FAR REACHING EFFECT
WS becixoa by iAe Interstate (sa-
atrCe (eanixNaa.

Washington. April ga far
reaching decision aas rendered yes
terday hy the interstate commerce
commission respecting party rate
tickets" Various railroads OF the
county have been proceeding on the
theory that such tickets applied only
TO theatrical or amusement compan-
les. The commission. however. says
transportation of such amusement
companies on party rate tickets
would be similar to transportation
where the same number OF persons
not belonging 10 such companies of
fered to travel, and that therefore
the tickets must be open TO the use
OF the general public.
The majority opinion OF the com
mission was rendered by Commits
sioner Prouty, Chairman Knapp and
Commissioner Harlan dissenting
A large number OF carriers have
filed tariffs concerning the use of
these tickets to amusement compan-
les. and the commission was inform
ed that there is an impression aris-
ing out Of the silence OF the commits
sion on this subject that the com
mission had finally concluded such
tickets mignt be thus limited. Before
taking steps to bring the matter be-
fore the courts for determination the
commission sees proper to state the
contrary view and to indicate in this
decision the reason upon which 1t
bases its conclusions.
After reviewing several court de-
cisions it was found that the eircum-
stances and conditions mentioned in
the second section of the act to reg
ulate commerce refer to the carriage
itself and that the transportation of
such amusement companies on party
rate tickets would be similar trans
portaton where the same number of
persons not belonging to such COM
panies offered to travel
| ''It will be seen," says the commits
sion, that under the holding OF
both our own and the English courts
I section prescribes a rigid rule OF
action. II the circumstances and con
ditfons of the carriage itself are tn
same the charge must be the same
We are unable to see how the cal
riage of ten persons belonging TO a
amusement company as party d11
fers from the carriage of ten othe
persons as a party in the same tran
at the same time and between tn
same points, and we therefore are o
the opinion that the party rate ucke
must be open to the general pubic
This is not case in which an or
der can be made. We simply state II
answer to very many inquiries IRON
| interested carriers what our lnterpre
tation of the law will be. II that In
terpretation is not accepted ny the
railroads we shall at once proceed te
bring the question before the courts
where it can alone be authorltatlVely

Information was received at the
sheriff's office this morning of ia
tai shooting which occurred about
one mile south of India late yester-
