Caruso, arc the stories of stormy sceues
with his father over his desire to
become a singer, and his leaving home
tt the age of fifteen.
Hli first singing was done in a church
choir and while he was employed in
nccbanical work in n laboratory dur

until he was sought after in neigh

Following n required term of serv-1-e
in the nrm , and spurred on by the
glowing praises of his teachers and
friends. Caruso went to Cnscrta for a
season nf opera which resulted in a
ttcadv stream of successes.
All the cnpltuls of Europe, famous
for tbeir opera companies and their
musical tradition", became known to
this voung tenor. From Italy he went
to Egypt and from Egjpt to Pari.
thence' to Trlin, Argentina, Uio

the choir hoy of Naples, was world
famous To his orlginul role in
"Cavalleria KiMicanu," he ndded u re
markable repertoire which includes the
works of authors old und new, and
of manv nationalities.
He tirst swung into th American
horizon on November 23, 11)03. on the
opening night of the opera season in

and Cnru.o's associates were Mme.
Serabrirh and Sigtior Scotti. The met

one after the other, lu the roles of
Ithndamo in "Aidn." Covaradoss-i in
"Tosra ' Oiinin in "PtigHacci," one of

(itiestlons counsel for the defense ob- '
Jccted to his testimony, basing that
objection on the fact that he believed
he wns going to gie (estimouv rela
tive to what the def ndant ha'd done ,
after the commission of the crime.
Mr. Cnrrow declared that this wns '
Iminatcrlul, Incompetent and Irrelevant.
What the defendant did after the.
crime and what wus done with the body '
Is not relevant to this case," declared
Mr. Carrow. Ho was overruled by the'
luiin. wnicn stated tlmt the witness
ld ho allowed to testify, nnd then,
if the court thought the testimony
irrelevant it would be ruled out.
The court also allowed Mr. Cnrrow
u general exception to its ruling.
Kelly then testified that bo was em
ployed as u taxicab driver, that he had
been engaged on the night of October
by Schuck and .Tames nt Broad
Street Station, to drive them to the
Arlington Apartments. He stated he
took them north on Broad street to
Diamond, and not knowing the address
of tbn apartments, they turned south on
Sixteenth. T'nnble to find the apart
menus, he said, they decided to look for
the address In a telephone directory.
Kelly (.old he then took them to a

und "picked up" two girls.

the 6iiloon, he drove Schuck. James audi
the two girls to u house on Green street,
wnere ne lett tnem, after making ar
rangements to return the next morning
with a touring car to take them to New

able to procure a louring cur.
I'lider cross-examination. Kellv wns
asked If Schuck wasn't "pretty well iu
toxicated." He replied. "No, be was not what I
would call intoxicated."
Tal DrUcr Testifies
A woman many persons believed wn
Mrs. David S. Paul, widow of the mur
dered man. came into the courtroom
leaning on the arm of Harry Paul, of
Mt. Holly, the son. Young Paul denied
it was his mother. Mrs. Puul was
not present at the James trial. She
bus been living with relatives at (Jlasa
boro. George Jnuss, n tiixieab driver of
Phi'ndelphia, repeated the testimony
be gave nt the James trial concerning
the three days' "jo.Vridc" In which
James and. for part of the time, Schuck
indulged, just after the murder.
His testimony wns considerably
briefer than at the James trial, deal
ing only in essentials. Ho first met
Jnmes and Schuck, ne said, on October
7. The morning of October 0, he said,
he took Schuck and James for a ride
through Overbrook, and Schuck got out
nt Sixty-third and Market streets, ar
ranging to meet James there again
that evening. Schuck kept the, engage
ment, driving up in another smaller
taxicab, and after he and James hud
talked u few moments in this machine,
Schuck transferred 10 James' taxi and
handed James a paper package, which
the latter put in 11 bluck handbag. Schuck
got out of the car again, tho witness
said, at Fifty -second and Walnut
streets.
During the testimony of the driver
Mrs. Schuck snt with lier head bowed,
only glancing up once or twice. She
did not weep, however, nor wns there
any sign of a breaking down of her
morale.
Can't Identify Shoel
The taxi drivei was followed lv
several lesser witnesses. One of these,
August Ilildern, SIM Iiroadway, a
florist, testified Schuck had bought a
potted plunt some time in October for
a dollar. Mrs. Lottie Weyland, n
widow, whose husband died suddenly
Inst week, and who keens u hardware
store ot 131!) Mt. Kphruini avenue,
testified she had sold a tire shovel to
Schuck some time in October, but did
not remember the dute und could not
identify the shovel with which, it is
nlleged, he buried the murder loot in
Kvergreeu Cemetery .
Henry Robinson, ."17 Park boule
vard, 11 boyhood friend of Schuck,
nodded and spoke to him us he passed
to tlie witness stand. He testified on
October 11 he had lent thn defendant
bin uutomobile. Later in thn day he
saw Schuck, he said, between the
Homeopathic Hospital and Evergreen
Cemetery, on Mt. Fphrium avenue.
On October -."I. the witness testified,
he let Scluick buve the car again, this
time for M-vcral days, and Schuck paid
him $."0 hire for it. At the time, he
said, Schuck told him he had gone to
Newport, N. J., for 11 rest.
"The papers, were full of James' ar
rest nt this time," the witness said,
"and I asked Schuck if he had unything
to do with it.
"He answered, 'No, not 011 your
life and I don't believe Frank (James 1
hnd unything to do with it either.' '
"Why Did You Ask?"
"Why did you ask such a iiucstionV
Inquired I'l" utor Wolverton. "II111I
you any special reason to suspect it
might be mi'.'"
"No," the witness answered. "It
was 'just curiosity on my part. I knew
that Schuck and James were gicat
friends."
Christian du Ponl. of Woodlyn, fore
man of the Evergreen Cemetery, testi
ilid Sehiuk's grandfather owned l"t
11)11. Section N. in tin- cemeteiy. On
11 day in October, the witness said,
Schuck had come to him and ashed di
rection to the lot.
Harry Beeves, keeper of a general
store hi Mcdford. who testified at the
Jiuni" trial, testified today he hud sold
11 rake ami shovel to .1 nines in Si liucls
picsence, and identified both by bis
private price marks. Tbev were put in

