Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEWARK. y. j. January 13.-After
working all night in the binding glare or
new electric lamp, being perfected In
the laborat tories of Thomas \. Edison, In
West Orange two of his assistants were
run down by a car early today just as
they stepped from the plant. One of the
men. Abel Medwin, an electrician, was
instantly killed and his body ground to
pieces. The other man, Charles Senders,
also an electrician, was so severely in
jured that he may die.
During the night the men had become
SO accustomed to the intense light of the
lamp over which they were working that
when they stepped out of doors, while it
was not yet daylight, they We're unable
to recognize the approach of a trolley
car and were run down.

Immediately after the accident Coroner 5

Mr.. Edison said that after working for
an hour or more in the fierce glare of the

May RESTORE SCHOOL FARES
WITHDRAWAL NOT REQUIRED
BY INTERSTATE RULING.
Chairman Knapp Makes Plain It's
Meaning In Letter to Fennsyl-
vania Railroad President.

II the management of the steam and
electric railways leading into Washington
withdrew the reduced fare tickets which
have heretofore been sold for school chill
dren through misconceptions of a recent
decision of the interstate commerce COM
mission, as appears to have been the case
children living on the line of the railways
may soon expect return of their former
privilege of lower fares. This is not only
true of those who live on the line of the
Pennsylvania railroad. which has been
specially advised upon the subject. but
of those living on the Rockville. Alexan-
dria and Falls Church lines. to all of
which the communication sent the Penn
sylvania officials applies with equal force.
'The commission did not require with
drawal of reduced rates for school chill
dren, and in this or in any other instance
in which they have been withdrawn it is
the voluntary action of the carrier. taken
because 1t prefers to Withdraw such re-
duced rate privileges rather than to re-
move the glaring Determinations which
have been practiced in connection there
with. This is the direct manner in
which Chairman Martin a. Knapp of the
interstate commerce commission in a let
ter 10 f'reSluent James Mctrea OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company meets
the recent advertised statement of that
company, that because of a decision of the
interstate commerce commission it would
be Obliged TO withdraw from sale on and
after February 10. next the reduced rate
tickets formerly sold to school children
Judge knapp'S letter further states that.
whether Intentionally or not, the state
nlent 6iscredits the effort of the commits
sion to fairly administer the plain pro-
visions Of the law and to prevent discrim-
nations prohibited by it,
In tho case in which tho decision refer
red to was rendered. il appears, the rail-
road company'S regulations provided for
the issue of monthly Communication tickets
TO pupils. without regard to age. who are
in attendance on schools of q certain kind
or class. and speciticallW excluded pupils
attending other kinds OF schools.
The substance of the decision was that
the company had no right to inquire into
the mission. errand or business of a pas
senger travelling upon d ticket sold by it;
in other words. it's tickets and fares must
he open alike to all under substantially
similar conditions. and. all other condi-
tons being observed. the company has no
right to refuse to sell it's tickets except to
those who want them for a purpose laid
down by the company or to inquire into
why or for what purpose persons are 60
ing when they use the tickets.
