ALEXANDRIA. Va, March %, 1910.
Frederick Mertens. jr.. general passen-
ger agent of the Mount Vernon and Mar
shall Hall Steamboat Company, was ac-
quilted in the police court this morning
on charge Of guiding tourists in the
city without license.
The case was heard shortly after 0
o'clock and Mr.. Mertens was represented
by Attorney j. Randall Cation. He ex-
planned that he was guiding a party of
tourists around the points of interest in
the city as matter of courtesy and was
not receiving compensation for his work.
The court in acquitting Mr.. Mertens
held that the law provides that no per-
son shall guide, where compensation is
received. without the payment of a Ii
cense fee Of S. per year. 1t was further
explained by the court that the object of
this ordinance is to get rid of the horde
Of boys who in former years accosted
people. much to their annoyance. and
begged them for money.
1t was further stated by the court that
1t was within the province of a railway
conductor from the street cars to en-
gage In the business If he SO desired.
Mr.. MertenS was arrested about 3
O'Clock yesterday afternoon by Policeman
Roberts at the instance Of Lieut. Smith,
who believed the law was being violated.
Mr.. Mertens at the time had in charge
a party Of tourists numbering about fifty.
He did not at first place the collateral
bail required and for few minutes was
held in the detention room up stairs at
headquarters. Shortly thereafter Attor-
ney j. r. Cation became his surety and
he was released and continued with
his party.
