ACCORDED RANK
bR|TON GAVE UP
Not SO Good at Links Game
as Was Joyce Wethered,
but Tops All Today.
By FRANCIS J. POWERS.

ToR the first time 1t truly can
X be said that an American Is
l. the best woman golfer IN the
world. Miss Virginia Van VIE
Of Chicago proved her claim to that
honor when she won the United States
women's national championship for
the third consecutive year.
We have had other great woman
golfers-Mrs. Alexa Stirling Fraser
and Mrs. Glenna Collet vare-both
Of whom also won the United States
championship three times running.
But Mrs. Fraser did not engage in
the international competition neces-
sary to prove world superiority, and
1t happened that Mrs. Ware was q
contemporary to Miss Joyce wethered
Of England. unquestionably the great
est Of all woman golfers.
Miss Van VIE came to the top soon
after Miss Wethered had retired from
competition and quickly established
herself rs the best Of both United
States and Great Britain. Miss
Wethered very likely could still win
from Miss Van VIE, but since she
no longer competes the title of
worlds greatest" goes to the Chi
cago girl.
Noted for Rallies.
NUR newest three times champion
" not only Is superb SHOEMAKER,
but one Of the finest competitors
IN golf. Coming from behind to win
in championship matches is an old
story In her play.
In the finals of the 1888 champion
ship Miss Van VIE was at one time
4 down to Miss Helen Hicks, another
splendid competitor. Apparently
beaten, Miss Van VIE shot the first
nine OF the second round In the
finals in 81 strokes, and the six holes
on the back nine necessary to win
the championship In / under As. On
the last is holes Miss Van VIE was
even 4s-as fast q pace as ever was
seen In q woman's championship.
Miss Van VIE was obliged to come
from behind In the finals of the 1894
championship at Whitemarsh. Her
opponent there was Miss Dorothy
Traung. q steady young player from
San Francisco. Miss Van VIE started
poorly and found herself 3 down at
the 1rst turn, but once more staged
. strong rally and eventually won on
the thirty fifth green. During the
course Of her rally Miss Van VIE shot
the last three holes Of the third nine
In 3 under par.
Such competitive spirit is worthy of
o Jones or Hagen, and Is q further
stamp OF Miss Van Wie's greatness.
Accurate With Shets.
EISS VAN VIE is not q power
Nl full hitter, although she gets
fair distance with all Of the
longer clubs. She makes up for lack of
distance with keen accuracy in shots
to the green's and . putting touch
that seldom lacks keeness. From this
distance 1t seems likely that Miss Van
VIE may win her fourth championship
next year.
Miss Traung was q newcomer to the
national championship, but her play
at Whitemarsh established her as one
Of the best youngsters to come up in
several years. A strong hitter, this
20-year-old Californian Is remarkably
cool for one with so little major COM
petition and her game Is very sound.
With more experience she may give
California its first woman's champion.
As it stands, California did remark

Van Der Lubbe Remains in
Stupor to End, Going Un-

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LEIPZIG, Germany, January 10
Marinus Van der Lubbe. 24-year-old
Dutch stonemason. was beheaded to-
day for firing the German Reichstag
building in Berlin last February.
He had repeatedly confessed setting
the fire, but steadfastly refused to dl-
vulge any information as to whether
he had any accomplices.
Van der Lubbe had been under SEN
tence of death since December %,
when the Supreme Court convicted
him and acquitted four co-defendants
Steps through which the Dutch gov
ernment sought to gain lighter sem
tence for the young Hollander were
unavailing.
Stupor Holds TO End.
Late last night Van der Lubbe was
informed by the Leipzig prison governor
that Justice must take its course, but
the announcement failed to rouse him
from the stupor in which he remained
virtually throughout the long trial.
Van der Lubbe did not reply to the
question of whether he wanted Clergy
man to attend him on the last walk
to the guillotine-nor did he express
any special wish.
At 7:25 o'clock this morning few
strokes of the prison bell announced
that a pan was paying the extreme
penalty. Few realized, however, that 1t
was Van der Lubbe-probably the most
talked of criminal in recent years.
There had been no intimation until
the last moment that President Paul
Won Hindenburg would decline to par
don the Dutchman.
At o'clock the warden entered Van
der Lubbe's cell and told him his last
hour had come. Without saying word
Van der Lubbe arose. and, after being
shaved, was led by the prison governor
into the courtyard.
There States Attorney Werner. sew
eral physicians and IL citizens "of
good repute"-in accordance with the
law-were assembled.
Sentence Read Again.
Without showing the least emotion,
Van der Lubbe with bowed head
listened as the death sentence again
was read by Wilhelm Buenger, pre-
siding Judge during the trial.
He silently shook his head when
asked if he wanted to make state
ment.
Werner then said. "I surrender you to
the executioner."

The increase in the American pork

The Senate, by vote of 40 to 80,
today adopted a proposal to place
excise taxes on liquors from foreign
nations which are behind in their
debt payments to the United States.
BY the Associated Press.
Urging the Senate today to speed
action on the new liquor tax bill, Chair
man Harrison of the Finance Commit
tee estimated it would bring revenues
of s627 ,ooo, 900.
Democratic leaders pressed for a vote
before n;ghtfall on the measure, which
would place 81 a gallon Federal tax
on spirits.
The Senate adopted an amendment
to the bill to permit newspapers and
periodicals carrying liquor advertise
ments to circulate in dry States.
When Harrison, after explaining the
bills provisions. said the committee
rejected an amendment to lower the
beer tax from s5 to So, Senator Borah
Republican, of Idaho. prohibitionist
called attention to arguments last ses-
sion that a s5 levy would permit the
sale of scent glass of beer.
Has that happened" he asked.
"I haven't had the actual experience,
Harrison replied. but information
have received shows they haven't lived
up to that"
Baltimore Price Cited.
Senator Clark. Democrat. of Missouri
observed scent beer was available "all
over Baltimore" but Harrison said amid
laughter that was too far to 60 for a
glass of beer"
THE situation in this country is i'm
proving daily" Harrison said. I'VE are
on the road to recovery, and such legis-
lation as this will give the movement
impetus"
Leaders predicted attempts to amend
the measure would be defeated, but in
any event it will have to go back to
the House because of a Senate Finance
Committee alteration reducing the IL
cenSe fee on brewerieS from 81 900 to
$l00.
One proposed revision would make
the 1-cent stamp tax on each liquor
container applicable only to liquor in
tended for sale or for use in the manu-
facture Or production of any article in

The stamp tax was intended to show
the gallonage tax had been paid.

said, do not apply to the possession or
