MARK TWA|N'S
BOOKS BARRED
FROM LIBRARY

New York. March 2S.-The Brooklyn
public libraries have issued an order with
holding Mark Twain's "Huckleberry
Finn" and Tom Sawyer from children
considered by the library authorities to
be under the age OF discretion. The order
against the two classics OF boyhood went
into effect two weeks ago. The library
after mature deliberauon de-
cided such works were likely TO convince
young minds OF the fitility OF the ten
commandments. Mr. Clemens was nou-
fed by letter.
The authors reply is said TO be quite
the finest piece OF writing he has ever
done but unfortunately IL Is not for pub
lication. The library authorities win not
show II without Mr.. Clemens permission,
and Mr. Clemens characteriStically re-
fuses TO tell what II contains without per-
mission from the library people. Frank
Il. Hill, the librarian I'm charge in Brook
lyn. has the letter.
At Mr. Clemens residence No. 81 Fifth
avenue, he sent down word yesterday that
he was too Ill 10 see anyone Ills secre-
tary, however, with his sanction, said the
letter formed part OF a strictly private
correspondence. Simply certain men con
nected with Brooklyn libraries had found
passages I'm Mr.. Clemens's hooks insult
able. In their opinion, for assimilation by
young minds. They had written Mr.
Clemens and he had replied expressing his
own opinion In his own way.
Mr. Clemens Is confined TO his bed with
what he calls his annual attack q bron-
chitis," but expects TO be out in few
days

RICH WIDOW AS
SILLY As A GIRL
Of SIXTEEN

Philadelphia. March 2s.-On petition OF
two OF the sons and a brother, Judge
Butler in the Chester county court today
appointed the Girard Trust company
guardian for Mrs Henry h. Coke, the
rich widow. who 10 determined to marry
a poor English doctor despite the protests
OF her family.
The wedding was to have taken place
In this city on the Tuesday following
Easter. DR.. Hill was to arrive from Eng
land on Apr. 4.
The appointment OF a guardian does not
necessarily stop the wedding, but the
family believes that since 1t will secure
Mrs. Coxe's 100000 fortune II may les
sen the charms OF the 60-year-old widow
In the eyes OF Dr. Hill. Her relatives de-
clare she is In her second childhood
Evan Shelby, New York lawyer. who
represented Mrs Coke. presented a ply

formerly lived In apartments in Park ave-
nu for which she paid $500 a month. but
recently she took n suite In the Holland
House Her income Is $4,000 year, and
out OF 10 ehe has saved s23S. 600.
DIR. Charles Il. Webber. who went
abroad with Mrs. Coke In 1906 as her ply
sician testified that he prevented Mrs.
Coke from eloping with DR. Hill last oc-
tobcr in London.
"He came down for the week end eight
successive weeks and Mrs Coke paid his
hotel bills" said Dr. webber.
"IIe always had champagne Whenever
he visited Mrs. Coke all the money she
had on hand would disappear"

There was n buzz OF expectancy all over

their chief. Democrats crowded the aisles
and II was highly dramatic moment
when the speaker himself. pale, but car

in a voice that reached every corner Of
the chamber:
..If II affords him (Shackleford) any
consolation 10 make me a stalking horse
on account OF the quarrel with the mi
nority leader, well and good"
Applause rang through the hall, which
was hushed by the chairman's determined
effort not to let the house get away from
the point at issue. The greater part OF the
day was taken up with discussions on rec

passage OF the urgent deficiency bill the
House refusing to instruct the delegates

reciprocity In conjunction with the Mum
roe Doctrine.
A few paragraphs Of the legislative APP

tactics heretofore resorted 20 by Messrs
Prince and Harwick In defeating provi-
sions by points OF order were resumed.
The sensational incident was preclpita-

voice read prepared statement regarding

sick to think of it, but it
isn't nearly as bad as it
used to be. The improved
method of refining it
makes it much easier to

every one can take it.
Most children like it and
all children that are not

BRYAN FOR PEACE.

In a talk delivered at a banquet
given by the Bankers Club of Toxic
in his honor, William Jennings Bryan
offered a suggestion for insuring
world peace The idea seems eri-
nently sound and practicable. Mr.,
Bryan explained that the Hague trl-
bunal cannot always settle intern4-
tional disputes because questions al
fecting the integrity and honor of IA
lions are expressly reserved from al
bitration. He said that nations never
Know when their honor or integrity
are liable to become involved. They
are reluctant, therefore. about sub
hitting any controversies whatever
to The Hague Tribunal.
81 want to propose a plan" Mr..
Bryan went on. that may avoid he
difficulty and lead to some good re-
suit. If the nations. before declasing
war. would agree that there would be
some sort of impartial investigator
by an international tribunal, and re-
port its conclusions, each nation re-
serving the right to exercise its own
free will afterwards, the investigation
could not bind the parties. but only
to report or commend-because you
cannot always tell what questions
may be brought up or what they VIII
lead to-but who. if believing in peace
can object to an impartial board IL
curing into the justice of the dis
pu'e and expressing the public opi1-
ion Of the world?
Il believe the establishment Of sucn
a Board, leaving to the nations the
right of Independent action afterwards
would do much to settle the difficult
ties between nations-would do even
more than any system involving an
agreement in advance to abide by she
decision"
The plan is a good one. While il
might not have the effect of putting
an end to war it would certainly have
tendency in that direction SUP
pose the court of investigation unani
mously decided that the demands G.
given nation were unjust Would
not that have a tremendous effect j.
