Council, 10 A. NJ, Wednesday,

1t is lawful for common carriers of
passengers to make special reduced
rates for school children. to be used
only in going to and from school, APP
pIfcable to all school children alike
within their respective communities,
provided such rates are not lower than
those named in its schedule or in force
when this act went into effect. and are
not sufficiently low to become a burden
upon the carrier to be shifted to other
members of the public according to a
decision which was rendered Friday by
the members of the Public Utilities
Commission. Hon. Benjamin f. cleaves

Dear Sir:
Your letter of November 10, 1914,
asking this Commission for eonstruc-
ton of the effect of the Public Utilities
Act OF this State. being Chapter 129 of
the Public Laws of 1913, on the prac-
tice Of common carriers in transporting
school children at reduced rates, has
been carefully considered by the Com
mission. Considerable time has been
given to the examination of the laws
of other states and of the Interstate
Commerce Act touching this question
and of their rulings Hereunder to get
whatever light is available. After a
painstabing analysis of the provisions
of our Act we have reached the con-
clusion stated below
This is a question of such statewide
interest that we are taking the liberty
of giving this letter to the press for
general information.
May common carriers of passengers
lawfully transport school children at
reduced rates? They could do so prior
to the passage of the Public Utilities
Act? They still have that right un-
less prevented by the provisions of that
law. This Commission has done moth
ing to abate it.
The only provisions relating to free
or reduced rates for transportation are
found in sections 10. 49, 25, 80, 81, and
80. Section 10 provides tha- rates
shall be reasonable and just" and
that every unjust or unreasonable
charge for such service is hereby pro-
hibited and declared unlawful mas
much as a subsequent section tsection
80 forbids discrimination and still
other express prohibitions against free
and reduced rates are found. it is not
probable that the Legislature intended

MAN TRIES TO FOOL POLICE

New York.-An attempt to beat the
finger print system proved unsuccess-
ful when Joseph SIMPLE was identified
at headquarters. though he had had a
sixth finger on his left hand ampu.
tated to fool the experts.
As the prints OF the remaining nm.
gers Of the prisoner were the same as
those on the record Of SIMPLE, the
police examined his hand closely and
found q tiny scar where the sixth
finger had been. He then admitted
that specialist had operated on him.
SIMPLE, who has served in Elmira
for burglary, was caught with three
other men in basement at ITO East
Fourth street, in which the police
say they found $4,000 worth OF stolen
hair goods. The other three have
also served sentences for burglary.

MISSION FOR THE ANTIQUARY
Discovery Made In cairn In Scotland
Has Been Something of q
Puzzle 30 Far.

An interesting discovery has been
made In the wild and mountainous
pass OF DEumochter, Scotland, some
three miles to the south of Dalwhin-
ME, where Glasgow contractors are
carrying on operations for the i'm
provement Of roads. The stones- In a
large cairn close by the Great North
Road, between Perth and Inverness,
were being utilized for road metalling
purposes. and while engaged in remov.
Ing these stones the workmen came
upon a vell-preserved human skele-
ton- The Hkeleton was found close to
the outer edge Of the cairn, which is
some nifty feet In circumference, and
of considerable height. Further oper:
'edons revealed q stone cist or coffin
In the center OF the cairn. There was
apparently no connection between the
skeleton and the cist. In view OF its
exposed position and excellent state
OF preservation the interment Of the
skeleton must have taken place In
comparatively recent times. It's only
covering consisted Of about foot OF
loose stones. The cist was formed of
q large rough slab supported by rows
OF upright stones, suggestive of Pic
tish origin. How 1t came to be in the
center OF the cairn Ia not easily ex.
planned. The cairn itself is said to
nave been placed there TO commemor-
ate halt made by the Highland army
In l746. The Pass Of Drumocbter Ia
notable In Jacobite annals by reason
OF the fact that Sir John Cope held
council Of war In the neighborhood In
August, 1745. Lord George Murray
successfully made series Of attacks
on posts held by the royahst army In
the neighborhood of Drumoehter, 90
that the cairn may have been erected
to commemorate some such event.

BOXING DECISIONS
FOR CLEVELAND FANS

Cleveland Ohio, Dec. IA meeting
Of the Cleveland boxing commission.
to be held at the rooms Of the Cleve-
land Athletic club this evening, will
definitely settle the question as to
whether boxing bouts with ringside
decisions shall prevail when profess
sional boxing bouts are resumed in
this city under the direction Of the
boxing commission recently provided
for to control the bouts staged here.
The proposition which is most ia
vored here gives the referee the final
vote as to the results Of the contests,
In case two judges shall fail to agree
on a decision. Otherwise the referee
has no voice in the matter. In order
to prevent public knowledge as to who
the referee shall be, the commission
has established a regulation for the
submission OF the names of three per-
sons to act as referees. from which
one shall be selected by the commis-
sion, the name to be made public at
the ringside.
This it is believed, will result in
fair decisions in all cases. Tho COM
mission will not only regulate admis-
sion fees to the deterrent bouts staged,
but will also have the right to pass on
the merits Of the. pair. matched in
all bouts, whether preliminaries or
finals, 80 that one-sided matches may
