DOES CARUSO
 FEAR CAMMORA

Atlanta, April 4-Fears are beginning to crop out that Enrico Caruso, one of the big drawing cards of the Metropolitan grand opera engagement in Atlanta the latter part of April, will not be here
 Stories have been published in New York to the effect that he is i'll; that his voice has been affected and that his phy- sicians have forbidden his singing again this season.
 On the other hand this report is denied, and it is stated that the real reason back of Caruso's refusal to appear on the stage, at least on the Metropolitan stage in New York. is the fear of the Black Hand. or of injury of fatality from some other dire and terrible source.
 If fear is the correct diagnosis of Ca rusos malady, the question at once pre- sents itself as to whether he would not be equally afraid to appear on an Att lanta or a New York stage. According to the fear story, or theory, it is said Caruso has practically made up his mind never again to appear in a grand opera in which he has to appear to stand or shoot someone, or to be stabbed or shot at.
 Report has it that a palmist foretold that upon some such occasion as this he would meet some injury, possibly fatal. and to avoid the possibility of it Caruso has decided to keep out of all such situa- tions. This would mean that even if he came to Atlanta he would not appear in Puccini's The Girl of the Golden West.r in which many have looked forward to the greatest pleasure in hearing him.
 With the brightest star gone, a constel- lation is bound to appear dim even though a number of the worlds foremost sing CTS will be here.
 The management is hoping that for the Atlanta engagement Caruso will lay aside his fears, though it has been unable to get any definite word on the subject so far. Caruso pretended to enjoy his visit to- Atlanta last year, and some hope Of his return in spite of the rumors is based upon that fact.

WILL ARb|TRATE
 b|G LAND CLAIMS

Vancouver, B. C., April 4-Great Britain and the United States have agreed to arbitrate the Webster claim involving ownership of millions of acres of lands in New Zealand. This was an nounced today by Dr. J. c, Findlay, attorney general of New Zealand, who, with Sir Joseph Ward, pre-emptory of the commonwealth, reached here from Tanitpodes, en route to London. The personnel of the board has not yet been settled.
 The claimants are descendants of Capt. J. Webster, Newb edfofd, Mass, whaler, who operated in the South seas in the early thirties, making his head quarters in New Zealand at a period before Great Britain established a gov ernment in the islands.
 The claim has been pending before the American state department for years. The claimants demand compen- sation for lands which, 1t Is maintained; were given Captain Webster by various Maori chiefs. These lands, after the captains death, became vested in the crown and were subsequently, occupied by settlers and comprise some of the most fertile arease in New Zealand.
 Webster, dying in the United States. left a will bequeathing his New Zea- land property to his heirs.

CHECK ON
 LIQUOR SHIPMENTS

Atlanta, April 4.-(Special.)-It will be an easy matter for the police department to ascertain just how much liquor this or that man consumes, provided the Me- Clelland ordinance ever becomes a law
 This ordinance has stirred Atlanta as has no similar proposal in many months. It is the subject of street corner talk; the preachers are all preaching about it and urging its adoption; before the end Is reached it is liable to become the sub- ject of interesting and long-drawn-out litigation.
 This ordinance proposes to require that railroad and express companies shall fur nish to the police the names of all con signees of liquor shipments together with a description of the package, and from this information it is presumed the police will be able to make whatever deductions are necessary in ferreting out violators of the law.
 The ordinance was designed primarily to enable the police department to detect blind tiger operators; but it will also serve as a guide, should it become law, to the extent of liquor consumption in the city, both by individuals and in the clubs.
 Before finally passing it. or attempting to put it through, however, the city coun- cil has determined to make a little more careful and thorough Investigation as to it's legality.
 Attorneys for the express company and the railroads have attempted to throw all sorts of doubt upon the legality of the ordinance, asserting that it would be in violation of the interstate commerce act, in that it would constitute undue tinterfer- ence with interstate shipments.
 Upon this theory the express officials have promised that they would fight the ordinance in the courts to the bitter end should council put it through.
 On the other hand 1t is held that the en- actment of such a law woulds be but the lawful exercise of the city's police au- thorty in dealing with the liquor traffic.
 Howevr, council wants to be a little more certain before taking the leap. Therefore the city attorney and the law yers in council will be pat on the job. They will probably report back to council within 10 days or two weeks as to whether in their opinion the ordinance would stand the test of the courts.
 Then council may or may not adopt the ordinances it depends on the relative strength of the forces on either side when 1t comes up for action.

BOSS GEORGE COX
 GIVES HIMSELF UP

Cincinnati, April 4.-After vain search for George B. Cox. lasting three days, finally giving up the chase and determined to apprehend the repub- lican leader and financier on warrant charging him with being a fugitive from justice, the prosecuting attorneys office was given surprise when Cox appeared at the courthouse and acknowledged service of the new indict- ment issued against him on Friday, charging him with perjury. Cox ap- peaped before Presiding Judge Hunt, hebond was fixed at 5000, which he immediately gave. and was released from custody.
 Shortly afterward Judge Hunt am nuonced that he was ready to try the Cox case, but the attorneys for Cox argued that inasmuch as Judge Hunt as the presiding judge, had decided "a bias and prejudice" affidavit against Judge Gormcn, that the presiding judge was prevented from trying the case and, requested him to select some other judge. Judge Hunt announced he would appoint another judge tomorrow. The change of venue, ordered by Judge German shortly after the new indiet- ment against Cox was found was nuli- fled according to Presiding Judge Hunt.

CANADIAN OBJECTS
 TO NEGRO SETTLERS

Ottawa. Ont- April 1.-The move ment of negroes into western Canada to take up free -homesteads3was brought up in parliament today byfMr. Thoburns an Ontario member. who declared that hundreds of negro settlers had emi- grated from sthe United States and at the rate the movement was growing there soon would be thousands of them planted in the northwest. He as- serted that they were not suited to Canadian condition and would not make desirable settlers. The govern ment, he said. should do something to discourage the movement.
 Minister of the Interior Oliver re- piled that the Canadian laws do not permit the entry of negro settlers anu the government could only administer the law. While the situation was being carefully watched. the government had not yet seen fit to take drastic action.

what the man said, which was something to this effect:
 q suppose, then, there won't be any padding at all, and I detest looking like a champagne bottle Oh! of course, cut 1t according to the latest style, and I will decide upon that light gray material, all though I like tan much better"
 '.Of course. He's just the color of a squash peggy pudged me, and said as we huddled together in corner, so as to be as inconspicuous as possible, re- membering certain seances we had had with dressmakers, with bystanders gazing on, but which were as light and airy functions compared to this tremendous symposium by a species of the "lords of cration."
 When we thought the gentleman was well out of sight we timidly crawled out of our hiding place and started to en- gage the tailor in conversation relative to the spring styles for men, when the gentleman thrust his head back through the door and called out loudly to the tailor: Say, be sure not to put any but tons on the coat pockets. I simply can't stand buttons on pockets"
 He's a perfect Miss Nancy mur7 mured Peggy, and then smiled her sweet est smile as the tailor came forward and gallantly said:
 What can I do for the ladies?'
 we haven't come to order harem skirt,' laughingly said Peggy, "but to get Dolly story about mems clothes"
 "De-lighted,' smiled the tailor, putting all the fervor that he could summons on the word that has made Teddy famous.
 "Is there any hope of a return of knee breeches?" asked Peggy, assisting with the interview.
 'What?" asked the tailor, with faint
