American Doctors Praised
ROME, \ug. t - By The Associated
T'ress , Th? American doctors? who
attended Enrico Caruso in New York
during his critical illness las! winter
did "all that was humanly possible
under the condition-; of the pal
they could not do more."
This opinion was given to-,ia> by Dr
Raffaelc Bastianelli, reputed to he the
greatest surgeon in Italy, who, with
his brother Guiseppe, attended trie
famous singer when le" suffered the re?
lapse last week which led to his death.
Regarding Caruso's illness in Amer
?et, Pr. Bastianelli said: "It sea- un?
doubtedly putrid empyema, which im?
mediately put the patient in such a
grave condition that it must be con?
sidered a miracle that the American
doctors succeeded in saving his life."
Tells of Illness
Recounting the last ii1* days of
Caruso' llness, th - urgeon
said:
"I. with my brother Guiseppe, visited
i aruso professionally on July ~ at
* orrento. After a careful examina
" both agreed that the present
and past suffering of 'he great tenor
was derived fron, a subrenal abscess,
ably in the left kidney.
"We mimed :ately decided thatCarUSO
should he taken to Rome and submit?
ted to riii X-ray examination in order
iplete our diagnosis, and a'so as a
guide ut the operation which was to
have been executed immediately after.
At that time I arn o's condition was
relat vely good. This was emphasized
by the fact that he laughed and joked
with us, explaining by operatic mo
-
"So strong was he then that he stood
? ii before us and made a motion of
singing in the act of reaching high
midst of a dramatic set
ting. Then tie -ail jocosely:
'?'When i a about to reach a high

rning t.- the subject of Caruso's

...rave complication of Caruso's ail
? that time "absorbed the en

have lost half of life itself. It is
when the Metropolitan season reopens
that people will realize that Caruso
is really dead. They cannot accept it
now. They will then know thai his
marvelous voice ?a forever s'illeu;
that the warmth or' a great personality
has been removed from their midst."
Memorial to Follow His Wishes
The $1,000,000 national memorial
proposed by the Order of the Sous of
Italy to take the form that Caruso
would have wished. At a meeting held
yesterday ?it the East Hiver Bank, 680
Broadway, of the new!;, formed com
mittee which is organizing the Na?
tional American Caruso Memorial
Foundation, tentative plans wore laid
for an endowment winch will enable
struggling young musicians to com?
plete their studies both here and
abroad.
Numerous offers of assistance und
cooperation were received by the com?
mittee. Major F. 11. La Guardia, one of
its members, said thai the Memorial
; Foundation project was the finest
tribute that, could be paid to the
memory of the singer.
Though their plans for a tribute
have no! taken definite shape, sailors
of the Italian liner Argentina set undei
v. ay a project, which they expect will
spread to the entire Italian merchant
marine, numbering some 300,000 sea?
men. The proposal was made that they
. should erect a monument of majestic
proportions rising over the entrance
to the Bay of Naples. A shaft ol
Italian marble was suggested by Cap
tain Stupavich, of the Argentina, anc
approved by the crew.
There was an immediate response tc
the appeal made by 11 Progresso ?talo
Americano, the Italian language news?
paper published at 42 Elm Street, foi
funds to place a bronze bust of the
tenor in the Metropolitan Opera House
More than $1,000 was subscribed yes?
terday, Scotti heading the list wit!
$200. '
Son I'ndecided as to Future
Enrico Caruso jr., second son of the
great tenor, passed his father's fu?era'
day at the Vanderbilt Hotel will
Bruno Zirata, who was the tenor'

night from Culver Military Aeademj
at Culver, Ind., where he is a cadet.
One of the last letters to be receive,
in America from Caruso was addressee
to F. C. Coppicus and read:
"My halth improves daily and 1 cai

there is nothing to say, because I hav
not tried it as yet, but I believe it i

do not feel that America is so far away
Thank you for your affectionat
thoughts."
Romeyn Benjamin, brother of Mr;
Caruso, sailed yesterday on the line
France to join his sister. He is th
only immediate member of the famil
who has gone abroad.

Harding'* Note in Reply
Delivered to Obregon
Exchange of Letters Said Not :
to Carry Suggestion of New j
Treaty Negotiations
MEXICO CITY, Aug 4 (By The As?
sociated Press). George T. Summer
lin, the American Charge d'Affaires,
visited President Obregon this after- !
noon at Chapultepec Castle and is
understood to have delivered to him
a reply by President Harding to a!
recent personal letter of President
Obregon, carried to Washington by
Elmer Dover, who is said here to be
a special agent in the employ of the :
Mexican government.
The nature of President Obregon s
letter and of Mr. Ha-ding's reply did
not carry a suggestion of new treaty
negotiations. Various Mexico City
newspapers recently have declared
such negotiations were in contempla?
tion.
Assertions in the newspapers here
to-day that Mr. Summerlin will depart
shortly for Washington were denied by
Mr. Summerlin.
President Obregon shortly will issue
a proclamation of amnesty which will
apply to all adherents of former Pro -1
dent Carranza now in the United States,
who recently signed a manifesto ex?
pressing good will toward Jho present
Mexican government, according to Las
Noticias. The newspaper says it has
received semi-official information to
this effect.
