MARTINELLI AS HEARD HERE.

A news dispatch from London re
ports a Milan dispatch to the effect
that it is authoritatively stated that
Giovanni Marinelli will succeed
caruso as the leadig tenor at the
Metropolitan Opera House in New
York.
In view of Martinellrs compare
lively recent appearance in this city,
the report is interesting. The singer
y remembered as inspiring in his first
nlmber-one over which he studied as
only great artists study to perfect
their interpretation of a great work
but careless and not at all himself
in many of the other works he rem
dered.
Because of the rather poor con.
dition of his voice that night, and be.
cause of his eccentricities of manner
he did not leave as good an impress
zion with New Britain music lovers
as that which he was undoubtedl,
capable of giving under more fortu
nate circumstances.
1t is for this reason that one i
apt to belittle the power Of Caruso-
II this other singer is to succeed hin
CIR to feel more keenly the loss Of 1
man between whom and Martinez
their appears to be such gulf.

RJIGARIA DISCUSSED

Williamstown, Mass, Aug. 4.-The
development of Bulgarian religion and
literature was discussed before the in

Panaretoff, recently reappointed Bull

Speaking of the relations between
Turks and Christians he admitted that
spirit of hostility now existed but
expressed the conviction that las the

Wise though his advocacy Of helping
been, the friend of the ex-serviceman
is loud in his declaration that if
the government could afford to help
these corporations. certainly it could
defended those corporations as they
defended every man, woman and child
in this country when they took up
arms, risked their lives and did their
dangerous duty in the war.
President Harding is not placing
himself in an enviable position as far
as the ex-serviceman is concerned.
Certainly it does no harm to post
pone the consideration of the Debs
case until after the peace proclama-
ton has been promulgated, and, if
personal popularity is to be considered
| by the President, he should favor no
| leniency toward the man, so promin-
| ent in his anti-givernment activities,
so denounced by the American Legion.
It is true, however, that the case
of Debs should be considered on it's
merits-or demerits-withou thought
of results to those who make or advise
the decision. But if there is any reason
| for leniency in his particular case, the
fullest publicity should be given it in
justice to the men who fought-the
men who are able to see no justice in
} pardoning him.

|CARUS0'S FUNERAL
AT FAMOUS CHURCH
King Permits Use Of Basihca Of
San Francisco di PaOla

Naples, Aug. a. (By Associated
Press)-Patrician and plebeian Naples
gathered early today at the basilica
of the church of San Francisco di
Paola in anticipation of witnessing
the funeral Of Enrico Caruso, the
world famous tenor, who died here
on Tuesday. The edifice, situated in
the southern part of the city, near
the hotel where the great singer
breathed his last, was decided upon
as the las tscene in the drama of the
tenor's life late yesterday after King
Victor Emmanuel had given permits
sion that it might be used for this
purpose.
AS soon as word reached Naples
that the basilica had been set apart
for the funeral workmen were en-
gagged to construct great platform
to accommo date the 400 singers Sc
lected to assist in the last requiem.
In the center of the basilica was
erected a large catafalque on which
the coffin would be laid.
Representatives of the king and the
royal family, the Italian government
the municipality and the prefecture
were appointed to attend the services,
and the United States, in which
country Caruso rose to his greatest
triumphs in the lyric art, had in
structed officials to appear at the
funeral.
The crowds which on Tuesday
filed before the bier of the dead
singer, were eclipsed yesterday when
thousands gathered at the Hotel
Vesuvius to pay their last respects to
Caruso. So large was the throng
that it was deemed advisable to re-
move the body from the death cham
Der to the hall Of the hotel, which
was changed for the occasion into a
chapel. About the body were placed
flowers sent by friends and admirers
of the dead man and the hall was
transformed by them into bower of
exquisite beauty.
Titta Ruffo, the Italian baritone,
who has in recent years achieved
fame in America, arrived during the
day, and fastened to the hotel. He
was an intimate friend of Caruso and
insisted upon helping to transfer the
body to the temporary chapel.
Mrs. Caruso has made formal ap-
plication to the foreign minister,
asking that the Italian ambassador at
Washington be instructed to seal the
New York residence of the late
singer, pending a decision regarding
the disposition of his estate. 1t has
been reported the court here has de-
cided to sequestrate all of Caruso' S
property until Mrs. Carusos claims in
behalf of her daughter are adiudi-
Gated.
The district judge Of this city, upon
request of Mrs. Caruso, has sealed
the apartment occupied by the dead
tenor in the Hotel Vesuvius This
step was taken to safeguard docu-
ments and other effects
It is reported here that Caruso
drew will in 1910 bequeathing his
whole esate, according to Italian legal
procedure to his brother and two
sons. In the meantime he was
married in the United States and the
birth of a daughter, Gloria, brought
a new element into the situation.
She, according to Italian law, is now
the only legal heir, except for frac-
ton of the estate which the law
grants to the widow

A BIG JOB.

The committee named by the Mayor
to investigate trolley affairs in this
city has big job on it's hands
To make such an investigation
worth while the committee will be
obliged to have for use knowledge
vestment, the debt, and other matters
peculiarly within the knowledge Of
the company itself.
Moreover it is to be taken for
granted. the purpose of the commit
tee being common knowledge, that
the Connecticut company will not deem
itself obliged to cooperate with
members of the committee. It may
do so in order to try to persuade
them that it would be impossible to
reduce the fares-if the company
deems II worth while to take the
trouble to do this.
But the difficulty of the job should
not and, it is believed, will not dis
courage the committee. When
committee was named by the Com
mon Council. to make attempt to
secure reduction of the gas rate,
the job looked pretty hard. Few
believed there was any chance of
success.
Whether or not the actions of the
Mayor and Corporation Counsel had
anything to do with the result is not
known. At any rate a short time
ago a reduction was half-promised.
It is expected that such reduction
will come in September.
So. hopeless as it seems that the
committee to investigate trolley mat
tiers here will be able to bring about
the reduction in fares which would
seem to be just, that committee
should take up the work of investi-
CATION with determination to find il
the circumstances do warrant a re-
duction. 1t should try to obtain in
formation which it could present ir
practical form, showing that certain
reductions at least might be made
to the advantage of the people and
quite possibly, to the advantage o.
the trolley company as we'll.
The impression will not down tina
the company would gain greatly il
revenue were it to charge five or SIT
cents for tie short rides in New Brit
ain proper, charging an extra four OF
five cents for the longer ride to Der
lin and other places
The trolley company insists tina
those long runs will not pay with
out the patronage, at the ten cen
rate, of the people on the short run
in New Britain proper.
It is believed by many that, if tn
company were to charge five cents TO
the short runs here and give bette
service, the revenue would be NOR
than double what it could possibl
be under the ten cent fare.
These are matters which the com
mittee will undoubtedly take up. I
may, perhaps, be able to presen
facts for the trolley company's con
alteration which may alter it's view
on the matter and, despite its cry tina
aAthe zone system has been tried an
found a failure" it may see that ther
are some possibilities in the plan
Many will be the suggestions mad
to the committee It will do it's bes
and will remember undoubtedly thu
what may seem big job is not neces
sarily hopeless job in view of pal
experience.
