STARTED FALL

limited Press Leased Wire Sc 81
STAMFORD, Conn.,, Marchs,-~6.-
Harry Thurston Peck, professor OF
Columbia University, and autho- OF re-
pute, committed suicide here today. He
shot himself.
Peck's suicide was the climax OF a
long train of difficulties which began
in June, 1910, when Miss Esther
Quinn, of Cambridge, Mass, sued the
professor for $5O,OOO for breach OF
promise of marriage alleging that he
had maintained improper relations
with her for months, although he was
married all the time.
At the time of the publication OF
Miss Quinn's suit against Peck, it
caused a great sensation in New York
and throughout educational circles the
country over and columns OF Miss
Quinn's sensational story were print
ed. This hurt Peck greatly. Miss
Quinn won her suit for $4,000 and
later another suit for 100000 for
libel. 1t marked the end of Peck's
prominence in educational circles.
In January, last year. Peck's trou-
bles grew worse. Pressed for pay
ment of Miss Quinn's claims, he found
himself unable to raise the money and
filed voluntary petition in bankrupt
cy in the United States district court
lin New York. He gave as his liabili
ties s16I SOC. .6s, unsecured and gave
as his only assets, contracts for royal.
ties on many publications which bore
his name.
Peck, who was professor of Latin
and semitic languages in Columbia,
quarreled with President Nicholas
Murray Butler after the Quinn affair
and shortly after was automatically
forced out of the faculty.
Previous to that time he had been
suspended from active connection
with the university and later threaten
ed suit against Butler for $4,000 for
damages to his character by false and
libelous statements. President Butler,
however was then in Europe and
Peck's suit against him lapsed.

Situation.

LONDON, March 23-The atten-
tion of all England was drawn today
toward the situation in the army
growing out of the refusal OF many
officers to serve in Ulster. The
threatened disruption Of the service
had for the time being all but over
s.ladowed the warlike preparations
being made to deal with the unionists
and the reports from Belfast of act1v-
tiles of Sir Edward G>> son. With
Field Marshal Sir John French pre-
siding, special meeting Of the army
council was held today. At the same
time the cabinet was called IN spec
ial session. The amazing spectacle
of the war Office negotiating, mas
thoroughly aroused the liberal press
which roundly scored the liberal
press for temporizing with liberal
officers. The News in an editorial
which is typical expression OF other
liberal papers, demands the dishon-
orable dismissal Of officers who refuse
to serve in Ulster and drastic re-
organization Of the army SO that it
may become the faithful democratic
instrument of democratic people.
i"It Is only because we allowed the
army to be officered almost exclusive
ily by the wealthy that the idea OF
bringing the army again into parlia-
ment could enter the heads OF
| Oligars," the News declares
THAT last and most reasonable re-
action must be taken from it,
Generals Paget, Cough and Parker
were in conference early today with
War Secretary Seely. The war sec
retary is scheduled to make state
ment before the house of commons
this afternoon and his report is anX-
iously awaited by the entire country.

countess of Derby but Will return
Thursday. This visit was originally
scheduled to have extended from

gagement of the king and queen to
visit the races has been cancelled.
| The fact that King George sum-
moned Premier Asquith. Colonel See

with which he views the develop

the king is deeply resented by the
liberals who declare it is furnishing
the unionists with political capital.

\. The Cry from Calumet.


cry Of red socialism by the Calumet
mine owners is merely pretext up
on which they are trying to justify
their opposition to employees joining
the Western Federation of Miners,
John Mitchell, mine labor leader, to-
day told the house Calumet strike
probers. Their opposition really is
against paying fair wages--not to
membership in the union Or in any
political party.
He declared the Calumet and Hecla
company had never raised the social
istic view until the federation enter
ed the field. They are bitterly oppos-
ed to the federation, Chairman Taylor
explained, because they say it's men,
bers are red socialists. They say
they want no union unless It's officers
are approved by them
Mitchell answered that mine com.
panies in general make such ex-
cuses or of a similar order to dodge
the union issue, and that the Calumet
owners had never objected to the So
cialist clubs in the peninsula.
Asked to draw comparison be-
tween the Butte field under Western
Federation control and the Calumet
field without established unionism,
Mitchell told the committee that the
living and wage conditions in Butte
are better than in Michigan.
