Harvard Board Refuses
To Discipline Author
Writer Of Freedom of Press
Is Upheld Despite Nu-
nlerous Protests
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

L
BOSTON, July 17-Professor Zacharia
Chafee jr., of the Harvard Law School.
VIII not be disciplined for writing his
book, Freedom of the Press, which was
published recently. The president and
fellows of the board of overseers of
Harvard have dismissed petition,
filed by Austin G. Fox, of New York City.
and other prominent attorneys, ali
Harvard graduates, asking disciplin-
AIRY measures for the author.
tempest now is brewing in the
town of Brookline, where the trustees
OF the public libary have barred Pro-
lessor Chafee's book from the library.
Prominent residents of Brookline are
reported to have instituted action to
recall the trustees.
In the petition against Professor
Chatee the petitioners indirectly
scored several prominent Harvard men
Tor alleged "parlor Bolshevism." Among
those named in the sharp criticisms IF
the New York attorneys are Roscoe
Pound, Felix Frankfurter, Francis B.
Sayre (ex-President Wilson'S son-in-
law and Edward B. Adams, librarian
of the Harvard Law School.
The refusal of the authorities to take
action against Professor Chafee is ex-
rccted to split Harvard graduates.
Some maintain that radicalism is
rampant in the Harvard Law School and
another faction supports Chafee.

Bedtime Stories
Peter Rabbit Goes to the Smiling Pool
BY Thornton W. Burgess

continued to be envious and discon-
| tented.
Late that afternoon, just as it was
about time for the Black Shadows to
come creeping out from the Purple
Hills and the air had cooled wee
bit, Peter decided to run over to
the Smiling Pool. 1t would be cool
ing just to look at the water and to
hear the gurgling of the Laughing
Brook. Besides, it was long time
since he had been over there and he
wanted to know what had been go
ing on there.
So Peter scampered, lipperty-lip-
perty-lip, over to the Smiling Pool
AS he drew near he could hear Grand
father Frogs deep voice leading the
chug- arum, chug-arum." 1t was clear
that Grandfather Frog was happy and
entirely satisfied with things as they
were. 1t was clear that he hadn't
minded the heat at all that day.
Presently Peter was where he could
see the shore of the Smiling Pool,
and something moving caught his
eyes. He stopped and sat up to look,
for sitting up he could see better
What he saw was very tall bird,
a bird with a very long neck and
very long legs. That long neck was
stretched up its full length, and Peter
knew it's owner was looking at some
thing. Then that long neck was fold
ed back until the head, with its long,
straight, sharp bill, rested between
the shoulders. The owner evidently
was satisfied with what he had seen.
Peter knew who it was. Of course.
1t was Longlegs the Great Blue
Heron.
Peter was Just going to start on
when Longlegs took careful step
and again stood motionless. Peter
was just losing patience when
Longlegs did it over again. Long
legs is hunting his dinner" thought
Peter. 81 wonder whom he is after? ?"
Suddenly Peter guessed. Longlegs
was slowly stealing toward that part
of the Smiling Pool where Grand
father Frog was at that very minute
leading the Frog chorus.

distance from the coast was covered in
lew minutes under 100 hours.
Coming over the Sierras the baby
orang-utan caught cold, and every night
thereafter Mrs. Ditmars was up until
a in the morning fondling him and
singing him to sleep. BY the time AL
bany was reached, however, he had re-
covered sufficient interest in life to
pull the bell rope to stop the Limited
when it was racing across the country
seventy miles an hour to make up time
This exploit did not meet with the un-
qualified approval Of the conductor.
Night Lemur Ostracized
The night lemur, belonging to the
lowest order of monkey, was ostracized
by his more distinguished companions.
The pythons took no nourishment on
the trip, having enjoyed an excellent
meal two months ago Of three thirty
pound pigs sent by King George as a
who captured the snakes unexpectedly
while he was out tiger hunting. Their
feast occurred on the night Of their
capture, when they smashed their teak
wood cages to bits and set out on q NEST
successful foraging expedition.
Mr.. Ditmars said at the station that
they were without doubt the largest
snakes ever brought to this country
One rock python, is Is feet long,
weighs ITS pounds, and has head as
large as collie's. The other, of the
royal variety, is % feet long. The
curator opened their cage once during
the trip to water them and show them
to some of the other passengers. The
larger raised his head eight feet in the
air and gazed about him angrly. No
one but Mr.. Ditmars, however, had
time to see the head rise more than
foot.
The larger orang-outang is considered
a very fine specimen, and the night
lemur and the squirrels, which are red,
black and white striped, are both rare
Javan fauna.

Record Snakes, ~ TT. Of En-,
.Arriue on Ertrn-Fnre Train
Two Pythons, Largest in Captivity, Orang Outangs,
Squirrels and Night Lemur for Zoo Are Brought
from Coast in Luxurious and Speediest Style

