H: JOv was in singing.
Famed Palled Him
"I promise you that when I go to"
heaven I shall sing forever," he told
an audience at the Friars club five
year ago.
Sometimes the possession of a
vole that thousands considered the
moat perfect ever given to a man,
palled upon the great tenor, and he
would express a regret that he could
not be Just an ordinary somebody.
"The burdens of my gift are
greater than the rewards," he would
say.
Trouble teemed ever to follow him,
yet he kept cheerful and undismayed.
In June, 1920, his country home was
robbed of thousands of dollars in
jewels and in the same week a bomb
was eet oft In the National theater at
Havana Just before his appearance.
Last December a disheartening
series of mishaps preceded the illness
which led to his death.
Two days before Christmas he lay
in bed, his chest tinder treatment for
"intercostal neuralgia" but the
Christmas Eve audience for "La
Juive' was not denied the joy Of
hearing him, for he left his sick room
and sang the role of "Eleazar."
Christmas he epent in bed and the
next day came word that pleurisy
had attacked him.
To the superstitious it seemed as if
the very heavens today mourned the
tenors loss, for scarcely had there
appeared on the streets the first
extras telling of his death, the day
became dark as night.
Great clouds heavy with rain
draped the skies and soon New York
was working by artificial lights.
Successor Undetermined
NEW YORK. Aug. 2 There was
nc one in New York who could say
what singer would succeed the late
Enrico Caruso next fall as leading
tenor of the Metropolitan Opera
company.
Caruso's death in Naples today
waa considered by critics to have left
vacant a place in opera that no living
tenor can fill. For Caruso was king
o fthe opera.
Guilo Gatti-Cazzasa, general man
ager of the Metropolitan Opera com
pany, who selects the artists and the
operas is in Europe,
Caruso's earnings like his. fame,
surpassed those of other singers. His
annual income, ranged around a. half
million dollars,' it was said today.

PRICE OF GASOLINE
A reduction of two cents a gallon
in the price of gasoline, effective this
morning, was announced last night
by the Union Oil company of Ari
zona by H. F. Warner, district sales
manager. The new price, which is
expected to take effect at practicallv
all filling stations in the city, will
bring the retail price of "gas'" down
to 28H cents.
The reduction announced by the
Union' Oil company is the third In
the last three months, the original
price being 35 cents a gallon. A re
duction announced in May brought
the price down to S1H cents,- and
another the first of June to 29V4
cents. Soon after, however, a state
tax on gasoline became effective,
raising the price to 30 cents.
Mr. Warner said last nisht that the
reduction would go into effect
throughout the state, brging the
price st almost every point down to
approximately that in Phoenix.

Hoover Explains
Reason for Food
Crisis In Russia
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. General
decadence of agriculture, decay of.
transportation and a decrease of in
dustry in general of over 90 per cent
of the pre-war output, were held re
sponsible tonight by Secretary
Hoover for the food shortage in
Russia.
The most acute famine area, he
said ia a statement describing the
economic situation there, covers the
Volga valley from the Caspian sea
northward.
The drought there, he added, would
not be so fatal wire it not for the re
duction in the surplus crops in other
regions and the difficulties, due to
transportation, of moving such sur
pluses as do exist. He cited reports
showing the reduction of acreage un
der cultivation, varying from 100 per
cent in the province of Kazan to only
58 per cent in Samara of the acreage
cultivated last spring.
Tabulating the percentages of in
dustrial production 'during 1920 as
compared with the pre-war output.
he showed the largest outputs of 20
per cent were in -coal production and
the paper industry. They ranged
down to 0.8 per cent in copper ore
out or 13 industries. Some stimula
tioit to imports, he asserted, has been
given by shipment of the former bank
reserves of gold, but the total im
ports from April 1 to May 15 were
less than 4 per cent of the pre-war
average, while exports for April were
one-twentieth of 1 per cent of the
same pre-war period.
VRecent reports as to instructions
given to foreign agents of the 4 Rus
sian government," he concluded, "in
dicate that practical exhaustion of
gold ana consequent reduction of for
eign purchases."
Tonacio Contreras, a 12 -year-old
Mexican boy, was instantly killed
yesterday morning when he was
struck by the southbound Santa t
passenger train. The accident oc
curred near the cotton gin east of
Peoria a few minutes after the fain
had passed through that town. The
lad's body was dismembered and hor
ribly mangled.
With his father, Juaquin Contreras,
and two other Mexicans, Nacario
Erealante and Laura Peres, the fray
was traveling cross country with a
wagon. The night before they had
stopped bv the roadside at a point
where the Peoria-Glendale road runs
alongside the railroad, with only a
narrow depression between.
Shortly after the train had left
Peoria about 7 o'clock yesterday
morning, en route into Phoenix, Wil
liam Pentland, the engineer, noticed
a dark shape lying motionless on the
tracks ahead. The fireman saw it
about the same time, and both
thought it was a sack, or perhaps a
bit of cloth. To one side of the
tracks were three. Mexicans. It w-as
only when the locomotive was within
a few yards of the object that it
moved, and then Pentland saw it was
a boy. The engineer threw on his
brakes, but it was too late. The boy
seemed to raise his head as the en
gine struck him.
The train was brought ' to a stop
Immediately and the body removed
fcom. beneath a car. The head and
limbs had been severed by the wheels.
Coroner Jay Sigworth of Peoria wl
notified and impaneled a Jury, which
returned a verdict of accident.
Every fact brought out at the in
quest indicated that the boy had gone
to sleep on the tracks, and had
awakened only when the train was
rushing down upon him. Hl father
and the other two Mexican said they
had not noticed where the boy was,
and it had not occurred to them that
he might be on the tracks. Pentland,
seeing the men so near, in turn never
thought of the possibility of the Ob
ject on the tracks being a man.
Little could be learned of th boy's
familv. except that it lived until re
cently on West Hadley street, near
Thirteenth avenue. The body wij
turned over to the county.

