White sank to the ground un- conscious. An ambulance was sum- moned, and while On the way to the city hospital, White died.
 The fatal termination of the game caused the boys to disperse to their homes. Green was located at his home, 320 West Eleventh street, by Sergeant McDaniels, who had been notified of the killing, and lodged in the city jail. Green says that during his dis pute, White called him several names which so enraged him that he picked up bat and struck White twice. He also says that White had picked up a bat as if to fight before he (Green) struck and that he would have hi1 White the third time had not the lat ter's playmates interferred wher White dropped tc the ground.

Library's Beginning
The beginnings of the John Carter
Brown library date back into our early
history. Members of the Brown family
for whom the university was named
We're collectors of books in pre-rcvolu-
tiOnary times. The gathering, however
of the present collection was due to
John Carter Brown, born in 1897, and
generally considered as the greatest
connosscur of Americana, probably
outranking even James LenoX of New
York. Mr.. Brown at the outset of his
collecting career included various specl-
mems of the work of famous European
eXponcnts of the printing art, as Of
the Aldine family of Venice; but pres
entity he limited the scope of his ac-
QUESTIONS to works printed before 1900
and bearing on North America and
South America.
He was immensely assisted in his
undertaking by an eccentric but capa-
bic biblophile, an American resident
for many years in London, who usually
described himself as Henry Stevens
of Vermont, photographer and lover Of
books, fellow of (Various learned soCie-
tics), blackballed Athenaeum club of
London, also patriarch of Skull and
Bones of Yale and member of (Various
historic societies), B. A. and NJ. A. of
Yale college as well as citizen of NOvlo-
magus, etc" With all his peculiarities
MI stevens had remarkable genius for
discovering important books and for
discarding those of no value.
John Carter Brown on his death in
1914 left his private library to his Wife,
who administered it during the minor
IitY of their two sons, John Nicholas
Brown and Harold Brown. John Mich
olas Brown, reaching his majority in
1882, disclosed the same remarkable
abilities as collector that his father
had shown and was ably assisted by
his younger brother He determined
to establish the library permanently
as memorial TO his father, and after
his death in 1900 a will to that effect
was probated, assigning to two trus-
tees, one Of whom was his brother
Harold, the duty Of dispOslng of the
collection. The younger brother died
shortly after, and the trustees, who
finally decided to give the library in
trust to Brown university were G., w,
r. Mattes0n and Robert ii. 1. Goddard

dious building in which the library
is now housed was dedicated and
