Armory by a score of $-6, 6-2 in the final round of the women's doubles tournament on the Poincina courts, with the largest gallery of the week looking on. Miss Cassel and her parner were strong favorites before the match began, onwing to the greater experience of the New York-Philadelphia talr, but the Boston combination upset all the jplayers of form in the first set by battling on practically even terms with the favorites In the second set, however, Miss Walsh, who had been very ragged in her piay prentiously, settled down to something like her regular form, and Miss Cassel also injuected more aggressiveness into her work, with the resuit that Mrs. Amory and Mrs. Boardman were worn down to quick defeat in the closing session of play. ‘With the women's tourrament success- full decided, the winter colony here is ex- pectant of even more stirring play next wesk, when the men's anmwial tournament begin with about thirty players of promi- nenc entered for the singles on Monday morning.

GOMPERS' SHIPYARD PROPOSALS NOT FEASIBLE ‘Washington, navy yards Fe! o industrial plants 6.—Conversion of for the purpose of obtaining other government depa; ov accomplished only at xpense of pri- vately owned -~ factonies and, therefore, would not be of vaiue to the unemploved, Secretary Denby declared to; letter answerin, him recently b dent of the Am bor, as head of the del suggestions amuel Gompers, presi- tion represent- ing “furloughed” navy yard em ployes. Several thousands of thes: employes were given leave without payv in comse- quence of the naval agreements reached at the Washington arms conference. “It is difficult to see,” Secretary De: by said, ‘how the national unemployme: situation will be In any way alleviated even if it !s found feasible to compete In the open market with industrial plants on the outside. As to thie, I have very serious doubt of no Indus- trial plant in private life where such lib- erality is thereby in- creasing the overhead. as in the navy yards of the United Statea.” Moreover, the secretary continged, he doubted very much the wisdom of arti- ficlally keeping up “navy vards, some of which must inevitably be closed. at the expense of private yards, thereby per- haps causing the destruction of the lat- ter.” When the navy yards are not re- quired to malintain the fleet, he said, “they should be abandoned or leased to private concerns who may find employ- ment for them.” The delegation headed by Mr. Gompers submitted a program comprising fifteen proposals designed to relieve the situa- tion of the men thrown out of work. Sec- retary Denby took up the suggestions in order, explaining i most cases that the department did not’have the appropria- tions neoessary to undertake them, or lacked authority. n JAPAN IS TO RETURN 500 PATENTS TO THE GERMANS Berlin, Feb 26.—The Japanese govern- ment, which during the war confiscated a thousand German patents, has decided to return five hundred of them to the Ger- mans, selling the other five hundred to Japanese concerns, accordinz to a com- munication from “important industnial circles,” published in the Taeglische Rund- schau and the Boersen Zeftungz.” Com- plaint is made that the Jabanese attitude is without precedent and is arousing ill- feeling nad hampering re-estabiishment of desirable commerclal relations. It is charged further that the Japanese are keeping more important secrets, which has caused great damage to German man- ufacturers. “If Jepan is thinking of se- curing commercial concessions here, or hoping to co-aperate with the Germans, the yshould be more careful of German rights,” the communication adds. 9 In this connection it is reported that two thousand Japanese in Berlin in ficlal and unofficial capacities, or as stu- can Federation of La-, | dents, have been purchasimg “everytm hat is for sale.” An American official has declarsd that spanese had the advantage here over government representatves, in that they could close a deal yromply at Berlin without referring to Toilo, AUTO PLUNGED INTO RIVER: THREE WOMEN DROWNED Binghamton, N.