OPTOMISM MEET
Featuring an "Optimism Meeting"
of the Klwanls club yesterday by the
presentation of facta and figures con
cerning the progress being made in
PhOenix at the present time, Leo
Weaver, secretary of the Builders'
Exchange, delivered an informative
address on what is being done here
in the erection of new buildings, to
gether with a list of comparative
prices here and on the Pacific coast.
Weaver's address had .been de
livered a few days before at the Ro
tary club, and a full summary of it
was printed in The Republican of
Saturday morning. It is of interest,
however, to consider that $974,000 Is
being expended now for new School
buildings, or has been expended dur
ing the last few months. To that
sum must be added $440,000 in other
bond issues, the money from which
will be available soon. Other build
ings, publio and private, which have
been contracted for since the fimt
of the year, amount to $1,729,000,
with permits still keeping a better
than general average.
Charles F. Willis, editor of the Art
sons Mining Journal, followed Weaver
with another optimism talk, after
which J. Oscar Sexson. secretary of
the T. M. C. A. gave some facts con
cerning that organization which
showed that its finances have been
coming in without any appreciable
let-up as compared with former
years.
The meeting was opened by Royal
W. Lescher, president of the club,
who read a letter of invitation to the
San Carlos celebration at Casa
Grande on August 12. Announce
ment was made that the club will
visit the Arizona Packing company
next Tuesday instead of partaking of
the regular luncheon at the T. M. C.
A. Members will meet at the T. M. j
C. A. building atnoon and will drive
to the company's plant on the Tempe
road.
Fred Ensign, chairman of the day,
then took Over the meeting. The
attendance prize, given by Jack
Daniels, wss won bv Donald Dunbar.
James Mulrein will give the prize
next week.
The club also resolved to Invite
the members of the Elks drill team
to be its guests on August 16. Fred
Tregaskes brought the meeting to a
close with a short address in which
he urged the members to use every
effort to increase the tourist travel
to Phoenix, giving tome particular
examples of the good that has been
accomplished by a little missionary
work in the past.
TEACHERS TEST TO
BE HELD AUGUST 15
Examinations for teachers' certifi
cates will be held On Monday and
Tuesday, August IS and 14. at the
school administration building, ac
cording to an announcement made
yesterday by A. L. Jones, county
school superintendent. These will be
the first examinations to be held un
der the new rules and regulations
adopted in July by the state board of
education. L'nder these rules only a
"trial certificate" can be secured on
examination. It is good for two years
and entitles the holder to teach in
the grades from th first to the
eighth, and is renewable csly upon
evidence of ten semester hours f
training at an approved normal school
or college in addition to at least one
year of successful teaching during
the life of the certificate.
Applicants under the rules must
have completed a full four-year
course at an approved secondary
school and must be at least IS years
old. In case where a second grade
Arizona certificate is held, the- rules
state, the high school graduation may
be waived. If the applicant in this
case passes the examination, the sec
ond grade certificate is converted into
a "trial certificate." Under the new
rules, the first and second grade
certificates have been abolished.
However, all certificates now in force
remain valid for the period fc rMch
originally issued. Certificates to
teach specified subjects cannot be se
cured by examination but only upon
adequate specialized training in the
subject.
The subjects to be taken in the
examination are algebra, arithmetic.
elements of psychology, t pedagogy,
general culture, reading, literature,
spelling, grammar, general science,
physiology, geography, Llstory and
civics.

HEARINGS HELD BY
STATE TAX
Another series of hearings took
place yesterday before the state board
of equalization. At the first there
appeared H. J. Duffy, chief clerk of
the United Verde Mining company, to
protest against the price of unsold
copper as fixed by the state tax com
mission, 15.7 cents, and suggesting a
reduction to 13 cents, the market
price of copper at the beginning of
the year.
The commission's figures were an
average price of copper for the pre
vious year, ranging from 18 cents a
pound downward. Another matter
brought up by Mr. Duffy was th
designation in the assessment of th
railway running from Jerome to
Clarkdale, which appears as an ordi
nary railway. Vr. Duffy desired that
it might be designated as a plant
road whose traffic was made up of
the business of the mining company
Sampel H Morris of the Miami
Copper company appeared before th
board asking for an increase of th
factor of capitalization of that com
pany to IS per cent instead of IS per

Not a Penny of Premium in the Price of
World's Greatest Motor Car Value
The man who buys the Cadillac becomes the owner. of the
most distinguished achievement recorded in its field but he
acquires that distinction without paying a penny's worth
of premium.
This Is so because, in the matter of price, the Cadillac actually
reverses a world wide practice.
There is an unwritten business law that when a manufactured
article is conceded to be without equal among its kind, the
buyer gladly gives more for the greater value which its
excellence assures him'.
In the case of the Cadillac, this admission of greater value is
freely and frankly given.
And yet contrary to world.wide custom the Cadillac is lower
in price than the cars which eagerly seek comparison with it.
Moreover, it outsells all of them combined by a volume which is
something like one-third greater.
This latter fact explains why the Cadillac is not only the
world greatest value in point of all that constitutes superb
performance, but the world's greatest value in price as well.
It is the only car of its high character which has been able to
apply to a large production that fineness of manufacture
which is really its special excellence and value.
And by reason of that large volume, the Cadillac is spared
the necessity of asking a higher price for manifestly higher
excellence.