Kclitich Averts liyes
It wns nearly 10 :H0 o'clock before
Mrs. Schuck entered the courtroom. The
trial wus in nrocress. She came In the
door near the judge's stand und walked
past the table where her husband und
his lawyer sat without speaking.
Schuck had uverte dhis eyes when he
recoguized her nnd made no move us
her sleeve almost brushed his Bhoulder.
Clad in the sumo ncut blue suit und
bat, the wife sat among other specta
tors on the second row.
More wniiHii were in attendance to
day than nt any other time since the
trial began Mondny. Intense interest
was cunlfested in women witnesses and
in testiinonj given by taxi drivers.
As the fur coat was brought forth
women half rose in their scuts to see the
sl'-Oprment. There were "ohs" and
"nhs' of admiration from many femi
nine lips. Schuck himself blushed
slightly and his lips tightened.
So many persons wanted to get in
for this morning's sitting of tho trial
that they broke down the door on 'he
Broadway side of the courthouse.
It wns the biggest crowd of the three
days that the triul has been in progress.
It was a biggest crowd than assembled
at any dny of the trial of James.
Long before 1) o'clock the crowd bod
formed in a long line about the court
house. So heuvy was tho press nt the
door itself thnt lu spite of efforts of
bpe.'iiil details of bailiffs and police,
'he door tinnllv yielded to the weight
of the milling crowd und was burst in.
A stream of people went in who were
promptly put out again by tho police,
Order was restored.
Woman's Brc-flier There
One of those on hand early was Tred
McGorvey, brother of Mrs. Mary Mc
Garvey. Y'oung McGorvey sought the prose
cutor's office to tell Prosecutor Wolver
ton that his sjyter could not be present
because of illness In the absence of
Mr. Wolverton nt the time McGarvey
arrived ho suw Assistant Prosecutor
Burling.
Mr. Burling would not say how long
Mrs. McGorvey would be absent on nc
count of illness Nor would ho say
whether her testimony was essential to
the case.
Young McGarvey refused to talk to
reporters. He said his mother as well
as his sister had been made ill by the
notoriety of the cae.
James is expected to take the witness
ftnnd to testifv against Schuck.
James, though u convicted criminal,
uud theretore. under the New Jersey
luw . a witness whose testimony is to be
received with caution, possesses knowl
edge of the, crime which is regarded as
essential for n conviction in Schuck'
case.
Schuck s attorney said today that
James is so incensed agulnst Schuck for
his confession that he will bn a willing
witness for the state.
LIES, SAYS FATHER
OF MRS. M'GARVEY
Mrs. Mary McGarvey was reported to
be still quite sick today at the home of
her fath t, Fred Monnch, Chnucellor
street iicur Fifty -second.
A woman named, McGarvey has been
mentioned in connection with the mur
der trial of Raymond W. Schuck in
Camden. Schuck wus n friend of Mrs.
Mary McGarvey and her family.
Mrs. McGarvey is the wife of William
McGarvey, who lives in a suburban
town nuil until live months ngo wus
u,u employe of the Pennsylvania Rail
road. They have -i five-year-old son.
Sir. Monnch snid yesterday thnt his
daughter and her husband were not liv
ing together lici atl-e, due to the house
shortage, they could not get a bouse,
and had decided to go to their family
homes temporarily. Tlie son ih witn
Mrs. McGarvey. but the husband is said
to go occasionally and get the boy to
take him for'n visit at the grandmoth
er's home in the country .
At toduv's sitting of the trial a fur
coat was identified by a Walnut street
furrier as one which Scluick hud bought
on October 7 for u young woman whoso
naiiii- Ihe furrier said was "McGur
vcy Denies She Got Coat
Mr. Mount h and anolher daughter
of his deuHl that Mrs. McGurvey ever
was given a fur coat by St buck. The
father rep.-it'-d his iis-crtlnii of yes-tei-dav
that liN daughter bad bought
nnd paid for her coat, and had a re
ceipt for ii.
The father denied also the rumor that
was wliispcicd around the courtroom
vesterday thnt Mrs. McGarvey had been
taken bv Schuck In see n bungalow in
New Jersev which he proposed to buy
for Iwr. Thii was supposed to buve
been Mime lime before the murder.
"The truth of that story was," said
Mr. MoiuhIi. "that u man, a friend'of
die family. Inst ins wife and inherited
some money from her estate. He thought
he would buy a home in New Jersey,
lie bad 'in automobile and he came lure
one d.iv, getting Schuck and another
mini and taking Mary along to see the
house. He didn't like the house and
tin- de-il fell through."
Mr. Monnch also denied; that Mary
knew Mis. Scluick, wife of Raymond
sjchuck. "It may be that Mrs. Schuck
saw my daughter nt some time," the
father said, "but it i a pack of lies to
say tliat .Mis. Schuck knew Mary. .My
(luughteruevcr saw Mrs. Schuck in her
life. She did not know there wa.s a
.Mrs. Schuck.
Had II Willi Sclmcli
"And it Is a lie. loo, lo say thai
Schuck ever gave my daughter any
money to keep for him. We understood
that Scliuik had a little money , but
he never said lie hnd uud never gave
uny evidence of it. I have had u glass
of beer with him now and then, uud I
never saw him with more than n couple
of dollars."
The father said Ihe family had every
reason to respect Schuck. "He wits a
niie bov, nnd I don't believe he Is
guilty. He never paid any special at
tention to my daughter. He came here
a few times to cue the family. He was
a gentleman in every way.
"If my daughter were not ill I would
have her go over to die trial iu ('.linden
to refute the stories that have been
spread uboul her. Believe me, when
this thing is over, I intend to muke
some nf the puiplc who have been talk
ing about my gill lake back the things
they have said."

