IMPORTANT RULING,
Nothing But Money Can Be Received
for Transportation.

Washington. Sept. 1S.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission today rendered
a most important decision in the mat
ter of the applications from various
railroads, giving administrative con-
struction to certain provisions Of the
new railroad rate laws. Briefly they
hold that with regard to payments for
transportation nothing but money can
be legally received. With regard to
notices of changes in rates the joint
rate between two or more connecting
carriers is held to be the legal rate and
and change requires 30 days notice.
With regard to rOund-trIp excursion
rates the commission makes three rul-
ings. the most important being that
these may be changed at one days
