HOLLAND WITHDRAWS
Wiirblcdon. Enc July in. William

their singles matches in the Davis Cup

4-0. C-l. 0-3, 0-1, nnd Johnston beat
J. Cecil Parke. 0-4. 0-1, 2-0, 3-0, 0-2.
The competition had aisumed an even
more important nspect than it was ex
pected to have, owing to the fact that
Holland, the only other country re
maining in the contest, had withdrawn
from tho final round. The "British-
American match, therefore, became the
final, qualifying the winner to challenge
Australasia, holder of the cud.

Vito Had Passport Troubles in Europe, So
Signed on as Member of Crew, Fellow

Thcodoro Kittay Vito, twenty-five
years old, n Russian operatic singer
who appeared hero in 1017 with the
Metropolitan Opera Co., has arrived in
this port as a deckhand on the freight
er Western Bcllo from Lisbon.
Tho temperamental artist, whoso
tenor was th'e delight of New York
society matrons three seasons ago, was
dressed in stained dungarees when the
shipping board vessel reached its dock
at Pier 78, South.
His long, slender bands were red
dened from tbo work of scrubbing tho
decks of tho steamship j and but for the
fine quality of his voice when ho spoke
in broken English it was difficult to
distinguish him from other members of
the crew.
Vito appeared in Philadelphia in
"Iris," in 1017. His career wot spon
sored by Mrs. Edwin Broking, of New
York.
Had Passport Troubles
Last year he went to Europe to tour
tho principal capitals of tho continent.
Ho bad taken out only his first papers
for American citizenship and so had
to obtain passports every time he cross
ed an international boundary.
Finally, after nn engamement in Lis
bon, Portugal, lie found it virtually
impossible to go from there to Spain.
In desperation he went to the Amer
ican ambassador at Lisbon and told
him of his predicament.
Thomas Birch, the ambassador, nd
viscd the singer to return to America
at onco and become a citizen of this
country.
"But what would you do?" asked
tho tenor. "There is no passenger
boat from Lisbon.'
"That's all right," Ambassador
Birch replied. "There's an American
freighter in the harbor now that will
land you safe and sound in Philadel
phia." Captain Harry Vcrcy, of the Western
Belle, was not permitted to accept Vito
as a passenger.
"But wc need a deckhand," he said as
an nftcrthought.
"I'll take It," said Vito, who is now

according to two distinguished Japanese
educators who are visiting this city.
Y. Sanadi. professor of education nt

have spent several days in this city, vis
iting the University of Pennsylvania and
the administrative offices of the Board
of Education, nnd spending much time
iu tlie librnries of these institutions.
Mr. Nuiindi. discussing teachers' sal
aries, sniii there was a national move
ment on in Jnpan, especially among the
elementary school teachers, to get high
er salaries.
1iw Salaries in Japan
Elementary school teachers In Japau
receive fifty yon n month, he explained,
equivalent to $23 a month in American
money. What lie called "middle school"
teacher- get 100 yen a mouth, equiva
lent to S.'O, while collego teachers get
2500 j en a year, equivalent to $1250 a

"Following tho war," ho said, "liv

Mr. Sanadi said thnt n single per.-on

full Milne for every yen, could subsist

other hand, bn said, n married nuin,
unless extremely careful n expendi
tures, could not live nnd support n fam
ily mi tho -alary paid In tho elementary
schools.
Ho (-villained that the imperial pnv.
eminent supports four colleges for the
training of higher school teachers, two
for women nnd two for men, one each
in ToKiu, one for women nt Vmvi nmi
one for .men nt Heroshiirra. There are
about .HI students, he said, belnc

Nippon's Plan of Education
The colleges, ho said, are attached
to the Kindergarten, olementnrv n,,,i

have M'wnty normal colleges in Japan

Strang might have been given n total
sentence of twenty-two years had Judge
Martin chosen to give him the full pen
alty for nil thc indictments to which
lie pleaded guilty.
He pleaded guilty to four indict
ments, consisting of about 1000 counts,
charging larceny, embezzlement, con

"f Strang's enrlv life: thc
fact lie had been nn orphan, raised under
pircumstames not likely to make him

Radnor Baggage Man Remem
bers Handling Package Found
Pierced by Bullet
WAS "VALUED" AT $500
The diamond necklace sent to Mrs
Gurnce Munn, of Radnor, which was
shattered bv n revolver bullet, was given
a value of S."00 when it was turned
over to the express company. Mrs.
Munn values it nt $10,000.
L. W. Gocbcl, assistant baggage
master at the Radnor station, who had
charge of the package there, said today
the small valuation had been made by
the shippers.
Mr. Goebel says he has a distinct
recollection of the package, which he
handled about the second week in .Tune.
It was in perfect condition and was
scaled, he declared.
Ho said there was no sign of a hole

