Watson Talks on the Sub
ject for an Hour in
the Senate.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. May rs
Asserting that "our most successful
industries are those in which we have
accepted the competition of the
world; our least successful those in
which. we have protected inealc!ency
and and placed a handicap upon ca
pacity," Senator Watson today made
a speech of more than an hour in the
Senate in favor of the pending bill re-
drcing the tariff duties on steel and
iron He spoke from "a business
mans point Of view" he said, and as
serted that the present schedule Of
duties is unbusiEess like. He assert
ed that the levy of protective tariff
is unconstitutional
| Declaring that he believes free
trade impracticable at the present
tine, Senator watson. said that he
was certain that the people OF the
United States properly demanded an
Immediate and thorough readjust-
,nent Of duties.
Senator Watson criticized the SEN
ate for its delay in the consideration
Of tariff measures and said that Pres
| idcnt Taft had prevented tariff re-
duction. He said the "Archprogres-
sfve of ALL" who is now pushing his
own campaign for third term IN
the presidency, was in the White
House for seven years without ever
lifting finger to secure revision OF
the tariff. He gave figures on the ex-
port trade in iron and steel to show
that this country can meet all foreign
compG tition in that line.
Senator Watson also spoke in favor
of his amendment authorizing the
president to suspend any tariff duty
! from consideration of public policy
He said conditions would have been
much relieved in 1909 ii the president
had been authorized to admit coal
free of duty and that the present price
of potatoes would be very much re-
duced under the same provision of

Cambridge, June s.-B. Cowdrey,
man about "a years of age, disappeared
from his home in Cambridge on May s.,
and since that time nothing has been
heard Of him. The cause for his dis

lived for some time. His wife has re-
ported the matter to the officers here

cate him. He is thought have had
about 500 in cash when he left. He
purchased q ticket over the Rock Is

sent It back with permission to HE

fact that the company seems to have
been assessed not on its shares OF

The construction of the statute re-

Money Value Of Women.

II you are married woman, and
were asked to tell just what you were
worth in hard cash to your husband.
what figure would you name? The
question Is not fanciful one by any
means, but has been subject OF 5u'
dicial consideration.
1t was this way: The wife OF an
Iowa farmer bought gallon of what
pu-ported to be kerosene, but which
was afterward shown to be FL per
cent. gasoline. When the woman used
some of It to start IRE with the stun
exploded, and she was burnt to death
and her three children were seriously
injured. The woman's husband sued
the dealers for damages, and the jury
awarded him $25 for the loss Of his
wife and $299.71 per child on account
of injuries.
The defendants evidently thought
that a woman was not worth $25, for
they took an appeal from the verdict.
The learned court, however. declined
to look at it in that light, and the
judgment was alnrmed.-New York
