% late president Roosevelt to
Naples, has any person re-
ceived welcome such as
that accorded to Caruso. The news of
his coming arrival had been wirelessed
from Gibraltar and committee Of
prominent Neapolitans WAS formed to
greet him when the ship, the Presi-
dente Wilson, came into port.
Caruso was playing with his little
daughter when the committee well
coined him back to Naples. Though
the journey had improved his health,
the early rising and the bother Of
landing had tired him trife. In
spirits and courage he is the same
Caruso who before the war passed
his summers in Italy and it is his
determination to sing soon again that
the doctors say is his best asset. At
present he feels sure that he can keep
his contract with the Metropolia n
Opera House committee, as his throat
is gradually growing strong and we'll.
Crowds Follow Him
In Streets to Hotel
On leaving the dock, after the usual
conventionalties with the authorities,
Caruso, with his wife and daughter
and grown son, whose mother was
SIgnora Giachetti, the soprano, drove
to the hotel, followed by all his ad-
mirers running behind the carriage
and crying "Vivo Caruso," While he
and his family, with the staff of SER
wants, entered the hotel, the crowd
formed circle and were thanked by
Caruso from the hotel entrance for
their kindness and welcome. For
man anxious to live simple and quiet
life the continual presence of an ad
mlring crowd has its drawbacks.
Neither he nor his family can now
bulge an inch without following Of
many people.
1t is for this reason that the villa
which Caruso has taken at Sorrento
IS on the beaten track, and overlooks
the wonderful bay. 1t belonged for
many years to F. Marion Crawford the
novelist, and can be reached onlv bv
q small narrow road from the town
During his two months stay at Sor-
rent0 Caruso will take a sun cure
which consists of sitting in the sun,
on the balcony overlooking the bay.
In Italy it is considered the best cure
for any weakness of the LUNGS or

in the soudan. The bandits fed into
the open desert, with the patrols in
pursuit. But the bandits rode the
feeter camels and escaped. In the
enthusiasm and excitement of the chase
one patrol, composed Of several Mauri-
tanians, went a little too far into the
desert and was never seen again
These men were figuratively swallowed
The joint exploration party remained
at the we'll until December 80, when a
split was made, allowing the Algerian
column to retrace its journey back to
Tabelbaa and Algiers. The Maurita-
MAN column, now under command of
Captain Augieras, started southward
with an Immense stretch of desert be-
tween it and safety. To traverse this
successfully -day after day over burn
sky and an occasional mirage to look at
meant the success of the exploration.
The route lay toward the province of
Senegal, the capital of which is St.
Louis, on the Atlantic coast. The ter
minus of the exploration, however, was
Dakar the French cable station, which
lies on small peninsula more than
hundred miles south of st. Louis
From the well of Abd-el- Maleb to the
nearest reported water, at Aguelt, was
a distance of nearly five hundred miles,
and to Dakar was another six hundred

visitors we're friends and interested
in the counterfeiting scheme, the pho

Of a silk factory, and his partner, Carlo

Cali made full confession. He said
that for many years he had been work

when he counterfeited government
bonds some years ago. He had striven
to rehabilitate himself, but was con-
tinually pursued by longing for great
wealth Last year he thought out a
great scheme, which consisted in buy

them and selling the counterfcits, or
using them for borrowing money
He pondered so much that he had
to confess to his friend and partner,
Carlo Mesehia, who, far from dissuad-

working and planning. They began with

2 $500 one, sold that and continued
in this way until they reached the sum
Of $4,000. This bond was used as
model for those afterward made
and now in the possession of the police.
BY counterfeiting on large scale, they
had hoped to use these bonds as Sc
curity in their business undertakings.

H<HE biggest counterfeiting coup
ever attempted has just been
la discovered by the police in
Milan. The value of the counterfeited
Treasury bonds found hidden in the
house Of one of the accom- lices
amounts to more than one million dol
lars.
About two months ago bank in
Milan and another in Rome notified
the police that false bonds of the face
value of $4,000 were being negotiated
by persons unknown. The cleverest de-
tectives were put on the track, but no
one could be caught simultaneously
the police in Milan were looking for a
man who had counterfeited the customs
stamps at Saronne. Their suspicion
fell on q young electrician, we'll known
as an engraver, who was employed in
the electric works; but FOR some time
he had been missing from home.
This man, Della Vecchia, was we'll
known among artists and esteemed as
one himself When fifteen DAYS ago the
eficials of bank again notified the
police that they had heard that other
$4,000 bonds had been circulated the
authorities decided to search the house
OF Della Vecchia. The electrician
was out, but his wife was at
home Posing as collector from the
works, the detective examined the m ter
and then insisted on searching the
studio. There he found forged seals,
with which the Treasury bonds must
nave been stamped. The wife could
throw no light on the matter, and
though arrested insisted on her limo
cence The husband had disappeared
entirely and some say he has gone
abroad.

The lieutenant called on him, in the
name OF the law, to accompany him to
the police station When he reached
there he confessed he knew something
about the counterfeiting, but that an
other painter could enlighten the police
further. This friend proved to be
Carlo PeZZaia, who had turned his
studio into an uptodate typographical

ssay bronze and zinc plates. He made
full confession and told the lieuten~
ant that the bonds were first photo
craphed by one man and then taken
to Della Vecchia who engraved the
plates, while the. printing was done in
his studio.
The seals. the printing press, paper
and plates having been found, the next
task was to find the photographer and
