KEENE FILES DEMURRER
IN WALTHAM WATCH SUIT
New York Jeweler Will Fight
to the Finish.
is UNDER NO CONTRACT
Claims Right to Buy in Cheapest
Market of the World and to Sell
at Any Price he Is Willing to
Accept.

A legal case of great interest to all
jewellers as. we'll as to merchants in
every other line of trade is that of the
Waltham Watch Company against
Charles A. Keene, the well-known jew
eler of No. $50 Broadway, Manhattan.
The litigation has been in progress for
a long time. and is based on the efforts
of the watch company to restrain Mr..
Keene from selling their watches at
prices less than those 1xed by the
manufacturers. =
On Monday. June 5, A. H. Rosenfeld,
of No. rs William street, Manhattan,
filed a demurrer in the Circuit Court
of the United States for the Southern
District of New York to the action of
the Waltham Company. Mr.. Keene's
intention is to fight the cas- to a finish
and the final adjudication of the ques-
ton will be a matter of direct personal
interest to every citizen of the country.
The contention of Mr.. Keene is that
inasmuch as he is under no c%ontractual
relation with the Waltham Manufac-
turing Company, he has a right to buy
Waltham watches in the cheapest mar
ket, and that If he car buy those
watches in London or any other place
from 40 to 60 per cent. cheaper than he
can at home. where they are manufac-
tured, the transaction is a perfectly
/ climate one. Furthermore. that If
he then can sell these watches at a
lower price than other dealers, still
making a reasonable profit, he proposes
to find out whether there is any law in
this country which will prevent him
from so doing.
Mr.. Keene feels that if he had &C
cepted the conditions under which the
Waltham watches are forced on the
small dealers of the country, who are
not in a position to buy in large guam
titles abroad. he would have had the
hearty approval of the manufacturers.
Not having done so he seems deter
mined to solve the problem Of whether
there still is freedom of barter and sale
in the modern commercial world.

OPEN DEFIANCE IS
SHOWN To GRAND
JURY OF HUDSON
Board of Education Refuses to
Permit Inspection of Con-
demned School.
Ispecial to the Newark star.l

HoBOKEN, June 6.-The Board of
Education last night openly defied the
grand jury of Hudson county and by
body or a committee to inspect School
No. /. 1t has been claimed by many
citizens that this school building Is
substantial, and by the expenditure of
a small sum of money may be made
into a building that will be adequate
for all school purposes.
1t Is also claimed by the estate of
Edwin A. Stevens that the city only
occupies the building by the consent Of
the Stevens family, under the terms OF
a will left by Edwin l.. Stevens. After
the Board of Education recently decid-
ed to tear down the building the Com
mon Council requested Charles Fall, a
architect, to make an in
spection and to ascertain it's condition.
Mr.. Fall was refused permission by the
Board of Education to enter the build
ing and make such inspection.
The Board of Education not only de-
termined to raze School No. l, but de-
manded that the council give 1t 100000
to purchase additional land, and the
sum of $3.50. 900 to enable it to erect a
new building. This the council refused
to do. and advertised for bids for the
demolition of the building. Bids were
received last night and the contract
was awarded to he Goldberg House
wrecking Company.
city Council Also snubbed.
.-.
Prior to awarding this contract the
Board of Education adopted a long pre-
amble and resolution, which read in
part as follows:
"Whereas, There is no reason why
any citizen of Hoboken or of the county
of Hudson should not be given permis-
sion to inspect any school building OF
the city of Hoboken, but that this
board does not propose to recognize the
right Of the council of the city of Ho-
boken nor of the grand jury of the
county of Hudson or of any other body
to Interfere with the management OF
school affairs of the city of Hoboken;
now, therefore, be 1t
"Resolved, That this board refuses to
recognize the right of the council OF the
CITY of Hoboken or of the grand jury
of the county of Hudson to interiors
in any whatever with the man
agement of the schools of the city oil
Hoboken, but recognizes the right OF
the grand jury to investigate as to the
commission of any crime; and, be il
further
Resolved, That any citizen of the
city of Hoboken or of h county oil
Hudson, whether members of h coun'
ell of the city of Hoboken or of tbs
grand jury of the county of Hudson, OF
otherwise, be permitted to inspect al

The right front wheel of the car was

possible, the police say, for the car
to be hurled to the position 1t occu-
pied when found, but hard to believe
that any one il. the car could escape
injury if that happened.

COUNTESS AS STREET SWEEP
Her Countrymen to Freedom by
Display Of FortItude.

julie M. Lippmann tells a story Of
the Thirty Years war in st. Nicholas,
under the title of The Street Sweep
or" The author says:
Now Mainx Il one Of the strongest
fortresses in Germany; but, neverthe-
less, during the Thirty Years war It
was occupied by the French, who laid
the country waste and ruled over the
land with all the harshness OF In
vaders. There seemed no hope of es.
Gaping from their tyranny, for the men
who had fought and lost were dis
couraged, and had no further heart for
resistance. So matters went from bad
to worse until. one day, the beautiful
young countess of Stein summoned all
the sweetest and best maidens of the
city into her presence, and urged them
TO make solemn vow that they would
neither we'd nor listen to word of
wooing until their country was en-.
tirely free.
AS you may believe, the news Of
this league made great stir; for met
who have lost their courage in war,
and men who have lost their hearts in
love, are very different beings. The
Frenchmen saw very soon that the
young Germans were showing signs
of rebellion, and SO they determined
to wreak their vengeance on the
countess. They took her prisoner.
dragged her through the city, and at
last thrust broom into her hand, and
bade her sweep the principal street Of
the town-a terrible humiliation, they
thought, for high-bred lady rs she
was.
But do you think she faltered? No,
indeed. She raised her eyes, and,
praying aloud so all could hear: God
Of my fatherland, bless my sweeping,
md as sweep the highway, grant
nat the enemy may be swept from
yur land!"-grasped the broom firmly
(ike the true young noblewoman she
was) and swept so clean that not q
Frenchman Of them all (and French
men pride themselves on being able
to see very fine points) could discover
speck of dust. They stood about,
and twirled their mustaches, and tried
to look supercilious, and to raise the
peoples mir+h against her. But they
did not succeed; and the townsfolk.
instead Of jcering, took off their caps,
and echoed her prayer-"God bless
the sweeping!"
And GOD did bless 1t; for the sight
Of their noble young countess at her
task put the men on their mettle, ans
they turnsd on the Frenchmen and
fought with such will that it was
not long before there was not one left
In the land, and they had indeed swept
the co,mtry quite clear of every foe.
