Newport, II. l., Sept. 1.-Catching the
champion In the doldrums, and playing
with sustained brllllancy, X. Norris Will
liams, End, Of Philadelphia and Harvard
to-day snatched the chief lawn tennis
honor OF the country from Maurice E.
Mclaughlin Of san Francisco, who had
held It for two years. Williams' victory
was In straight sets. 6-3, Sc. :0-s
The result was one of the greatest
surprises Of the athletic year. Williams
own explanation was the one generally
accepted by all who saw the contest.
Mac was off his game" he said.
But Mclaughlin was no farther under
his own game than Williams above the
brand of tennis which he had previously
displayed. All Williams shots seemed to
come through. Most of the champion 9
landed in the net or out of court. The
drives of the 1913 title holder lacked the
usual effect. His forcefu smashes We're
easy for Williams, who drove them back
with even greater vigor And to cap all
the tactics Of the Harvard man were
fully as good and at times better than
those Of the Californian. The first set
was very quickly played as only one
game went to deuce. williams ran the
second set up to three games to love,
through McLoughlins errors. Then his
nets and outs gave McLoughlin a chance
to tie the score at 3-a!l. The next six
games alternated, but Williams after win
ming the 18th game drove the champion
into deep court From there McLough-
lin was forced into making nets and outs
giving tn set to Williams
vel. B,o
the first contest in the third set on vii.
lams' service, it was felt that McLough-
lin had found himself again. After that
the games alternated on the service unit
the 18th when Mclaughlin broke through
and gained a lear of to on Williams
service.
In the 10th game Mclaughlin was with.
in two points Of the set when his three
nets and a placement by Williams again
tied the score at eight games all. Ther
the 1913 champion faded away.
The crowd saw the shift of the tcnnit
, crown from the authenticated Califor

RIGHT Of j. s. To
BUYMERCHANT MEN
bEy0 N D QUESTION
So Asserts Secretary McAdOo--
Country Can Rest Assured
of Absolute Neutrality,
He Says.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The right of the
United States to buy merchant ships OF
any nationality for neutral uses cannot
be disputed by any nation, declared Sec
rotary McAdoo of the treasury depart
ment to-day. before the House merchant
marine committee, supporting the admin
istration merchant marine bill. Mr.
McAdoo refused, however, to discuss tho
diplomatic phases of the situation when
asked If protests had been received from
Great Britain and France against the
possible government purchase of German
vessels.
Hearings on the bill We're concluded
to-day and it will be taken up to-mor-
row for immediate committee action. An
carly report TO the House Is expected.
Secretary McAdoo heartily endorsed
the Alexander bill. which provides for
the organization of a 100000 corpora
ton with power to buy. build and operate
ships in the foreign trade and the gov
ornmcnt as majority stock holder. lie
said that as some of the lines to be
established probably would be operated
at "a loss, private capital would not be
attracted the government probably sup
plying the entire capital.
1T is stated that payment for the Ger
man ships would be in the nature of sup
| plying funds to n belligerent nation.
observed Representative Saunders.
"The ships are not owned by the Ger
man government They are owned by
private citizens and the money would
bc paid to those citizens, not to the gov
eminent answered Mr.. McAdoo.
| There is no more punctilous citizen
of the United States with respect to neu-
trality," he continued, than the presi
dent who would be the chief rcpresen
tative of the government in the com
pany to he organized under this bill. w,
can rest assured of absolute neutrality
The secretary assorted that the gov
eminent would be exactly i'm the sam,
position as a private stakeholder, so IA
as international conditions were con
ccrncd and that the question of sovereign
ty would never be raised in a priz
court
A letter from William NJ. Coates. presi
dent of the Philadelphia board of trade
was read, protesting against the bill anc
recommending direct subsidy to build VI

THE EVENING STORY.
Luncheon for One.
Copyright. 1914. by W. Werner.

JOY Frisbee was so miserable that she
made no effioit to veil her feelings as she
sauntered along State street that crisp
spring morning. The previous evening,
for the eighteenth time in their three
months engagement she and sam Touhy
had hopelessly quarreled. And this quarrel
was fatal
Sam had insisted that now, since vom-
en- had the ballot. she should vote. She
had declared that she'd do no such thing
she was far too busy embroiderinS
lingerie for her trousseau. Then sam
had rejoned. altogether too heatedly for
a lover. that for consistency sake. in view
of the fact that she had read papers and
had talked for the past year before SUI
frage organizations. she ought to vote
With a lovers sympathy. Sam should
have realized that her head ached furi-
ously. from having delivered. that very
noon. one of those selfSame talks TO a
group of workers in a steam laundry He
should have known that she hadn't
meant at all that he was cola-5iooded
tyrant. and that he should never force
her to do thing against her will
She had snatched off his ring and had
thrown il across the table to him. When
she heard it roll upon the waxed floor
JOYS heart had given a sick little slump.
and she had run up to her room only
to save herself from turning back con-
tritely and having sam soothe away the
ache in her temples.
However. if sam persisted in being so
utterly stupid-well. as she had told him,
she would never speak to him again.
Never.
and could not vagrantly stand still. Joy
meandered about noon into SabinS Grill.
She glided to a small side table, in the
wake of d happy looking usher Choos-
ing the seat that faced the wall, she
dropped wearily into it,
A carmine Tipped waitress. dainty and
trim in prescribed white and blue. came
Immediately to JOY. Joy cultivated a
poisoning dislike for her on the spot
Just why couldn't she be left alone for a
little while? Why did menu have to
be showed under her nose?
Joy droned over the card but she had
strong doubts as to whether a chef lived
who could coax back her jaded appetite.
AS she was ambling through the bill
of soups-how she hated soup!-she no
ticed from under her lowered lids that
the happy looking usher had placed on
the floor beside her table. a suitcase and
travelling bag. On these some man had
quickly deposited topcoat and UNI
brella.
Though her eyes We're impassively low
cred. JOY saw a man take the seat op-
posite her. She then half glanced up
TO take a bored survey of the newcomer.
"Sa- m -o-h-h-h--Sam-'. mumbled
JOY in a smothered voice. She half rose.
grasping the edge of the table for sup
sport. Sam looked at her levelly, d coolly
and thoroughly curious stranger.
Joy was half piqued, half relieved and
completely mortified. Her face famed.
and she sank back in her chair, steady
ing her lip with her teeth.
The carmine Tipped waitress arranged
the silver on the table in Il casual fash
ion. As she did SO She stealthily watched
her patrons.

she at length suggested. Though Joy
