MISSES DEATH IN Morans . enjoy A din- ner will be served at the pond and SUMMER SCHOOL IS COMPLETING WORK Attendance and Production I Largest Ever The sessions of the Daily Bible school, conducted by the Protestant churches of this city during the sum- mer at the Center church, are draw- ing to a close and the rest of the work of the school will probably be completed within a few days. This year has been the most suc- cessful ever attempted. The attend- ance has far exceeded any expecta- tions of those in charge and the in- terest in the work has been above par. The school is conducted under the supervision of Rev. F. H. Wilkins who has a staff of 26 teachers to assist him. Despite the rain-this morning there were 102 children present and the 26 teachers reported for duty. Last year the teachers numbered around 14. Today the children attending, worked hard to complete work they have started. All but one boy com- pleied their work on hammocks and he will complete it by tomorrow or Thursday. There will be no unfinished work this year contrary to custom. Mrs. George Clary returned to the school this morning from Northfield where she has been taking the sum- mer course and was immediately engaged in work with the dittle tots, giving them the benefits of the knowl- edge she had picked up at the sum- mer school. The work of the children will be placed on exhibition in McMillan's store window from Monday to Thurs- day of next week where the city people. will have a chanee to review the work of the school as well as the children. The annual picnic will be held a week from tomorrow at Rockwell park in Bristol. The youngsters will be transported on special cars and will be the guests at a picnic dinner to be served by local women. All who have been regular in attendance will be invited to go along on the outing. FOREIGN-BORN IN CONN. SHOWS GAINS Numbered 328,759 in 1910, Cmpared to 376,513 in 1920—21,046 Are Colored Pecople.

CARUSO’S FUNERAL HELD THIS MORNING Sorrowing Naples and All Taly Pays Final Tribute - Naples, Aug. 3.— (By Associated Press)—Sorrowing Naples and Italy today paid tribute to the memory of Enrico Caruso, the great tenor, who died here early yesterday morning. Thousands gathered at a solemn re- quiem mass, celebrated at the Church of Madonna della Gracia, or stood uncovered along the streets leading to that edifice while the funeral cor- tege passed.- In the choir which as- sisted in the impressive ceremonies were many men and women who have played stellar roles on the operatic stage. Scenes of extreme pathos were en- acted all day yesterday at the Hotel Vesuvius, following the death of the man popularly acknowledged to be the premier tenor of his generation. Neapolitans of every class stood in line for many heurs to file past the bier of Caruso whicn was placed in the room where he had died. From time to time the silent procession would pause while some man or wo- man would kneel for a moment be- side the body and offer prayer. The body was clad in evening clothes and over it was shed the mel- low light of four candles, two at the head and two at the feet. At the dead tenor’'s side were garlands of roses arranged personally by Mrs. Caruso. The master singer, who had for nearly a quarter of a century enacted roles in which death was an unseen player, apparently was cognizant of his critical conditien, following his sudden illness on Monday. Just be- fore he sank into the coma which was the prelude to the end, he said to his son, Rodolfo: “I feel very ill. .This time it will ba difficult to escape.” Newspapers of this city, in telling of the death of Caruso, quote one of the attending physicians as say- ing: “I and my colleagues believe Car- uso never fully recovered from his illness in New York last winter. His long sickness from pleurisy weakened his resistance.” IS NOT URGING ALTERATIONS NOW Building Inspector Inclined to be Lenient With People Out of Work, ‘Will Not Press Work. People who are hard hit by the in- dustrial depression will not be forced to make alterations to their homes, recommended by the fire prevention bureau, until they are able finan- cially to do so, according to a state- ment issued by Building Inspector John W. Allen. Many recommendations for altera- tions are received by Mr. Allen from Deputy Fire Chief E. F. Barnes, in an effort to lessen the fire danger in the city. In prosperous or mnormal times, property owners would have to comply with orders issued by the building inspector in line with these recommendations, or prosecutions would follow. It is impossible to do this now, according to Mr. Allen, be-, cause many people say they do not have money enough to pay their taxea and water rent. According to records at the inspec- tor's office, building has fallen off considerably regently and the work- ing people are not building homes at this time. Building records during July to- talled only $46,087.25. Of this sum $11,922.25 was expended for altera- tions. +Eighty-five permits were Is- sued. FEight tenements and four stores were built. Six fire escapes were erected and eight building ap- plications wera rejected. TRAILED T0 MEXICO Sleuths Find Indications That Miss- ing Chicago Banker Has Crossed In- ternational Border. Chicago, Aug. 3.—With the trail of Warren C. Spurgin, missing president of the closed Michigan Avenue Trust Co., leading into Mexico and the au- thorities apparently close on his whereabouts, local authorities as well as those financially interested in ‘the bank today considered his apprehen- son imminent. It is also hoped that the bank's shortage of $1,124,368 as announced by bank examiners may be materially lessened by the determination of the value of loans, bond$ and stocks that ul, RECORDS BROKEN FOR JULY OVER $100,000 WORTH OF CARS have been delivered on our new time-payment plan since our announcement July 15th. We announced at that time that we would dispose of $150,000 worth of Ford cars at $100 down and balance in small pay- ments, in an effort to break all previous selling records and we have accomplished this for July. We will continue to offer the balance of $50,000 worth for August. You will have to step lively if you want one. There are hundreds of our best citizens in Northern Connecticut who have a great deal of money tied up in different investments and whose credit is perfectly good but do not always have ready cash. We are therefore making this special offer as we have explicit confidence in our friends, in the citizens of Connec- ticut and the future of America’s prosperity. Our new time-payment plan has been the means of selling hundreds of cars to the business men and farmers of Connecticut and has given us a record of 100% over last year. Over 100 cars delivered the past week. We expect August to be a bigger month than ever because it is- the best time for your vacation and hundreds have already secured a Ford and started on their vacation. Get yours tomorrow. $100 DOWN BALANCE IN Buys SMALL PAYMENTS Any Model DON’T THINK OF BUYING A USED CAR—JUST GO AND BUY A NEW FORD and your troubles are over, as any used car will cost the difference in repair bills thereafter. Everybody can now afford to buy a new car and enjoy health and happiness. IT COSTS LESS TO TRAVEL WITH FIVE PERSONS IN A FORD THAN IT WOULD COST ONE PERSON ON THE RAILROAD. THINK THIS OVER AND DON,T DELAY ORDERING AT ONCE ! = We unloaded SEVEN CARLOADS Wednesday and you can have one if you speak quickly. ELMER AUTOMOBILE CO STATE POLICE DEPT. UNDER NEW REGIME PR E. L.
