THE BRIEFS FILED
Claims of Counsel in the Cases Of Pea
body and Adams, Colorado Election
Controversy, Are Filed With the In
vestigating Committee Today.

Denver, Feb. 27.-Printed copies of
briefs of the findings of counsel for
James H. Peabody and Alva Adams in
the gubernatorial contest were today
placed in the hands of each member
of the committee which heard the evil
dence in the case and the committee
began consideration of it's report,
which is to be submitted to the gen.
eral assembly on Thursday next. Pea
body's brief claims his election by g.
433 majority, this result, being reach
ed by rejecting the entire vote of 104
Denver precincts and number of
precincts in Adams. Boulder, Conejos
and Pueblo counties, which gave a
democratic majority Claims are made
that the returns from these precincts
are so permeated with fraud that the
results of the election in them can
not be determined. The Adams brief
claims he has majority of 6,905 af-
ter eliminating all precincts in which
the fairness of the election has not
been proved.

Mukden, Feb. 27-Fighting continues
in front and west of Tie pass. On the
extreme east the Japanese have taken
the outlying positions, and they now
threaten the main defense. Owing to
their formidable attack it is thought
the Japanese artillerymen are veter-
ans from Port Arthur, commanded by
General Nogi. Forty wounded Rus
slams arrived at Mukden yesterday and
400 are expected today. Other indica-
tions point to an unusual struggle.
A clustering snow storm all day is
ending in bitter wind, which may
modify the threatened conflicts The
region of the Japanese attack is light
ly wooded and high mountains, favor
able to the Russian operations. The
force of Japanese, with unknown
strength, joined with Chinese brigands
west of Kungchia1in is still menacing
the Russians in that region. The cam
nonade along the Russian center dim
inished in intensity yesterday. There
is no evidence of activity on the part
Of the Japanese, who were strongly
Strengthening the site Of the Russian
operations toward Liao Yang in the
latter part of January.
1t is reported the turning of the
Russian right was largely imaginary,
but affairs on the left flank, where the
Japs have several divisions concen-
trated, are more serious.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1905-02-27

the Japanese are likely to attempt to
drive in the Russian left much further.
General Kuropatkin evidently has been
trying to establish his left flank far in
advance, to command the crossings of
the T'eitse river, the operation being
count part Of General Gripenberg's S
movement on the right flank to se-
cure the fords of the Hun river, prepar-
atory to the breaking UP OF the ice in
the spring. The scene of the operations
is fifty miles southeast of Mukden, be-
yond Da pass, an important defile COM
manding the road to Fushan. Both
armies; are occupying apparently inn
pregnable positions on the centers.
General Kuropatkin evidently planned
to begin widely sweeping operations
on both fanks, but the Japanese coun-
tered hard.
Associated Press dispatches from the
front indicate that the weather is fine
and favorable for operations, and that
all is quiet on the Russian right wing.
According to a Vladivostok dispatch
to the Associated Press, the entrance
to that harbor is open, and the squad
ron, which is seaworthy, is apparently
taking no risks, but is saving its
strength for cooperation with Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron. \

printed in different parts of the state
and that the printers are under oath
not to divulge the questions. 1t is held
therefore after examining great
many affidavits that there is no foun-
dation for the charge. An opinion of
the attorney general 20 the state
board states that the board does not
have authority to subpoena witnesses
and hear evidence. At the same time
an opinion was rendered that a cam
didate is not limited in the number of
times he can take the examination be-
fore the state board of medical exam
liners but if a candidate. fails to pass
one examination and is not given an
opportunity to take another inside of
three months he can practice without
certificate till he is given the oppor-
tunity.
S. x. Way and Tom Way were in the
city Saturday and were in consultation
for q time with Governor Cummins. Mr..
Tom Way acted as the agent for the
governor in the sale of some land and
this and other business matters brought
them to Des Moines. They denied that
politics had anything to do with their
visit or that it had any political signif-
cance. Concerning the political situa-
ton. Mr.. S. x. Way. who is one of the
most pungent editorial writer's in the
state. and one Of the best posted, says,
that so far as the people of his section
are concerned the only thing that will
satisfy them on the railroad rate ques-
tion is relief. Results are. what they are
after. Mr.. Way expects to see the pres
ent sentiment for doing things prevail
till other needed improvements are
made also. incidentally he says he
thinks the Times-Repulolican the best
daily paper in the state.
Aluminium leaf is beng put on the
dome of the capitol on the inside. 1t is
understood that the intention is to
treat it with raw senaca and glase it in
such manner that it daepens to rich
deep gold color. The contract for the
work, it is claimed, calls for the work
to be done in gold. Whether that
means gold color or gold leaf is a ques-
ton. 1t is claimed that the aluminium
looks like gold and will last as long and
was used on the Minnesota state capi-
tol. But the aluminium is said to cost
several thousand dollars less than the
gold leaf. No one seems to know wheth-
er gold means gold color or gold leaf,
butt it is probable that the members
of the capitol commission are cogniZan!
of what is being done.

