SHAW NOT UNDER THE BAN.
Public Library Allows His Admirers Free
Access to Irish Dramatist.

The New-York Public Library has not put a ban
on George Bernard Shaw, Notwithstanding reports
that Man and Superman'' studiously concealed
from the youthful eye. Indeed Shaw in his native
state would disgust the young understanding
rather than poIIute it, according to one in high
authority at the library. Therefore, Mr.. Shaw 5
wrath at American "Comstockery' and provincial
ism, as expressed in public letter, was almost
wasted
shaw's books. according to a report which
reached him at his home in Ireland. were on the
Index expurgatorius.'' This did not please him,
and he castigated American taste to his own salts
factio- Dr. J. s. Billings. director Of the library
declined yesterday to discuss the case at all It
was learned at the library however, that there ex-
lists no restricted list of books. and that shaw
fs entirely accessible to any one VINO needs him.
Nevertheless he is not thrust at the young. ana
he is nor kept at all the branches of the library,
berarse there is not demand enough to warrant IL
The report that Shaw was being bOycotted arose
through unofficial library gossip. Arthur Z, Bost-
wick who is in charge Of the circulation depart
Toenf fold an assistant that il might be well not
to hurI Shaw the public. which meant that his
hooks would be put on the shelves from which
the public helps itself The report spread, became
garbled and caused Mr.. Shaw to issue his opinion
Of American methods.
