tarifr schedule.
All these developments coming quickly
show that the conference is approaching
an end. Members Of the Japanese dele
cation are confident It will be finished
by January 10. although this view does
not generally obtain among all the del
egates.
Japan Rencws Offer.
The decision to renew the Shantung
conversations while coming suddenly
was not unexpected. 1t was known the
Chinese were anxious to have them re-
newed and there have been intimations
that in opposing the Japanese conces-
sions as firmly as they did the Chinese
delegates were exceeding some of the
more recent instructions they have re-
ceived from the new Pekin Govrnmsnt.
Chung-Hui Wang. one of the Chinese
delegates. announced to-day that q ca
blegram had been dispatched to the
home Government At Pekin asking for
further information concerning the re-
ported representations made by Mr..
Obata. He expressed the confident be-
lief that the Pskin Government would
not undertake to settle the question by
direct negotiations between Pekin and
Toxic. and Baron Kato for the Japa-
nese stated positively to-day that the
Shantung question would be settled in
Washington. i
In spite of these statements, there ap-
pears little doubt the matter has been
receiving careful consideration at Pekin
and that this consideration Is being re-
Elected here. ~
In the conversations to-day the jap
anese renewed their offer of a loan to
the Chinese for the purchass OF the
Shantung Railroad. offered in such a
manner that II was believed the Chi
nsse would see their way to accept 1t.
They renewed also their demand for
three Japanese officials in the manage
ment OF the railroad. and this is the
matter that proved the stumbling block
to a successful conclusion OF the con-
versations tonight. The brief COM
muniqus Issued Jointly by the con-
| ferees announces positively the discus
sions will be completed" tomorrow.
Root Resolutions Supported.
Indications tonight pointed to an ac-

Ing the use Of submarines. The French
and Japanese will make reservations

CENTRAL GEORGIA.
IS BIG TAX PAYER
VIII Lead List In Georgia. Ac-
cording To Utility Assess
uents

ATLANTA, Nov. 8.-Assessments
for all public utility companies of
the state which have been computed
by Comptroller General Wright on
the basis Of their tax assessments,

$10,710.
The second largest contributor

Atlantic Coast Line will pay an as
sessment of $6,651, the Seaboard

seem funny at all, really. You
sort Of got the idea yourself that
maybe there are unsupported class
distinctions in this free, level coun.
try and you got the idea, too,
that while John Gorecki is a
bartender. and though his father
was a bartender before him. his
son Is not going to be q bartender
after him-no, nor an actor,
either!
FAMILY CONTRAST.
But you could not help thinking.
at the same time. that probably Mr..
Gorecki did not understand the i'm.
portance of his wife to the esthetic
life Of America and her significance
In the great movement, as 1t were,
to develop the feminine form. Yet
when II was pointed out to him
that Gilda Gray is a name to con.
jure with when one asks out-of-
town buyers to see the town; when
he was told that Gilda received
approximately a dollar a tremolo
for the incessant trembling Of her
anatomy, he was unimpressed, for,
In sober truth, he was learning
nothing. for he said:
Jaw, I know all that bunk.
What II 1t is true? We don't care,
Martin and me. We don't need
her and she don't need us. Look
at them socksr'
Mr.. Gorecki elevated a picture of
Mrs. Gorecki-Gray from the bar,
where II was lying face down. 1t
showed the fair dancer in rather
negligible negligee, with bare and
shapely calves showing over alb
breviated hosiery and liberal ex.
panses of white epidermic gleam-
ing softly elsewhere. It was an
illustration for a magazine article
in which the writer writhed over
Gilda Gray's art, but neither the
text nor, the picture got a thrill
out Of her husband, and he said:
Look at them socks! I guess
we don't need her and l. guess she
don't need us. This piece in the
paper tellin' about her idea of hap
piness says she says she is happy
because she loves her husband.
HUH
AN OBVIOUS INFERENCE.
It was plain from the gusto of
the expletive that Mr.. Gorecki
deemed all that to be 1.-The bunk,
and he used that very expression
in characterizing it. Then he
added:
Were havin' this fight over
the boy because he was given to
her when she went away and got
q separation decree. But she gave
him to her folks here an. so I got
him back. and now I'm goin' to
make a man Of him"
He emphasized that though he
had "fot" the boy In 1919. Mrs.
Goerski- Gray made no attempt to
reclaim him until recently and that
Martin has no memory OF his
mother. Also, Mr.. Gorecki init.
mated, he isn't going to have any.
II II can be prevented. for he said:
This business Of being In love
with her husband just makes me
taught It's the bunk! It's just
publicity stuff, cheap publicity
stuff. and that's all this fuss over
the boy 10 too.

NC " 1ONh, ocpI. D.
."AKE it from John
Gorecki, of Milwaukee,
l. the caste system pre-
walls in America, and there
are gradations in social
strata beyond which one
cannot 60 and retain self
respect.
Mr.. Gorecki is a bartender,
and if that profession has
declined in prestige in recent
years, Mr.. Gorecki's pride
has not declined with it.
His father was a bartender
before him and his son
And that brings us right
up to the crux of the caste
question. Mr. Gorecki is the
husband of Miss Gilda Gray,
the shimmying star Of the
Follies, and it is over their
son that they are quarrel
ing. Both parents, the bar
tender and the quivering
dancer, are fighting for the
possession of the boy.
Miss Gray obtained a di-
yorce in 1915 from Mr..
Gorecki on the ground of
cruelty, nonsupport, deser-
ton and similar broad
charges. She was awarded
the custody of their child,
Martin, now nine years old.
After this victory, Gilda
glided to Broadway where
she has stood, immovable on
her feet, yet with much mo-
ton elsewhere.
Then Mr.. Gorecki whisked
the child away from Gilda's
parents. and when she
brought a court action to re-
gain the boy, Mr.. Gorecki
retaliated with a motion to
set aside the decree granted
her 30 that he might get one
himself and thus legalize
his possession of their son.
THERE ARE LIMITS.
with the contest thus pending,
Mr.. oorecki was approached with
the suggestion that the simplest
and most satisfactory way to set
tie the argument would be for
him to remarry Miss Gray that all
three might live together.
.Mr. Gorecl<i stared at the ques-
TONER. His powerful right arm
reached under the bar. A vision
Of q bung-starter describing an
arc through the ambient air
crossed the mind Of the question
or. But Mr.. Gorech drew forth
merely the bar rag and passed It
over the mahogany with careful
carelessness, the while he strug-
gled to restrain his emotions. Fin
ally, he calculated:
= What! Me live with her?
Huh-catch me livin' with any
shimmy .shaker!r p
And there was in his voice a
suggestion that boded Ill to any
one who would attempt to estab-
lish marital compromise by
force. Bartenders in saloons on
the South Side Of Milwaukee are
not finicky in their affiliations
these days, when faith and morals
are subjected to 80 many and
such violent temptations.

But let Mr.. Gorecki tell in his
own way, for he wants to:
