Mellon says $250 million cut in government spending needed
Secretary Mellon told the Ways and Means Committee that to avoid new taxes the ordinary expenditures must be slashed by over 250 million dollars in the current fiscal year. He cited July spending at 822 million against 507 million last year and a July deficit of 113 million, urging large reductions to keep total outlays within revenue targets. He outlined itemized July costs by department and warned that current rates would exceed estimates without drastic restraint. He also proposed tax revisions and rate changes to meet revenue goals for 1922 and beyond.

Funeral for Noted Singer Delayed in Naples Church
Naples crowds gathered at the Basilica of San Francesco di Paola for the funeral of world famous tenor Enrico Caruso who died Tuesday. A platform was built for four hundred singers, and a catafalque centered the basilica as representatives of the king, Italian government, and U.S. figures prepared to attend. The scene shifted from the Hotel Vesuvio where the bier lay to a temporary chapel as officials safeguarded his estate and documents. Two wills reportedly exist, with the widow and two sons as heirs, while a London dispatch notes the New York will and Sorrento will. Caruso’s funeral marks the first for a non-royal at the Royal Basilica, a vow-driven honor in Naples.
