Investigating Committee.

Denver, Jan. THE committee ap-
pointed by the joint meeting of House
and Senate of the Fifteenth General
Assembly to examine the vote for gov
ernor of the state, as cast at the last
November election, met yesterday
afternoon and again at night.
The investigating committee issued
subpoenaes on the Denver election
commissioners to appear with the reg
istration books and ballot boxes, but
Members Graves and Soetje refused to
comply and sent a reply that they did
not consider the investigating commit
tee legally organized body. and that
| as legally constituted body, they re-
| fused to appear. They further held
| that the ballot boxes were being held
, subject to examination by the Supreme
Court and could not be turned over to
| this committee.
Three subcommittee of Ave each had
| been appointed to examine the ballots
and registration books, while the en-.
tire fifteen were to listen 20 the evi
dence.
Attorneys Willis V. Elliott and II. ]
Hersey appeared on behalf of the pro
testant, Governor Peabody, and T. j
w
resented Governor Adams, but later
withdrew. Attorney George w. Dunk
| lee appeared on behalf of the ma
| jority of the election commission.
Secretary Dorsey of the election
commission was the first witness
called. BY him the Republicans
learned the total registration in the
city of Denvep for the last election
and then they submitted their checks
on this registration.
According to voluminous affldavits
they had, there were $500 fraudulent
names on the list, and they asked that
all of this number be taken from the
majority of Governor Adams, as it was
/ reasonable to suppose, they held, thai
these names had been voted.
When Mr.. Riddle was called and ex
amined by Attorney Elliott he pre-
| sented computation of the fraudu
lent vote, which he estimated at about
$500, with total fraudulent registra
| ton of about $4,000.
The Democratic members of the
committee, Messrs. Webster, Ballinger
A H. Davis and Fred S. Bolsinger
presented a formal protest against
the alleged committee of the alleged
| joint assembly proceeding with the
transaction of any business whatso
ever. for the reason that the said joint
assembly Is prohibited by the consti
tuition from doing any business what
| soever until the returns of the late
election have been opened and pub
| lished and the result of said election
declared, and further because there is
no power in a joint assembly to ap
| point a committee for the purposes fol
| which this said committee has beer
| appointed. and further because the
| Legislature at the time of the appoint
ment of this committee was not in
joint assembly. and because the said

left without his prisoner. The whole
matter took only n few seconds, faS
less than the time II takes to tail
about 1t.
The chair was sustained by a vote
Of 40 to G. showing also that quorum
was present. Mr.. Street raised tho
question of no quorum. but tho
speaker ruled against him. the vote
just cast having shown more than
fifty members present.
Mr.. Griffith sent to the desk the prot
test of Governor Peabody against thd
counting of the Denver county vote!
and with 1t a resolution calling upon
the presiding officer of the joint assent
bly, to appoint committee of five sem
ators and ten representatives to cam
vass the vote on governor.
AS the clerk began to read the pro;
test Mr.. Frewen rose to point of or
der. saying that IL 1t was joint ses,
sion, which he denied. it was for the
purpose of canvassing the vote and
not for the purpose of listening to pro-
tests. The speaker ruled against tho
point of order. Again Mr.. Frewen in.
terrupted the reading with the same
protest, but the speaker instructed the
clerk to go on with the reading. rel
gardless of protests. But Mr.. Frewen
was so persistent with his demand to
be heard on his point of order that
the speaker recognized him, to rule
against him again.
After considerable discussion tho
motion to appoint committee OF five
senators and ten representatives to
canvass the vote for governor was car
ried by majority of 81 to 1.

Senator Campbell said 1t was under

canvass of the vote to 0 o'clock, and
then adjourn SO that the Senate could
take up the Supreme Court appoint

There was another call of the House
to bring in the absent members. as tha

Wilder were brought in and the ser
geants-atarms were told to go out and

There was some spirited campaign
ing during the search for the absen,
members. 1t was said by some of tho
members that the word had gone
along the line at z o'clock that the
joint session should adjourn at s

The call of the House was sus

motion for a recess. 1t was generally
known that it was mistaken under

Joint Legislative Session.

Denver, Jan. S-Shortly before p.
M. yesterday Lieutenant Governor
Haggot called the joint convention to
order. BY his side was Speaker Dick
son of the House. The lieutenant gov
ernor directed the call of the roll of
the Senate. All the senators answered
to their names. All of the representa-
tives were present except White and
Johnson.
The lieutenant governor then an
nounced that the purpose of the joint
convention was for opening and can
vassing the vote.
Speaker Dickson then took the chair
manship and Griffith. Ell Paso and Tel
Ter, moved reconsideration of the reso-
luton of Friday, whereby the commit
tee of fifteen to investigate the cleo
tion in Denver county was brought
into existence. Frewen, Teller and Ell
Paso, seconded the motion and it was
carried without dissent.
Breckenridge, Rio Grande, moved to
table tne resolution of Friday. and that
motion was promptly seconded and
carried, thus putting an end to the eN-
istence of the special investigation
committee of the Dickson joint ses-
sion.
At 6:50 Secretary of State Cowie
and a clerk brought in the tin case con.
tanning the certified returns.
The experts employed by the state
at once sharpened their pencils for the
work in hand and SO did Colonel kim
ball, Colonel Bloom and Colonel Gross
of Governor Peabody's staff, and Rich
ard Holmes, color bearer of the First
Colorado in the Philippines, who were
there to check up the vote for the gov
ernor.
The count proceeded without a break
for nearly three hours. Senators and
representatives walked in pairs and
triplets and went to hotels and restau-
rants for dinner. Apparently there was
to be no excitement during the can
vass of the vote. However, one came
very unexpectedly and came within a
| hair-breadth of catching the dealers"

At 9:45 Breckenridge, Rio Grande,

ton. On demand there was a call of

Denver. Jan. Sat a joint session
O'Clock last night Alva Adams was de-
clared governor-elect of Colorado He
will be inaugurated next Tuesday and
is now engaged in preparing his mes
sage.
This result is said to have been
brought about by an agreement be-
tween the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, the latter being assisted by
enough anti-Peabody Republicans to
give them control of the Senate and
the ability to block the appointment of
Supreme Court judges.
1t is understood that Governor Pea
body will Immediately file contest for
the Office Of governor, which is ex-
pected to result in the appointment of
a special committee to make an inves-
tigation of the Denver elections and
probably the elections in several
other counties in the state.
In the afternoon, before the canvass
by the joint session, Governor Pea
body sent to the Senate for confirma-
ton as justices of the reorganized SUI
preme Court the names of Luther NJ.
Goddard of Denver and George NJ. Bal
ley of Fort Collins.
These appointments were consld-
cred by the Senate both before and
after the joint session, but have not
yet been confirmed.
Following is the result OF the can
vass of the vote for state officers as
declared by the assembly in joint ses-
sion:
