* — 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.

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 Fleece and the English Order of the Garter. Archbishop 8aucha Officiates. 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 Mm "cnaphn Ha Ini'nrnnn" And entered the “coache de lacorona" and were preceded by heralds In gorgeous liveries on prancing Andalusian steeds. 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 the cardinal visited the palace In the afternoon and blessed the home of the ^Tonight"’ the whole city will he Il luminated, all the theaters will give free performances, and there will be feast ing and merrymaking all over the do minion. 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. Will Have Many Palscst. As quaen of Spain, Princess Ena will And herself mistress of no fewer than half a dozen magnificent palaces. There Is. flrat of all, the splendid royal palace In Madrid, a gnat pile similar to Ver sailles. some MO feet square, and Its most striking texture Is a magnificent marble staircase. Some distance outside the capital and standing on a hill which 1s 3,000 feet shove the sea, I* the ancient palace „f the Escorts!.

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.
