tire eighteenth floor had been denied
to visitors, save for the tenor's closest
personal friends.
Antonio Scott, the great baritone,
who perhaps has sung with Caruso
more than any other artist, was one of
the first to be permitted to see the
tenor today. ''''
Stages Strong Rally.
'-Enrico Caruso has rallied from a
very severe cola pse,"- his physicians
announced today in an official bulletin.
"Caruso's present condition is not sat
isfactory, but there is some improve
ment," the bulletins said.
The bulletin was issued after the
five physicians had held a consulta

understood he was still in imminent
peril of death from heart trouble and
pleurisy, but that he had temporarily
recovered from the very low condition
into which he sank about a. m.
The reports from the Caruso suite
were that the singer, who lapsed into
coma several times during the night,
his mind apparently was clear. He
was extremely weak, however.

Mrs. Caruso's parents arrived shortly
afterward.

A Quiet. Firm Manner.
No loud and blazing zeal for her
cause is apparent about Miss Mac
Swiney. Her manner has a quiet firm
ness that is more appealing and sim
cere than that of the ranting crusaders.
Her eyes are Irish blue" one per-
eeives at first glance, and frequently
show an Irish flash of feeling. Her
brown hair has become partly gray.
Her severely simple black silk gown,
probably worn in mourning for her
late brother, is becoming to her. type.
Miss MacSwiney fingered letters in
her lap as she talked.
There are heartbreaking things In

said. They are things Americans

Came Here December 4.
Miss MacSwiney came to America
December 4. Her first intention was
to come as companion for her sister,
in-law, Mrs. Terrence MacSwiney, wife
of the late lord mayor of Cork. who
had been asked to testify of conditions
in Ireland in America. But Mrs. Mac
Swiney's health was frail and she was
advised not to put herself under the
strain. The two women came to
America, but Miss MacSwiney agreed
to give the testimony before the
American commission for investiga-
/ ton Of Irish affairs. She took three
days to tell what she had to say of her
country's condition to the commits
sion in Washington. She left the cap
ital December 16 and has since been
visiting many of the larger cities in
| this country. and particularly capital
cities. Often she has been asked to
address the legislatures in the various
states.
