OPERATION ON CARUSO
 TO RESTORE HIS VOICE

Milan, May 27.-Enrico Caruso has entered the private hospital of the throat specialist, Prof. Della Bedova, in Milan, where he will undergo a sur gical operation.
 There are hopes of restoring the voice of the illustrious tenor, who was similarly operated upon some years ago. English specialists whom he re- gently consulted expect good results to follow the treatment, and that he will be able to fulfill his American contract next Winter.
 Many in the musical world here, however, think the great singer will require a prolonged rest.

then, on his way out, killing two more that he found lighting. Their meat was unfit to use and was left to rot in the woods. Then he preached to us on the virtue of game protection
 And when he comes back from this trip you will hear his righteous disser- game in Africa-of course after he has
 killed everything he could find" Asked if anything was to be learned or if science was to be served in any
 velt's African expedition, pr. Long said:
 "A lot might be learned, but not by such scientific instruments as high power rifles. MT. Roosevelt reminds me of an alleged ornithologist whom I met killing warblers the other day. He thought he was studying birds. The only thing we will get out Of the much heralded trip will be some more hunting yarns. almost as veracious as MT. Rooseve1t's account of his heroic exploit at San Juan Hill, and some more skins and bones, of which we already have too many. The only one who will ever learn or teach anything of value is the man who studies the living animal, not the man who gloats over a dead one.
 "The worst feature in the whole bloody business is not the killing of a few hundred wild animals in Africa, but the brutalizing influence which these reports have upon thousands of American boys. Only last week met half a dozen little fellows in the woods. The biggest boy had a gun and a squirrels tail in his hat, and he called himself Bwana Tumbo. They were shooting everything in sight, killing birds at a time when every dead moth CT meant a nestfu1 of young birds slowly starving to death
 ttHow could I convince them that their work was inhuman? Is not the great American hero occupied at this time with the same detestable busi- ness? And why should not they also be heroic and make a few fine shots, and content themselves with robins and rabbits since maunal naturalists and other game butchers have killed off all our buffaloes?"

Stamford, May 27-Dr William J. Long. the former minister and nature bitterly. attacked by Theodore Roose- Welt when he was President, has con- scented to be interviewed with regard to MT. Roosevelts African hunting trip. Dr. Long said he had intended to. wait until MT. Roosevelt's return. or until something from his pen act ually appeared before saying word in criticism, but he had decided that some of the things the ex-President is said to have done in Africa are such as to call forth immediate protest.
 Dr.. Long declares that the worst feature of the whole bloody business is the brutalizing Influence which the reports from Africa have on thousands of American boys.
 ss.As there are TO reporters with MT. Roosevelt" said he. s'these reports of frequent killings must come chiefly from himself, and are such as he him. self choose to send out If they are true, they are exactly in line with his previous record. They prove what I said two years ago, quoting from his own books, that he is a game butcher pure and simple. and that his interest in animals lies chiefly in the direction of blood and brutality.
 s43ssYou remember that when he made terms with the Smithsonian Institution his published letter said: Of course l am not a game butcher but he imme- diately reserved for himself the right to do all the killing on the expedition. This is characteristic of his alleged scientific attitude. Matthew Arnold declared that Conduct is three-fourths of life, and MT. Roosevelt adds that sbutchery is three-fourths of science
 s1n one dispatch I notice that when he could not find buffaloes he had to content himself by shooting wart hogs and other inoffensive creatures. As the buffaloes are fast disappearing from Africa, and as Mir. Roosevelt had already killed several, why in the name of science should he go out to kill more2 And why, failing to find buff faloes. should he slaughter other crea- tures? The whole thing is atrocious. It is exactly like his own record of killing eleven bull elk on one trip and

my misfortune in getting injured

fall was in 20:22. l don't believe he

and that the injury deprived the right
arm of Its full use.
10 r. Jaques then appraised the
audience of Turner's injury and that
IL would be impossible for him to con-
tinue with the match. Zbyszko then
announced that he did not want to
take an unfair advantage Of any man,
and would meet Turner in another
match for the side bet of $500.
The preliminaries and the main go
were run in splendid order. Referee
Sweeney officiated in each bout, and
his work was of the high standard that
he established with his first appear
ance in the capacity of referee. Joe
Celania was timekeeper.
The success of the match is due in n
large measure to Promoter Robert j.
Shanahan, who has worked untiring-
ly to provide good show for the
lovers of the wrestling game. Next
to Turner himself no one regrets the
misfortune suffered with Turner's in
jury than Promoter Shanahan.

In the curtain raisers, Jake Mier

He secured the first fall in 19:28M
with a leg lock and half nelson, and
the second in 1:05 with the same
hold.
Willie Waters agreed to throw
Hessel Fleener twice in thirty minutes
and he succeeded. A scissors and half
nelson after three minutes of labor
won the first fall, and the final down
was accomplished in :05 with ham
