N. Y. OPPOSES BALTIMORE
The Chamber of Commerce Pro-
tests Against Differential.
LFrom the TrIhune Rrrean.

Washington, Jan. 23-Members Of the
New York Chamber of Commerce presented
a strong case in their argument against the
oifferential In favor of Baltimore before the
Interstate Commerce Commission to-day
The witnesses declared that New York was
deprived Of practically all grain and flour
export business by the differential in favor
OF Baltimore, which. added to cheaper
storage I'm the smaller city, gave it an un-
surmountable advantage.
The chief witness of the day was +. F..
Knceland. of Powers. Son & Co. grain
tined that grain statistics which had been
cited were misleading because there was
practically no competitive business through
New York now. He said no exporter would
send his grain via New York until Balti-
more could afford no further accommoda-
tions, either in cargoes or storage and that
when steamship rates were high New York
stood no chance whatever. Speaking OF
steamship rates, ne declared they were now
so high as TO be- in his estimation, ''illegiti-
mate"
In support of his contention that the
cheaper rates OF storage I'm the smaller
city, together with the prevailing differ
ential. made It more profitable for ex-
porters to ship to Baltimore, even when
they had to store their grain there for
time, Mr.. Kneeland cited the fact that
there are now over 10000 bushels of wheat
in Baltimore elevators awaiting shipment.
Because Of the high rates for storage in
New York, Mr.. Kneeland Contended that
Baltimore would be on an equality with
New York without any differential what
ever.
Thomas F. Downey. broker testified
that as a result Of the differential Balti-
more had secured all the export business
in burap. A. c. Tripp, lawyer. for Bal
timore. contended that the statistics would
not support this contention, but Mr..
Downey insisted they would.
J. w. Warner, another New York grain
exporter, confirmed all that had been said
by Mr. Kneeland and submitted cable dis
patches showing that Baltimore was quot
ing grain at materially lower rates than
could the New York exporters
w. Il. Eaton. traffic manager Of the Erie
Railroad, submitted reports from agents
of his railroad, setting forth that il was
impossible to secure business for New York
because OF the advantage enjoyed by Bal
timore
Philander Holt. a New York -four export
er, urged the abolition OF the differential,
asserting that long IL prevailed New
York could not export -four, and that while
the statistics showed some expectation OF
-four from New York It was only that
made within the state. or. al least, treated
in that vicinity. The testimony OF the New

ROW OVER BRONX COUNTY
Stilwell Resents Newcomb's Bill
for Referendum.
tBy Telegraph to The Tribune. !

Albany. Jan. 23.-The introduction of
bill by Senator Newcomb to-day providing
for a referendum by the voters OF the
Borough Of The Bronx this fall on the
question, Shall the territory OF the Bor-
ough Of The Bronx be erected into a
county OF The Bronx" precipitated live
Iy spat to-day between him and Senator
Stilwell. the original Bronx County
man" Mr.. stilwell charged that Mr.. New
comb was guilty Of legislative discourtesy
in handling a matter which does not per-
tain TO his district
This bill is put in only to cause confu-
sion and delay" he said 1T wouldn't
have been put in at all. only Newcomo
leader is a member OF Republican COM
mittee which says there is no sentiment
in The Bronx for Bronx County"
IF Senator Stilwel thinks my legisla-
tive acts are governed by the opinions or
any leader or boss, he's just talking drlVei-
llngs," retorted Senator Newcomb.
Mr.. Stilwells bill, the one which Tam
many fought so hard last year. provides
for the erection of Bronx County without
any referendum There will be hearing
on IL and the Newcomb measure on Feb
mittees of the two houses, and in the
mean time Senator Stilwell is pulling all
the legislative wires he can to line up
votes for his measure.
There is a peculiar situation regarding
Bronx County, in both political parties. The
Democrats are awaiting orders from Mur-
ply before taking any position. other than
private dickers with Senator Stilwell, such
as are made necessary by day to day legis-
lative progress. Murphy is said here TO be
having a canvass made Of The Bronx TO
ascertain how the voters really stand on
the proposition.
The upstate Republicans in general favor
the creation of the new county. State Chair
man Barnes and the ''old guard particu-
larlv favor IT, They figure that the new
county naturally would fall under the po-
litical domination of William l.. Ward,
suzeran OF Westchester County. since part
Of The Bronx is combined with part OF
Westchester County under the new Con-
gress district scheme.
Such an alignment, they say, would put
