GREATEST TENOR OF
MODERN TIMES

Music critics thruoui the world
have generally credited Caruso with
being the greatest operatie tenor
OF modern times.
Nett 10 his singing. Caruso's
greatest talent is his skill as a carl.
caturist
Endowed with an unusually ro-
bust constitution, Caruso always
took the greatest care OF his phys
lcal well being. His one bad habit,
from the standpoint OF a singer. Is
his weakness for cigarets. but ap-
parentiy indulgence in them never
affected his voice.
caruso was born in Naples on
February Is. 1873. At the age Of
IL he was choir boy in the
churches OF that city. After three
years Of study he made his operatic
debut and then sang four years
with the famous Scala company.
He won instantaneous success on
his first American appearance at

&. OF G. SIPPORT

Attorney Frank HaiverSfadt. who
declared he attended the hearing
nt the Instance of the japanese re.
Iations committee OF the Seattle
Chamber Of Commerce. asserted
that the bill was contrary 10 the
constitution OF the state and 20
the power OF congress to make
treaties with foreign governments.
The legislature cannot pass laws
which may be covered by future
treaties made by the federal gov.
ernment." he said.
Representative Thomas y. Muir.
phinc pointed out that until con.
Rress acts. there Is nothing to pre-.
vent the states from making laws
governing lands within their own
tcrritory.
Another argument advanced by
Halvcrstadt was TO the effect that
the state constitution places no limit
on tho holding OF land by aliens
acquired thru inheritance or thru
foreclosure OF mortgage. Since
no limitation Is placed. he argued.
the legislature Is without power TO
add limitations.
