KING MANUE HAS
INCOME CUT $4,000
American Girl Loses HOnOr-Au-
tia Stewart, VIE of Dom Miguel, OF
Braganza, Whose Father is Official
Portuguese Pretender, Barred From
ccesSiOn-ManHePs Action Closes
King Georges Purse

London, FEB. 4.-Former King Man
uel of Portugal has just lost $4,000
year from his income. Until Satur-
day this sum was furnished to him
from the private purse of King George
of England and at the same time he
lost the title of king in England also
by order of King George.
The same event which cost Manuel
the title of king caused the former
Anita Stewart daughter of William
Rhinelander Stewart, the bitterest dis
appointment, as it took from her all
hope Of ever being the wife OF an Off
cial pretender to the Portuguese throl e
with the courtesy title of queen"
Renowned Claims to Throne.
This event was the formal renuncia-
ton by Manuel of all claims to the
Portuguese throne in favor of the Bra
ganzas, which took place a fortnight
before the marriage of Manuel AMI
Princess Augustine of Hohenzollern ut
Sigmaringen.
The father of the princess refused
positively to allow the marriage Of his
daughter with a man who might be
mixed up with such bloody affairs as
the Portuguese revolutionists have
staged within the last few years.
Manuel, who had already earned the
contempt of King Alfonso of Spain b.
his refusal to take part in plots for a
restoration of the monarchy in Portu-
gal, and who is not the more liked by
the royalists on account of his refusal
to contribute money to the royalist
cause, readily fell in with his prospect
i've father-in-law's desires A fortnight
l efore the marriage, by formal contract
he resigned all pretensions to the
throne Of Portugal in favor Of the
Braganzas.
Barred by American Wife.
Six weeks ago, at a meeting of all
the Braganzas in Vienna, Dom Miguel
of Braganza, who is now 81 years old,
was formally chosen as pretender
while at the same meeting it was decid-
ed that it was impossible for the eldest
son, Dom Miguel the husband of for
mer Anita Stewart, to succeed to the
title of pretender, because he had mar
ried an American, and not a person Of
royal blood, and the tights of the pre-
tender should fall tc, the second son,

IACKSONVIIE MAKING PREPARATIONS
FOR CONFEDERATE VETERAN REUNION

Young declared that Jacksonville was
setting a precedent that would certain
ly be appreciated by the veterans, and
paid a high compliment to the citizens
who made the proposition.
Jacksonville has confidence in its
ability to carry out these plans. The
first change is made possible by ST.
perior hotels, boarding houses and pr
vate homes, all of which will be open
to the veterans; the second change by
the very large number of automobiles,
carriages and sightseeing cars in the
city. jacksonville has a greater num-
Der of hotels than any city that has
entertained the Confederate reunion
since it's meeting in Louisville 1t has
four times as many hotels as Chatta-
nooga, and probably the same as to
Little Rock and Macon. If these cities
two of which broke all records in at
tendance, took care of all but 1900 Of
the visitors there is no doubt that
Jacksonville can care for a record
breaking crowd and have room to
spare. The average number of yeter
ans cared for at the Chattanooga camp
was 1900. All other visitors were ac-
eommodated in the notes, boarding
houses and private homes OF that city.
The attendance at the Chattanooga re-
union was about 100000. Jacksonville
can easily accommodate 10000 because
of it's superior hotel facilities.
And Jacksonville expects crowd
that large. All over the South and in
many northern communities, interest
in the Jacksonville reunion is already
very great. Every state division re-
ports that a large crowd will attend
Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and those
states closer to Jacksonville, are al
ready making arrangements with the
railroads to handle large crowds that
intend coming to the reunion. This
interest three months before the date
of the meeting foreshadows a very
large attendance, and Jacksonville is
preparing to take care of it. All who
come will be cared for in manner
entirely satisfactory.

For the afternoon or dance frock,
crepe de Chine is youthful and the

The State Prison Board has proven
itself in sympathy with all common
sense suggestions relative to the inn
provement of convict camp conditions
in all parts of the state. Several meas
Ures presented by Philip Welter and
the Georgia Prison Association before
the legislature last year had the full
endorsement of Chairman R. E. Dav-
ison Of the prison board, and while tho
board does not sympathize with ex-
tremist views on the subject it has
many times expressed its willingness
to give attention always when sugges-
tons of practical value for the i'm
provement of convict conditions are
brought forward. =
Assurance has been given at the
outset of the present investigation that
if conditions in Fulton county are any
thing like they have been depicted, the
persons to blame shall be made to
suffer for it and men will be put in
charge of the camps who will know
how to conduct them on more humane

STATE PRISON Commission

Members of the state board, several

travelling around the state inspecting
camps, declare that if the conditions
in Fulton are what they have been
painted, they are by no means typical
of general conditions in Georgia. 1t
may be, they say, that conditions are
worse in the Fulton camps because
being nearest to the capital and larg-
est city in the state, they have more
difficult class of convicts to deal with
