President Harding is not placing himself in an enviable position as far as the ex-serviceman is concerned. Certainly it does no harm to post- pone the consideration of the Debs case until after the peace proclama- tion has been promulgated, and, if personal popularity is to be considered by the President, he should favor no leniency toward the man, so promin- ent in his anti-givernment activities, so denounced by the American Legion. It is true, however, that the case of Debs should be considered on its merits—or demerits—without thought of results to those who make or advise the decision. But if there is any reason for leniency in his particular case, the fullest publicity should be given it in justice to the men who fought—the men who are able to see no justice in pardoning him. “Over 200 Bottles of Liquor Found Hidden Under Bed,” headline.

A news dispatch from London re Ports a Milan dispatch to the effect that it is authoritatively stated thai Glovanni Marinelli will succeed Caruso as the leadig tenor at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York. In view of Martinell’s compara- tively recent appearance in this city, the report is interesting. The singer i remembered as inspiring in his first mumber—one over which he studied as only great artists study to perfect their interpretation of a great work ~-but careless and not at all himself in many of the other works he ren- dered. Because of the rather poor con- dition of his voice that night, and be- cause of his eccentricities of manner, he did not leave as good an inpres- gion with New Britain music lovers as that which he was undoubtedly capable of giving under more fortu- nzte circumstances. It is for this reason that one is apt to belittle the power of Caruso— if this other singer is to succeed him development of motor transportation and the possibility of commonly used transportation in the air is here al- ready. Beyond that point we may not imaginations to stray, at Golden sunshine in the morning And my heart is full of song, ‘With the spirit of contentment, All the whole day long; Golden sunshine in the morning, Then the silv'ry moon at night And I can’t help a-thinking That the world’s all right. allow our least as yet. But the present day problems of transportation are concrete. Man to- day does not want transportation ar- ranged with a view as to what will be the best for a generation yet unborn. The first consideration should be what will best serve the people now living, now creating the things used in the life of today, now working to make life as comfortable and productive as possible and in such consideration the necessity of progress is not to be for- gotten. All the fairies are a-dancing To the music of the breeze And the angel choirs are singing In the tops of all the trees; All the fairies are a-dancing, Ev'ry solitary sprite, And they've just about convinced me That the world’s all right.

Suggestion was made that the name Debs and that -f Bergdoll were linked.

ESCAPE FROM RUSSIA Former Lawyer Flees Statc of Tur- moil With Wife; Last Greeting Was a Rifle Shot. Copenhagen, Aug. 4. — Waldimir Chessin, formerly consulting lawyer to the Danish and Swedish legations in Petrograd, with his wife, an ex- singer of the Imperial opera in Pet- rograd, recently arrived here after a perilous flight from Russia. Their last memory about Russia i3 a rifle shot sent after them whila crossing the frontier. Chessin, in the course of an inter- view, said “Lenin's regime i3 a rule of terror. This is proved by my own case. Since 1918, I have spent prac- tically all my time in prison in a filthy cell and but for my wife smug- gling food into the prison I would have starved to death. One hundred of my 125 fellow prisoners died from starvation. ° Russia today is a hell; that’s the truth about Lenin’s Rus- sia.

WIFE TELLS STORY OF FATAL SHOOTIN Hatfield’s Widb.ww('}'léims He and Chambers Were. Unarmed Matewan, W_Va., Aug. 4.—Sid Hat- field and Ed. Chambers, Mingo moun- taineers who were killed on the steps of the courthouse at Welch, McDowell county in a gun fight last Monday ‘were unarmed, their widows told news- papermen here today. Both Mrs. Hat- field and Mrs. Chambers accompanied their husbands to the court last Mon- day where Sid, former chief of police at Matewan was to have answered a charge of being the instigator of the “‘shooting up’' of Mohawk, McDowell county, last year. The widows said that they or their husbands did not anticipate trouble in ‘Welch and that Hatfield locked his pis- tols in a travelling bag and Chambers laid aside his arms before starting for the courthouse. The women declared that C. E.

