EXTRA CHARGES TO BE RETURNED.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, in an opinion by Chairman Cooley,
has decided the case of Major ]. P.
Sanger against the Southern Pacific
Company, lessee of the Central Pacific
Railroad and the Union Pacific, Railway
Company. The compla ainant, who is
Inspector General of the United States
Army, having been ordered from San
Francisco to Leavenworth, desired to
purchase transportation for his family to
Fort Leavenworth and to New York
city. 1t appears that he misapprehended
the statements made to him by the agent
at San Francisco, and understood that he
must buy tickets to Ogden, and there OBJ
tain of the Union Pacific agent other
tickets for the balance of the respective
journeys, and, also, that through tickets
would not be sold to him. The Commits
sion finds that the agents of the railway
companies acted with entire good faith
and without intention to defraud or mis-
lead; that the complainant would have
purchased through tickets 4 had
he known he could obtain them,
or that a greater price would be
charged if he did not do 30.
The Commission holds that the misap-
prehension under which the party has
paid for one journey in two sections,
whereby the cost of transportation has
been made more than it would have
been, had through tickets been pur-
chased, may lawfully be corrected by a
return of the excess, though the carriers
were without fault, and only charged, for
each portion of the journey, the regular
rates and it recommends that the car.
riera restore to the complainant the sum
paid in excess of the through fares.
