ADDRESS AT CHICAGO

Chicago. Sept. 17.-President Taft's
keynote speech on the tariff, curren-
cy and corporations will be delivered
somewhere out in the throbbing west.
His keynote speech for Chicago dealt
almost exclusively with labor and the
courts.
His only reference to the tariff in
the Orchestra hall speech last night
was the statement that It was out of
the way, and there was no reason
now why capital and labor and all
hands should not get together and
make the prosperity Of the country
the greatest In its history.
BY inference President Taft said
that the tariff was a closed incident
for the time being, although he prom
ised to say something about 1t else
where on the $4,000 mile tour.
OF currency he said nothing.
Roosevelt Policies in Mind.
OF corporations he only said that
some of Mr.. Roosevelt's policies
should be kept In mind and that the
new conditions in this country re-
quired new regulatory measures in
dealing with great combinations of
capital
On one point the president was spe-
cific and forceful and irrevocably
committed to a reform at the next
session of congress. That was the In

ter being repulsed by her, b =
license to marry Miss Ma
ans, young girl of Saginaw,
who is said to be worth 41T~
Lantz told the Cook county clerk -
the way to win a wife was to get q
cense and that the girl would the
rush to the altar. He represented
himself as a travelling salesman for &
coffin factory.
Made Her Peevish.
A Chicago dispatch says that Lantz
appeared at the county clerks office
Tuesday and secured license to mar
~ Miss Williams. She noticed her
name as a prospective bride in the
city statistics column of a daily pa
per the next morning. and hardly be-
fore she had finished reading it,
Lantz came up to her telephone booth
in the Hotel Mayer and showed her
the license. telling her to come on
and have the knot tied.
Miss Williams was very much an
gered and called the hotel authorities
who had Lantz elected.
Miss Williams went to the county
clerk and told him the next time any
one came and wanted to take out a IL
cense to marry her that he should
not grant 1t. She promised that she
would get her own license and not de-
pend on tickle man.
Lantz unabashed appeared at the
clerks office Wednesday afternoon
and asked to get another license.
This time 1t was to marry a rich
heiress, Miss Marian Evans, who
was stopping at the same hotel as
he. He was questioned by the clerk,
but the latter finally gave him a IL
cense. He told the clerk he did not
know the heiress. hut that all a man
had to do to win a woman. was to
get a license. So far as known, he
has not presented himself to Miss
Evans as yet with his proposal of
marriage.
Assaulted His Mother.
Lantz was well dressed and has
been at the hotel for several days.
His every attitude was that of a sue
cessful travelling man.
Several months ago, while Wilfred
Jessup was prosecuting attorney,
Lantz was prosecuted on a charge Of
assault and battery on his mother,
Mrs. Thomas Lantz of Milton He
was sent to Jail for IL days and af-
terwards taken home by his father.
