Mattiford 50 Years Old. Mattiford came here from Philadel phia a few years ago to become con nected with the local offices of the Otis Elevator Company. He lived for u time in the Piedmont Hotel and was known about the clubs. He is .said to he worth $25,000 or $30,000. He is 50 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.

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.’ plaints Are .Numerous.

"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.

Barwick has in his possession nu 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 ing."

West End. the closing two performances the re ceipts would go ir. excess of $85,000, 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. Givers to Inaugural Not to Lose Heavily Subscribers to Fund for March 4 Expenses Get Back Part of Money.

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.

Later a royal proclamation, sign ed by Nicholas, proclaimed Scutari the future residence of Montenegrin kings.

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.

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.
