SUB-CO NJ TEE
FOR GuDCER
Unanimous Report in Fa-
vor Democratic Sit
ting Member.
Especial to News and observer.)

Washington, d. c., Feb. "a sub-cOm-
mittee of the House Committee on Elec-
tions No. /, composed of Bate and Young,
Republicans, and James, Democrat, today
made a unanimous report to the full COM
mittee deciding the Moody-Gudger contest
from North Carolina in favor of Gudger,
the Democratic sitting member.
This decision is in accord with predic-
tions made ever since the case was argued.
The contest was founded on general
charges of fraud, few if any of which were
proven, but on which the contestant asked
that the vote of whole counties be thrown
out The case was of particular interest,
also in that it was carried on after j. NJ.
Moody the contestant, died. The cleo
ton was close, Gudger receiving 12,7O0
votes to 12,517 for Moody.
After Mr.. Moody's death the contest
was carried on by two Ashevile lawyers,
Thomas Settle and V. S. Lusk, in the
hope that the seat might be declared va
cant. Then they would have had a chance
to elect member Of the party, as a new
election would have had to be called.

D|DHEHARB0RHER?
Patrol Man Suspended
While Grave Charges
are Investigated.
Especial to News and Observer.)

Asheville, N. c., Feb. 5.-There was
considerable stir in police circles this
morning when it became known that a
patrolman had been suspended charged
with conduct unbecoming an officer in
connection with married woman of this
city. The charge is that the officer har-
bored the woman after he had been asked
10 aid the husband in finding her. This,
the patrolman denies, saying that the
woman had come to him for protection,
and that he was guilty of the charge
Awaiting an investigation which will be
held tomorrow morning, the chairman of
tho police committee ordered that the
officer be suspended and that he be given
time to secure evidence as to his limo
cence At the investigation it is expected
that testimony of a rather sensational
nature will be introduced. and the police
committee will probe to the bottom of the
affair.

new LOFTY RECORDS.
These Were Attained and Then Lost
by Cotton and Coffee. The Rapid
Fall OF Cotton Makes Buyers
Hesitate in Placing
Ordsrs.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Feb. 5.--R. G.. Dun & Com
pany's weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Sensational fluctuations in the great
staples were the features of the week,
cotton and coffee attaining new high rec
ords for the season, but subsequently de-
cining sharply, while grain advanced.
Trade reports are irregular, improve
mcnt at the South and West finding little
response at the large Eastern cities. Per-
sistent low temperature is providing good
demand for heavy wearing apparel and
increasing the difficulties of transporta-
ton. Spring buyers are arriving in large
numbers. with noteworthy eagerness to
secure cotton goods even at the enhanced
prices.
Railway earnings for January averaged
seven per cent larger than in 1903.
Just when buyers of cotton goods were
beginning to exhibit pronounced dispo-
sition to place more liberal orders the
collapse in the raw material produced
hesitation. Consumers have reduced sup
plies in the hands of dealers to a point
that necessitates replenishing and the in
quiries for prompt shipment were expand
ing. but it is natural that the market
should become uncertain when the prices
for goods are very high and raw cotton
declines s6 a bale in a single day. Not
withstanding this interruption, better
trade is in progress, and it is recognized
that goods were by no means on a parity
With raw material at its zenith.
Commercial failures this week are 246.
