Dethroned Ruler, Once Slave of Gaby

LONDON. April 21.—Confirmation
of reports that ex-King Manuel, of
Portugal, who was reported to be
infatuated with Gaby Deslys, the
French dancer, is to marry Princess
Augusta Victoria, of Hohenzollern,
a close kinswoman of Emperor Wil
liam, was secured to-day at Manuel's
London residence.
Manuel is visiting the princess at
her father's castle in Sigmargen,

City tax assessments on banks
have been increased more than
$1,000,000 this year.
This was learned to-day from an
authentic source,-despite efforts of of
ficials to keep it secret. The increase
is based on larger capital, surplus and
undivided profits. 11
' This increase is the largest ever
Imposed on Atlanta banks in one year.
Also it is a positive evidence of-their
growth and prosperity. At the tax
rate of .0125 per cent It gives an ad
ditional income of $12,500 to the city.
City Gets $200,000.
The total increase in personalty as
sessments, it is estimated, will exceed
$4,000,000. Reports have been made
that realty assessments will be $12,-
000,000 more than last year, making
a grand total increase of $16,000,000.
This means a net increase in income
of $200,000 from this source.
These favorable - reports, though,
form a contrast to the unsettled con
ditions that have reigned in the tax
office since the first of the year.
Sweeping changes inaugurated by
Alderman John E. McClelland haVe
been resisted by the three tax asses
sors, J. L, Harrison, C. D, Meador and
John Malone.
A new order was seen to-day with
the announcement by Mayor Wood-

Singers Take Morning Stroll*.
Most of the members of t..e Met
ropolitan Company arrived in Atlanta
at 5:30 o’clock this morning, but the
early hour did not prevent many of
the curious gathering at the station
to catch a glimpsy* of them. Prac
tically all of the troupe are registered
at the Georgian Terrace Hotel and
their presence kept the place in a
subdued state of excitement all morn
ing
While many of the singers retired
at once to their rooms and indulged
in a few r hours’ sleep, there were a
number who took advantage of the
opportunity to take an early morning
w'alk along Peachtree Street and
Ponce DeLeon Avenue.
LiKrezia Bori. Antonio Scotti, En
rico Caruso and Andrea DeSegurlo,
who will appear in the opening opera,
lost no time in getting to their rooms,
however, and it was several hours
before they appeared in the lobby
again. Lucrezia Bori proved the
longest sleeper of them all. She was
still in her suite at 1 o’clock and the
many persons who had gathered to
catch a glimpse of her were disap
pointed.
Stars Glad to Gome South.
The trip to the South comes as an
acceptable break in the heavy New’
York season, and the famous singers
appeared as happy as children on
their first trip. They were about the
lobby and verandas of the hotel and
proved willing posers for the group
of newspaper photographers.
Andrea DeSegurola. the baritone
comedian, came in for much inspec

He holds the unique distinction of
being the only member of the troup

Seeks to Abrogate
Pacts With England
Oregon Senator Believes Breaking of
Treaties Quickest Way Out
of Canal Tangle.
WASHINGTON. April 21.—Senator
Uhamberlain, of Oreaon. introduced a
resolution in the Senate to-day pro
viding for the abrogation of the Hay-
Pauncefote and the Clayton-Bulwei
treaties.
His chief argument is that the Hay
treaty applies to a canal to be con
structed on foreign Eerritory. and as
the Panama Canal is being construct
ed through territory within the juris
diction of the United States, Great
Britaih has no room for protest.
The Clayton treaty is held to apply
only to the Nicaraguan route, which
was abandoned.
Upon the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
Great Britain bases her protests
against free passage for American
ships in the Panama Canal. Senator
Chamberlain declared he considered
abrogation of the treaty the easiest
and quickest way to get to the bo;-
tom of the affair.
