Rock Creek.
Despite the fact that the case against the
officials of the Washington, Arlington and
Falls Church electric railway was contin-
ued in the Police Court yesterday, the po-
lice of this precinct are not taking any
chances of a further attempt to place
tracks on the Aqueduct bridge. The i'm
preston seems to prevail that the railroad
people will make the effort to place the
tracks at the first most favorable opportu-
nifty. Last evening a policeman was de-
tailed for duty on the bridge, and IL is like
ly that this vigil will be kept up for some
time. The policeman is given strict orders
how to proceed. and IL the railroad makes
any attempt in the near future to lay the
tracks it will most likely be frustrated.

The Aspirants In Prince Georxess
County Keep 1t Boiling.
Interest Iii Prince Georges county pol
! ftics is now about at its height, and there
! Is every indication that the coming cam
paign will be the bitterest ever known in
| the history of the county. The democrats
base great hopes upon the discord which
new exists in the republican ranks. and as
a result there is a large number of can6i-
dates in the field. The republicans are
| none the less confident of success, alleging
that before election day all party differ
ences will be healed
Old politicians, however. democrats and
republicans alike. shake their heads when
asked for their prediction as to the result
or the election, and preserve a discreet
silencs. Much stress is placed upon the
nominations which the democrats will
make at their convention, which meets
next Tuesday at Upper Marlboro. At this
convention will be named one candidate
for state senator, three members of the
house of dele gates. one clerk of the cir
cult court, sheriff, one county commission
Ell and a surveyor.
For these positions, as has already been
stated, there are many aspirants. William
d. Bowie of Queen Anne district Is max.
ing strenuous efforts to receive the nom-
ination for the state senatorship. Mr..
Bowie is the incumbent of office, and it
is understood his friends will strain every
nerve 10 return MIN.
Prominent also for this position are Jere-
m.ah Berry of Queen Anne and VIM. Is.
Clagett of Marlboro, an ex-inspector of to-
bacco. Each of these gentlemen will. put
up a good fight, and it is exceedingly
doubtful which of the three will obtain
the nomination.
There Is a score or more of candidates
for the house of delegates, among them
Dent Downing of Aquasco and Robinson
White of Kent, who are most prominently
mentioned.
For clerk of the court there are Ellery
F. Coffin of Evansville district, son of for
mer Representative Charles E. Coffin. and.
as has been lately announced, DR.. l.. "A.
Griffith of Marlboro district and Arthur
Carr of Bladensburg district.
George w. Coldenstroth of BladensblrS
district wishes to be county commissioner,
and the Bladensburg delegation goes to
the convention pledged to support him.
His opponents are Henry Haker of Bowie
district and John s. Rowlings of Noting
ham district.
The most prominent candidates for sher-
if are ex-Sheriff George 8. Dove of MARI
bcro' district and B. Frank Robey of
Laurel district. Mr.. Robey, however, seems
to be in the lead.
c. Bellopp of Bowie district. Roderick
McGregor of Marlboro district and Thos.
Latimer, the incumbent of the office, are
being urged for the suryeyOrShfp.
There are many others, and 1t Is prob
able that before the convention adtourns
On Tuesday some startling surprises will
be sprung.

four minutes later he was on his way to

become bondsinan for him i'm the sum of
s. 500.
A. L. Sinclair appeared as counsel for
Hawkins. After the Information charging
the prisoner with the larceny of sS.GSo from
Tax Collector Davis was read by Clerk
Potts, Hawkins was asked how he pleaded.
Hawkins, who remained in the dock, an
swered in low tone Guilty
Judge kimball asked Prosecutor Mullow
ney how much bond he wanted.
Mr.. Mullowney said he thought it ought
to be 5000.
Mr.. Sinclair called his honor's attention
to the fact that Hawkins voluntarily re-
turned to Washington, but the court said
he returned after he had been arrested
and the money he had in his possession at
the time had been taken from him. Mr.
Mullowney again named 5000 as proper
bond.
Mr.. Sinclair interposed: Your honor,
that is a very large bond

Mr.. Sinclair again appealed to Judge Kim

bond, and the Judge replied that in view of
the fact that the greater portion of the
money taken had been recovered he would
reduce the sum of the bond to $3.50. Haw-

When the collector arrived Hawkins did
not seem to be moved. He did not think
it would be proper to shake hands with
his former friend, and for some moments
refused to talk. Gradually, however, he
unbosomed himself. but he lied throughout,
as The Stars dispatches stated Tuesday.
The party left the Jail with Hawkins
still undecided as to what course he would
pursue. The next day he was brought into
court to plead. The crowns attorney stat

he had in mind the preparation of one
charging him with bringing stolen goods
into the dominion. This charge would not
be brought II the prisoner consented to re-

not fight the extradition. Hawkins coun-
