TO RETAIN PEABODY
COLORADO LEGIsLATURE IS PRE-
 PAIRING THE WAY.
Committee Named to Canvass Election Returns is Composed of Twelve Republicans and Three Lone
 iy Democrats.

Denver, Col, Jan. 6.--Behind locked doors and amid scenes of great con- fusion and excitement, the Colorado Legislature today passed a resolution creating q committee of fifteen mem bers to canvass the vote cast for Gov ernor at the last election and submit q final report to the Legislature not later than o'clock the afternoon of next Monday.
 The Committee is composed of five Senators and ten Representatives, the political division being twelve Repub- Hcans and three Democrats. It or ganiZed this afternoon by the election of Senator Arthur Conforth of Colo rado Springs as Chairman and will commence the hearing of evidence to- morrow.
 The trouble began with the first sit ting of the joint session and contin- ued until its close. It was under stood that there would be a conflict over the respective rights of Speaker Dickson and Lieutenant Governor flag gott to preside over the joint session. The Speaker based his opinion of his right to preside on @ section of the State Constitution which says that inn mediately on tho organization of the House the Speaker shall open and publish the election returns in the presence of a majority of botb branches of the Legislature.
 Lieutenant Governor Haggott con- strued his right to direct the proceed ings on a statute which declares that in conducting any contested election the General Assembly shall convene in joint session and that the President of the Senate shall preside unless he is the contestee.
 Legal advice was given to each gen. tleman that his position was correct.

Birmingham, Jan. 6.--(Special)-The police department of Birmingham ana the detective force of the Louisville ana Nashville Railroad are working on several cases of pocket picking which have taken place in the Union passen- ger station at this point or on trains of that road. Yesterday morning two passengers were robbed. Last night F. W. Greene, division passenger agent of the Wabash Railroad, with head quarters in Louisville. was passing through the city when he was robbed of a fine diamond stud in the station here. MT. Greene felt the thief at work and grabbed the man. After getting his diamond back MT Greene allowed the pickpocket to escape. A full description was given the rail- road oficials and police department of the man caught by MT. Greene. It is believed that MT. Green did not care to remain here to be a witness and therefore allowed the thief to get away.
 The police believe that there are three pickpockets in Birmingham at present. Indications point to safe blowers being here also, men wno have been blowing safes in country postoffices in Alabama. Several men have been in stores endeavoring to sell stamps at twenty-five per cent re- duction.
