womanhood in a stress needing the
strength and kindly interposition OF
some one TO ward off the rigors Of an

innocence and her claim that she was
the victim Of mistaken identity. He said
that Attorney G. c. Fulton, his brother,

the necessity of sparing MiSs Smith the

Pet tit, counsel for the chamber of com" merce of Philadelphia who began to address the commission yesterday af- ternoon concluded his argument today in support of the dfferentials.

Brown, representing the commercial interests of Baltimore concluded the argument in favor of the differentials. John G. Carlisle argued In behalf of the New York chamber of commerce.
