tackled the team of the Acorn A. A. The
Shamrocks made a goal in the first half by
an accident. Flynn made a free kick.
Stubbs of the rival team made an effort to
kick the ball back but touched it in a way
that slightly changed the course of the ball,
and it carromed and passed between the
posts. The Acorns scored in the second half
on a kick by Landell. The teams we're

C~entrevilles elaine a Foul and Quit
the Field.

The association football game between the
Centreville A. c.. and Ashland F. c., which
took place yesterday afternoon at Ridgewood
Park, ended in a wrangle. Both sides
played cleverly in the first half, neither
scoring a goal. In the second half, Lamb
lined the bali between the uprights for a
goal. The Centrevilles refused to permit
the goal to be counted, claiming that Lamb
had committed a foul. The Captain of the
C~entrevilles appealed to the referee, and the
latter declared that the kick was a genuine
one, and the Ashlands entitled to the goal.
The Centrevilles then left the field, and the
referee decided that the Ashlands had won
the game by one goal to nothing. The
teams:-
Centreville A. C.-Bauer, Wilson, H. Fitz-
patrick, J. Fitzpatrick, Buel, Byrnes, Davi-

Tariff Conferers Considering Sliding
scale Liquor Tax.
WASHINGTON. July 16.-The tariff
conferees have had suggested to them a
plan for taxing whisky-one of the
largest revenue producing items-which
has not heretofore been considered in
either the house or senate bills. It was
proposed by one of the senators of the
conference and the sentiment toward it
within the committee is quite favor
able. The plan contemplates sliding
scale, the minimum tax being 81 per
gallon on whisky taken out of bond at
the end of five years and advancing
five cents per gallon for each year in
bond beyond FIVE years and not exceed
ing eight years. On this basis the tax
would be: Five years, 81; six years,
$1.O5; seven years, $1.10; eight years,
$1.l5.
by this arrangement the eight years
bonding period is secured by the xlistil-
lers, although it is Offset by the tax of
$l.l5 per gallon if advantage is taken
OF tho full eight years.

SwTCHMEN TAKE ACTION.

CHICAGO, July l6.-The switchmen
have taken decided action regarding the
strike. A meeting resulte4 in the fol-
lowing being promu!yated:
1--WE, the grand loard Of directors of
the Switchmen's s Mutual Aid association
of North America, now assembled at
the city of Chicago, have carefully
considered our pending strike of the
American Railway Union, and
Whereas, Our grand master, Miles
w. Barrett, did not countenance the
same, but held that all Nom bers of the
Switchmen's Mutual Aid asso citation be
governed by our constitution, be it
therefore
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
body, the grand board of directors,
assembled, to fully indorse our grand
master in his actions in the said strike.
This was signed by tho board of d.
rectors.
This is interpreted to mean that the
most authoritative body in the SWITCH
mems organization have officially dis
countenanced the strike, and the
switchmen have been the backbone of
the strikers forces, the outlook for the
DeDs-Sovereign plan for continuing the
strike is discouraging.
