er at this time unless he had received

The English law is very strict on
the subject OF confessions. II abb
solutely forbids the making public
of any confession obtained from "a
prisoner. Any officer revealing the
fact of a confession could be prose
cuted.
II is thought that his legal situation

Of attitude since yesterday when he

Crippen had told him the full story OF

There are those who still insists that

BALLINGER WILL
NOT BE THE GOAT

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. Aug. A close
friend of Secretary Of the Interior
Ballinger said to-day that Ballinger

him, Ballinger would not be able to

tinued. HE would not see why ne

GROWERS OF FRUIT
COMPLAIN OF RATES
Railroads in Maryland Face
Charges When They
Increase Tariff

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Rates on
fruit to Washington, Baltimore. Phila-
delphia, New York and other centres
from the fruit-growing fields of North
ern Virginia and West Virginia are
involved in complaint filed with the
Interstate Commerce Commission by
the Virginia Fruit Exchange. The Ex-
change is an organization of Virginia
and West Virginia fruit-growers.
The roads named as defendants are
the Baltimore and Ohio, the Norfolk
and Western. the Western Maryland
and the Cumberland Valley. These
roads have filed schedules with the
Interstate Commerce. Commission, eff
fective August l and August 10, in
creasing the rates on fruit from North
ern Virginia and West, Virginia points
to various large market centres
It is alleged that in some cases the
increases exceed 20 per cent. II is
charged that this is an especially bad
time to have the rates increased, SO
far as the Virginia and West Virginia
growers are concerned, for the reason
that the Georgia fruit crop this year
is unusually heavy and much in ex-
cess of the usual output. The Georgia
crop is put on the markets at lower
figure than usual, thus making com
petition with IL difficult.
The only recourse for the Virginia
and West Virginia growers is 70 broad
Ell the territory into which they send
their product This they cannot do Il

/ their representations. They alleg'

in rates. and they ask the Commits
