track, a conflict Of authority between
the Washington and Maryland police
has arisen and some, interesting devel.

The trouble grows out of the allega.
ton that the men were arrested in the
District Of Columbia on the charge OF
violating the Maryland statute, pre-
scribing penalty for persons riding
upon railroad trains without being au.
thorized. The prisoners were brought
before Justice Carr here. and three OF
them pleaded guilty to the charge and
were sentenced to the Maryland House
Of Correction. The justice explains
that he supposed the prisoners had
been arrested in Prince Georges coun.
ty, as he had frequently warned off.
GERS not to bring persons before him
who have been arrested without his

men" declared Justice Carr this morn.

writ Of habeas corpus or a pardon by

Michael Kenny, who was charged
with interfering with an officer, was
tried yesterday by Justice Carr and
released. 1t was charged that Weber
was shot in the hand by one Of the de.
tectfVes, and because Kenny criticised
the officer for firing the shot he was
arrested. TIE detectives deny that
any shot was fired by them.
The Washington police asked for a
warrant charging the detectives with
kidnapping, but 1t was refused. A
warrant was, however. issued charging
Detective Wilson with dischareipg
