COMPROMISE REJECTED.
Leaders Of Warning Mudd Factions
Said to Have Been Placatsd.

Said to Have Been P1acatsd.
Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
LAUREL, Nd. August 49, 1903.
AS a result of the Mudd republican con-
vention held yesterday at Upper Marlboro
the county seat Of Prince Georges. there
Is a feeling that the trouble that has ex-
listed for some time between the two Mudd
factions in the tenth or Laurel election
district of the county, has been effecMally
cleared up. By the arrangements made
yesterday Mr.. Charles F. Shaffer, jr., the
postmaster for Laurel during the past
term, and who desired reappointment to
the position, has been put on the ticket
for county treasurer. Mr.. G. B. Timanus,
mayor of this town. an aspirant to the
position. has, 1t is stated. the assurance Of
appointment as postmaster.
The primary fight on Saturday last was
contested to a considerable extent for con-
troll Of the delegation to the convention.
1t being understood that the man Of the
Mudd factions securing the delegation
would undoubtedly get the post Office. By
thus providing places for the leaders OF
the two factions 1t Is thought the strain
which threatened to disrupt the party to
great extent in this district has been re-
ueved.

PLANS FOR RAILROADS
NEW LINES PROJECTED FOR THE
PHILIPPINES.
Aid to Be Given by the Government
System Will Prove Of Benefit
to the Islands.

Plans are being made for at least 600
miles Of new railroads in the Philippines,
Secretary Root having been for some time
in correspondence with Governor Taft on
the subject. One Of the lines projected will
extend from Manila to the northern end of
the Island Of Luzon and another will cross
this line east and west across the noun
tain range. Still another will extend from
Manila to Batangas, on the south. and a
line Is thought of from Dagupan. in Luzon,
along the coast to the north end of the
island.
1t is a part of the propositions that the
aid of the Philippine government be ex-
tended in the proposed construction, and
1t is believed that If the interest on the
cost Of the roads Is guaranteed in the
event that they do not prove at first pay
ing venture will be sufficient to induce
capitalists to invest. Rights Of way can
be granted by the Philippine government
and though it has not the power to make
grants of lands, 1t has the authority to
guarantee the interest on the bonds the
interest, II paid, to constitute a lien on the
property
Of Great Benefit to Islands.
1t is believed that the building OF this
system of lines would be of immense bene-
fit to the islands and prove the means of
preventing any possible insurrection in
Luzon. The roads would be used for police
patrol and more territory could thus be
covered than by a regiment of soldiers
Wherever railroads have been built in
provinces there has been a dearth of insur-
rection. and it is the opinion of the Secre-
tary that this will follow in the Philip
pines.
Short lines are also contemplated in Min
danao but they are not held in the same
scale or Importance as the ones for Luzon
the larger island. The claim of the Manila
and Dagupan railroad against the United
States for damages by the insurgents since
the date OF the treaty of Paris is being
considered by the Secretary of War and
Governor Taft, and the plan of settlement
onered has been declined by Secretary
Root. This action was taken because Of
a clause IN the charter of the road that
IT Shall become the property of the gov
eminent at the end Of fifty years. and one
OF the articles in the settlement agreement
was that the government should rehnquish
this claim.

VIOLATED PURE FOOD Law.
Edward Thomas Fined $50 by Polic'
Court Judge.

Edward Thomas Fined $40 by Police
Court Judge.
Edward Thomas, a fish dealer In business
on Water street, in South Washington. was
convicted in the District branch Of the Po-
lice Court today on a charge of violating
the food law. He paid a fine of so i'm
posed on him by Judge Bundy.
The prosecution was brought at the in
stance Of the health department, but one
Of the departments inspectors. Gwynne
Harris took an opposite view to the health
Office officials and testified for the defense.
The direct charge on which Thomas was
arraigned and convicted was that certain
fish in his possession the 14th instant were
not fresh and sound and fit for food The
evidence introduced by the government was
that 8. M. Stern Of TIT Az street purchased
a bunch of fish from the defendant which
he declared were not fit for food. Stern, 1t
was stated, returned the fish with the state
ment that they were bad Gwynne Harris,
District fish inspector. was called on to
pass upon the fish and he declaredin court
today that they were eatable although he
admitted that he arrived at that conclusion
not by touching them, but simply by seeing
them.
Witnesses for the government described
the fish as being possessed of a very disa-
greeable odor. The defense admitted that
while 1t was natural for the odor to be dis
agreeable 1t did not in any way affect the
meat Of the fish The court. however.
thought otherwise and decided against
Thomas.
