vandalia, O., Aug. 24.-(UP).- The grand American handicap championship, most coveted of all honors in the trapshooting world. remained in the United States to- day. It was saved from loss to a Canadian, however, only by the narrowest margin in its 36-year history.

Both men shot from the 20-yard mark.

CONNECTICUT NET PLAYER IN WOMEN
 DOUBLES FINALE
Mrs. Dorothy Andrus of Stamford Paired Against
 Helen Jacobs, Partner
BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Stan Correspondent)

DL IhGNNL MCAiLANAOAehN
 United Press Stan Correspondent
 Chestnut Hill, Mass, Aug. A. (UP) Miss Helen Jacobs and her chop and Mrs. Sarah Palfrey and her matchless volleys were slight favorites today to defeat the Cali eornia- Connecticut team of Caro- lin Babcock and Mrs. Dorothy An- drus in the women's final of the 54th annual national tennis dou- bles championship at the Longwood Cricket club.
 The match, which will be sand wichsd between the mems semi finals, Is an exact duplicate of last years championship round when Miss Jacobs and Mrs. Palfrey de- feated Miss Babcock and Mrs. An drus in three blistering sets. To- days battle Is likely to go the eull route, for the opposing teams, In busting the two British Wight man cup teams yesterday, were at the top of their games. The most impressive showing was made by the challengers in whipping the Wimbledon champions, Kay Stam- mers and Freda James, In straight se,,.
 Miss Babcock never played bet ter doubles than she did against the English girls. Her volleying was decisive, her smashing carried authority, and she served beauti- fully. Mrs. Andrus was a model of steadiness and an unflagging court-coverer.
 While Miss Summers and Miss James are the all-England titlists, they probably are not as fine u team as Nancy Lyle and Evelyn Dearman, who fell before the champions. This boxom pair gave Miss Jacobs and Mrs. Fabyan a genuine battle, but in the end bowed to superior power and ex- perience.
 The mems semi-finals promise the keenest tennis of the tourna- ment. In the opening match the Davis cuppers and top-seeded boys, Winner Allison and Johnny Van Ryn, win meet the sensational new combine of Henry Culley and Wilmer Hines. In the second joust Frankie Parker and Frank Shields will engage Donald Budge and Gene Mako.
 Van Ryn and Allison and Park CT and Shields are favored, but by the narrowest of margins. The beyS are really levelling in the doubles this year, for in addition to the glory of the title, they know that the outcome will have a de- cided bearing on the choice of a tandem for next years Davis cup team.
 Culley and Hines, who hum bled Berkeley Bell and Gregory Man sin with ridiculous ease yesterday, figure to give the veterans, Alll- son and Van Ryn, . whale of fight. The South Carolinian and the Californian have few weak. nesses, and their court craft Is re- markable for 90 inexperienced . team.
 Budgs and Mako, who have cured themselves of getting mad with each other because of errors in play, will find Shields service their biggest trouble. The New Yerksr is hitting the ball more wickedly than ever and against Roderich Menzel and Enrique Maier yesterday, established some sort of c record when he lost but seven points in the eleven games he served.
 Parker, while he is still handi- capped by the lack of . real fore hand drive, is much smoother doubles player than he was a year ago. His volleying is much better, as IS his service.

nounced this morning by Lewis S.

added, a campaign will be started
to have all liquor taxed at the
source instead of at retail outlets
with the possibility that a special
session may take up the question
before the next regular general as

Mr.. LAURA admitted that it will
take statewide action to bring the

form, but he said that the Con.

