EXPOSES TRICKS
WATCH TRUST
Dealer Keene Says American
TiCkerS Are Sold Cheaper
Abroad Than in America

Washington, May 3--Charles e.
I<eene of New York, president of the
Independent Watch Dealers associa-
tlon, today conferred with Assistant
District Attorney Purdy concerning
an investigation which The depart
nent Is making into the methods OF
the so-ealled Watch trust Mr.
Keenc presented 10 Mr. Purdy. he
said, evidence concerning the opera
lions of the alleged watch trust. He
asserted that An1eriean- made watches
could be purchased in various Euro
pean countries for much less than
they could be bought in this country
and thar the alleged watch trust sold
watches to foreign dealers at much
less price than they quoted to Amer-
can dealers. He exhibited American
watches which he had purchased
abroad for less than he could buy
them in this country.
Mr.. Keene also called at the White
House today and offered to President
Roosevelt a watch with an American
movement and American case which
he had purchased in England from Il
dealer who had paid the alleged
watch trust $7.9S for it, The watch.
he said would cost an American
dealer $1S.5S. The watch was en-
grayed as having been presented tc
President Roosevelt as demon
stration of the methods of the Ameri-
Fan watch trust. The president de-
clined TO accept the gift Later in
the day Mr. Keene sent the watch
to the President with letter urging
him TO accept it, saying:
You will find engraved on this
watch, in as few words as possible.
indisputable evidence of the watch
trust methods, which show serious
discrimination against the American
dealer in favor of the foreigner.
In letter which Mr. Keene left
with the president. he said he pur-
chased American watches in Europe
in substantial quantities and brought
them back to New York to undersell
the market
Because of this, he said, the
trust is trying to stop my supply in
Europe, in a way that / think is in
direct violation of the Sherman anti
trust act. I think l have sufficient
evidence TO convict the trust Grimm
ally for conspiring with English
dealers to prohibit my agents from
executing my orders for the purchase
of American watches in the English
market"

The work under progress gives Il

the largest and the most sumptu-

The first floor will be given over
TO the large Office and lobby, bill

be completed and the carpenters can
then be given possession.
