:" NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Tnongh
Enrico caruso left but s1.ooo,ooo.
according to estimates of his for

to him in New York. there win be
q large income Tor his widow. their
baby. caruso's two sons, his step
mother and his uncle-the six heirs
named in his wili--for many years,
perhaps as long as, they live.
The records which caruso made
for Photographs yielded him royal
ties Of about 100000 a year and
the steel. matrices on which the
tenor's voice Is recorded are vir-
tualIy imperishable unless accident
befalls them. C. G. Child. OF the
Victor Company. for which Caruso
made all his records, said there
were about 200 Of the matrices. In
cluding between twenty and thirty
which have not yet been issued to
the public.
Can Have Ne Successor.
Antonio Scott. the barytone, life
long friend OF Caruso. said there
was no question in tho minds Of
professional artists as to who would
become the successor Of Caruso. As
Caruso succeeded no one, said
Scotti, no. one would ever succeed
him.
He was not merely a great
tenor" Scott said. He was Ca
russo. He was supreme"
There Is no reason to believe that
the income from the records will
diminish because of Caruso's death
and 1t is expected It will increase
for q few years at least
Child today told OF an incident
which he said illustrated Caruso's
method OF dealing with people
whom he trusted. In 1911. while
under contract to the Victor Com
pany. Caruso received a large offer
from another company for a few
records and asked permission to
accept the offer. The Victor Com
pany sent n representative to offel
Caruso q new contract which would
compensate him for refusing the
rival offer.
Til give yo,. $4,000 to sign q
new contract" the representative
said.

With that, Caruso pulled a slip
Of paper from his pocket and gave
1t to the phonograph man.

was signed by Caruso
When told that this would not be
legal, Caruso offered to make the
agreement binding. Five years was
finally agreed upon. Then Caruso
said: Never mind the $25.o0p.
Caruso has confidence in you"
Enrico Caruso. jr., whom Caruso
affectionately called Mimi" Is
waiting at the Caruso suite in the
Vanderbilt Hotel for some word
from Italy to guide him. He does
not know yet whether to return TO
italy or to remain here.
