Samuel Lewis Shank, mayor-elect, called

hopes to accomplish in his administration
is the wiping out Of these ancient, tax

In 1873 bond, issue of $109,500 was

Southern Park, now the central portion
Of Garfield Park. 1t was to mature in
twenty years and bear per cent inter

refunded the issue at the same rate Of
interest. This issue was refunded in
1904 at the same interest rate and will
mature Jan. 26, 1924. AT per cent since
1874 the total amount paid In interest
upon this S109,500 worth of bonds, which

Until NOU. "a
Enforcement Held Up Because
Of MiStake in Printing
Text of Bill.

Enforcement Of the jitney elimination,
passed By the city council more than a
month ago is being held up by the board
of public safety because the ordinance
was incorrectly published after passage
by the council It was learned today. City
officials for several weeks have been eX-
plaiHing that the jitney men were not
being arrested for continuing to operate
in he face Of the ordinance because il was
desired to give them plenty of time in
which TO take out the new licenses and
file bonds as required by the new city
law.
AS n matter cf fact, it was discovered
the ordinance viii not become effective
until Thursday. It was not until after
the ordinance had been published on oct
S and oct. u, that it was discovered that
the city legal department, in supplying
the text Of the bin to the city clerk foi
transmission 10 the newspaper which has
the city legal advertising account had
failed to rew-ite a section which was
amended by the city council on the night
the bill was passed.
This section pertained to bonds. The
ordinance as originally drafted provided
that jitney operators should provide
bonds Of $4,000 or 10000, according to
the carrying capacity OF their vehicle.
On the night Of passage Of this section
was amended 20 make the amounts 5000
and $4,000. As the ordinance was pub
lished on Oct and * the amounts were
$4,000 and $4,000 This invalidated the
publication and it was necessary to start
all over again. So the corrected ordi-
nance was published on Nov. 10 and II.
Since the measure was TO tecome ef-
fective after two weeks publication 1t
Will not be In force until Nov. "a, which
IS Thursday.
Meanwhile the jituey drivers drive
merrily on and the street railway com
pany officials claim the utiEty is losing
81 200 a day from bus competition.
A. L. Taggart, president OF the board
OF public safety, announced that the po-
lice Will start enforcing the ordinance

Uncle Sam, Behind

CHINA VS.. JAPAN
Sharp Conflict De-
velops Over Gen
eral Principles.'
CHINA VS.. JAPAN

WASHINGTON, Nov. % - The
United States has already assumed
the role of umpire in the sharp con-
1ict of opinion between China and
Japan as to the general principles
which are to govern the discussion
of China's case at the Washington
conference.
This was learned authoritativeIy
today when the delegates of the nine
powers assembled again behind
closed doors to take up the Chinese
question The committee met at IL
a. m in the Pan-American building.
The committee adopted a resolution
offered by Senator Underwood and the
American delegation providing for the
appointment of a subcommittee to make
a study of the customs of China.
CUSTOMS TANGLED
QUESTION.
The customs question is one of the
most tangled of the many difficult prob
lens of China. 1t is assumed that the
subcommittee will look into China's
claims that she cannot raise sufficient
revenue to run her government and take
care of her obligations because of the
provision Of the treaties between China
and other powers providing for q maxi
mum OF per cent customs duty.
The fact that the committee iumedi-
ately decided to 90 into the question Of
Ctina's finances is but part of the plans
OF the American delegation to investigate
bIv- all
Far East
1t was decided today there shan be q
meeting tomorrow morning Of the full
Committee on Limitation of Armamentz
and another meeting in the afternoon OF
the Far Eastern Committee
Il has deVesopeG that the four ~prin-
ciples" brought out by EIihu Root and
agreed 70 last night by the powers rep
resented = virtual compromise between
the far-reaching principles" proposed
by China and the ultra conservative
principles favored by Japan.
II was further learned that there wns
considerable acrimonious talk behind the
closed doors OF the Pan-American Build
ing before the Root principles we're ee-
cepted. China insisted strongly that her
own program Of ten principles be ae-
cepted as q basis for any action which
the conference may take
japanese objection to them fs UNDER
stood TO have been based on the fear thar
the Chinese proposals were too suscept-.
ible to bringing up old affairs, such az'
Manchuria and Mongolia. Baron Kato
is understood to have voiced the opinion
that the conference should confne itself
to present and future issues and present
and future conditions, leaving the dead
past to bury its dead"
ALL AGREE
TO PRINCIPLES.
In the end it was agreed to accept th4i
four principles" drawn up by Mr.. Root
as a foundation upon which future dis !
cussions of the Chinese questions Will
rest. The Root principles are general in
nature and the opinion was expressed by
diplomat today that a ''horse and
wagon could be driven through any Of
them"
Tn net result has been to temporarily
avert an open conflict between Japan and
China at the outset, and to leave il to
the future to determine just what can
be properly brought up under the COM

