the Tchataldja lines. with the object Of
dropping bombs on the Turkish troops.
His biplane disappeared rapidly, and
some hours later was seen to descend
near the Bulgarian camp. The aviator

with wound in his chest. The wings
of the biplane had also been pierced by
bullets.
The instruments showed that he had
reached a height Of nearly four thou

CHURCH DRESS TOO GAUDY
Uniform Garb for Women Is
Urged by Governor Osborn.

Chicago, Dec. S.-Governor Chase g.
Osborn Of Michigan preached a sermon
here to-day from the pulpit of his
friend, the Rev. Myron f. Adams. of
the First Baptist Church. The Gov
ernor pleaded for less ostentation on
the part of women church members.
He sugge sted a uniform church dress
that would be plain and inexpensive
and would not frighten away poor
women who now stayed away from
church because they could not compete
in dress with prosperous women.
"Tve often wished that Protestant
churches In this country would follow
the habit / have observed In Spain and
in South America among Catholic
churchgoers," he said. There It ia the
custom for women 10 dress In plain
black for church. ] wish that our
women would do so, and then the poor

CARUSO IN VAUDEVILLE
ON NORTH RIVER PIER

"Ah, mel" unused Enrico. II have not
the paper here or the pencil, or would
make a sketch of a slow boat. 1 will
walk up and down and get for myself
and Canessa big appetite"
Turning abruptly from the pier head
the tenor walked toward the bulkhead
with his brother John and few Ital-
ian friends. Midway he paused before
great pile of soiled bags and felt
them. Cargo, eh?" he muttered.
What is eet they bring here from
France?" His finger unwittingly
slipped into the ragged part Of bag
| and out fell few prunes.
Aha! The prunes. They come from
France. but l do not like them.
Dried up. wrinkled up plums. In Italy
l eat them from the trees. but they
are not old and wrinkled. Listen and
will sing like an old prune."
Brother John and his friends
laughed at the tenor's 'prune tones,
and right-about-face they marched
back to the pier head to look for La
Lorraine.
Some one next started a conversa-
ton about Titta Ruffo, the Chicago
| barytone. and Caruso, possessed Of un-
usual mirth. laughed outright and re-
peated the name of Titta Ruffo. Lis
ten. / sing for you like Ruffo,' he
| ic Hot m
next 'eemetash' Ruffo he sings like
this"--
Those who listened to Caruso knew
Titta Ruffo. The Imitation, especially
In the lower notes, was excellent and
they applauded Enrico. But he had
not finished. The applause did not stop
him. Ruffo had more mannerisms that
Caruso had mastered, and by the time
the sketch was ended he had an audi
ence Of about fifty.
"Caruso in vaudeville and cheap at
the price" remarked bystander.
This amused the tenor Yes, Caruso
in vaudeville" he echoed. When the
grand opera is over | go into vaude-
willie. That would be so fine, eh? Maybe
! get SO fora week TO get cigarettes
with. Ell? will go into vaudeville
with Titta Ruffo and the train boy that
sells candy going 10 Philadelphia. Ell?
Listen, l give you imitation OF the
train boy Some day | will write the
song. The words and the music about
what the train boy he says going to
Philadelphia. That will be my sketch

lalalala. Magazines. matches, maps.
machettes. cigarettes. cigars. candles.
popcorn, peanuts. prunes. Ha! ha'-
the prunes-postcards, newspaper and
no stops between here and Philadel-
phia."
BY this time the Lorraine had warped
into her pier and Carusos friend Ca
nessa had landed. The tenor greeted
him with embraces. and then told the
customs officials that they had better
search Canessa's pockets. as he was
chock full of coins and curics.

THREE C0FFINS OPENED
Thieves Mutilated Duchess s
Body to Get Earrings.
lBy Cable to The Tribune.

