JAPANESE REGRET
LANCDON INCIDENT
Government Sends Assurance
That Repetition Will Be
Made Impossible
PREPARATION TO BE ASKED
BY the Associated Press

Washington. Jan. 14.-Satisfactory
assurances by the Japanese Govern
ment that its regrets over the killing
Of Lieutenant W. II. Langdon. of the
cruiser Albany. by japanese sentry at
Vladivostok. would be supplemented by
convincing proof of its intention to
avert similar incidents were awaited to-
day by the State Department.
Confidence that the japanese Govern.
ment would make adequate rcparntion
was expressed by the department in a
note dispatched last night to the Toxic
foreign office. The communication was
sent by Acting Secretary Davis after he
had read Admiral GlCavCs' report of tho
action taken by General Oi to make
similar incidents impossible in the
future.
In view Of the official expressions of
regret and of the promptncss with
which the japanese authorities acted,
government officials were inclined to re-
gard the end of the incident as in sight.
but there was no indication that it would
be closed without more definite aSsur-
pnces from Japan what measures would
be taken to prevent further clashes.
The text of the message sent to the
Japanese Government has not been
made public, but it is understood the
State Department reminded the Japa-
nese that while the shooting OF Lieu
tenant LangdOn was the first instance
Of a fatality. there had been numerous
cases of encounters between the Japa-
nese and American military, and that
reports received here Indicated that IN
too many of them the japanese ap-
IN
Japanese were urged, it was said, to
adopt Immediately such measures as
would prevent further friction.
The facts in the case of Lieu
Tenant LangdOn'S death aS they were
received by the American Government
were recited to the japanese foreign
Office and an intimatiOn was conveyed
that prompt acknowledgment OF them
md proper assurances as TO remedial
reparatiOns would he expected.
lieutenant LangdOn's ante mortem
statement that he did not fire upon the
sentry until he was himself shot in the
hack was corrOborated in report re-
ceived at the japanese embassy here
yesterday. although an earlier othcial
report issued in Toxic agreed with the
sentry's version of the ahalr that ne
was first fired upon.
Secretary Daniels intimated today
that he might suggest to the state De
partmpnt that the matter of payment OF
an indemnity to Lieutenant Langdon :
family be taken up with the japanese
Government.
Mr.. Daniels said there were plenty
of preCedentS for such action. he add e
ed no provision was made by law tor
any pension from the Navy Department
for the officers dependents. If the OH :
Ger carried war risk insurance. his de-
pendeuts would receive payments
through the War Risk Bureau.

PHILADELPHIA women are
i awaiting just about this time the
announcement of the annual Closing
Out Sale at the shop of Bonwit
Teller d Co., Chestnut and Thir-
teenth Streets. They know from
past experience what splendid val
ues are to be found in all depart
ments. 1t is the policy Of this store
to sell during the month of January
every garment remaining in stock at
reduction of from one-third to
one-half from its former price. The
sale, which begins Monday, January
II, is the Eighth Annual Closing Out
Sale, the first having been held in
January, 1914. Every one knows
what delightfully."- original creations
one finds at Bonwit Teller's and the
sale offers one an opportunity of
adding distinction to ones wardrobe
at very small cost.
TIL venture to say that there's
l. not one woman in PHILADELPHIA
who can afford to miss the house
furnishing sale at the store of J.
Franklin Miller, 1912 Chestnut
Street. With the exception of a
very few articles, everything in the
store has been reduced 20 per cent.
This means very great saving, es-
pecially when you consider that j.
Franklin Miller sells only articles of
standard make. If you have been
considering the desirability of ac-
quiring a new electric iron or an
electric toaster, this sale affords you
an opportunity for securing it at a
much lower price than you had ex-
pected to pay. The bride-to-be will
welcome this sale, too. A reduction
of 20 per cent on all her kitchen
furnishings, including the refriger.
ator, is not 70 be scorned.

TO NAME DAVIS CUP
TEAM ON AUGUST Il
Defenders to Be Known Il
Days Before Challenge
Round.
BY SAMUEL j. BRooKMAS.

In little more than week, or by
August 13 to be exact, the team that
is to defend the Davis cup will be
named, according to an announcement
Of the United States Lawn Tennis AS
ISOLATION yesterday. AS a matter OF
fact the team has to be named by that
date, for the rules governing competi-
ton for the International tennis trophy
state that the personnel Of the cup hold
ing squad must be announced officially
at least twenty-one days before the chal-
lenge round. AS the challenge round is
to start September 2, the national asso-
citation really is taking advantage OF the
full time limit.
That there will be any tryout matches
as was the case year ago when a
challenging team was about to be Sc
lected, is doubtful. There Is scarcely
sufficient time for tryouts and the lead
ing candidates are busily engaged in
tournament play. Besides, on the rec
ords of last season and this. the Davis
cup committee has pretty god idea
as to who ought to be named.
There are really only five players who
stand out as candidates for the cup de-
fence team and only one Will have 70
be eliminated from consideration, for the
association intends to name four players
as usual. This quintet consists or William
T.. Tilden I'd and William M. Johnston.
who brought the cup back from AUS
tralasia last winter, Vincent Richards,
the nineteen-year-old star OF the courts,
who has beaten Tilden, Williams and
~ t.
meet defeat In the current campaign,
r. Norris williams I'd who reached
the challenge round in the Longwood
tournament a week ago., and watson
NJ Washburn who was a member OF the
team that made the trip to New Zea-
land last year.
Two Certainties.
Tilden and Johnston are certainties.
Of course. Tilden Is to remain out OF
singles competition prior to the Davis
cup event to get much needed rest, ana
the chances are that he will be close
to his best form when the important
matches are played, but Tilden. even
somewhat off form, is strong enough
for any international team. or the other
three the youthful Richards looms as
the most likely choice. He has only to
maintain the pace he has set all sea-
son to make sure Of selection as third
man on the team. or course, the pres
ent Newport tournament and the early
rounds of the Seabright event next week
may alter the situation considerably, but
there is no reason why Richards. who Is
playing the best tennis of his meteoric
career. should not continue successful.
williams at present rates fourth. AS
has been his habit in the past he con-
tinues to show unbeatable tennis one
day and mediocre the next. and 1t Is only
this tendency to erratic play that fur-
nishes any doubt as to his selection.
washburn's early season tennis has not
been as Impressive this year as last, but
he has been coming along fast In the
last few weeks ard will be near his best

ers the makeup OF the team.
