Hemphill Avenue. President K <5.
Matheson, of Tech, appeared before

paved before the June commence
ment.
In agreeing to do the work, the

years old and a widower.
Mrs. Jeter and Barwiek's family
disappeared on April 3, and, after
a quiet search had failed to disclose
their whereabouts. Barwick sought
the aid of the authorities, declaring
Mrs. Jeter and Mattiford had con

On the threat of the young wife that
would shoot herself unless for-

MANY AMERICANS
Tokio Surgeon Explains Land International Crooks Gather for
»m There—Calls Califor- the Annual Harvest, and Com-
Systen
nia's Action Discreditable.
WASHINGTON, April 26. Dr, R.
B. Teussler, director of St. Luke’s In- '
ternational Hospital at Tokio, in an
interview published here to-day. de- 1
dares discrimination against the i
Japanese in California will be a high- j
ly discreditable act to this nation.
The Japanese, he says, are not
threatening this country or Califor- ]
nia. In reply to the statement that
the Japanese do not permit Ameri
cans to hold land in their empire, Dr.
Teussler rays:
Under Japanese law there are at
least two methods whereby foreign
ers may own land in Japan. The first
is by the right of superficies. This
gives the title clearly and legally to
the purchaser for 999 years. The only
possible restriction on* this form of
ownership which might arise would
be if a mine or oil were discovered
on the property.
‘ The second way for foreigners to
hold land in Japan is by the forming
of a Shadan.’ This is a group of
three or more foreigners legally in
corporated and constituted to hold
land in fee simple anywhere in Japan
for the purposes mentioned in the ar
ticles of incorporation.
“Therefore the statement that for
eigners can not own land is not true
and should be corrected.’

Davis is staying at a cheap lodg-
I ing house in consequence of being
' left “without a bean.' to use his own
expression. The thieves. however,
had the grace to send him back his
steamship ticket, otherwise he would
have been completely stranded.
Davis refused to give his New York
address, saying he didn’t want his
friends to know he had fallen for so
obvious a plant. ‘1 feel like thirty
cents,’*’ he said.

"But I'll have my children," he
added, “f'm going to save them from

Barwick is very hitter against his
mother-in-law. He asserted thul she
had plotted with Mattiford to wreck
his home.
Was Advised to Shoot Rival.
"I have a witness, a woman, tvho
will swear on the witness stand that
Mattiford confessed to her that he
had been buying fine clothes for Mrs.
Jeter for a year"
Barwick said a number of his close
friends had advised him to "shoot
Mattiford," but that he had persist
ently refused to claim the protection
of the "unwritten law."
"He's not worth a bullet," said the
husband. "What I want is to place
him behind the bars as one
would any other ferocious animal. 1
could easily have killed him when 1
found him and my wife in Philadel
phia, but I kept my 'head. I had my
hand on mv pistol in my pocket all

ence of my wife."
Had Husband Arrested.
Barwick was arrested on a peaop
warrant, taken out by Mrs. Jeter be
fore Justice Ridley on April 2, and
he declared this to be a part of the
I conspiracy to aid the elopement.
Barwick said that when he was
j called over the telephone by an of
ficer of the court, he went to the
! court room immediately and asked
for a trial. Mrs. Jeter, who said her
son-in-law had threatened to kill her
on sight, protested that she was not
ready for trial, and the case was put
off until the next day.
Barwick went to court at the ap
pointed time and waited half an hour,
hut no one showed up to prosecute
j him. Judge Ridley then dismissed
; the warrant. When Barwick went to

Mattiford's Love Letters.

merous love letters written to Mrs.
Barwick by Mattiford and which he
found hidden in her writing desk. In
these missives Mattiford continually
refers to Mrs. Barwick as "my baby.”
"my baby girl," and “my little darl

