PERIToNITIs CAUsEE
 DEATH OF CARUSO

Naples, Aug. 1 (by the A. P.)-Enrico Caruso, world famous tenor, died here today at 10 a. m.
 The condition of the singer, which had been considered satisfactory until re- ceutly, became critical yesterday, peri tonitis developing and an operation be-. ing considered necessary. From the be- ginning of his relapse. however, there was a serious concern over the outcome and last night his life was despaired of During the night the condition of the patient grew worse steadily, and the ca reer of the great artist came t0 an end with his death at an early hour this morning.
 Caruso. was said to be extremely weak yesterday afternoon, the weakness of his heart necessitating injection of cam phor every two hours.
 The operation was for an abscess be- tween the liver and the diaphragm. which caused acute peritonitis. Caru- sos wife and his brother were at his bedside
 The tenor until week ago, was on the way to recovery from the long ill., ness which began in New York last winter in the operatic season, but he had a sharp relapse, and was removed from Sorrento to Naples. He arrived at Naples Sunday night and the special ists who were called in decided to oper- ate immediately

TILT IN THE HOUSE
 OVER LEAVE OF ABSENCE

Washington, Aug. 2.-A request from Representative Fitzgerald, republican, Ohio, for a months leave of absence from the house because he had been "ordered" as a reserve officer to military duty at Camp Knox. Ky, precipitated a lively tilt in the house today, Represen- tative Lanham, Texas, objecting to granting the request while Representa- tive Garrett, acting democratic leader, hel .dthat "a serious question" had been raised and requested that action be de- ferred.
 T would like to know what power can order a member of congress away from his duty in peace time Mir Lan- ham said
 Representative Greene, republican. Vermont, a member of the house mili- tary committee, said the request had been worded 'crudely" and explained mo reserve officer in time of peace can be ordered to camp except at his own request"
 With half a dozen members clamor- ing for recognition. Representative Mondell. republican leader. ended the argument by moving adjournment
 Requests of house members for leaves of absence ordinarily are granted with out discussion.

NATIONAL MEMORIAL
 FOR ENRICo CARUso
(oontinued from Page one)

left vacant a place in opera that no liv- ing tenor can fill. For Caruso was king of the opera house, his dominance above all the other artists being universally recognized.
 Giulio Gatti+CazzaIl. general map- ager of the MetropoItan Opera Com pany. who selects the artists and the operas in whicl they are to be heard, is in Europe. So is Otto H. Kahn, chair man of the board of directors and Hen ry Rogers Winthrop, vice president. Many other men who have voice in the conduct of the Metropolitan also were out of the city,
 Caruso's earnings, like his fame sur passed those of other singers. His an nual income ranged around half mil lion dollars, it was said today at the Metropolitan Opera House.
 Plans for the establishment of a na- tional Caruso memorial were bgeun few hours after the news of bis death was re- ceived by the Order of The Sons of taIy embracing about 5000 Italian-Ameri- cans
 Dr. Stefano Miele, national master of the organization, called a meeting of the supreme council for tomorrow to consider the form of the memorial. It is probable, Dr. Miele said, that aCaruso foundation for training young opera singers, or a Caruso theatre. to present Italian opera, will be established. Proceeds from the proposed theatre will be used to aid young singers. Leading patrons of art will be asked to join the movement 'Enrico Caruso," said Dr. Miele, "did more for the Italian race in this country than any single individual and the loss will strike deep to the hearts of all Ital- 1 ians and Americans of Italian birth or descent as welell as all lovers of the purest of arts, no matter what their na- tionalities."
 Referring to the plans for founda- tion. Dr. Miele said:
 | "In that way it may be possible to rear another Caruso who will delight the hearts of future generations as Caruso's golden voice and art have delighted the heartsof the present genration.' l A cablegram was sent to Mrs. Caruso al Naples expressing sympathy and inform 1 ing her of the intention of the order tc found the memorial

