WILL HOLD HEARING ON
COMPUTATION SUBJECT
Right of School Children To Get Tick
cts is Subject of Feud Between
Railroads and Commission.

WASHINGTON April 17.-An.
nouncement made today by the Inter
state Commerce Commission that il
would hold public hearing May 9th
regarding the right of interstate rail-
roads to discriminate in the sale OF
Communication tickets, particularly to
school children, brings to light the ex-
istence OF bitter feud between the
commission and the Pennsylvania and
other railways
The trouble had It's origin In the
ruling of the commission that rail
roads did not have the legal right to
discriminate in the sale of school
tickets at reduced rates In favor OF
one class OF pupils as against another.
1t had long been the custom Of many
railroads, notably the Pennsylvania
lines, to sell Communication tickets TO
pupils attending day schools. but re-
fusing the same privilege 70 those at
tending night and other schools
The commission knocked out this dis
elimination but allowed the railroads
the right TO fix an age limit. Rail
roads generally resented the ruling.
Many of them withdrew the sale OF
school tickets between interstate conf
merce points. Some, among them the
Pennsylvania, publicly held the COM
mission responsible for the withdrawal
with the result that the latter has
been deluged with protests and de-
mands for an explanation.

NO QUORUM IN
HOUSE; STOP WORK
Chambers, of Gratiot, Raises Point
and Only "a Answer Roll Call
Solons Puzzled.
(From a STAFF correspondent.)


LANSING, Mich, April 17.-After
the house had passed 16 bills Ia com
mittee OF the whole yesterday, Rep.
Chambers. OF Gratiot. who opposed
an amendment to the Stewart bill re-
organizing the military department.
offered by Miller. OF Ionia, raised the
point OF order that there was no
quorum. The clerk called the roll
and found only "a members present.
Clerk Giddings believes the commit
tees report was unfinished business
and must be taken Up when the house
meets ON Monday. but some fear that
the house must sit in committee OF
the whole again on all the work done
yesterday. Miller won In his fight TO
tack on the amendment giving Ionia
$4,000 additional for armoTy purposes
Some ginger was thrown into the
discussion over the bill introduced by
Baldwin, OF Lenawee. giving supervis-
ors extra pay when acting ON commit
tees naddition to 50 a day for wages.
The bill gave six cents a mile both
ways and this was struck out leaving
the officers pay only for actual ex-
penses. The bill granted four days for
the spring session and Speer, OF Sag
NAV, wanted 1t changed TO three,
which was done after another lively
discussion.
Another fight developed over the
bill by Currie, Of Midland. authorizing
boards OF supervisors TO designate
banks OF deposit for county funds. Van
Raalte, of Ottawa, saw only politics In
this. Currie denounced Van Raaite's
stand, asserting that politics was now
in the department and this bill would
shut 1t out. The bill finally passed.
