TARIFF RI VISION is
SOMEWHAT IN DOUBT

Special by United Press Wire
Washington, Nov. lett is the
height of folly to expect a tariff re-
vision to benefit the consumer no mat
ter what the Ways and Means COM
mittee does. No matter what con-
gress decides to do, the individual
consumer will find himself paying
just as much for the necessities and
luxuries of life.''
This assertion was made today By
Representative Boutell, of Illinois
one of the leading republican mem.
bers of the committee. He said the
only class benefited If the schedules
are reduced, will be the importers
and iobbers.
AS Boutell is in thorough accord
with Chairman Payne and other re-
lpublicans of the committee his inter
| view may be accepted as fair index
of the sentiment of majority owing
to the fact that nine out of ten wit
Enesses thus far examined by the COM
mittee have declared against any re-
duction of the schedules.

A letter has been sent to every
member Of the church which reads,

Dear Fellow Member and Friend,
The year 1908 marks the nine
tieth anniversary of the founding of
the First Baptist church of Perth
Amboy, New Jersey. Before the year
ends we shall assemble In our meet
ing-house in commemoration of the
event, the date agreed upon being

"On this occasion we shall empha-
size our loyalty to our church home
by having an old-fashioned roll-call,
inviting each member, whether resi-
dent or nonresident, to respond
either in person or by mail. For this
purpose, kindly use the inclosed pos
tai card, following the directions
printed thereon. A record will be
kept of those who thus respond; let
your name be upon this list, thus at
testing your continued interest in
the welfare of the church. There
will be also other exercises in keep
ing with the occasion, including
messages either in person or by let
ter from all the living former pas
tors. A social hour will close the
evening.
"The outlook for the future is
bright, but its very brightness brings
with it added responsibilities. We
have instituted a forward Baptist
movement in our city, for the re-
sponse to which appeal the pastor
has nothing but unstinted praise.
Such a forward movement calls for
great things to be done and dared for
the Kingdom, to which end we shall
need to consecrate our time, our en-
ergies, our talents and our means. "

place, Brooklyn, arrived here Satur
day night shortly after o'clock and
spent an hour at the Packer House.
The couple eloped Thursday even
ing and were secretly married in Ho-
boken and until Saturday neither of
their parents knew of their where
abouts. They spent Saturday after
noon at Princeton, where they view
ed the football game and later tele-
then came to this city in their ma
pouring rain.
After dining, Mrs. Peter Floersch
made the young bride as comfortable
as possible and even loaned her a
neck wrap, which Mrs. Swan said she
would return today The young
couple said that they were going
home to be forgiven, and left for New
York shortly before $50 o'clock.
The following appeared in yester-
days World:
Marcellus F. Berry, of 1877 Lin
coin place, Brooklyn, whose daughter
Florence was married secretly in New
Jersey to Halstead Swan, grand
son and prospective heir of the
wealthy Mrs. William c. Kingsley,
|said last night he had received word
from the bride and bridegroom.
My daughter and her husband
called us up late this after noon by
telephone from Princeton, where they
attended the football game" said Mr..
Berry. Because of wire troubles
we could not hear them well or make
them understand much that we said.
They will not return to New York

know what their plans for the future
are"
Mr.. Berry expressed amazement
that Kingsley Swan, brother of his

and her family, as told in yesterdays
World, as IL they were practical
strangers to the Swans.
why" said Mr.. Berry, my
daughter and Halstead Swan had
been going together for fully year
and all of his relatives and friends
knew of their engagement. 1t was
my daughter who introduced to King
sley Swan the young woman who is
now his wife. 1t is not strange that
Halstead Swan, who is only twenty
two years old, and his grandmother,
Mrs. Kingsley, should differ In their
views and that she should have de-
sired him to wait two or three years
instead of marrying now"
Mrs. William G. Kingsley denied
that she intended to disinherit Hal
stead Swan for getting married. She
would not say whether or not she ap-
proved his choice of bride.
my sons married the women they
wanted to marry, and why should not
my grandsons do likewise! she said.
Justice of the Peace Samuel Eng
Ter, Of 81 North street, Hoboken,
said he married young Swan and Miss
Berry Thursday evening. They ar
rived at his Office in an automobile,
and, having no witnesses, Justice
Ergler sent across the street to a ci-
gar store, and got two men to act in
that capacity.
