Naples Stops Work to
Pay Great Tenor
Tribute.

NAPLES. Aug. 3-The room
where Enrico Caruso said farewell
TO the world has been transformed
into a chapel. Gorgeous masses Of
flowers banked solidly against. the

it a chapel OF light and beauty.
Here Caruso lies in state, while
all Naples. from the city's highest
dignitaries to the lowliest of its
laborers, has streamed endlessly
past the master singer to pay trib-
ute to its illustrious one. Outside
the Hotel Vesuvius are thousands
upon thousands of silent Neapoli-
tans. The city has stopped work
to mourn.
Mayor Pays Visit.
Clad in robes Of mourning. the
mayor of Naples. accompanied by
his under officials. has paid his state
