possesses valuable collections of jewels, oilpaintings, rare tapes tries, miniatures and priceless old coins.
 Unlike other exiled kings, Man uel has been allowed to retain all his estates and other property in Portugal The annual income from these is said 10 exceed $1,0OO,001 The former sovereign's mother, ex- queen Amelia, who is living in France, also has immense holdings in real estate in Portugal, whic.l yield her large income.
 Although Manuel has never for mally abdicated, it is declared ;oy supporters of the present repubilc that the handsome exile has little chance of ever regaining the throne which np to the time he was de- throned, had been occupied by the Braganza dynasty for more than three hundred and fifty years.
 These adherents of the republic argue that Portugal has made more progress in the twenty years under republican governments than for any similar period in monarchist!c times, and that therefore the Portl- guese people as a whole do not favor a return of the king.
 Moreover, the dictatorial goverN- mcnt of General Carmona has sup pressed all active monarchistic clements within Portugal. the only important royalsts now residing ln France or England, where it is said they can do little to overthrow the existing militaristic regime IT. Lisbon.
 Throughout his long exile, Man lel, who succeeded to the throre after the assassination of his father and brother in 1908, has COIL 1ucted himself in a way to win tn. approval of even some sworn ene- mics of the monarchy. He has nd identified himself with any move ment for restoration of the dynas ty, nor has he associated himself with any other enemies of the republic.
 It was because of his exemplary attitude in that respect that the republic has allowed him to retain his properties in Portugal.
 The cXlled king and his mother have also won genera public ap- probation by continued support of 1 Portugueses charities and public enterprises. Only recently Manuel turned over to charities here all the proceeds from his recent mo rnoirs which were published in England. Similarly Queen Amelia devoted to the aid of Portuguese sufferers from tuberculosis tile money derived from the sale of a book of poetry which she wrote Tn France.

MANHATTAN WOMAN ADOPTS DEREL|CTS
Mysterious Lady Bountiiu Is
 Angel" to 5000 Persons

New York, March 11-She adopt ted" some 5000 ragged, homeless, hungry derelicts z. |. (.
 Within a period of there years, she gave away s120,000 that men might have warm clothes on their hacks, food in their stomachs and roofs over their heads.
 Yet so mysteriously and quietly did Miss Marion Spore so about her humanitarian operations that no one "outside the immediate family" knew that a new "angei' had come to the lower Bowery.
 She did not want anyone to know and is a bit disturbed that her secret has been discovered. For she managed to raise $40,oH0 q year without any charity organ- ization or solicitation of funds.
 Even today, when her personal ly conducted bread line has come to the attention of Manhattan's millions, she chooses not to eN- plain how the funds are secured. She has money of her own and a few friends to whom she turns with which casual explanation, the trim, smartly dressed 'red-hair=1 angel" dismisses the matter.
 Started with $10
 She will admit tht she start2l with a s10 bill. One morning, three years ago, she picked up a newspaper and read therein Il story of two men, found half dea ] from exhaustion and hunger in q Bowery doorway.
 T never could stand suffering, so I went down 10 see exactly what conditions were" she relates.
 Then she hustled back to her apartment-studio in Park avenue and began to figure things out. 4 few days later warmly wrapped in a smart fur coat, and driven oy her chauffeur, the mysterious Lady Bountifu' appeared with [ huge roll cf tickets, took mp he, stand in the street and let it be | known that these bits of papel could be turned in for clothing food and rooms.
 Thereafter, during the buster, winter months, she would appea twice a week. Soon the policemen O. the n5ighborhood were "coG verted' and came to help het They would keep the men in lins and they would whisper in her ca! about certain "bums" and pan handlers" and "smokes"
 So that today, Marion Spor, knows a repeater" block away She knows, out of 5000 men, tn one she presented with a leathe coat and the one she endowa, with q wooden shirt. She not onI, 1 knows she reminds each of h. "adopted' ones. She inquircs What became of that jacket? Di you pawn it ?" .A

gest what they want. She sizes them from hat to shoes in a sec- ond-
 "Oh. yes, you need shoes :. VI "Yes, I know, you're hungry .. " "A shave wouldn't do you any harm if you're really looking for a job ', ."
 All of which has been going 1n behind the backs of New York5 millions for a couple of wintet5. She never sought publicity She doesn't want it now. She asks To contributions from anyone.

 The chances are she'll try to sidetrack your questions on her Bcwery family and discuss the symbolism of the pre-Confucian Chinese art
 After tima, you may learn that she came from Bay City. Mich. that her mother died and she was left some money . never mind how much. That after the be- rcavement, she had visitation from beyond the grave which cans ed her to take an interest in psy- ohical research. That she began to demonstrate such psychic pow CTS that Walter Prince, of the American Society for Psychic Re search, attributed her with phG- nomenal gifts and the late Houdini admitted that she was the one psychic he could not explain.

 Santa Ana, Cal, March II R- Because of the illness of her hus- band, Mrs. William A. Edwards, a sister of William Howard Taft, was forced to remain at her home on a ranch here today as the nation paid it's tribute to the former president and chief justice.
