Theodore \. Vail, president OF the

in which he says that his company has
nothing to fear, that the Attorney Gen.

pan!es, notably one at Detroit, and in
conclusion. Mr.. Vail intimates that the
whole telephone situation IL none Of the
Attorney Generals business, anyhow,
and that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has supervision enough for the
general good.
II believe" says Mr.. Vail. that the
Attorney General has found that the
public does not want two systems and
we hope that fuller appreciation OF this
fact will lead him to leave the question
entirely with State and Interstate Com.
mission. where the matter belongs, and
where IL is bound to go anyway.
Last year the Interstate Commerce
Commission assumed jurisdiction by ex-
press authority of Congress over the

WASHINGTON TINES BUREAU.

ALEXANDRIA. VA, JAN. II.
That Alexandria has received a severe
setback. from which 1t will take sew
Cral years TO recover. is the opinion of
the business men and officials of the
city after hearing the decision rendered
by Judge Bennett T. Gordon at Alex
andria county court house yesterday,
when he decided the annexation case
against the city.
Judge Gordon's decision came as a
complete surprise, for even the bitter
est opponents of the annexation move
ment believed that at least a portion of
the territory asked for would be grant
ed. The Union station, West End and
Rosemont depend entirely on Alexan-
dria for fire and police protection and
also secure their gas, water and cleo
tricity from the city's plants. Practic-
ally all of the residents of the two sub
urbs are former Alexandrians who have
moved from within the city limits. as
they were unable to purchase property
in town upon which they could erect
modern residences.
No decision has been reached by the
officials of the city as TO their future
plans in the case. Under the law the
CITY has the right to appeal the case
to the supreme court of Virginia, and
steps in this direction were taken yes,
terday, when Judge Gordon granted
its attorneys thirty days time in which
TO formulate the appeal.
One of the most serious results OF
Judge Gordon's decision will be the de-
lay in the erection of the new h1gh

members of the city council and the
school board that they would secure
