RAILROADS MAY EXTEND
TIME OF THEIR TICKETS.
Interstate Commerce Commission Recon-
siders Its Former Ruling on This
Particular Subject.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Several
months ago an administrative ruling
was made by the Interstate Commerce
Commission providing that limited pas
senger tickets should not be extended,
even in case of the illness Of a pas
senger holding such a ticket. Several
Western lines, by advice of their coun-
sci, decided to ignore the ruling of the
commission, holding that it was lawful
for them to extend the time of such
tickets in the event of the illness of
the holder or other serious emergency.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the commission by other
lines with the view to obtaining q for
NAL ruling on the subject. BY a ruling
issued by the commission today the
original administrative ruling is super
seeded.
The rule provides that carriers may
extend limited passenger tickets in
case of the illness OF the passenger
holding such ticket. The commission
says: "This rule must be applied strict
ly and in good faith, and upon the car
ries is placed the responsibility of
street conformity thereto. Only such
illness as makes travel dangerous to
the health of the traveller win justify
the extension.
1.-THE extension may also be granted
to one or more members of the family
OF the passenger who is i'll when trav-
cling together, and to persons who are
subject to an established quarantine.
Stop-over privileges for a limited time
may be granted for the same causes
and under the same conditions and
restrictions as justify extension Of time
on limited tickets

FINES FOR BAD
SCH00LB0YS EFFECTIVE.
Instead of Furnishing Them, Principals
in. Third Precinct Now Complain
to Police,

1t Is becoming the rule for principals in
charge of schools in the Third Police Pre-
cinct to refrain from furnishing uncon-
trollable pupils. Instead, when they have
trouble with a boy now, they call in the
police and enter a charge of disorderly
conduct against the troublesome lad. This
method, 1t Is thought, is a great deal more
effective than the old way and brings
about a quick reform.
Nick Saldo, of the South Street School,
was fined sic yesterday for playing trough
house In school, he principal being the
complainant.
Matthew Duke, of 10 Madison street. was
fined a similar amount today for doing the
same thing in the Lafayette Street School.
w. F.. Heinken was the complaining prin-
cipal. Young Duke was cutting "didoes''
yesterday afternoon and refused to obey
orders to behave himself.

MAURITANIA ENCOUNTERS
VERY BAD WEATHER.
Her Total First Days Run Was Only
571 Knots, Is Report by
Wireless Message

LONDON, Nov. 20.-A wireless message
from Sir Clifton Robinson, who is a pas
senger aboard the new Cunard liner Maure-
tania, shows that her speed has been great
~ lessened by bad conditions.
He reports that the vessels first full
days run was only 51 knots. The weather
was unfavorable for high speed, AS the
Mauretania was running in a strong SOUTH
west gale and was meeting fairly heavy
seas.
The Cunard Company has received no
messages from the Mauretania since Mon
day. 1t was thought highly probable that
she would beat the record made by the
Lusltanla and pass the lightshlp an hour
two earlier on Thursday night.