II have no sympathy for Philip
Lipschitz," said Bernard Schulz OF
New Haven, leader of the Water
town Undergarment com p a y
strikers, this morning after 1t had
been learned that Lipschitz in an
informal statement had asserted
that he was sorry over the condi-
tons that brought about the gen.
eral walkout. Lipschitz, president
of the WATERFOWL Arm, has been at
the plant Of the Berkliff Under
garment company on Fifth avenue
in New York city for the past two
weeks. This location has also been
subject to picketing by union mem
bers who have been strengthened
by several local girls.
Indication that the local firm has
been placed in almost questionable
circumstances since the beginning
OF the strike was stressed by union
leaders today. It has been learned
on good authority that all Connec-
ticut undergarment manufacturers
plan to sever all connections with
the WATERFOWL company. This ac-
ton is said to follow an assertion
made by the state labor federation
that Lipschitz may as well make
up his mind to operate a union
shop in Connecticut or go out of
business. That the firm IL It should
operate under the union will be To-
Gated in this city seems certain.
The company still holds a five
year lease on the Mill street fac
tory where It's equipment is locat-
ed. Although Attorney Herman J..

firm, announced last week that the

transactions must be recorded on
approved accounting forms for the

countant will examine all meme
bers' books monthly.
To illustrate his contention that
the tax burden on the retailer Is
too high, MIR. LAURA declared that
the consumer pays approximately
SIS cents in taxes on every drink
he buys containing 20-cent shot"
Of alcoholic liquor. This includes
the charge for state tax, state fee
and federal tax stamps.
BY taxing liquor at the source,
he contends, the consumer will be
given better break" in prices.
The tax as computed by the state
tax commission, he emphasizes, is
on the gross" business done in
the liquor sales department OF q
restaurant, tavern or hotel. The
result is that retailer finds It inn
possible to segregate such items as
ginger ale, fruits, soda water and
such mixing ingredients from the
liquor itself, and actually finds
himself paying 4 per cent tax on
ginger ale, ETC., as we'll AZ on IL
quor, all of which tends to make
charges to the consumer too high.

Mr.. Simons letter follows:
New Haven, Conn.
July 30th,, 1895
Editor of the Waterbury Democra
Waterbury, Conn.
Dear Sir,
I should like the privilege
Of answering through your pa
/ n the very pretty assertions
of Messers Hinkleman and
Brainard who represent the
Socialist Party of Waterbury;
remarks appearing in the press
of Saturday, July 27th. Such
brazen mendacity cannot be
allowed to pass without ex-
posture. The Socialist Party To-
cal in Waterbury have appar-
emily taken the advice of Ber-
nard Shaw that one must "as-
sert and reassert," hoping
with fingers crossed that,
somehow, what is asserted We
hemently must be the truth.
1t is a fundamental law Of
evidence that a mans own tes-
timony against himself is the
best evidence possible. For
tunately the Socialist Party
F.. may be placed in the witness
chair.
Messers Hinkelman and
Brainard are first of all igno-
rant of the fact that it was
not I but Mr.. Michael P. clean
of South Norwalk, another
member of the Socialist Labor
Party who SO appropriately
described their party. Such
a little thing as getting the
principals mixed up flows ma
turally from the Socialist Par
TVS lack of principle.
-Iessers Hinkleman and
Brainard, doing away while
they talked to the reporter,
asserted that they challenged
Mr.. Simon to debate
but that he accepted it, not on
behalf of himself, but on be-
half of Quinn" Mr.. Hinkle-
mans signed letter states that
they hereby challenge the S.
L. p. to debate :" Mr.. Hink-
Gilman was undoubtedly sleep
ing at his typewriter while Ar
chic the Cockroach hoped up
and down on the keys. AL
though the Socialist Party
meant to challenge me, Ar
chic, mischievously pounded
out the letters as. L. p"
Blame it on Archie!
Messers Hinkleman and
Brainard state that the So
,cialist Labor Party accepted
the challenge with various
''provisos" such as that they
secure Allen, McLevy, or
Thomas to debate their side;
that they provide a hall and
publicity; and that the re-
ceipts be split $3.50. Even the
scoundrel in Shakespeare

an oath in heaven:

But Messers Hinkleman and

suggestion is that the S. P.