Separate Action to Be

Board.
COUNTY DROPPED
Site Desired South of
State School for

A request for the board of public
works to adopt a resolution for
separate acquisition by the city Of
one block of the proposed memorial
plaza site at its regular meeting to-
morrow will be made, Mayor Charles
W. Jewett announced today. The
city administration will proceed with
all its vigor to get the plaza ground
by itself before it goes out of Office,
Jan. 2, now that the county commits
sioners have definitely refused to
proceed in conjunction with the city,
the mayor said.
The original plan, included in resolu-
tions for joint procedure by the city
end county adopted by the board of
public works and county commissioners,
was to buy the two blocks bounded by
North, Meridian, Vermont and Pennsyl-
vania streets. This resolution will be
rescinded by the board of public works
tomorrow and the one for procedure by
the city alone will be adopted IN its
stead, Mr.. Jewett said The block TO be
purchased is just south Of the State
School for the Blind and IS bounded by
North, Michigan, Meridian and Pennsyl-
vania streets
SEES RIGHT TO
USE MONEY.
The bond issue Of 81, 100000 authorized
By the city council when it was thought
the two blocks would be bought in con-
junction with the county can be legally
used for the purchase Of the one block
under separate city procedure, the mayor
believes, since the ordinance authorizing
the issue states that the money is to be
Ased for purchase OF plaza ground either
~sEitb the commissioners or separately.
After the board Of works adopts the
resolution for separate procedure the
next steps will be the appointment Of
appraisers TO make valuations Of the
property in the block desired and the
advertising of the bonds for sale. The

STAR WITNESSES

BY FREDA BLUM.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22.-Zeh Prevon
and Alice Blake, the two star witnesses
for the State in the Arbuckle man
slaughter trial, will stand side by side
forever more in the memory of the jury
who heard their testimony yesterday.
The five women jurors will remember
the two show girls in all their silken,
feathefed fnery, their pale faces and
frightened eyes. The men in the jury
box cannot help but remember them in
all their trimness Of ankle, their Shapely
shoulders and ivory thrOats.
For all this was too well displayed, too
obvious to let observation pass 1t by. So
true to type were both of them that they
can be detailed together.
Both had abandoned their makeup for
the showing.
Both have exquisite skin, like the com
plexion Of white roses in bud. They have
large, dark, beautiful brown eyes and
blacE hair. Their lips are full and red

impulse. Their skirts were nOticeabIy
short. Zeh Provost displayed her we'll
formed ankles in a pair Of dainty black
satin slippers with sheer hosiery to
match, while Alice Blake saw fit to set
her costume off with grey suede oxfords
and pearl pink stockings.
Though the day was dreary and cold.
the two wore only the merest shadow
of protection at the throat This was.
in both cases, only the fimsiest of ecru
lace vestes, pinned to the coat at a very
low angle and disclosing the soft con-
tours Of neck and chest.
Be it said tf the women sitting In the
jury box that they took no cognizance Of
the smile with which the girl witnesses
answered to this and that After their
first official appraisal the women Jurors
centered their attentions solely on the
testimony.
One woman juror. however. studied
the girls intently from beneath her large
red hat. She had the puzzled expression
of doubt about her and openly showed it.
MEN ATTENTIVE
AND WATCHFUL.
The men we're curious about the tes-
timony, too They were attentive and
extremely watchful.
But, in more than appearance, were the
two witnesses sisters. Both were called
