WORLD FAMOUS TENOR
SUCCUMBS TO PLEURISY
MALES Italy, Aug 2-Enrico
Caruso, world famous tenor died
here today.

Caruso's illness first began dur
ing last Christmas week when he
suffered an attack of pleurisy. His
condition becoming worse the
singer few days later underwe mt
an operation to relieve him of an
accumulation of pus in the pleural
cavity. 1t was deemed advisable to
operate again for a secondary
abscess. After these operations
Caruso continued in a serious con-
dition for more than a week and
was lowering between life and
death. Word of the first illness
of Caruso at the time he was
stricken with pleurisy came as d
shock to his many friends in this
country an dabroad.
The last word received here
from Names was t.lat Enrico Ca
russo was improving and that his
voice would not be permanently
impaired by his illness. When the
tenor sailed from New York for
Italy on May 28th he appeared
still to be very i'll and weak al
though his physicians insisted he
was on the road to recovery and
woud soon o. regain his health
abroad. When Caruso elft for Italy
he appeared confident that he
would return to America next fall
and again take his place with the
Metz opolitan Opera Company.
Early this month word came from
Italy that Caruso was not recover
ing as rapidly as had been expect
ed. Reports reaching Rome at
this time stated that Caruso would
be able to sine in New York by
next winter though friends reluct-
antly admitted at will never be
quite the same again."

TRIOOF BANDITS
PLEAD GUILTY TO
LIQUOR CHARGE
Men Arraigned In Munich
pal Court. Sentence
Delayed

A plea OF guilty was entered n
Caledonia County Municipal court
today bv three desperate bandits,
engaged in rum running opera
tions, who were captured late Sat
rrday after a thrilling cnase over
hills and along unfrequented high
ways when they were arraigned
before Judge Harry Blodgett on
charge of illegally transporting
Intoxicating liquors through the
state. Charges were preferred
against the trio by States Attor-
ney James B. Campbell. Sentence
was delayed temporarily.
The three men who appeared in
court were George Savage, aged
"a, 80 Mulberry street, Joseph
Bourget aged 20, and Stephen
Benkosky, aged 20, of Whitman
street all of Pawtucket, r. l. Say
age who admitted he was the
owner and driver Of the car, and
Bourget are veterans of the World
War. The former served IA
months in the Coast Artillery be-
ing stationed at Narragansett Bay,
and at Newport, r. |. Bourget Is
former Y. ID. man and was at
tached to Company A 103rd Ma
chine Gun Battalion. He parti-
.capated in practically all of the
major engagements in which the
American forces figured. He
fought in the battles of Chemin
Des Danes, Seichprey, Chateau
Thierry Belleau Wood, St. Mihiel
and the Meuse-Argonne. His army
record is a good one.
David Z. Porter has been en-
gagged as attorney for Benkosky,
whose parents came to ST. Johns
bury today from Pawtucket to aid
their son in his trouble. Savage
and Bourget are without counsel.
Savage was the first of the three
men to be arraigned. After plead
ing guilty to the charge preferred
against him he was sharply quizzed
by States Attorney Campbell re-
garding the details of the trip,
which turned out to be regular
tWild West" adventure.
4 Savage declared he had ur-
chased the Packard automobile
from Walter .Buins4in Providence,
in April of this year paying $165O
for the car on part payment
plan. The value Of the car has
been materially lessened ty the
rough usage given it IN the recent
smuggling journe'- The men took
an awful chance by starting with
broken front spring.
When the car was found aban-
doned by the officers t was found
that two of the front lights were
smashed, the running board dam
aged and the bumper off.
Savage declared he was never in
Vermont before. He stated he and
the other two stopped off at St.
Johnsbury to replenish their gaso-
lene and oil supply. He insisted
that he was not very well acquaint-
ed with his companions and that
he knew them only as "Pete
Sleeve" 1t was for the express
purpose of getting a load Of booze
that the men came un this way, no
admitted. In answer to a question
Savage asserted that "Steve and
Pete" made the arrangements for
the Journey and that he was hired
to drive them His remuneration
was to be one third of the liquor,
which, he declared. he figured
would amount to $500. The ex-
penses of the trip were taken care
of by Benkosky, and came to APP
proximately 500.
Savage appeared in court with his

