HARD FIGHT MADE
BY OAKLAND CITY
ON STREET CAR CO,
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
MADRID THRONGED WITH PEOPLE lEXPO,
l^OR MARRIAGE OF KING ALFOXSO
CITY OFFICIALS CAUSE AH-
REST OF RY. EMPLOYEES
Would Place $200 Tax on Express
Car and Force Stops at
More Crossings.
A controversy that has existed be
tween the officials of Oakland City and
the Georgia Railway and Electric Com
pany will again have an airing Jn the
»tate courts, according to the way
things looked Thursday morning. The
latest trouble was precipitated Wed
nesday afternoon when the motormen
and conductors on several cars run
ning through the suburb were served
with copies of charges, requiring their
appearance before the mayor’s court In
Oakland next Tuesday night, to answer
to the charge of violating an ordinance
of that city compelling the Georgia
Railway and Electric Company to have
Its cars stop at certain crossings when
there are passengers who wish to
slight or board a car at these points.
During the administration of the
council of Oakland City that preceded
the present body, a franchise was
granted the Georgia Railway and Elec
tric Company to double track through
Oakland City. The present council
disagreed with the former body and
held that the railroad company should
not double track. The case was taken
to the supreme court and won by the
railway company.
The next phase of the trouble was
brought about by the street car com
pany refusing to comply with an ordi
nance requiring all cars to stop for
passengers at certain crossings. Fail
ure to do this brought about the action
taken by the authorities of Oakland
Wednesday when cars failed to stop at
a station between Oakland avenue
and Campbellton road, which station
was one of those designated by the
Oakland council's ordinance.
Would Tax Express Car.
Another feature of the differences
between Oakland City and the railway
company Is centered In the tax that
has been levied on the running of an
express car from Atlanta through Oak
land City. Council held that the
franchise of the railway company did
not contain a provision for running an
express car and after deliberating over
the matter, It was decided to levy a tax
of >300 for this privilege. This the
street car company refused to pay.
T. K. Glenn, vice president and gen
eral manager of the Georgia Railway
and Electric Company, when seen at his
office this morning, said he considered
the affair "a tempest In a tea pot.”
"The people of Oakland City through
their council passed an ordinance re
quiring us to stop our cars at certain
places, at all of which, with the excep
tion nf three, we were already stop
ping, and the additional stops were not
necessary, in our opinion, pa we did
not think It fair to the people living
near the end of the line to make so
many stops. It'Is not possible to run
suburban lines like those In a city. Yes
terday certain can,, on which there
were passengers who wished to get off
at n station between Campbellton road
and Oakland avenue, foiled to stop at
that place. The motormen and con
ductors were served with charges, and
they will go before the mayor Tuesday
night tor trial. 1 auppoae, ot count,
they will be found guilty, of violating
the ordinance, and the case will then
be appealed to the supreme court by us,
Express Car an Accommodation.
"As to the running of an express
car through the town, we do It purely
as a matter of accommodation. Sev
eral years ago, before we put on this
car, we found the amount of freight
we were carylng on the cars so large
that we could not accommodate It.
People but there were used to having
sides of meat. Ice cream freexers and
such sent out, with an occasional baby
carringe, and to accommodate the peo
ple In Oakland City, for we certainly
make nothing on these express cars—
though we, of course, lose no money,
we put on an express car, as we did
"It other suburban lines. Now they
wish us to pay a tax of 1300 for the
privilege of running that car through
Oakland City. If we paid that, we
would Immediately have similar taxes
In other suburbs, until the entire
amount would run way up Into the
thousands, much more than we could
make hack.”
Oakland City Mayor Talks.
Henry C. Beerman, mayor of Oak
land City, was seen Thursday morning,
and naked what action would be taken
by him and the city council In regard
to the failure of the railway company
to comply with the city ordinance.
Ho said:
"The Georgia Railway and Electric
Company was notified several days ago
by the clerk of Oakland City to
Straighten Its poles on the chert road,
to stop at certain crossings, and lo
Pay an annual tax of 3300 on its ex
press ear runtilg through Oakland
1 Ity. The company's officials were giv
en live days to comply with this re-
'Ittest. However, as a favor to Messrs.
Atkinson and Glenn, I suspended this
action until after our council meet
ing last Monday night, when they were
to appear before us and state their
' ««*. Thsy Ignored us utterly, and I,
accordingly. Instructed the marshals to
enforce the ordinances.
"The Georgia Railway and Electric
1 ompany, under the franchise, agreed
to comply with all ordinances passed
by the city council.''
When asked If It was true that Oak
land City would compel the street rail
road company to run Its cars st a rate
"f * miles an hour through the limits
of the Sown, Mr. Beerman said he
had heard nothing of It. Mr. Olenn
"aid he had heard rumors of such
action being taken.

tlpped lances.
The whole of the west front was
adorned with British and Spanish
escutcheons. Hugs and wreaths. The
arrival of the king at the church was
announced by notes from the silver
trumpets and the royal march played
on the organ. His majesty entered the
church under n pallium held over hlfn
by high church and palace dignitaries,
He was attired In the uniform of a
captain general and wore among his
decorations the order of the Golden

Monatgnor Saucha, archbishop of
Toledo, and primate of Spain, per
formed the ceremony, assisted by twen
ty bishops and priests, all in gorgeous
vestments of white and gold and scar
let and old lace. At the words:
"With all my worldly goods I thee
endow," the king presented to his bride
thirteen golden "arras.'’ After the cer-
emony the bride and bridegroom knelt
before the altar, their sponsors holding
lighted tapers on either side. Then
they heard the nuptial mass, one bf
the most Impressive services In the
Catholic church, with Its musically
chanted Invocations and responses from
the organ.
As the. king and queen left the
church the ringing of bells, the roar of
cannon and the deafening shouts of
people greeted them. The young couple

