CONDUCTOR Anglers WOMAN
BY ASKING FARE FOR BOY

The failure of the railroad COM
NAMES to post the interstate COM
MERGE provision that children more
than five years of age must pay rail-
road fare, and that children more
than twelve must pay full fare caus-
ed a serious mixup at the Denver
union station yesterday.
A mother boarded an outgoing
train. and when informed by the
conductor that her son must have
a ticket, she insisted that while he
was 10 years old, he was small for
his age, and that she had never been
compelled to pay his fare.
The conductor tried to explain TO
her that the interstate law required
all children more than years old
to have a ticket, regardless OF their
size: but 1t was only after ne
threatened not to let the boy be a
passenger on his train that he was
able to persuade the woman to pay
for his ride.
The federal law Is strict with the
railroads, and insists that all chill
den more than must pay half fare
and that all more than IL must pay
full fare.
If any railroads allow infractionf
they are liable to prosecution. Just
as the passengers who disobey theil
provisions through ignorance OF
otherwise.
Railroad men say that conditions
Twin improve in this respect whez
the people realize they are actually
breaking the law-and that thii
Improvement can only be brought
labout by continuous explanation o
the conditions. Many parents hAy'
evaded the rule through Ignorance

point out that in view Of condition.