London, Dec. 9.--The monumental
Bascilica of Superga, near Turin, was
desecrated on Saturday night by 4
gang Of thieves intent on riflng the
body OF the Dowager Duchess Eliza
beth OF Genoa. grandmother of the
King of Italy, buried In August last.
The crime evidently had been carefully
planned, the miscreants having taken
the precaution to cut all telephone and
telegraphic communication with Turin
and the neighboring hamlets. while the
entrances from the basilica TO the royal
crypt were stoutly barred with iron
from the inside TO prevent any sur
prise.
The gang had obtained the informa-
tion that the Duchess Elizabeth had
been laid to rest in a niche wearing her
favorite pearl necklace and pair Of
earrings. They set to work to wrench
open one after another the three cof-
fins OF walnut. zinc and lead inclosing
the body, using acids to melt the metal.
on securing the desired booty they
got clear away, apparently without
leaving any trace OF their identity.
The sacrilege was discovered by the
sacristan after. he had opened the
royal basilica for mass. Queen Mar
gherita and the Duke OF Genoa were
Immediately telegraphed for and strict
instructions were issued from Rome to
track down the perpetrators of the out
rage at all costs.
1t Is stated that the ghouls wrenched
the earrings from the dead woman's
ears.

RED HOT ROD IN BRAIN;
BOY LIVED IS DAYS
Remarkable Instance of Youth
full Vitality AstOniSheS the
Medical Profession.
HURT PLAYING INDIANS
Sharp Steel Entered Under One
Ear and Came Out Above
Other-Child Dies
in Hospital.

A case OF youthful vitality that has
astonished the medical profession is
that OF George Krouse. boy OF thir-
teen, who died in the Lebanon Hospi-
tai last night. A red hot steel umbrella
rod was driven through the boys head
from ear to ear while playing with
some children in a vacant lot in The
Bronx thirteen days ago. That life was
sustained so long as it was is consid-
cred exceptional by surgeons interested
I'm the case.
Little George, who lived with his
parents at No. $50 Wales avenue, The
Bronx. was with other children near
the Southern Boulevard on the after
noon OF November %. They had built
a bonfire and were playing Indians,
dancing around the fire and waving
lighted torches. One OF the boys found
a steel umbrella rod. He returned to
the fire and held the piece of metal in
the flames until it became glowing
crimson with the heat
What happened afterward is still
TO the police, although they
have worked continuously on the case.
The parents of the dead child know
only that they were informed that their
son had been badly hurt, and persons
who ran to the vacant lot following the
excited alarm given by some children
found the boy lying near the fire, with
the steel rod, still hot and smoking,
driven completely through a section Of
the brain.
A hurry ambulance call brought sur
geons from Lebanon Hospital. and the
Krouse child was rushed there and put
upon an operating table. The rod had
entered the head little under the left
ear and had come out above the right
ear. 1t was removed and the broken
bones at the base Of the skull were ad-
tusted. Then the fight for the boys
life began.
For the last thirteen days the young
ster has lain IN a cot at the hospital
undergoing every operation known to
medical and surgical science for the
OF life. Surgeons whc
heard OF the case visited the hospital
and several clinics. in which some OF
the most prominent practitioners In
the city assisted, resulted. At times
the child seemed to be half conscious
of his surroundings, but for the most
part he lay in a stupor For the last
few days, however. the hospital Off
cials had given up hope OF his recov-
cry. and when death came last even

DR.. Calman. OF Lebanon Hospital,
who, with DR.. Curtin, had charge OF
the case, said last night that he knew
of no parallel instance in which life had
been prolonged for more than twenty
four hours. In addition to the terrible
injury to the child's brain. owing to
the pressure of broken bones upon 1t,
i had been completely pierced and
burned by the heated steel.

ALBANY, n. Y, March 27-Gov-
ernor Dix has no power to order an
ther primary election in New York.
The question is one with which the
legislature and the courts must deal.
This is the substance of an opinion
gieVn to Governor Dix tonight by At
torney General Carmody.
VIM. Barnes, Jr., chairman of TIM
republican state committee, in u
statement tonight contends there is
no legal standing to the suggestion of
another primary.
The opinion of the attorney general
was given after the governor had re.
ceived q telegram from Charles II.
DUEL. of New York. chairman of the
Roosevelt committee, protesting
against the conditions at the prlma-
ries yesterday and suggesting another
primary should be held ito abate the
public sense of outrage and to solve
an intolerable situation"
After a conference with Mr.. Car
mody, Senator Stillwell announced n
bill today to give the courts the power
TO order a new primary. Objections
to the Advancement of the measure
practically precludes any action being
taken on the bill at this session of the
Legislature.
Mr.. Barnes statement saws the
failure of the printer to provide the
official ballot was most unfortunate,
but the election law governs distinct
ly such failure by providing for the
use of unofficial ballots.
