agent for an adjoining lot,
cinched the deal.

NEW YORK. May 6.-Night life
says but the Tenderloin still has its
army of nocturnal devotees who
await the coming OF the milk
wagon and the sun. The glitter is
gone and parties outfitted in evening
clothes are rare. The night life
crowds have the hard enameled
look of the days of The Haymarket
and McGuirk's Suicide Hall
In one place the other night
where front tables were often occu-
pied by the cognescenu in silk and
satin surroundings. there were pan?
derers, drug addicts and several
known Broadway libertines. The
women were the henna and peroxide
looked disgusted.
The language was of the brothel
and coarse epithets were hurled at
the tightly Clenched dancers who
wiggled in and out of the heavy
spotlight on the dance floor. Most
of them brought their own liquor
which was tinctured with ether.
Cigarette smoke and perfume
mingled in an atmosphere lacking
ordinary ventilation.
Here was a place that required
a head walters recognition to enter
three years ago and today the only
respectables who go there sit in the
balcony merely to look on as they
would in a slum dance hall down
at Coney Island.

effort of proprietors to hold on

refused to believe that such a
change was permanent.
A cafe and cabaret man who
operated in the vicinity of Colum-
bus Circle was one among a very
few who believed that prohibition
would kill his business. He turned
his place into a modest priced eat
ing place, catering to salaried peo-
pie in the neighborhood and in the
evening he gave a high class musi-
cal concert and a moderate priced
dinner. He banned liquor even II
| brought from the outside. The re-
suit has been astonishing. He has
made more money than ever before

10 o'clock and is able for the first
time in years to spend a little time
with his family.

Italy have concurred in the Ameri-

mandate was not legally bestowed
on Japan and should. be reconsid-
cred. II a discussion should en-
sue as to whether zap should be
included in the program of the con-
ference, ii might easily happen that
the program would not be fully de-
cided upon until the conference
actually began, in which case the
same. result would be achieved
when the delegates reached here.
For in trying to determine whether
the zap question should be regard
ed as an accomplished fact" the
merits of the whole question would
have to pe discussed anew.
So the Japanese qualifications at
this time cannot be considered as
raising any more of an obstacle to
future agreement than would natur-
ally be the case when the Japan

ed that harmonious agreement will
be achieved at once, but only after
