behind locked
doors and amid ,scenes of great con-
fusion and excitement the Colorado
legislature to-day passed 9 resolution
creating a committee of fifteen mem
bers to canvass the vote cast for gov
ernor at the last election and submit
n final report to the Legislature not
later than 2 O'Clock next Monday at
ternOon. The committee is composed
Of five senators and ten representa-
tives. the political division being
twelve republicans and three demo-
Gratis.
Trouble began with the first sitting
of the joint session and continued until
it's close. It was understood before
the meeting that there would be a
conflict over the respective rights of
Speaker Dickson and Lieutenant Gov
ernar Haggott to preside over the joint
session. The speaker based his opin-
ion of his right to preside On a section
of the state constitution Which says
that Immediately upon the organiza-
ton of the house the Speaker shall
open and publish the election returns
in the presence of a majority of both
branches of the legislature Lieuten-
ant Governor Haggott construed his
right TO direct the proceedings on a
statute which declares that in con-
Quoting any contested election the
General Assembly shall convene in
joint session and the pTesi cpE of the
senate shall preside. uEfass lie Is a
oontestee. Legal advice was given to
each gentleman that his position was
correct.
Confusion at once resulted when
Mr.. Haggott took up position be-
side the speaker to direct the joint
session at the opening this morning.
Mr.. Dickson refused to give way.
The clerk of the house will call
the roll" said Speaker Dickson with
a thump of his gavel. 1.-The clerk OF
the senate will call the roll of the
senate" said Lieutenant Governor
Haggott. and Immediately the two
clerks began calling the rolls amid
great confusion.
Representative Frewen arose. 'Mr.
Frewen, you are out of order, said
Lieutenan Governor Haggott. Bang
went two gavels in the hands of the
two men side by side behind the
speakers desk who refused TO give
way. During the great confusion Mr..
Frewen was speaking but his voice
was not distinguishable.
When the motion to adjourn came
to vote the ayes and noes sounded IN
about equal volume. "The ayes have
it, and the joint session is dissolved, =
shouted Mr.. Haggott. THE noes have
il and the motion is lost" shouted
Speaker Dickson.
Whackl went the lieutenant gov
ernor's gavel. 'The assembly is dis
solved" he shouted. The assembly
is not dissolved" called Speaker Dick
son.
The senators filed out when the
lieutenant governor again called out
that the joint session was dissolved.
A number of senator's remained in the
hall TO watch proceedings.
Speaker Dickson refused 70 Tecog-
nize the passing out of the senators
and declared the joint session still in
progress and after a motion com.
mittee to canvass the vote was ap-
Eointed.

cEPT THAT FOR WHICH IT Is
cALLED-sHoRTER MEETINGS
WILL BE HELD BY THE NEW
BOARD. 4

The County Commissioners met in
special session last night, Chairman
Avery presiding and Commissioners
Steward, Virgins, Andrews and Sen
mott present.
The meeting was held for the pur-
pose of selecting a jury list from the
list of registered voters in the county
and it occupied considerable time.
Previous to the work for which the
meeting was called, however DR.. s.
NJ. Gonzalez, county health officer,
asked that the board consider a petit
ton which he presented requesting
his Te-appointment, and also invests
gate the charges which he alleged had
been made against him by the grand
jury.
Chairman Makes Good Ruling.
Chairman Avery ruled that as the
meeting had been called for a special
purpose. this matter would have TO go
over till the regular meeting, next
Tuesday night-a ruling which was
sustained by the board and to which
Dr.. Gonzalez agreed Chairman Avery
also took occasion to say that here
after all petitions, applications for ap-
pointment, and other requests Of SINH
lar nature would have to lie over
to regular meetings and that they
would also be advertised through the
papers so that every one interested
would have a chance 20 appear and
be heard.
The Finance Committee.
Chairman Aver announced that he
mad appointed Commissioners Steward

committee and he took occasion to
emphasize the importance OF that COM

ness for which the meeting was call
ed, the members entered into an in
formal discussion as to the future
procedure of the board The chair
man, who had formerly occupied pub
lie positions Of this character, empha-
sized the fact that there was no ne
cessity whatever for lengthy sessions,
as the business could be transacted
within two hours as well as four,
provided the finance committee could
prepare its report in time for Dresenta-
ton to the board at the regular hour
Of converting.
There was some discussion upon
the question, but every member agreed
that the business could be done within
a short time, and that lengthy ses-
sions, such as had been INDUCED in
by the old board, were not necessary.
The board. after considerable dis
cussion, decided that hereafter their
sessions. would convene at Z O'Clock,
and Chairman Avery ordered that the
