PUTNAM STRONG
GOES ON Stage
Will Appear in Vaudeville
With May Yohe.
A SHOCK TO HIS FAMILY
Income Which Has Been Allowed
Him Will PIobabl.y BE
Cut OFF.

NEW YORK, April 5.-Regardless of
the feelings of the members of his fam
lily, Putnam BradIee Strong, son of for
rner Mayor William l. Strong, and hus-
band of May Yohe, the actress and
divorced wife of Lord Francis Hope. has
announced his intention of going on
the stage. He will appear with his
wife in a vaudeville sketch in a Brook
lyn theater, on April a, and in a New
York theater, and then win go on the
road.
The news that the young man who
had given up brilliant career in the
army to elope with the actress, was
going on the stage. came as a shock to
those who knew him before his esca-
pades with the singer almost broke the
heart of his mother end caused his for

This was the last slim thread which has
bound him to his family, and that the
income which was allowed him after he
had dissipated the fortune which had
been left to him will be cut off forever
Can Do as He Pleases.
Apparently Strong realized how his
family would regard the step, for when
the question was p!t to him lie said:
Il can't help what my family thinks.

that our name Is well known l am more

things and no one ever bothers what
their families think about it, but it
seems to be different with me. ! am 60

1t was a pathetic sight to see the
young man, who before his elopenent
with May Yohc had as bright q future
before him as any youth in the country.
Tall handsome, manly, he was a favor
ite both with men and women. His
bravery in the Philippines had won tho
comm endation of his superior officers.
and he was made a major In the army.
Whenever Strong shovel ditfidence In
telling of his future plans he was
prompted by his wife and her manager.
They told of the difficulty they had in
getting him TO become an actor. but
finally an offer was made which he de-

CLAIM A RIGHT
TO D|FF[R[NT|ALS
Baltimore Says Geography
Justities Rate.
C0NTRADlCTED BY BOSTON
Lawyer Hamliu Says Correct Adjust
ment Would Mean a Quarter of
Cent Difference.
c0NTRADlCTED BY BOSTON

Just why port differentials should
exist and just why they should not was
learnedly argued before the Interstate
Commerce Commission today, in the
hearings now going on in the attempt
10 nave the commission knock out the
railroad and steamship differentials in
favor OF Baltimore, Chesapeake bay
points, and Philadelphia. as against
Boston and New York.
The early session of today was taken
up by John b. Daish. of Washington
cne OF the attorneys for Baltimore, and
Charles S. Hamlin, representing the
Chamber OF Commerce of Boston.
Justified by Geography.
Mr. Daish concluded the argument he
begun yesterday, his point being that
the differential. which in some freight
from Chicago to Baltimore is cents
against Boston and New York is needed
because of the geographical location of
the Monumental City
He said the differential is due be-
cause Of the distance to Baltimore the
cost of shipments, the competition, and
the value of the service. He offered a
mass of facts to substantiate these as
sertions.
New York is not trying" he said ito
obtain the approval of the commission
to the lowering of inland freight rates
to New York, but is trying to induce
the commission TO express an opinion
that, whatever the rates to New York
may be, the inland rates to Baltimore
and Philadelphia should not be any low
er than the New York rates. This de-
mand for equal inland rates is an effort
to upset the settled conditions. which
has been judicially recognized and ap-
proved, and which has continuously ex-
listed for more than thirty years"
Right to Diferential.
James Nice. Trippe followed He con-
tended that Baltimore is entitled to the
existing differential, because of its near
ness to the producing centcrs. The diff
terential, he ccntended, has diverted no
grain business from New York; on the
contrary, IL has been too small 10 pre-
vent diversion from Baltimore 10 New
York
When he concluded, Mr.. Hamlin, of
Boston, argued that the differential is
simply discriminating against Boston.
and that the ocean different!al of 3
cents is nothing more than a subsidy
paid by Westerners to aid Baltimore
Philadelphia. and other Southern cities
He said the Boston merchants had
inquired out what the differential should
be, II one Were TO be paid and that
Baltimore should not on distance or
any other claims be allowed more than
one twenty-fifhth of a hundredth of p
cent instead of 3 cents.
