yania avenue in Washington of the sta
zion of the Washington, Alexandria and

sioners, yesterday, Mr.. Leo P. Harlow,

station anywhere south of Pennsylvania
avenue" declared Mr.. Harlow, in his
appeal to Commissioner mcfarland.

sent reasons in support of this request,
and IL o'clock Friday morning was nix
ed upon. Mr.. Harlow said TIE people
