WILLING VICTIM OF ERROR
Man Naturally Was Not Quick to Deny
Authorship Of Novels in Popu-

When George Eliot's "Scenes of
Clerical Life" was first run in Black
woods Magazine, there was consider
able speculation as to the identity of
the author concealed behind the pseu'
donym. The people of George Ellot's
old home town, Nuneaton, were espe-
cially wrought up, as they recognized
In the characters of "Amos Barton"

the papers unmistakable portraits Of
well-known people of the neighbor
hood.
Various local celebrities with lit

a delegation of the visitors finally con-
cluded to consult table-tipper said to
be making some remarkable revela.

spirit rapper," the table spelled out
the name of the unknown author as
'Liggers." There was no Liggers In
the town, but there was "Liggins,"
broken-down gentleman who had been
known to write pieces for the papers.
He was charged with the authorship of
the much-talked-of essays and did not
reject the honors thrust upon him.
When "Adam Bede' appeared and
took the critics by storm, Liggins
fame waxed greater than ever. He
was lionized by the townspeople, feted
at parties. and public subscription
was started for him. Then the real

Portugal n the Netherlands, acting
as a committee OF the whole on the
Fs- Eastern questions. assembled for
preliminary discussion and to lay
plans for procedure.
In contrast to the manner in which
tho conference tackled the armament
problem on its opening day. the rep
resentatives OF tho powers went into
today's committee meeting waiting on
one another to speak first about the
Intricate questions that long have
troubled diplomatic relations in the
Pacific and the Orient. Every nation
had q rather concrete idea of the prin-
ciples 1t meant to present. but no ono
reemed anxious to break the ice.
The attitude OF the United States is
that the interest of this government Is
not nearly so direct in the Far Eastern
situation as II was in the question Of
ornaments. Both China and Japan
appeared to prefer to wait and famil-
larlze themselves with the atmosphere
of tho conferences before laying down
their views in detail. Great Britain
also had failed to give any indication
OF n willingness to take the initiative
while all the other powers felt that
AAAth AhPAt "a At1E AtNil0to IFlAlloNanlP
to tho Far Eastern tangie should
prompt them to reinain in the back
ground for the present.
The general prediction was that the
task OF drafting a method OF proceed
ure would be entrusted to a smaller
committee. 1t was expected that all
nine OF tho nations represented here
would have membership on the COM
mittee and would unite their influ-
ence to hasten the committee work 30
that the Far Eastern discussion might
take rank as soon as possible abreast
OF the more advanced negotiations on
armament.
whilo the delegates were beginning
their actual consideration of tho sec
ond big topic on the conference pro
gram. the naval experts committee OF
tho big five" powers held its firs,
meeting and compared Impressions on
details OF the American reduction
plans accepted yesterday in spirit and
principle by all the powers.
The impression prevailed amonl
some OF the delegates on entering tn
session for discussion OF Far Easteri
questions that DIR. SEE, Chira's repre-
sentative. would present n propose
which would serve as the basis OF dis
cussion. This proposal was under
stood in some quarters to provide q
settlement OF the Far Eastern prob
lems. especially with respect to China
on tho basis OF complete territorial In
tegrity for China. including Shantung
complete freedom OF action for China,
and universal recognition of the open
door.
Prospects were that the delegates
would remain In session well into the
afternoon. preparations having beer
made for the serving OF lunch in the
Pan-American building. where the
session was held.
