' Doubt ns to the fate of tlio plan "to

bonus ' put of n propound advance of
$700,000 by the. Philadelphia Savings
Fund. Society has boon Intensified by
. nn Opinion given the Ronrd of Edit-
ration by former Judge Theodore F.
Jenkins, that thin sum oonnot be legally
borrowed in ndvnnce of the $2,000,000
loan.
He does bold thnt under the school
I code the board may replace the $700,000
appropriated out of current expenses
for repalrR w Itli money obtained by a
permanent loan.
'One great difficulty seems to He In
' the fact that the time limit set by the
Savings Fund Society for the loan has
expired nnd that it mny not be further
renewed.
George W. Norrls. governor of the
Federal Reserve llnnk and n member
of the citizens' committee which under
took to secure the S700.000 advance, ex
pressed regret nt the opinion of Mr.
Jenkins.
Lauds Committee Work
"The committee has labored hard.
he xaid, "to find n way to meet the
. V - . - .
problem of pnying the tca.hrrs more
money nt the earliest possible oppor-1
tunity nnd finally succeeded in evolving
a plan which would have solved it. Hut
after all our hard work the Hoard of
Kducatlon simply backed and filled on
our proposition without doing any-
thing.

"We have done nil tliat we can no.

am through with the proposition."
E. Pusev Fassmore, president of the
Bank of North Ameriia and another
member of the committee, wns hopeful
that a meeting of the committee could
bo called shortly to consider' whether
anything further could be done in evolv
ing a plan to solve the teachers' salary
question.
Hope wns expressed by Maurice Fels,
also of the committee, that Mr.
Jenkins's opinion might be interpreted to
Have only u temporary effect, and that
Within a few weeks the plan could go
through without any question of legal
r any, other kind of hitches.
Kids for Loan July SI
- Rlda will bo onened In connection
With the 2,000.000 loan on July 21.
and the settlement is to be made on
August 2. On that date, if the loan is
.'successfully floated, it will be possible
to replace the repulr item expenditure
of the 1020 budget with the $700,000.
Without that amount, however, ac
cording to the report of the finance com
mittee adopted at the last meeting, the
board has on hand $210,000 nnd con
templates an arrangement .With tho
' Xand Title nnd Trust Co. for the trans
fer of three properties which will give
them $r.00,000 in cash.
' It was pointed out by officials that
should the board at its next meeting,
July 13, decide the manner of distribu
tion, this sum of $700,000 could be
immediately given to the teacher-, nnd
that means would be found whereby
they could be immediately rendu d. re
gardless of the fact that tin schools
have closed for tho summer.
The effect of the opinion of Mr. Jen
kins is to delay the final distribution
of money available for the increasing
of teachers' salaries until August 2.

World l d I llle
Contlnurd from Vtinr One
opinion that when at the top of his
game Tilden is the finest pinyer tne
world has ever produced.
Hae Met Heforo
Tilden nnd Patterson had met once
before. I.nst summer after the Austra
lians had competed in the Americnn
singles championship- and lost nt the
Wcstsido Tennis Club, lorest Hills.
L. 1., a series of Amerienn-Australian
matches were arranged and phi veil. It
was in that exhibition series that Pat
terson and Tilden met. Tilden lost the
first srt, f!-0. but lifted his game to
heights thereafter thnt swept Patterson
off his feet, the American winning the
next three sets, 0-.1, t'..4. 0-7. In the
doubles Tilden and Johnston, playing
togteher for the first time, heat Patter
son and Hrookes. 0-4. 3-C. 0-4, 0-.1.
It is interesting to note what Patter
son did against the other Americans
with whom he competed. In the Ameri
can nntionnl doubles tournament at the
l.ongwood ('ticket Club. Patterson and
Ttrookes won tho titln liv nnntine Tilden
and Vincent Itichnrds in the challenge
round. S-0. O-.'f. 4-0, 4-0. 0-2.
Previously the Australian eliminated
William M. Johnston, who later won
the national singles, and Peek Griffin,
another California player They also
defeated in the second round It N. Wil
liams, 2d, and Watson 51. Wnshburn.
Beaten by Johnston
In the nntional singles at Forest Hills
Patterson wns eliminated in the fourth
round hv William M. Johnston in four
sets. The score was 0-2, S-(l, 0-4. 7-,".
In the third round Patterson defeated
Wnt.son 51. Washburn, 7-.'., 1-0, C-l.
3-0, (1-1 j in the si , -nnd round he won
from his teammate, Randolph Ijycett,
by default, and in the first round Pat
terson eliminated tln veteran Frederick
15. Alexander in n five -set match, 4-C,
3-0. 0-1. 0-2. 0-2.
One of the interesting sidelights on
today's match was that isith men plned
the American style game. Patterson is
not a stylist, but employs the hard-hitting,
hammering tactics that are used in
the I'nlted States, particularly on the
Pacific coast Patti rsou bns a remarkable,
back hand. IIq takes n full swing, lilt'
ting the ball with tremendous power
almost shoulder high with the same
force of his racquet as he uses for ills
forehand drive With this great
strength. Patterson not only gives the
ball great pace, but puts un annoying
top-spin to it.