People Pack Streets.
The streets along which the proces-
sion passed were packed with people
in holiday dress, while an Immense
crowd Jammed about the palace to
catch a glimpse of the royal pair.
Bhortly after the king and his bride
entered the palace, all the windows
were opened, and the royal pair and
the royal family stepped out on the
balcony. •
The cheers that then arose from the
enthusiastic people were deafening and
lasted for several minutes. The king's
face was wreathed in smiles, und that
of his blushing bride was equally happy
In its expression. Round after round
of cheers arose, and the royal pair
bowed again and again.
According to ancient Spanish custom

Americans at Wedding.
The wedding was attended by en
voys from all lands. America was rep-
resented by Frederick W. Whltrldge,
special ambassador,' Minister Collier
and Lieutenant U. S. Grant, U. 8. A .
the son of General and Mrs. i-redertek
Dent Grant and Lieutenant Lee C.
Palmer, V. 8. N. The king had as hts
nersonal guests the Prince and Prlu-
the Duke and Duchess
cess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess
of Sparta, Crown Prince and Crown
Princess Constantine of Greece, the
Duchess of Edinburgh and Primes*
Ilenry "f Battenberg, the brides
mother.
City In Cold Brest.
The separate processions of the king
end his bride started respectively from
the roysl paisce and the residence of
the Infanta Isabella, and Joined at the
Puerto del Sol, the great public square.
From there the combined cortege pro
ceeded to the Church of St. Geronlmo.
The royal coaches were each drawn
bv eight horses, with twenty-nine pos
tilions In eighteenth century costumes,
each resplendent with gliding and
bronze decoration. The carriage* con
veyed the Spanish and English royal
ties and the foreign gu«t*. Twenty-
one more carriage* carried theHpanlsh
grand' "
troops of cavalry rode at the head and
rear ot the procession.
The decorations In the streets In
eluded banners having such pro-Eng
lish Inscriptions os “Long Live the
King of England,” “All Honor to the
British Nation,” while the new queen
was honored by a banner wishing
"Long Life to Queen Victoria Eugenie.”
The king and his bride will remain In
Madrid eight days In order to partici
pate In the festivities. They will then
spend their honeymoon at La Oranja
Palace, later passing the summer at
San .Sebastian.
The streets through which the wed
ding cortege passed were literally car
peted with flowers. The florists In the
Canary Islands supplied 1,200 tons of
flowers for the Plata de Toraa and
other centers.
Gorgsous State Coaches.
One of the features of the wedding
was the procession of state coaches.
His majesty had thirty-four vehicles
In line. Sixteen of them were hletorlc
creations that have not been used In
and many other* of the diplo
matic corps and government officials.
New Queen Honored.
T!<e royal coache* were escorted by
halberdiers In old-time dresses
many years.
It is a fad with every Spanish sov
erelgn to try to eclipse his predecessors
In the matter of. gala coaches, and Al
fonso Is no exception.
Some of the state coaches are de
scribed as priceless. One Is covered
with polished tortoise shell, and Is
estimated to be worth at least 3100,000.
In addition to the royal coaches
there was a long train of private state
coaches, belonging to the grandees,
many of whom possess wonderful dec
orated carriages that are as grand as
many owned by sovereigns.
. Bride Couldn't 8how Feet
The wedding dress of Princess Ena
was cut In such a fashion as to cover
her feet, because of the well-known
trsdtlon that the queen of Spain has
no legs and therefore no feet. The
story goes that when King Philip II
of Spain was married a peasant wom
an came to Madrid to present to the
young queen a pair of stockings which
she had knitted for her. The chamber-
lain who received the woman waa in an
Impatient mood and threw the clock
ing* at her, shouting, "The queen of
Spain has no legs!”
The bride-elect hearing of this, took
It literally, and, rushing to her father,
Implored him not to let her legs be cut
off, saying she would rather not be
married at all. The father told the
king, who laughed al her fears and dis
missed the chamberlain. The peasant
woman, however, told her story, the
popular belief In a legless queen be
came a Used fancy, the queen had her
wedding dress made so as to hide her
shoes, and all Spanish queens have fol
lowed her example since.
Nsw Queen Tall and Fair.
Queen Ena I* very tall, fair with
round face resembling the duke of Con
naught's when he waa her age, and
with the cheeks, chin and something In
the mouth of Queen Victoria when
young. She Is good humored and In
clined to hearty laughter.
When the queen does not laugh she
doe* her best to wear the air the
queens preserve at drawing rooms. The
eyes are not large or expreeelve, but
not dull either, and rather agreeable.
It would be hard to describe the color
ot her hair. Autumn foliage as It turns
from russet to pale yellow Is compara
ble to It. A tolson d'or. It might be
called, If the tinge of russet were re
placed by gold. But a Parisian hair
dresser would know how to cast sun
beams on it. as Auguste did on the
"lively auburn” hair of the Emprees
Eugenie. The new queen Is too much
Queen Victoria's granddaughter not to
be as much in love (and for life) with
Alfonso ss he Is now with her.

Old Qrandets Shocked.
Some of the old Spanish grandees
did not look with favor on the king's
bride. They cannot get over the shock
caused by the fact that he a Bourbon,
In other words a prince of the noblest
house In Europe, should have chosen
for his wife the descendant of the
Countess Haucke, morganatic wife of
the first prince of Battenberg nnd
granddaughter of a hotel waiter. They
arcuse him of raising lo the throne
of Charles V and Philip II a young
woman of Protestant origin. In the
salons of the Spanish aristocracy
much Indignant comment was heard
concerning the humiliation which the
nobility considers that it has received
at the hands of Its sovereign.