Senate Oligarchy
Harding's Problem
C'ontlnnet! from I'iuc On
ssy. "or we'll build n dam right here
lu front of the whole Republican ap
propriation program thnt will give
your Mr. Harding cold sweats at
night."
Maybe they'll get their ten millions.
But It all takes time, ns do tariff
politics nnd it mokes Mr. Harding's
pleu for hnRte Ineffectual.
Besides the tnrlff and Muscle Shoals
there is the pncker'bill. Thin provides
for a commission to reguluto the pack
ing industry. It begins in a modest
way, as tho regulation of the railroads
did. But n lot of perfectly honest
people who don't think thnt govern
ment regulation has justified Itself any
where want to beat the packer bill. The
more of a jnm thev create over the ap
propriation bills, tlie less the chance for
pucKer legislation.
Tho ollg'ircby tears its hair nt the
politics of Mr. Penrose nnd the politics
of Mr. McCumber. and the vicious
nntics of the Democratic Muscle
Shoalers and the legislative tricks of the
honest folk who don't wunt to sen any
more government regulating und who
tnke eriously the promise to get the
government out of business nnd not put
It more into business. But it only ti-nrs
Its hair. An oligarchy tearing its bulr
is nn oligarchy near its full. No won
der some of Its members asked Mr.
Harding to intervene.
And if Mr. Duughcrlv tells Mr.
Harding all about the legislative situa
tion ho will include some views of the
House.
Now, the House isn't definitely re
Inted t- the fnmous oligarchy. But If
the Senate Is to be strong und domi
nant the whole of Congress must be ef
ficient. Thn House hnngs ns a sort ot
millstone about the neck of the Senate.
The final thing which brought on the
di-organlzntiotl In the House was the
budget system.
"What''" one exclaims, "that won
derful device that was going to bring
us up to the edge of an administrative
millenimum?"
Nothing else
The budget committee ban taken over
tin- powers of appropriation which used
to be divided up among the various,
committees And It leavew these old
committees nnd their chairmen with
nothing to do And thn old committees
and their hairmen are not huppv.
Thus Mr. Mondell, the Republican
door If add, who hasn't vet established
himself ns a master of his party, not
ly a long sight. Iris under him the tin
happ:est and most cantnnkerous fol
lowers any floor lender over hud. Tl.ev
arc not exactly expediting the Repub
licnn program, 'l'hey are sniping nt it,
nnd rolling logs n front of It. They
nrc Dulling seven ways for Sunday.
Mr. Mnndeil is distracted.
The House tituntion would be worse
than the Senate situation, only no
body's private griefs or ptrsonnl' poll
tics courts for so much in tho House