is a paperhnnger in I.nnsdowne With

Moore Summons Councilmon
for Tuesday Morning, Follow
ing Tour of Frankford "L"
TIRES OF INEFFICIENCY
After making a tour of the Frnnk
ford elevated line yesterday with Di
rector Twining, of the Department of
City Transit, 5Inyor 5Ioore Immedi
ately issued a call for n conference with
members of city Council.
As the meeting was called for next
Tuesday morning almost nt the very
moment that hearing of the city's pro
test against the proposed fare tnerense
of the Philadelphia Hapi1 Transit Co.
begins before the Public Service Com
mission, it is believed the eouneilmnnlc
conference will concern the transit sit
uation. Those close to the 5rnvor sny he Is
tired of tlie constant quibbling nnd lost
motion iu regard to bringing about ef
ficiency In the transit system, nnd pur
poses to tnke every step possible to ex
pedite matters.
As the city is planning to eneneo n
corps of experts to make vnluotlnns of
the I'hiladelphia Kan hi Trans t Co.
lines and their cost of operation, it will
be necessary to push nn ordinance
through Council to provide the money
as quickly as possible. It is also neces
sary to obtain quick action regarding
the future of the Frankford elevated.
Hy acquainting members of Council
Willi the conditions the 5Inyor hopes,
it is said, to have the necessary legis
lation pushed through without ob
stacles. 5Iost of the members of Coun
cil are anxious to have the transit
question settled dellnitely.
When the hearings of the trnn.slt.pro-
test open heiore the commission one
of tlie chief objections to be made by
the city against the proposed fnre ad
vance will he that it is discriminatory.
Tills objection will be made on the
ground that while riders In some sec
tions of tlie city may ride seven or
eight miles for live cents, others,
through operation of the excliunge ticket
plan, will have to pay eight cents for
ridliiT virtually a few blocks,
The qiieston of rentals pnid underly
ing companies w ill probably he nrgued
at the same hearings called for tlie
protest of the city ngainst the fare
increase.
This opinion, expressed today by
those comei'Mint with the situation, is
based ou the altitude of niemhersj of the
Public Service Commission at the hear
ing last Monday.
Surprise was expressed by the com
missioner that the city iu its protest
ngainst higher fares lind not joined
forces with the Tinted Husiness 5len'fl
Association, which is protesting the
high rentals question.

IwIh Pcct Wilmerdlng, the divorcee
whoso nnme in now conspicuous in the
Rlwcll tragedy, ndvnnced a startling
theory yestcrdny to tho authorities to
account for the mysterious murder of
the whist wizard. Disclaiming any di
rect knowledge of the crime or, the
Incidents leading to it, Mrs. Wilmer
dlng paid:
"Toe Klwril was n cold, calculating
kind of a mnn, but withal attractive
and n plensant companion. Hut there

knew him nt Palm Peach, but her
parents were very' strict, nnd I don't
think she would go to Klwcll's house

"It is not difficult to think how Joe
Elwell would net in extreme danger,
say, in a fight for his life. He wns
very, very cool-headed nnd would weigh
tho chances carefully but quickly. That
was tho way of his mind. He was not
n craven. Joe Elwell was not a cow
ard, though, as I havo said, he was
sensitive to fear."

The identity of "5Iiss Wilson,"
otherwise known ns the "Pink Lady,'1
was discovered yesterday by District
Attorney Hwanii, who named her ns
5Ilss Viola Kraus, divorced wife of

versations with Mr.- Churchill nnd other
British officials. It was brought from
5Ioscow by the British labor delegates
who paid a visit to Russia this spring.

the document proves Mr. Churchill
"tricked the country into making war
upon Kussln, concealing from his col
leagues nnd the country the fact thnt
he wns making terms with cznrist
gcnernls."
It charges that tho British secretary
of state for war used the decision to

nnd General Denlkln. The newspaper
says 5Ir. Churchill agreed to General
Golovlnc's plnn for raising an nruiy to
aid General Denlkln "under the cover
of the Red Cross."
General Golovlnc's report, ns printed
hero today, represents 5Ir. Churchill
ns saying to him : "I nm myself corrying
out Admiral Kolchnk's orders," and
concludes by asserting: "Great Bri