O. ff. Darlincton. ncent of the Amcri

confirmed Goebcl's account.
Thinks Servants Fenred Bomb
H. A. Campbell, of tho Bureau of
Mines, United States army, and an ex
pert on explosives, saw the bullet-holed
case in New York. Ho said thc pistol
from which the bullet was fired had been
Rint: nt. n distance nf noventv-fivo feet.
He also made the significant statement
that the jewel box was uuwrapped when
the bullet was fired.
This conclusion reached by Campbell
led the New York detectives to state
that some emplojo of the Munus fecrcd
tho box contained a bomb upon the ar
rival of the case. These employes, ac
cording to this theory. 'set the package
on snmo risiug ground outside the Munn
home nnd far away to prevent any dam
age and fired the shot into the box.
On the other hand Ournee Munn at
his Ventnor homo gave his opinion thnt
a bullet from tho gun of the armed
guard in the express car had been ne
sidently exploded. This bullet from the
pistol struck tho jewel case and had
caused .the damage.
Accident, Says Mr. Munn
"I know there wore no shots of nny
kind." 'he. said, "fired at our house in
Radnor. The bullet therefore must have
entered the case while the necklace was
in transit. You see, it was sent by in
sured express. There is an armed guard
iu each of these cars to prevent robbery.
"I believe that one of those pistols
accidentally discharged sent the bullet
into the jewel ense and smashed up the
necklace pretty badly.
"I did not receive the package my
self when it first came to Raduor. But
when it wns finally handed to me I
noticed the hole, in the case. I returned
it .it once to Tiffany's, and wns present
when tho box was opened. They can
tell more about tho matter than I can."
"The necklace," said Mrs. Muun,
who is tho daughter of Rodman Wana
maker, and the granddaughter of John
Wnnamaker. "was a ory large nnd
beautiful one and belonged to Mrs.
Charles A. Munn, I don't know how
much it i n-t. but I believe it is worth at
least $1(1.000.
"My hii-tunu icit tne nerkiacc vviin

"I was not homo when the package
was received. Two of the diamonds
damaged wore among the lurgost in the
string. The bullet was found in the
box and nothing hud been takeu from
the package."
At Tiffany s the ofhcinls were reti
cent to discuss the mutter. Other dia
mond experts inM ted, though, that it
is virtually impossible to shatter a dia
mond with a .".S-o.ilibor bullet. These
experts contend that the bullet could

"i
By the Associated Press "
Spa, Belgium, July 1C Tho Ger
man delegates at the conference here
hove agreed in principle with the terms
submitted to them by the Allies as to
Germany's deliveries of cool, but will
ask for tho explanation of certain arti
cles In the allied note. They made this
announcement just before entering into
conference with thc allied ministers this
afternoon.
The allied ultimatum yesterday de
manded a "yes" or "no" answer to tha
coaldcmand by 11 o'clock this morn- ,
ing, but the Germans this morning
sent word to thc Supremo Council that
the renlv would tint ho mn,l Virnr a
o'clock this afternoon, at which time tha
conierencc oegan.
From what could be learned prior to
the conference the thing that was stand
ing in thc way of full acceptance by the
Germans of the allied terms was tho
clause providing for occupation of tho
Ruhr Valley unless the coal deliveries
reached a total of 0,000,000 tonS by
October 15.
Dr. Walter Simons, the German for
eign minister, told his colleagues when
they met to confer over the allied con
ditions that this subject had not been
mentioned during his conversation with
Premiers Lloyd George nnd Millerand
yesterday, when a verbal agreement was
virtually roached. The Germans, "it
appears, were greatly annoyed to find
it in thc tejet of the terms handed tbcm
in the note of last night.
Chancellor 'Fehrcnbach and Doctor
Simons spent a part of this morning
placing wreaths on tho groves of Ger
man soldiers who had been buried at
Spa.
Doctor Simons, late yesterday, ap
peared measurably reconciled to tbo
Allies' solution. Tension also was

greatly relaxed at German headquar
ters. Premier Lloyd George seemed to be
in good spirits last evening, but when
asked bv a correspondent if-he thought
the Germans would nccept the allied de-
mands, said: , '
"I cannot sny. uoctor Simons is a
reasonable opponent, but be has in-". '
tatiablo men with him."
The protocol which the Germans wers
asked to sign today provides that
they must furnish 2,000.000 tons of coal
monthly, and if by October 15, 1020,
they have not furnished 0,000.000 tons
the Allies will occupy the Ruhr. A
treaty price will bo paid for the coal,
plus five marks gold a ton as a pre
mium for screening into different grades,
which premium will be applied to the
purchase of foodstuffs.
Conditions as to Upper Sileslan coal
are set forth as follows :
A mixed reparations commission will
be appointed and later a permanent
committee to investigate the working
conditions of the miners. It is further
stipulated that the difference between
seventy marks a ton and the world
price of coal is to be loaned to Ger
many by the various allied powers in
the proportion of sixty-two, ranee:
twenty-two. Great Britain, nnd eight
