After Diplomatic Tour

London, June 22.-(By A. P.)-
England gave an affectionate and
joyous welcome to the prince Of
Wales upon his return yesterday
from his third imperial tour OF
the world. London, which he left
eight months ago, greeted him with a
fervor and spontaneity behtting a
royal ambassador OF the empire re-
turning from a series OF diplomatic
triumphs.
Throughout his ride from Padding
ton station to Buckingham palace the
prince was proclaimed by jubilant
multitudes who showered upon him
salutations OF affection and loyalty.
His reception by London's millions
was exceeded in depth and emotion
only by the ardent family greeting,
when he stepped from the train. The
king grasped him by both hands and
the queen embraced him with
motherly affection. Princess Mary,
who was married during his absence,
discarding stilted royal decorum.
threw both arms around him and
hugged him. Dowager Queen Alex
andra and other relatives then en-
braced him.
So as to give the public the fullest
view of the royal idol, there were no
troops along the route. but 1000 po-
licemen preserved order and kept the
lines of traffic open. When the prince
arrived at the palace an even more
intimate greeting was given him by
the members of his family. A great
banquet was given in his honor to-
night.

Watson Of Indiana Charges
Big Stores Oppose Tariff
Because Of Excessive
Profits.
Simmons Replies Sharply

Washington, June 22.-Anothel
address in the'series planned by re.
publieans in charge OF the tariff bill
designed to show that importers and
big department stores are fighting
that measure because they do not
want their profits cut down, was de-
livered today in the senate by Sena-
tor Watson, republican, Indiana.
1t drew a sharp reply from Senator
Simmons, democratic leader, in the
tariff fight.
Exhibiting a score OF ioreign-madc
articles Senator Watson explained
they had been purchased by govern
ment agents in New York al prices
ranging from oS per cent to l,74J
per cent above the cost landed in
this country as shown by Official
records. He argued this showed the
importers and department stores
were behind 4 propaganda to defea,
the pending bill.
Attack Called Ridiculous.
Senator Simmons in his reply de-
clared that as a tariff argument
Senator Watsons speech and one OF
a similar nature made last week by
Senator McCumber. republican,
North Dakota, were "preposterous
and ridiculous" because the cost and
selling prices OF American-made
goods comparable to the imported
articles. exhibited had not been
given. He exhibited some articles
made in this country and abroad and
produced letters stating that the inn
porters' sale prices and the Ameri-
can manufacturers sale prices were
about the same. .
Brandishing a sporting rifle OF
modern type above his head. the In
diana senator remarked that the fig.
ures on its cost and selling price
showed what was being done, but he
was interrupted by Senator Smith.
democrat, South Carolina. who in
quired if Senator Watson intended
using the gun to reinforce his argu-
ment. Senator Watson returned
that his argument would stand alone.
Rifle Cost 90 Cents.
The rifle cost 90 cents in Germany,
the senator said. adding it was
valued at Sl.8O, including duty at
New York and sold later there at re-
tail for SIS. Senator Joaes, demo-
crat. New Mexico, took issue with
Senator Watson concerninE the for
eign cost, declaring that the invoice
must have shown a record in marks
instead OF cents. and that as a result
tie senator's figures, meant MOTH
ing"
Senator Watson retorted that no
invoice could get by customs author
ities if made out other than in United
States coin, and added after 10
minute interchange of argument:
The senator from New Mexico
(Mr. Jones) has been talking here
for weeks. This is my speech and
intend to talk some myself and
not have all the time taken up by
Others"
Nevertheless, interruptions con-
tinued with growing frequency and
the presentation OF articles was ma
slowed.
Statement Brings Laugh.
Senator Watson presented an
electric hair dryer which cost S35
and sold for $3.50 for which, Sena
tor Watson said. unfortunately my
friend from Kentucky Senator
Stanley has no use" Senators
laughed as Mr.. Stanley rubbed his
bald spot. -
