DIFFERENTrALs DISCUSSED.
Hearing Before the Interstate Com
 merce Communication.


 Washington. Jan. 27.--The Interstate Comerce Commission today continued its hearing on the question of port diff ferentials on freight to Atlantic ports. Testimony of Baltimore witnesses as to interests of that port occupied the morning session.
 Waiter Kirwin contended that the differential was essential to the secur- ingg' of business. John M. Dennis tes- tihed that Baltimore shipping inter- ests could not live on a one and half cent differential of grain rates.
 Charles England said Baltimore should have a cent differential on ac- count of the short land and long ocean distance and that since the difIerential was cut there has been little business done in the differential territory. Blanchard Randall urged cent dif- ferential for Baltimore on account of the distance conditions.

when suspicion for her crime fell upon

which she was not guilty, this girl who
was guilty came forward, confessed all