Barwick has a long letter sent him
from Philadelphia by bis wife, plead

To-night will mark the last ap
pearance of Caruso and this, with the
fact that it is the final opera, will
serve to draw an audience even larger
than that which greeted the tenor in
■Rigoletto on the closing night of
last season.
"Lucia di Lammermoor." the Don
izetti opera founded on Walter
Scott’s romantic novel, is the bill for
this afternoon. It has been sung by
every barnstorming opera company
for fifty years past, but the beauiy
of its music and the opportunity it
gives for vocal fireworks have kept
It in the repertoire of the greater or
ganizations aiso.
Favorite With Music Lovers.
It shares with "Trovatore" the
place of favorite w'itli the masses of
music lovers, those who delight In
melody and in the rippling runs an l
cadenzas of the old Italian school
which are being discarded by "high
brow” musicians of these days of
Debussy.
In "Lucia” is found the noted “Mad
Scene," when Lucia, who has stab
bed her newmade husband to death,
comes downstairs w'ith the dagger and
proves she is insane by setting off a
series of soprano skyrockets which
would make a mocking bird lie down
in its cage and die of despair. It is
In "Lucia” also there occurs the fa
mous "sextet,” perhaps the greatest
piece of concerted vocal music ever
written and one attempted by thou
sands of singing organizations.
“Tosca” Closes Season.
“Tosca,” the opera which requires
not only singers but actors properly
to present it. will be the closing num
ber. with a east worth going far *o
hear. Emmy Destinn will sing fh,
title role, given here three years ago
by Geraidine Farrar. Caruso will
sing Mario Cavadarossi, sung here
formerly by Marlin, and Scotti, of
course, will sing the role which most
has made him famous—Baron Scar
pia.
Puccini had reached his full pow
ers when he wrote "Tosca" and the
librettist had Sardou’s powerful dra
ma as a basis for his lines. The dra
matic construction of the opera is
perfect; its plot is logically develop
ed, and the force and intensity of its
scenes make it of interest even 'o
those hearers who care but little far
music. It gives opportunity for splen
did stage settings, introduces the
great organ in its first act, and con
tains a dozen solo, duo and tbio num
bers which are veritable gems. It
should be a fitting close for one of
the most ^leasing seasons of opera
Atlanta has known.

last night against Lello Pelligrini. a

LONDON, April 26. Two million
Slavs implore the intervention of Eng

This was the message sent to The
Star to-day by General Spirodovltch,
president of the Balkan committee in
Paris. In part. General Spirodovltch
said:
Austria and Germany wish to in
vade Montenegro and Albania and
crush out Montenegrin influence. It
is the obvious desire of Austria and
ermany to gain control of the Al

to prevent any extension In the

Ultimatum le Reported.
VIENNA, April 26.—The Austrian
chancellor to-day received word that
the ambassadorial high court in Lon
don had sent a joint note, signed by
all the big European powers except
Russia, to the Montenegrin Govern
ment, demanding the evacuation of
Scutari. The note virtually amounts
to an ultimatum. Russia is apparent
ly determined to make a show of her
friendship for the Slavs.
It is believed here that Montenegro
will bow to the demands of the Pow

League and friendship of Russia, al

King Nicholas had proclaimed Scutari

Later a royal proclamation, sign

Bori Scores New Triumph
In “Tales of Hoffman.”
Already her willing captives, Atlan
ta operagoers are more deeply en
slaved to-day by the wonderful art of
Lucrezia Bori after her triumph i:
the fantastic “Tales of Hoffman" las
night at the Auditorium.
The great audience gave her ova
tion after ovation. At the end of
the third act it had determined thfet
she should appear again and again to
respond to the remarkable demon
stration. When she came before the
curtain with a great mass of flowers
in her arms, the applause was deafen
ing.
Offenbach’s delightful and unusual
opera proved one of the most accept
able of these that have been presented
by the Metropolitan Opera Company.
Resides having the most lavish scen
ery and the most spectacular effects
of any v them, it was provided with
the most tuneful and pleasing operas
—something that the lay musician
could hum or whistle.
Dinh Gilly, if there were any other
of the artists that stood out pre-emi
nently at last night’s opera, was the
one. He shared the unreserved ap
probation of the vast audience with
Bori. and was given a particularly

Powerful, He Says

Clarion Call for Unlimited
Democracy.
Judge Joseph A. MeCollough. of
Greenville, S. C., declared to-day that
William Randolph Hearst’s editorial

Jury Will End Jail
Inquiry Wednesday

Investigation of Charges
of Cruelty.
The Grand Jury will conclude next
Wednesday an investigation into
conditions at the jail growing out of
the charges of cruelty made against
Wiley Roberts, commissary.
J. S. Owens, foreman, said to-day
that so far the investigation had de
veloped nothing that would call for
action unless it were a lack of man