FIRE HALrs TRANSACTIONS
 ON. \. Y. STOCK EXCHANGE

New York, Aug. 2.-The opening of the New York Stock Exchange was post poned three hours today because of fire in the north wall annunciator board on the exchange floor. The small ex- change also closed until the big ex- change was unaffected. The fire started in an addition to the exchange under construction next door
 Clouds of smoke swept into the main exchange Firemen fought nearly two hours to keen tho fire out of the build ing, but despite their efforts the big in- dicator board which announces quota tions was destroyed.
 While the firemen were still at work J. Pierpont Morgan arrived at his offices, just across the street. and watched the spectacle. Like other prominent Wall street men he was forced to leave his automobile block from the scene and walk past the fire to his office. The Nor gan building was under a heavy guard of oplice.
 ! With the exception of the annunciator board the exchange suffered little dam age except from smoke, although water poured over the floor. The total dam age was estimated by fire officials at $25,ooe
 1 While hremen battled with the flames, scores of riveters remained aloft on the | great SLeeA SheleIOn or the annex CdlI0ly continuing their work until smoke drove them down. Then they aided firemen to scale the steel girders and pour water on | the fire.
 There was loud cheer from members when trading was resumed, and trading was unusually brisk because of the large accumulation of orders. Bremen re- mained about the building with lines oi hose, lest the blaze break out afresh.
 Officials recalled tonight that this wal the first time in the exchanges history that fire had interfered with business Ten months ago a slight fire was diseov cred in the building, but it was soon ex tinguished.
 The exchange was last unexpectedly closed on the afternoon of Sept. IS, 1920 when the Wall street explosion occurred within a few yards of today's fire. II December, 1919, opening of the marke was postponed half an hour because of severe snowstorm.
 Prior to two months suspension o trading in the war summer of 1914. reg ular business of the exchange had no been interrupted since May, 1901, when after a local panic. a day was needed t check up accounts.
 The blizzard of March, 1888. necessi tated suspension of trading for a day am half. Prior to that time the exchang never had been closed except for tel days in 1873, when a number of failure occurred

WATCH THE EGG BASKET.

The egg basket will tell you if it is time to cull the stacker. When the egg production falls below 50 per cent. during June something should be done. But perhaps it is the stacker man and not the stacker hen after all, says Roy E. Jones, poultry specialist for the Ex- tension Service of Connecticut Agricul- tural college at Storrs.
 There should have been a slight de- cline in June and not decided drop. The decline should continue through July and August with little opportunity for culing before the latter month.
 During the winter the hens were eat ing more grain than mash but with warm weather and heavy production mash con suption is increasing" says MT. Jones. By July 1 the hens should have been eating about two pounds of mash for every pound of grain and that propor- tion should continue until the end of the laying year. The mash consumption can be increased by decreasing the grain.
 This practice can be safely followed only as long as the total amount of food is not reduced. It may be necessary to change the mash mixture or feed some wet mash in order to get sufficient amount eaten. If the hens are on range or out in a yard it is advisable to place
 dry mash hopper and water dish where they stay most of the time. Fresh water is just as important as mash in hot weather.
 Green food is necessary even though the hens are on range. The grass gets dry and hard during hot weather and if supplemented by some succulent green crop such as Dwarf Essex Rape or Swiss chard it will help egg production.
 "Broody hens cost a lot in egg pro duction if not broken up promptly. Con fine them in small run on green grass with plenty of dry mash and water. Lib eral dry mash feeding brings taem bacl into laying much quicker than if fed or grain while confined.

GOOD PEACH CROP IS
 EXPECTED IN THIS STATE


 While the peach crop for the coun- try as a whole will not be over two- thirds that of last year. Connecticut will have several times her last years crop. Generally speaking, the peach orchards of the state, which are most favorably located arc carrying a good crop, al- though occa asionally orchards occupying the low spots seem 10 have beeTs hit haru by the frosts of April and May. and the fruit has failed to stick.
 Present prospects would indicate that there will be four or five times as many peaches produced in the state this year as there were last year. This means that Connecticut will have from 75 to 80 per cent. of a full crop.
 The apple crop in Connecticut does not look as bright While the crop for the country as a whole may be two thirds that of last year. the crop within the state will most certainly be less than cnc-half that of one year ago. Some of our largest orChardists in the state are reporting as low as 1o per cent. of a crop, while an occasional fortunate grow er has fair set of fruit In the writ CTS opinion 3 fair average of the states crop would be onc-thrd of a normal one
 Growers in Connecticut who have good set of fruit should consider them selves fortunate and should leave noth- ing undonc from now until harvest time which Will help to assure them of a crop of high quality fruit Peaches should he sprayed carefully 10 prevent ? possible loss of the crop from brown rot and fall and winter apples should he sprayed again the latter part of July to prevent injury from the second brood of codling moth. late infestat.on of scab fruit spot, sootv b,otch etc. If you arc in doubt about when to spray or what materials 10 use, communicate with vour county agent or write the Extension Service of the Connecticut Agricultura College Storrs Conn.

EAT MORE LETTUCE.

Great quantities of lettuce have gone 10 waste in Connecticut this summer be- .ause the production exceeded the de- mand. The cool weather, early in the season, has been less favorable to let tuce and not only was the yield large but the quantity according to A. E. Will1in- son. specialist in vegetable gardening, has been unusually good
 Few persons eat enough lettuce, spin ach, and similar foods. If every house wife in Connecticut understood the food qualities of lettuce, for instance, there would be no occasion for part of the crop going to waste simply because the price Is too low to warrant marketing.
