NEGUS MAY MAKE HIS ALHAMBRA
HOME IN WIMBLEDON
NOW LIVING IN £25 SUITE AT HOTEL
BLACK-ROBED Haile Selassic, his daughter, Princess Taninania, and her eight-years-old son, moved into the Castle Towers Hotel, Wimbledon Common.
They are occupying a four-roomed suite overlooking the Common. With them are the Emperor's secretary, Mr., Mrs., and Miss Shelley, English friends of the Princess, and members of the Negus's suite. It is costing the Negus £26 a week to stay at the hotel.
The party arrived at Paddington Station at 6.30 p.m. yes- terday from Lydbury North, Shropshire, where Halle Selassie had been staying at Walcot Hall with friends. They were met at the station by the Emperor's private car and driven straight to the hotel.
Mrs. Mallett, manageress of the hotel, in a statement to the Sunday Dispatch, said: "The Em- peror has engaged the suite for a week, but he may be staying here indefinitely.
"I understand that he wished to live near London in order to keep in touch with the political situation.
A HOUSE
"It is possible that he will look for a house in Wimbledon when he has settled down."
Haile Selussle, who recently bade good-bye to his wife, the Empress Menen, and his six-year-old son, Ras Kassa, when they left England for Jerusalem, is sald to be in poor health.
He will be treated as an ordinary guest in the hotel, and will take all his meals in the restaurant.
No particular significance attaches to his visit to London, the Sunday Dispatch was informed in Bath.
SCHOOL
Fairfield, his house at Bath, is still in his occupation, and there is a staff of 10 or 12 still in residence.
"As far as I know, he is not leav ing Bath," a prominent member of the staff said.
"The Emperor's son, the Duke of Iurar, is still a boarder at St Christopher's School, Bait, and
a grandson is at King's College, Taunton.

The Russian commercial mission in Italy, composed of M. Delenky, M. Popoff and M. Serfighter, has ap- pealed against the order for seizure, and their case will come up before the Milan court on May . Menn- haa while, the Ansaldo Company discovered that the mission possesses the equivalent of only £10,000 capl- tal in Italy.
Russla declares that two of her merchant vessels have been unlaw- fully detained in Italian ports, and that Italy owes her large suma for quantities of oil supplied over a long period. The amount due to Italy has been lodged in the State Bank at Moscow, and, according to Rus- sian authorities, will not be released until the oll is paid for.
