Gordon X-ongor Doubt the Fifth Maryland lilt,- trlct MuuV. PatriotifeUi. Congreshinan Sidney E. Mudd, of Iie Fifth district of Marjland, has proved himself the political magician of the Kast. It hus been learned beyond any contra diction that he has succeeded invo pacify ing Ijis opponents that now home of the bitterest have announced themselves :s in line with the Charles county Reprcsentaii ,-e. The latebt acquisition to the Mudd Sena torial forces is Capt. Totter, of Laurel district. The two captains (Capt. Potter and Capt. Gordon) have been persistent enemies of Mr. Mudd. They have worked day and night against hl6 aspirnticuh. They together organized anti-Mudd clubs iu their respective districts and openly announced that if Congressman Mudd ascended to the Senatorial seat it would be over their political corpses Capt. Totter made no secret of the fact that- liis opposition was the result of in quiries concerning Mr. Mudd's patriotism. The latter was charged with being in fa vor of sectarian appropriations and not poiticularlyhtr.jng enough against Uieuniiy of church aud i-tate. Capt. Gordon char-ic-terir.ed the Mudd element as nothing but political heelers. It was these same men that unseated Gordon, delegates at the county convention held last year to nomi nate a candidate for Congress. The M'idd men won. His opponents refusedtolinj up. They began an organised opposition, whish was carried into the election, but failed to accomplish its purpose. As early as last January plans wore laid to secure the selection of Mudd mem bers of the legislature, which will have the choosing of a United States Senator. The anti-Muddites discovered this sghemo and devised one of their own to frustrate the Congressman. They began by organizing a Republican club at Bladensburg, which was decidedly against Mr. Mudd Its pro moters were ex-Congressman Coffin, Capt. O. C. Gordon and Capt. Totter.

Capt. rotter's friends would not believe flat he had changed his course, but it can be asscited positively that he Las. lie Him self is the authority for the statement. "I am satisfied with Mr. Mudd'p Ameri canism," he declared, yesterday. "We have settled all differences that may haveeMsted in thr past, and I shall support Mr Muddfor the United Ptatcs Senate. "My party demands this of me. I be lieve Mr Mudd will vote against s'ectarian appropriations, and I do not doubt that he is thoioughly patriotic. If I want to vote for Mr. Mudd I do not see that it is any body's business but my own. lam wellable to determine whether or not I am voting against my principles." Thus did Capt Potter declare himself. On the other hand Gapt. Gordon has an nounced that he is not opposed to Mr. Mudd, He does not desire to be known Inthatlight. Meauwliile the followers of these gen tlemen are 0 1 sea. They do not know how to take their leaders, and many r-till doubt the bincerity of the change. It will not be long now before the county pri maries will be held, and delegates to the county convention belectcd. If they are of the right political complexion, there s no doubt that the proper men will be nominated to go to the legislature. All of this Is taking place in the Re publican pai ty.

Tbe supreme councilor the American Tro-tecth-c Ast-ociation has concluded Us tes sion and adjourned sine die. The most im portant -work transacted was the con sideration of the report of the com mittee ou constitution and by-laws. There wus a warm discussion over a recommendation to extend the term of office of the president from one to two years, and resulted finally In the defeat of the proposition. Another one coming fiom the same committee, proposing to increase the supreme president's salary from $2,300 to $3,000, was adopted. The salary of the supreme secretary was also increased from $1,500 to $2,000 per annum. A new system of representation has been decided upon by the supreme council. Here after delegates will not be sent to represent each 2,000 members, but so inuuy delegates will be allowed to come from each Congres sional district In the States. In the District of Columbia triere will be one delegate for each local council. The American Trotectivc Association did not take any action on the resolution against Tcrrence V. Powderly. The later is a candidate for Commissioner of Labor and early in the week a delegate fiom the Eastern section of the country offered a resolution declaring it the sentiment or the order that Powderly should not be given the appointment. This resolution never came before the council for a vote, but was dis cussed somewhat at length at the time it was offeieJ. It developed that Towdurly is being fought by certain labor organizations and that the resolution would line the A. T. A. with certain associations. This was cot deemed udvlsable as the order desired particularly to refrain from becoming In volved In a labor contest. It was not certain that Tdwderly's opponents outsido of the A. P. A- were any more agreeable to the order than he is, and therefore it was decided to let the resolution stay buried in the committee to which It was apnt.

BICYCLE OFFICER AT WORK IVoman Counterfeit "Shover" Elnde.s All Kfforts, nt Ciinture Her He fcpectuble Appeuinnco 3Inkes Po licemen Hesitate Aliirmed 11 1 the Search mid Glide Quietly Away. It develops that the pretty young woman In bliclc who has licen promiscuously pac ing counterfeit quarters on street car con ductors, as told in yesterday morning s Times, had several narrow escapes from capture by the police Friday afternoon. The first intimation Inspector Ho'.lin berger had of the woman's whereabouts was when a joung man, who had been following her about on his bicycle, called at police headquarters and informed him that tire female counterfeit "shover" wab at the city postofflce. Hetectlve Sergt. Johnson at once went to the postofhee with ihe wheelman, but upon arriving theie he found thntfche had gone over to Ninth street and boarded an electric car. The sergeant at once started the wheel man after the car, while he, with Supt Badendrier, of the Metropolitan road, took another car and proceeded to the wharf, believing that the woman might take a ferryboat for Alexandria. In tbib, how ever, they were mistaken. The wheelman overtook the car and 'n formed the conductor the woman was a countetfeitcr. He also requested him not to allow her to leave the car, but carry her to the company's office, at the foot of Four-and-a-half street. Accoidingly when bho touched the electric button to stop the train at a point in South Washing ton, the conductor bluntly said: 'Ton can't get off, miss; thisisa through train and don't make any stops." The woman was accordingly taken to the company's office and interrogated She proved to be a plausible talker and was al lowed to depart. Had the railroad au thorities at that, time sent for Uie police the daangerous woman, who has proved to be as elusive as a flea, would hao been behind the bars instead of wander'ng around seemingly at her own swept will. The railroad orficiuls, however. Instruct ed the man on the bicycle to follow the car the woman had boaided in the meantime The conductor was ordered also to turn her over to the first policeman he saw. When the Sixth street depot was reached the conductor slopped his train and requested Tolicenian Lamb, who is stationed there, to arrest the woman. That officer replteil thar there was n patrolman stationed at the Ninth and F streets Junction, and suggested that she be turned over to him. The woman, however, alighted from the car when it made its regular stop at Penn sylvania and Ninth street and escaped in the throngs on that thoroughfaie. The wheelman kept the counterfeiter jn sight and followed her to the Baltimore and Ohio depot. She had by that time con cluded thatniatterswere becomingentirely too warm for her here, and decided to leave the city forthwith. While she was purchasing a ticket for Baltimore the bi cycle spotter approached Policeman Har low, who ltf stationed at the depot, and informed him that the woman was a coun terfeiter, requesting hlni to place her t.n der arrest. The respectable appcaranceof the woman perhaps awed the officer, for he declined -to arrest her without orders from hU ml penor officers or a. warrant. He could not, he added, take the woman Into custody oil the mere say so of a stranger. In the meantime the woman hadpurch.i.s ed her ticket and boarded the BalMm-irc train, much to the chagrin or the amateur bicycle detective. The police have learned that the woinm passed fully 100 counterfeit quarters in this city, principally on the street car H110N All the information la the itos- session of Inspector Holllnberger has been Shoes Shined Free E always announce on Sundays our bargain "feast" for the week that is, for as far in the week as the lots hold out. .