Mrs. Chambers describing how she and her husband, and Sid and his wife, went to the courthousé¢ and started for the entrance said: “I heard a shot fired. I turned and I looked at my husband and he was fall- ing loose from my arms. The shooting then became general. I saw only two men shooting and they were C. E. Live- ly and a short, heavy set man who wore glasses.” Mrs. Hatfield said that she lost con- sciousness while the shooting was go- ing on. She charged the sheriff there with negligence in not protecting her husband. Hatfield, a principal figure in the in- dustrial controversy in Mingo was bur- ied yesterday in Buskirk, Ky., on the same lot as that of Mayor C. C.

Then | CARUSO’S FUNERAL AT FAMOUS CHURCH King Permits Use of Basilica of San Francisco di Paola Naples, Aug. 4. (By Associated Press)—Patrician and plebeian Naples gathered early today at the of the church of San Francisco di Paola in anticipation of witnessing the funeral of Enrico Caruso, 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 las tscene in the drama of the tenor’s life late yesterday after King Victor Emmanuel had given permis- sion 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. Representatives of the king and the royal family, the Italian government, the municipality and the were appointed to attend the services, and the United States, in which country Caruso rose to his greatest triumphs in the lyric art, had in- structed officials to appear at the funeral. The crowds which on Tuesday filed before the bier of the dead singer, were eclipsed yesterday when thousands gathered at the Hotel Vesuvius to pay their last respects to Caruso. So large was the throng that it was deemed advisable to re- move the body from the death cham- ber to the hall of the hotel, which was changed for the occasion into a chapel. About the body were placed flowers sént by friends and admirers of the dead man and the hall was transformed by them into a bower of exquisite beauty. basilica 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 intimate friend of Caruso and insisted upon helping to transfer the body to the temporary chapel. Mrs. Caruso has made formal ap- plication to the foreign minister, asking that the Italian ambassador at ‘Washington be instructed to seal the New York residence of the Ilate singer, pending a decision regarding the disposition of his estate. It has been reported the court here has de- cided to sequestrate all of Caruso’s property until Mrs. Caruso’s claims in behalf of her daughter are adjudi- cated. 5 The district judge of this city, upon request of Mrs. Caruso, has sealed the apartment occupied by the dead tenor in the Hotel Vesuvius. This step was taken to safeguard docu- ments and other effects. It is reported here that Caruso drew a will in 1910 bequeathing his whole esate, 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 a daughter, Gloria, brought a new element into the situation. She, according to Italian law, is now the only legal heir, except for a frac- tion of the estate which the law grants to the widow.

DIREGTOR Flaherty Is Again Their Supreme Knight San Francisco, Aug. 4.—William 7. Mulligan, of Thompsonville, Conn., nominated by Deputy John F. Cal- lahan of Hartford, Conn., was elected 4 new member of the supreme board of directors of the Knights of Col- umbus at its annual convention here. A great demonstration among the del- egates followed his electios. Mr. Mulligan, who was director of the entire war work activity in Unit- ed States and overseas of the Knights of Columbus during the World War, has long been prominent in the or- sanization’s activities. In honor of the part he played in the success o< that body’s war activities, he was created a knight commander of the Order of St. Gregory the Great by Pore Benedict recently. James A. Flaherty of Philadelphia was named for the seventh consecu- tive time as supreme knight of the Knights of Columbus, which is in its thirty-ninth international supremsa convention here. His election was uncnimous. The other officers elected are: Martin H. Carmody, Grand Rapids, Mich., deputy supreme knight; Wil- liam J. McGinley, New York, supreme secretary; Joseph C. Pellitier, Boston, supreme advocate; Daniel J. Callihan, Washington, supreme treasurer; D-:. E. W. Buckley, St. Paul, Minn., su- preme physician; David F. Suppls, San Francisco, supreme warden.
