DIR. BUTLER IS SUED
BY PROFESSOR PECK

New York, Oct, 26.-The first person
to meet Nicholas Murray Butler, pres
ident of Columbia university, as he
touched Manhattan soil after a Euro
pean trip of several months was a
process server employed by Harry
Thurston Peck, the ousted Latin pro-
fessor. He handed DR.. Butler a sum-
mons to appear in a suit for $4,000
damage brought against him by the
former professor.
DR.. Peck's lawyers, Dennis & Bueh-
Ter, with offices at 140 Nassau street,
said that the suit is for SANDER against
the Latin teacher alleged to have been
uttered by President Butler after the
letters of Esther Quinn, the %stenogra-
pher who is suing DR.. Peck for breach
Of promise, were printed last spring.
The gloomy visaged individual with
an air of profound mystery and an
Adams apple shouldered his way
among those awaiting the first cabin
passengers embarking from the Kai-
ser Wilhelm II. at the Hoboken dock.
When he saw President Butler and
his wife and daughter come down the
gang plank the gloom cleared for a
moment, but the mystery deepened.
He followed the Buffers through all
the experiences of customs declara-
lions. He stood sourly by a pillar in
B section while Frank F~ackenthal,
Columbia's energetic secretary, looked
for his chiefs luggage.
DIR. Butler made no comment when
the Summons was served.