Among the impatient, comfort-loving
passengers who arrived on the New
YORK Central's crack Lake Shore
Liinlted yesterday afternoon were two
pyIhons, two orang-utans, six squirrels
and q night lemur. Before the war the
nearest they could have come to the
luxury OF modern travel would have
been side door Pullman, but these are
days OF social confusion when no snob
can feel safe, even at the most exclu-
slve noteis or on the fastest Of extra
fare trains.
The travellers were met at the sta
ton by an assemblage of public.
SPIRITED citizens and most of reporters
and photographers. Automobiles were
IN waiting to carry them to the Bronx
zoo, where they will remain Indefinite
~ as guests of the city.
Monkeys Fastidious About Food
On the train the orang-utans showed
few signs of their parvenu status.
They breakfasted fastidiously on fruit
and cereal, refusing all heavy food,
and spent the morning in fluent and
genial conversation with the baggage
master When the newsboy went
through without offering them his
wares they reminded him of his dis
courtesy by throwing all his papers
overheard except one for their own
instruction.
For lunch they ate rice, the national
dish of their native India, pouring on
a little milk and eating it with spoon
as a gentleman should. 1t was not
until 5 o'clock, when they learned that
the train was an hour late, that the
larger of them forgot his manners,
threw the door of his crate at his
nearest fellow traveller and chased him
madly around the car.
The smaller, twenty pound yearl-
ing, occupied the same hotel room in
San Francisco with Mr.. Ditmars, cura-
tor of the Bronx Zoo, and Mrs. Dit
mars. The trip to Chicago was accom-
plished on the Overland Limited, the
fastest daily train in the West, and the

Captain Marcantelli, master Of the
steamship Providence of the Fabre
Line, in yesterday from Mediterranean
ports, said that he had found an eff
fective method for Kidding the vessel
Of stowaways.
When the ship left Marseilles on
her way tc Naples during the trip
which ended yesterday, he was in
formed that twenty stowaways had
hidden aboard the vessel. He sent
ms officers and sailormen. through
the ship examining all pockets and
crannies that would harbor stow
away, but the search revealed nothing.
Before the ship got to Naples he
thought of a scheme for getting the
hidden, unbidden and non-paying trav
elers, for he did not want to take
them with him to the United States.
After anchoring off Naples he again
sent his men through the dark recesses
Italian that the ship was about to be
fumigated and that all persons had
better go up on deck before the matches
wero battened. The sailormen also
shouted warning that the deadly
gases to be generated in the ships hold
would kill every living thing on the
ship.
The Trick Works
The trick worked. Everybody came
up on deck, including the stowaways,
and when the count was made of the
passengers, it was found that thirty-
five stowaways had emerged.
Among the saloon passengers on the
Providence was H. w. Major, of Chi
cagc, representative of the Red
Cross, who was stationed at the Rus
sian border in the societys fight
against typhus. He said that 90 per
cent of the Russians coming out of
Soviet Russia expressed strong con-
domination and disgust with Soviet
rule.
Among others on the vessel were the
Baroness Katharine Won Klenner, for
merly Miss Katharine Evans, and Mon
signor Bernard j. Mahoney, of the
American College in Rome, who is on
his way home in Albany on a vacation.
The American liner Mongolia came
IN from Hamburg with small passen-
gel, complement, carrying only 81 cabin
and 100 thlrd-class passengers. The
limited number was due to the restric-
ton on westbound alien passenger traf-
fc under the new immigration laws
Nearly all of the third class was
made up of immigrants from Czecho-
Slovakia, who have come here to settle
IN the farming districts. Among them
were many women and grown sons and
daughters accustomed to farm life.
They were all exceptionally we'll
groomed and their clothing was of
quality far above that of the average
third class traveller.
The few cabin passengers detained
by the immigration officials on the
French Liner Rochambeau on Satur-
day were all released late on the day
of their arrival.

Peter Rabbit.

1t was hot. Even in the dear Old
Briar-patch it was hot despite the
shade from the bushes and friendly
brambles. Peter Rabbit isn't fond Of
water, as you know, but for once he
almost wished that he was. He
thought of Billy Mink and Jerry
Muskrat and Little Joe Otter and
Spotty the Turtle and Grandfather
Frog, ali of whom loved to spend
much Of their time in the water.
He thought Of all of them, and some
thing very like envy crept into
Peters heart.
"Hot weather doesn't make much
difference to them," painted Peter.
"No matter how hot 1t is they can
keep cool. l don't see why Old

seems to me this is the hottest day
ever. / don't like it. I'll be getting
q sunstroke or something like that.
Why don't the Merry Little Breezes
chase up some clouds 2" Peter was
getting fretful.
He was wise enough to go down
in his underground house after
while. You know it was an old house
Johnny Chuck's grandfather had dug
in the middle of the Old Briar-patch
Icing ago. Peter and Mrs. Peter found
it very handy once in while: Peter
had never fixed it up any because
he was too lazy. He never does any
work that isn't necessary, and he
hadn't considered it necessary to fix
up that old house. So long as he
could get in and out and the roof
didn't fall in he was satisfied.
Now Peter found that old house
fairly cool, and he ought to have been
contented. But he wasn't. He kept
thinking that Grandfather Frog and
Jerry Muskrat and the others in the
Smiling Pool were even more COM
Portable than he And while they were
comfortable they didn't have to stay
down underground. where they could
see and know nothing of what was
going on about them. And SO Peter

General Dawes'
Music on The
Victrola
Played by
Fritz Kreiisler

1t is new R e d S cal
record, the "Melody in A
Major" a composition for
the violin, played by Kreis-
Ter, to the piano accompani-
ment of Carl Lamson, and
written by tn 1t vigorous
soldier and executive, Cen
eral Charles G. Dawes, now
connected with the National
Government in the capacity
of Director Of the Budget.
Perhaps the finest tribute
to this piece of music has
been rendered by Kreisler
himself-for he first played
it for it's pure musical beauty
unaware even that it's COM
poser was an American. 1t
has a slow, rocking, haunt
ing rhythm, almost an ideal
berceuse, with phrases joined
by o d d little tendrils o f
melody.

composition played. 1t is
one of many fine pieces in
cluded in the July release of
