Naples.-The most impressive fu-
neral services Naples has known in
modern times occurred, when the
late Enrlco Caruso was buried amidst
the lamentations of the grief-stricken
populace.
Seldom in the history of the city
has the death of man in private life
so affected the impressionable Neapo-
litans, and from the time the great
tenor's death was announced until his
body was placed in it's temporary
vault business virtually was at a
standstill.
Enrico Caruso, for more than rs
years celebrity in the world of song,
the tenor with "the golden voice"
was born In Naples, Feb. rs, 1878, the
son of Marcellius Caruso, mechanic.
He died last week in the land of his
birth, following a series of operations.

WORLD FARLEY TO START N0V.11
U. s. Formally Suggests Date For
Meeting At Washington.

Washington. President Harding
has made formal suggestion to the
powers invited to participate that the
Washington conference on reduction
of ornaments and pacific far eastern
questions begin on Armistice day,
November IL.
State officials said last week they
believed the time could be considered
as fixed, tentatively at least.
AS soon as the formal invitations
are sent out and the formal replies
received then will begin the official
conversations between the participant
ing powers-Great Britain, France,
Italy, Japan, China and the United
States-over the scope of the confer
ence under the agenda.
The United States still hopes the
nation, will take the initiative in
negotiations, and each of the nations
will be asked to offer suggestions as
to general subjects to be taken up.
The United States still hopes the
zap question may be adjusted before
the conference is held, but It is un-
derstood this government would be
unwilling to enter into an agreement
that II should be written on the list
OF the subjects barred from discus
sion at that time.

SIXTEEN INDICTED
IN PROBE PRISON
GRAND JURY INVESTIGATING
MARQUETTE BLAMEs STATE
AUDITOR GENERAL.
SAYS SYSTEM WAS TOO LAX
Former 5ookkeeper Charged With
Mis-Appropriatins $s,11s-contrae.
tors and Agents Others Indicted.

Marquette, Mich.-Sixteen indict.
ments, involving present and former
officials Of the Marquette prison and
others have been returned by the
grand jury that has been investigat-
ing affairs OF the institutions for the
past four weeks.
The jury finding states that A. s.
West, former bookkeeper misappro-
priated $S,119 of prison funds. Con-
tractors and sales agents are the 9TH
ers indicted.
Gross ineficiency on the part of
the auditor general was held by H.
A. Higgins, of Chicago, who directed
the audit of prison books, to be re-
sponsible for Vests defalcations and
the condition of institutional affairs.
Politics are scored by the auditor in
his report, under the heading of gen.
eral remarks.
The jury finally is said to have en-
tirely disregarded the Higgins report
on the prison accounting, and To have
based its indictment only on those
items indicated in Vests confession
against which the statute of limita-
tons did not apply. On first presenta-
tion, the Higgins report indicated a
defalcation charged to West of $57 900.
Early in the inquiry an error of &c.,
900 in the accounting was acknowl-
edged. Later scrutiny led the jurors
to question approximately $4,000 Of
the remaining apparent shortage.
1t is said that it appeared that the
money in the book shortage had gone
into other financial undertakings OF
the prison proper.
According to report of the grand
jury, the indictment against West, the
former prison bookkeeper, is based on
his confession prior to his arrest a
few months ago.
