CarusO's Voice Is
Heard Everywhere
On Night He Dies

In apartment houses and private
dwellings last night search was made
through the cabinets for Caruso rec
ords and the golden-voiced tenor was
heard way into the wee sma' hours.
Many having often heard the ex-
preston Of famous singers voices be-
ing preserved to posterity long after
their death were curious to experience
the sensation and put on their Caruso
record with a not uncanny feeling.
But the virile tones and exquisite
song flights on which the records took
the audiences made them forget the
uncanny feeling, and many could
hardly believe the famous tenor dead
as his tones pealed out and flooded
the room.
Dealers report unprecedented fe-
mands for Caruso records. They pre-
dict that within a year the price will
go up as in the case Of the famous
Italian tenor, Tamheno. He died ten
years ago, and now his records are
selling for So. Caruso's average rec
ords cost s1.75.
I'VE do not expect an immediate
rise in price," said one dealer, but
within a year you may look for an in
crease"

Mrs. CarusO and Father
Still at Odds Despite
Death of Great Tenor

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.--Mrs. En-
rico Caruso's sorrow in the loss of
her husband will not be softened by
comforting word from her father g
household.
At the home of Park Benjamin, 80
West Seventy-third street, 1t was
said yesterday that he was in Chi
cago. At his office. 1855 Broadway,
announcement was made that no
comment was to be expected from
Benjamin on the death Of his SON
in-lsw.
When Miss Dorothy Park Benja-
min was welded to Caruso her father
made no pretense of concealing his
displeasure. The breach between
father and daughter has grown deep
or with time and silence.
Park Benjamin, jr., a warm friend
Of the tenor. said that he felt a
deep personal loss, and wished he
were near enough to offer what
solace he could to his sister. He
added:
Sorrow does often heal old fam
lily sores. But ! think the chances
are very, very slight that this loss
will bring my sister and my father
any closer together"
Mrs. Frederick w. Goddard, sister
of Mrs. Caruso, said that all Of the
latter's recent letters had been full
Of hope and happiness. She added:
They seemed to be living so tran

CarusO's COuntrymen
In U. S. Arrange Plans
For Gigantic Memorial

NEW YORK. Aug. 3.-Plans for the
establishment Of a national Caruso
memorial were begun a few hours
after the news of the death OF the
noted tenor by the Order OF the Sons
OF Italy. embracing about $4,000
Italian.Americans.
DR.. Stefano Miele, national master
of the organization, called a meeting
of the supreme council for today TO
consider the form OF the memorial.
II is probable, DR.. Miele saidS that a
Caruso foundation for training young
opera singers, or a Caruso theater, for
the purpose of presenting Italian op.
eras, would be established. Proceeds
from the theater would be used to aid
young singers. Leading patrons OF
art will be asked to join the move
ment.
"En.ico Caruso," said DR.. Miele.
did more for the Italian race in this
country than any single individual
and the loss will strike deep into the
hearts of all Italians and Americans
Of Italian birth or descendants, as
well as all lovers Of the purest of arts,
no matter what their nationalities."
Referring to the plans for foun-
dalton, DR.. Miele said: "In that way
1t 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
hearts of the present generation"
A cablegram was sent to Mrs. Ca
russo at Naples expressing sympathy
and informing her of the intention of
the order to found the memorial.

Unforeseen Ailnent
Causes Death
of Caruso.

NEW YORK, Aug. S.--Caruso's
death was not due to the ailment
from which he suffered last win
ter. Before the famous tenor left
for Italy he had been pronounced
cured, according to Antonio Stsll,
the singers private physician.
Said DR.. Stell:
"The illness which caused
Caruso's death was not the kind
from which the tenor suffered be-
fore sailing for Europe. The i'll
ness which caused his death, ac-
cording to the news dispatches,
developed through a sub-phrenic
abscess, which brought on portion
tits. He had not been suffering
with this before sailing. A week
before he went to Italy a consulta-
ton was held and it was decided
that he had fully recovered from
his original sickness, as no compll-
cations had set in"
