ALEXANDRIA, Va. March rs, 1913.
Cases of disorder which hereafter
occur at the union passenger railway
station may have to be tried in Fair
fax county, according to decision
given today by Police Justice Cation.
The case in question was that of a
colored woman named Mary Simms,
arrested by Special officer Norris at
the station last night.
When her case was called Justice
Cation declared that the local authori-
ties were not interested in the case,
inasmuch as the railway station is To-
Gated in Fairfax county.
In view of the foregoing decision, it
is expected the railway officials will
arrange hereafter to have all cases Of
disorder that may occur at the rail-
way station tried by the authorities
of Fairfax.
