New York, Nov. 81 Thorough
preparations We're made by the police
department and counsel to proceed
with the case against Enrico Caruso,
the famous tenor Of the Metropolitan
Opera company. for a hearing in po-
lice court on the charge that Caruso
annoyed a woman in the monkey
house at Cen raj park
Neither Caruso nor the woman in
the case, who gave her name as Mrs.
Hannah K. Graham of Bronx borough,
appeared when the case was called.
The police said they could not find
Mrs Graham. CaruSo sent a phySi-
clans certificate that he was too i'll
to come.
In the absence Of the witness, the
detective who arrested Caruso is pre-
pared to go on with the case and act
as complainant, declaring that he wit
messed the annoyance of which Mrs.
Graham complained.
Heinrich Conried OF the Metropoli-
tan Opera House, has loyalty defend
ed Caruso from the charge, and the
singer himself asserts that he was a
victim Of extraordinary circumstances
or of an attempt to make false case
against him.
Police Captain Stephenson of Cen
trail park station said he was inform
ed by a prominent business man who
knows Mrs. Graham that she would
not appear in court for anything, as
she does not want TO be snap-shotted
and have her name spread about the
city and perhaps the country" Cap
tain Stephenson said his informan
told him that Mrs. Graham is a wo-
man of eminent responsibility. He de-
clares that her failure to appear
would make little difference as to the
outcome of the case against Caruso.

young fellows. who are Office boys,
messengers and the like throughout
New York, and there is room for six
more. For these six vacancies there
are SO many applications that at the
outset 1t is realized that larger estab-
lishment must be found, and for such
a place there is search being made.
There is nothing Of charity about the
establishment. Each one pays accord

the privilege Of having his own room,
his own possessions, with only the re-
strictiens Of good conduct and good or

Miss Proudfoot is the niece OF the
late Mrs. Mary Laidlaw. who during
her life devoted much Of her means to
the helping of boys. She established
the Eighth Ward mission. where the
youngsters were educated and trained,
and after her death Miss Proudfoot
continued the work
Each year there come from orphan
ages and asylums an army of boys to

to fourteen years of age. and they go
