Kahn, chai man of the board of directors and Hen-| ry Rogers Winthrop, vice president. Many other men who have a voice in the conduct of the Metropolitan _ also were out of the city. Caruso's earnings, like his fame, sur- passed those of other singers. His an- general map- agement should nof renew Caruso's con- tract for the next year. Buenos Aires for’ the next twelve vears heard only echoes of Caruso's tri- umphs from New York and from Euro- pean capitals, but in 1915 When the New Colon Opera House had been built, its management paid Casnso 350.00 francs for ten performances, compared With with 30,000 francs for the whole season when he first appeared in Buenos Aires. 1915 His_ reception 1917 was enthusiastic. in and Career of Carnso Enrico Caruso, for more than 25 years a celebrity in the world of song, the tenor with “the golden voice” idolized by mil- lions in America and abroad, had an ar- tistic career as well known as that of any famous statesman or miitary Jeader. o was born in Naples, Italy, February £6,560,000 tons, The 11 crops referred nual income ranged zround half a mil- 1873, the soh of Marcelitus Caruso, a o'in the report are corn, wheat, oats, | *§e Ofpthose who attend the feld trip. |jion dollars, it was sald todayat the|meohanic, who detested music but was narley, rve, rice, flaxseed, cotton (Includ: I 1o wooanied Japanese onion. set, tag |Metropolitan Opera House. persuaded to permit his son, when 11 ing seed), tobacco, potatoes and culti- 8 Plans for the establishment of a na-|years old, to sing in the churches of his ed Great quantities of lettuce have gone to waste in Connecticut this summer be- cause mand. season, has tuce and not only was the ge b cent. the quantity, agcording to A.

It is probable, Dr. Miele said, that aCaruso foundation for training young opera singers, or a Caruso theatre, to present Italian opera, will be established. Proceeds from the proposed theatre will be used to aid young singers. Leading patrons of art Will be asked to join the movement. “Enrico Caruso,” said Dr. Miele, “did more for the Ttalian race in this couptry than any single individual and the loss will strike deep i to the hearts of all Ital- ians and Americans of Italian birth or descent, as welell as all lovers of the purest of arts, nd matter what their na- tionalities.” Referring to the plans for a founda- tion, Dr. Miele said: “In that way it may be possible to rear another Caruso who will delight the hearts of future generations as Caruso's golden voice and art have delighted the heartsof the present. genration.” A cablegram was sent to Mrs. Caruso at Naples expressing sympathy and inform- ingt her of the intention of . the order to native city. An unpromising pupil, for three years he studied under Guglielmo Vergine, pledging his teacher that when ready for a professional career he should pay him une-quarter of his earnings for the following five years. He made his debut in “L’ Amico Fran- cesco55 at the Nuovo .Theatre, Naples, in 1894, later toured Italy and Sicily, and was later engaged for four seasons at La Scala, Milan. Subsequently he sang in St. Petersburg, Moscow, War- saw. Rome, Lisbon, Paris, London and leading cities of Germany. When he cape to the Metropolitan Opera House in New York on November 23, 1903, the critics did not go into ecstacies over him. One of them wrote, on the opening night: Signor Caruso (as the Duke of ‘Rigolet- to') has many of the tiresome Italian vocal affectations and when he neglects to cover his tones, as he always does when me becomes strenuous, his voice becomes pallid.” It is interesting to observe that when Caruso made his Naples debut he sang the title role four times for which he re- ceived 100 francs, a pair of stage. shoes, a suit of fleshings and a neckerchief.

Like other prominent Wall street men he was forced to leave his automobile & block from the scene and walk past the fire to his offics. The Mor- zan building was under a heavy guard of_oplice. With the exceptlon of the annunciator board the exchange suffered little dam- age except from smoke, although water poured over the floor. The total dam- age was estimated by fire officials at 25,008, ‘While firemen battled with the flames, scores of Tiveters remained aloft on the great steel skeleton of the annex, calmly continuing, their work until smoke drove them down. Then they aided firemen to scale the steel girders and pour water on the fire. There was a loud cheer from members when trading was resumed, and trading was unusually brisk because of the large accumulation of orders. Firemen re- mained about the building with lines of hose, lest the blaze break out afresh. Officials recalled tonight that this was the first time in the exchange's history that fire had interfered with business. Ten months ago 2 slight fire was diseov- ered in the building, but it was soon ex- tinguished. The exchange was last unexpectedly closed gn the afternoon of Sept. 16, 1920, when the Wall street explosion occurred within a few yards of today's fire. In December, 1819, opening of the market was postponed haif an hour because of a severe snowstorm. Prior to two months’ suspension of trading in the war summer of 1914, reg- ular business 6f the exchange had not been interrupted since May, 1901, when, after a local panic, a day was needed to check up accaunts. The blizzard of March, 1888, necessi- tated suspension of trading for a day and a half. Prior to that time, the exchange never had been closed except for ten days in 1873, when a number of failures occurred.
