TARIFF SPEECHES
BARELY STARTED
Rainey, of Illinois, Prepar-
ing Another.
ABOUT THE WATCH TRUST
Has Cable1 Abroad for Information
With Which to Refute Algu-
ment by BoutelI.

The watch trust-steel rail tariff discus
sion has not much more than started,
from all indications in the House
Mr.. Rainey of Illinois. whose speech
on the watch trust started the trouble,
announces that as soon as he gets to-
Eether certain documents he has cabled
abroad for. he will deliver a reply 10 the
speech delivered, by Mr. Bouten of
Illinois.
Mr.. Bouteli made some statements
which were vouched for 10 him by the
officers of the Waltham and Elgin
watch companies. and Mr. Rainey, in
the course Of the discussion, intimated
broadly that these gentlemen had not
told all the truth
"Keen, Of Broadway"
An interested auditor in the gallery
during Mr.. BouteTs speech was Keen
OF Broadway-Iower Broadway" as Mr..
Boutell described him. Keen is the man
who went to England. bought up Ameri-
can watches at foreign prices. reim-
ported them. and then was able to sell
them at prices far below retail prices
in this country for the same class OF
goods
1t seems that Keen has big consIgn-
ment of American made watches now
held up by the customs authorities IN
New York. where protests have been
made against readmitting them to this
country.
After the American watchmakers
learned OF Keen's plan of importing
American watches and cutting the home
prices, they sought to get his goods
stopped at the custom house. This
didn't succeed
Another Plan.
Then they sent abroad large number
of American watches and fitted them
with Swiss dials abroad Keen was al
lowed to buy 1900 Of these watches with
Swiss dials.
He brought them 10 New York. and
the customs officers, carefully primed by
the people who knew what was doing
raised the point that. because OF the
dials that had been added abroad. these
watches were no longer entitled 10 free
admission. they had been improved
abroad and their value increased. IL was
alleged.
Then Keen offered to take of the
Swiss dial and bring in the bare works
and on this the customs authorities have
not been able yet to rule. The matter
IS expected TO be settled in the courts.

CUPID BUSY IN WRECKED CITY.
An unusual phase growing out Of
the San Francisco disaster has just
come to light Scores of young
couples who were engaged previously
to the earthquake are Fastening their
weddings. On Saturday morning dur
ing one hour there we're seven appli-
cations for marriage licenses. Path
etic incidents have grown out of the
questions asked concerning the pros
pectfve grooms residence. II don't
live anywhere" is the answer given
in many cases, and occasionally the
answer is, / used to live in San
Francisco" The reason for these
hasty marriages lies in the predica-
ment of the women of the city. Practt
cally all of them are now homeless,
and in their extremity such of them
as are engaged have turned to their
fiancees for aid. Great credit is due
the men Of San Francisco who In the
face Of the dreadfu; condition result
ing from the earthquake, neverthe-
less are willing to face the future,
black though it may look, with the
added care of wife. The women
who gain such husbands as these are
lucky, for they know they are getting
real men for their rife mates; men
who by their willingness to marry at
such a time have proved that they
will be true protectors in the fullest
sense of the word.