German Pr0pagGndists
Make Big Ado Over Vast
Sum Demanded by Allies

BERLIN, March 22.-Official German
prOpagandists are laboring to bring
home to the average German citizen the
real vastneSs Of the sum of indemnity de-
manded by the sllies-226. 900, 100000 gold
marks. The people at large have not
shown any undue excitement over the ex-
tent of the allies demands, so the Ger
man officials decided upon a campaign
to picture to them how much 226 600 ,000,-
900 gold marks ($56,500 0OO,OOO) means in
reality
The Deutsche AHgemeine Zeitung
printed a picture Of nineteen railroad
trains each made up Of cars filled with
coal and each train stretching from
earth to moon. Under the picture was the
following reading matter:
"a ton of coal is worth 20 gold marks.
This means that If we were to deliver
226, 900, 100000 gold marks worth of coal
we would have to mine more than H.
300 100000 tons of coal, which, at the
1920 production rate In Germany, would
require eighty seven years. This amount
of coal would require 7J0,OO0.000 railway
cars, or, in other words, train so long
that it could be broken up into nineteen
trains, each one long enough to reach
from this planet to the moon"
The Hamburger Neuste Nachriehten
declares that if 226. 100000, 600 gold marks
we're reduced to the value of the present
paper mark, 1t would equal 2,468,0 ,000,- :
600 600 paper marks. This same paper

Bernauer is said to have denied thA
statement Of Jones and also the accu-
sation that he had made threats against
the other men If they told on him. Ber
nauer is said to have refused to make
any comment on the statement made by
Mrs Iva Jones, which was also read
to the jury.
Captain Manning of the indianapolis
detective bureau was on the stand
throughout the morning as the third wit
ness for the State Eaids was killed the
night of Oct %, 1920.
Statements said to have been nsda nv
companions Of Bernauer. following their
arrests and confinement In prison at
indianapolis on Federal charges of ve-
hicIe taking, were introduced and veri-
ned by Captain Manning. Objections Of
attorneys for the defense against the
statements being admitted were over
ruled by the court.
Manning stated he had talked with
Bernauer on Nov. or 6, and at the time
the defendant told him he had heard
about the murder of Eaids, but that he
was at the Broadway Hotel at the time.
where he was registered under the name
Of Charles West. On that occasion.
Manning said Bernauer admitted hav.
ing a 40 caliber revolver. On Jan. %,
1921, Manning stated, he had another talk
with Bernauer, at which time Detective
Raymonds and Charles Bernauer, father
of the defendant, were present On that
occasion Manning said Carl detailed his
actions on the night Of the murder, but
denied that he was at the scene of ths
shooting or near it. Later in the day
Manning said he and Detective Reynolds
called at the jail and again talked with
Bernauer and advised him to tell every

Thrift Wave
SWeeps y. S.,
Says Banker
Head of Morris Plan Sees Re-
adjustment Through Saving
Habit Among Farmers.

NEW YORK, March 22-Americans are
saving more money than ever before.
This spirit of thrift which is the most
important factor in complete restoration
of industrial stability is being developed
with increasing rapidity.
These statements were made by Arthur
J. Morris, head Of the Morris plan sys-
tenn Of industrial banking, in an interview
today.
The seemingly impossible feats ac-
cOmpHshed by the United States during
the war were largely the result of self
denial by our people," Morris said
"They are beginning to learn that they
must apply the same principle to the
present period of reconstruction. The
country will get back to normal in just
the ratio that every one employs the
common sense and character he showed
during the war.
During the recent era of labor short
age and high wages many persons
literally threw their money away. They
suffered for it. Now even those who earn
less than they did are saving money.
THE workers will come to the realiza-
tion that they must accept wage reduc-
tions. There can be no real decrease in
the cost Of living until this is done, for
wages are the chief element In the cost
of production. When wages are back to
their proper level, and freight rates are
reduced, we will find that the solid pros
perity we are looking for viii follow"
Morris might be regarded a one of the
best authorities on the financial status
of American wage earners. Ten years
ago he established the Morris plan,
whereby persons in moderate circum-
stances could obtain credit up to $4,000
with their character and earning ability
as sole security.