ANOTHER MINE DISASTER.
Twenty-three Lives Lost at Wilcox, w

Bluefeld w. Va. Feb. 27.-As a re-
suit of an explosion in shaft NO.
/, of the United States Coal and
Coke Company, at Wilcox, Yesterday
twenty three miners are supposed TO
have lost their lives and it is pos
sible that number will be exceeded.
Up tr p. m., last night fifteen bodies
had peen taken from the shaft. a
large rescuing party is in the mines
1t is barely possible. but not likely,
that some of the entombed miners Will
be rescued alive.
The explosion was of terrific force

great numbers of miners, VINO were
off duty yesterday, being Sunday.
rushed to the shaft to find great cloads
of smoke and dust gushing from It's
mouth Mothers, children and other
relatives soon were weeping and plead
ing for the rescue of their loved ones.
The officials of the mine, including
General Manager Refs, were soon on
the ground and the work Of resculng
the miners is now being directed by
Mr.. Refs.
Inc deau miners 50 As'i :,
are all italians and HungarlanS, ana
have as yet not been identified
The company usually WORKS IN anis
shaft about seventy-fve miners, but
yesterday being Sunday, the men were
not all in and the smell loss of life
can be attributed to this fact.
The United States Coal and Coke
Comany, with principal Offices in
Pittsburg, Pa, is a part of the United
States Steel Corporation. The cause
of the explosion has as yet not been
determined. and since 1t is hardly
probable that any of those in the mine
will be rescued alive the cause OF the
explosion may never be known.

there; and they beseech the throne Of
heaven that the throne of the Ger
man emperor may stand fast in these
great truths which long ago were seal

Hot SPRINGS Loss 100000.

Hot Springs, Ark, Feb. 27.-The first
estimates Of the damage done by the
fire were not exaggerated. More than
forty blocks were eaten away by the
flames and the most conservative esti-
mate places the loss at $1,500,000 and
several insurance men state that figur-
es will reach $2,O00,000. The three un-
known bodies recovered are the only
known fatalities.
The citizens relief committee has
the situation we'll in hand. The amount
subscribed for relief totaled $4,000
last night, but it is being steadily in
creased The committee feels that It
can feed all the homeless. Voluntary
subscriptions from the outside are bS.
ing accepted.
Mayor Closes Saloons.
Several excursion trains arrived here
yesterday bringing visitors from adja-
cent cities and towns to view the ruins.
Mayor Belding ordered all saloons clos-
ed and it was a tight" Sunday in Hot
Springs.
The following statement has been
issued:
"To the Public: The fire-swept area
lies principally in the residence portion
of the city. While the loss is enor.
nous, the principal business portion
of Hot Springs, including the hoteiS
and bath houses, are not affected. Wo
think it proper, therefore, to request
the press to state that our city has
ample accommodations for all who
may desire to visit it for health and
that no advance in rates will be toler-
ated.
GEORGE r. BELDING. Mayor.
That the devastated district will be
speedily rebuilt is evidenced by express
sions heard on all sides. Property
owners are already planning with arr
chitects and in three instances carpen-
ters began work on temporary struc~
lures. !.
