Boanard and his wife, Rose, there
were their nine -year-old daughter,
Ethel, and her chum Helen Craig,

The apartment was so filled with
smoke they could not find- their way

thick cloud shouting 'Fire!" when
detective O'Leary of the East 51st
Street Station and Lieut.. McKeon OF
Truck No. ., who had come in re-

citizen who had seen smoke coming
from the windows, discovered their
plight.
The detective and fireman had to

wooden door leading into the hall

child guest were released.

Boanard apartment reached the
street safely in their night clothes
except Charles A. Conway, an adver-

He awoke so late he could not

CARUSO RELIEVED
BY new OPERATION;
DOCTORS HOPEFUL
Cannot Tell When Tenor viii
Be Able to Sing Again,
Declares Surgeon.
PROGRESS is REPORTED.
Physicians Declare Singer Is
Doing "aS Favorably
as Possible"

DR.. John F. Erdmann, the surgeon
who operated last night on Enrico
Caruso, to-day gave to The Evening
World the following statement:
Last night took from Mr.. Caruso
fifty two ounces of pus, a little less
than half a gallon. After that put
two drain pipes in him to give con-
tinued relief. The most important
aspect Of the case now is the medical
one. l have not seen him since last
night, but shall call on him again to-
night. l cannot say as to when he
will be able to sing again. None Of
us can tell"
WAS the amount of pus unusually
larger" DR.. Epdmann was asked
Yes" he said.
The following bulletin was given
out az noon by the six physicians and
surgeons in attendance on the singer:
''Mr. Caruso had a very COM
Portable night and is progressing
as favorably as possible after his
operation of last night"
Bruno Zirato. secretary to Caruso,
said the singer had been very great
ly relieved" by the second operation
he had undergone in forty eight hours
This operation was to establish a
drainage from the pleural cavity, the
drainage to be maintained until the
condition of empyema Is terminated.
In the case Of CaTusO, IL was said,
the operation varied slightly from
the usual procedure. which is to re-
move a small portion OF a rib and
insert tubes for the draining. In
Caruso's case, instead OF cutting a
rib, the drainage tube was placed be-
tween two ribs.
The very great relief'sreported by
the singers secretary was the result
Of the elimination of a large quantity
OF purulent matter. This almost in
stantly makes the patient more com
Portable, but It Is said that he will
have to lie on his back for many days
while the drainage continues, and thc
convalescent period afterward is us
ually long. It is regarded as practi-
cally certain that Caruso will not sing
again this season.
DIR. Erdmann, Caruso's sixth physi-
clan, was called into the case yester-
day afternoon and the operation i'm
mediately performed 1t was done
without an anaesthetic. A few hours
later the following bulletin was is
sued:
"Mr Caruso has been successfully
operated on by DR. Erdmann for EN-
pyema. His condition Is satisfac-
tory"
The bulletin bore the signatures Of
Drs. Erdmann, Samuel Lambert, An
tonic Stella Evan NJ. Evans. Francis
J. Murray and Philip Horowitz.
