At the urgent request Of Representative
Henry e. Rainey of the Twentieth Illinois
district, Attorney General Moody has
agreed to grant him a hearing at which the
Department of Justice will be called upon
to secure indictments under section OF
the Sherman antitrust law against the
ofucers Of what Mr.. Raney is pleased TO
call the Watch trust. The Illinois con-
gresham gained some prominence at the
last session Of congress by a more or less
sensational attack upon the methods of
this so-called trust. He declared that
American watches were sold abroad 40 per
cent cheaper than at home and named
dealer in New York City whom he said
was buying Waltham and Flgin watches in
Europe reimporting them and selling them
In this country below the prices of other
dealers and at a profit to himself.
All corporations and companies are for
hidden by section of the Sherman anti
trust law from entering into contract with
citizen of any foreign nation by which
the trade between the United States and
other nations is hindered. Penalties are
provided for violation of this section,
which, curiously enough, has never been
tested in the courts. Representative
Rainey claims to have positive proof of its
violation by officers of the so-called Watch
trust and he appears confident of the gov
ernments ability to obtain indictments II
he can induce the attorney general to pur-
sue the matter.

Exactly thirty years ago on the opening
day of congress, Henry M. Teller became
a member of the United States senate.
He and John B. Chaffee, the first senator
from Colorado, were sworn In December 3,
1876, the year that the state was admitted
to the union. Colorado had but one repre-
sentative then-James b. Bedford. who used
to be called the red-headed rooster Of the
Rockies" President Grant always ad-
dressed Mr. Teller as general" One day
the senator asked why he preferred the
military title to the senatorial title, Be
cause general is a better title than SEN
ator,'" replied the old soldier.
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1906-12-12

Vice President Fairbanks was exchanging
compliments with the mayor of Kansas
City, Mo, and other prominent citizens who
are here attending the deep waterways con-
vention. He moved nervousy from one
foot to the other and apparently was in a
hurry to get away.
Yes drop in any time" he said. I'm
little busy this morning, but come in
any time; always glad to see you"
The delegation bowed itself out, and the
door had scarcely closed when the vice
president shouted for his messenger.
John, scoot for home and get me my
old Shoes" he said. IT'S wonderful how
d new pair pinches."
While the messenger was going and re-
turning the vice president sat in Solitary
glory in his room, receiving no visitors.

General Leonard Wood has written
a strong plea for the increase Of the
army 10 the Philippines. He urges
that the artillery 10 the islands be
largely increased and that the forth
fed places be multiplied. Without
plainly saying SO, General Wood is
under the impression that this
county may have to defend its
possession of the islands against
China or Japan. He insists that the
government should send some of is
young army officers to Japan and to
China every year TO learn the
languages Of these countries and to
familiarize themselves with national
