NAPLES, August 4.—Patrician and plebeian Naples gathered early today at the basilica of the Church of San Francisco di Paola in anticipation of witnessing the funeral of Enrico Ca- ruso, the world-famous tenor, who died here on Tuesday. The edifice, situated in the southern part of the city, near the hotel where the great singer breathed his last, was decided upon as the last scene in the drama of the tenor's life late yesterday. after King Victor Emmanuel had given permission that it might be used for this purpose. As soon as word reached Naples that the basilica had been set apart for the funeral, workmen were en- gaged to construct a great platform to accommodate the 400 singers se- lected to assist in the last requiem. In the center of the basilica was erected a large catafalque on which the coffin would be laid. United States Officials There. Representatives of the king and the royal family, the Itallan govern- ment, the municipality and the pre- fecture were appointed to attend the services, and the United States, in which country Caruso ro: o his greatest triumphs in the lyric art, had instructed officials to appear at the funeral. The crowds, which, on Tuesday, filed before the bier of the dead singer, were eclipsed yesterday, when tho sands gathered at the Hotel Vesuvius to pay their last respects to Caruso. So large was the throng that it was deemed advisable to remove the body from the death chamber to the hall of the hotel, which was changed for the occasion into a chapel. About the body were placed flowers sent by friends and admirers of the dead man, and the hall was transformed by them into @ bower of exquisite beauty. Titta Ruffo, the Italian baritone, who has in recent years achieved fame in { America, arrived during the day and | hastened to the hotel. He was an in- timate friend of Caruso, and insisted upon helping to transfer the body to the temporary chapel. Asks Home Be Sealed. Mrs. Caruso has made formal appli- cation to_the foreign minister, asking !that the Italian ambassador at Wash- {ington be instructed to seal the New | York residence of the late singer, pending a decision regarding the dis- position of his estate. It has been reported the court here has decided to sequestrate all of Caruso's property until Mrs. Caruso’s claims in behalf of her daughter are adjudicated. The district judge of this city, upon request of Mrs. Caruso, has sealed the {apartment occupled by the dead tenor in the Hotel Vesuvius. This step was taken to safeguard the dead singer's documents and other effects. {1t is reported here that Caruso drew 'a will some years ago, bequeathing his whole estate, according to Italian legal procedure, to his brother and two sons. In the meantime he was married in the United States, and the birth of his daughter Gloria brought a new element into the situation. She, according to Italian law, is now the only legal heir, except for a fraction of the estate which the law grants the widow. PRAISES U. 8. DOCTORS. Did All Humanly Possible, Says Italy’s Greatest Surgeon. ROME, August 4.—The Amebican doctors who attended Enrico Caruso in New York during his criti ill- ness last winter did “all that was humanly possible under the condi- tions of the patient; they could not do _more.” This opinion was given to the As- sociated Press today by Dr. Raffaele Bastianelli, reputed to be the great- est surgeon in Italy, who with his brother Giuseppe attended the famous singer when he suffered the relapse last week which 1=d to his death. Regarding Caruso’s illness in Ameri- ca, Dr. Bastlanelll said, “It was un- doubtedly putrid empyema, which immediately put the patient in such a grave condition that it must be con- sidered a miracle that the American doctors succeeded in saving his life.” Recounts Last Days. Recounting the last few days of Caruso's illness, the femous surgeon said: I, with my brother Giuseppe, vis- ited Caruso professionally on July 28 at Sorrento. After a careful examination we both agreed that the present and past suffering of the great tenor was |derived from a subrenal abscess, probably in the left kidney. “We immediately decided that Ca- ruso should be taken to Rome and submitted to an Xeray examination in order to complete our diagnosis, and also as a guide for the opgration which was to have been execufed im= mediately after. At that time Ca- ruso’s condition was relatively good. This was emphasized by the fact that he laughed and joked with us, ex- plaining by operatic motions how he sa o strong was he then that he stood up before us and made a mo- tion of singing in the act of reaching high notes in the midst of a dramatic getting. Then he sald, jocosely: “‘When I was about to reach a high note during a performance in America something caught me in the throat. I put my hand to my mouth in an effort to regain myself, when out spurted a mouthful of blood.’ “Caruso laughed as he demonstrat- ed this condition to us.” ‘Wanted to Resume Career. “His chief thought was that of re- suming his career and being able to return to the stage and sing again. This was his greatest anxiety. He chatted and talked apparently at ease, comfortably exhibiting in that’ big, robust physique his ideas with ges- tures and smiles. Therefore our opinion warranted his coming to Rome, where the operation could be performed under conditions where hospital appliances were more com- plete and modern to handle his case.’ Returning to the subject of Caruso’s illness in America, the surgeon sald that the grave complication of Ca- ruso’s ailment at that time “absorbed the entire attention of the doctors, who could not occupy themselves with anything else than to attend to it, but we know that Dr. Erdmann (one of the American physicians who attended Caruso) realized the exist- ence of the subrenal abscess. Showed Greatest Skill. “The American doctors showed the greatest professional skill and tech- nique in the operation they performed. Their work commands the greatest admiration and respect, doctors enjoy throughout the world.” As a parting word, the famous Italian surgeon said to the cor- respondent: “Whatever you can say in praise of American doctors, say it as com- lni from me.” 18 brother, Giuseppe, is known as Italy’s great physician. Both spe- cialists married American women. Dr. Raffaele Bastianell's wife was Miss Lucille Loomis of Ofl City, Pa., and Dr. Giuseppe Bastianelll's wife was Miss Marion Rawle of Philadelphia.
