NEW REVENUE CUTTERS
TOBE SPEEDY VESSELS
One to Be Used on Maine Coast and
the Other on Mexi-
can Gulf.

Senior Capt. Howard Emery superin-
tendent of construction and repair of the
revenue cutter service, and his office force
are busy just now completing the plans
for the two new revenue cutters the
thorized by Congress and in preparing
the specification on which shipbuilders of
the country will be requested to submit
bids for the construction of the new ships.
1t is expected that the request for bids
will be sent out some time in this week
and that the ships will be completed
and ready for service in about this time
next year. Officials of the revenue cutter
service. We're very anxious for authority
to build four ships, two for service on the
Atlantic coast and two on the Pacific. but
they are pleased TO get the two ships
which are badly needed to keep the serv-
ice up to its high standard of efficiency in
saving lives and property in distress at
sea. 1t requires good tools to do good
work. and without proper ships with
which to save vessels in trouble in storms
at sea the men of the revenue cutter serv-
ice cannot give effective aid.
The new ships are to be of steel con-
struction and will be modern vessels in
every respect and will be equipped with
every appliance for rescue work. They
are each to be of 800 tons displa cement
1851. feet long over all. thirty-two feet
beam and twenty feet nine inches deep
Their engines are to be of 1000 horse
power and the vessels will both be speedy
One is to be used on the Maine coast as
a successor TO the old wooden hull cutter
Woodbury.. and the other will be sta
toned on the Gulf of Mexico with head
quarters at Mobile, Ala. The cutter de-
signed for service on the Maine coast is
to be exceptionally strong about the bows
and will be SO shaped as to make her an
efficient icebreaker. as much of her duty
in winter will be the rescue of vessels in
peril from drifting ice or frozen up in
harbors where there is danger of the ice
damaging them when a thaw comes. The
names to be given the new ships have
not as yet, 1t is stated, been definitely de-
cided upon.

he did not support Mudd for the con-
gressional nomination they would do SO
anyway. And that recalls an old story:
About a year ago when fractional trou-
bles were threatening to disrupt the re-
publican party in Charles county, Posey
and number of his followers met in
conference with Mudd and some of his
adherents, and an agreement was
reached whereby the impending conflict
was avoided. Under the agreement the
Posey factlon was to be given control
of the state central committee for the
county by placing thereon Posey and
two of his friends. The Posey wing also
was to be allowed to nominate the candi-
dates for county treasurer. sheriff coun-
ty commissioner and Poseys son for
the legislature. The Mudd people were
to be allowed to nominate John F. Mudd
for the state senate and one of their
faction for the lower house. the county
being entitled to two representatives in
the house of delegates. As further
concession. the assertion is made that
the Posey people agreed to support Young
Mudd for the republican congressional
nomination, he having at that time been
an avowed candidate for the position
ever since his defeat for the same honor
year before. 1t is claimed that this
agreement was carried out in full until
this fall. and when il came to support
ing Mudd for Congress Posey showed a
disposition to balk Now his own fol-
lowers it is asserted say that he must
live up to his agreement. or they will
desert him and go over to Mudd any
way, for the reason that Mudd has full
hlled his part of the agreement. and they
are in honor bound to do likewise The
Mudd people point to this as proof of
what they have always contended-that
Mudd did not begin the fight against
the state administration. but that the
state crowd started the fight on him
since he has been a candidate for Con-
gress for two years, and that the adj
ministration crowd knew that he was in
the field.

New Democratic Entrant,

On the democratic side of the fence
a surprise bobbed up with the entry of
a new candidate for the congressional
nomination in the person of Louis T.
Clark. The wise boys of the party as
sert that Clark will not have a look-in
with Johnson and Smith in the running,
but they do concede that the entry of
Clark may bring about a breach within
the party that cannot be healed in the
time intervening between the primary
and the general election, and they fear
that this may result in the republicans
redeeming the district from the demo-
Gratis.

BALTIMORE. Md. June 27-The fifth
district Is going to occupy the spotlight
in the coming congressional primary
campaign. Down in that neck of the
woods the republicans and democrats
alike have plethora of candidates. In
terest here just now is centering on the
fight between Sydney E. Mudd and Oliver
Metzerott, the two republicans being
groomed by their respective friends for
the nomination. Metzerott has the sup
port Of the Goldsborough-Graham wing
of the party. while Mudd is supported by
the followers of Collector Stone The bat

morable one in the history Of the party
Already the Mudd followers are charg-
ing that the governor Is using the in
f1uences at his command to bolster up
the chances of Metzerott. This charge
came on the heels Of the assertion by
some of the governors friends that
"Mudd is making his fight against the
So acute has the situation become that
young Mudd decided to make denial
of the charge. To The Star correspond
ent he made the following statement:
Mudd Makes Statement.
II am sorry that it is being circulated
that 1 am making a canvass in the fifth
district as an anti-state administration
man. This report is absolutely without
foundation, and Is ridiculous and absurd
As the chief executive of the state, Gov.
Goldsborough has become a resident and
a voter Of the fifth. congressional district.
and I realize that he has the right and
must make his personal and political Sc
lection as between the candidacy of Mr..
Metzerott and myself. When I announced
my candidacy in 1872 after the congress
s1onal primary election of that year. and
reiterated in 1914, I started out to get
votes. have made no attack upon or
said anything unkind about anybody. but
have aimed to win the friendship of every
republican element in the fifth district.
1 regret very much that some indiscreet
persons have put out the report that l
am fighting the state administration.
Some of the strongest and ablest support
ers I have. l am glad to say. are men,
not think that they will permit them
selves to be Influenced by this report
These men, it is needless to say, are not
only in sympathy with this adminstra-
strong friends of Gov. Goldsborough. And
every one knows that they would not
become parties to any political plot to
discredit the administration of the repub-
lican executive of this state.
THE prospects of my nomination are
exceptionally bright. I am not a rain
bow chaser. but l believe that 1 will re-
ceive unprecedented majority in the
primary. And, by the way. after l am
nominated l am going to be elected. The
republican party will lineup solidly be-
hind me. and | have a host of demo-
cratic friends who are going to help me
in the general election"
