CHICAGO MAYOR
ENJOINED FROM
BURNING BOOKS

| CHICAGO, Oct. "a, tP-The fri
gate in which William Hale Thomp-
sen, mayor of Chicago has been
! sailing steady and smooth course
, to within firing distance" of pro-
English books in the Chicago pub
lie library today struck an unchart-
ed reef.
The mayors threat to seek out
and burn in huge lake front bon
fire every book in the library found
to have any passage savoring OF pro-
British propaganda, ran afoul OF two
petitions for injunctions. One was
filed by Edward j. Bohac, an attor-
ney, who alleged the threatened de-
struction was without parallel except
ing in ancient Alexandria, Constan-
tinople and other places where ir-
reparable injury and damage to civ
la1ation was wrought.
The other was filed by ]. Kentner
Elliott, also an attorney, who charged
that Mayor Thompson is attempting
to become a censor of the literature
which citizens and tax payers should
read.
The Bohac petition also asserted
that U. G. ("Sport'C Hermann, thea
tire owner and library commissioner,
former bill poster and state hand,
was wholly incompetent and without
knowledge to determine the charac-
ter of the books.
Hermann was called upon by May
or Thompson to sort out the dis
tasteful ones. The books were pub
lie property, paid for by taxation,
and their destruction would de-
prive him of obtaining the different
viewpoints on historical and other
data, Bohac petitioned and, since
the books have been in the library
for long time, no substantial in
jury would be done by enjoining
destruction of them.
Chief OF the library, Carl B. Ro-
den, today expressed wish the
books found Objectionable might be
sequestered but saved, but Hermann
said another city administration
might see fit to restore them to
circulation and to prevent that, they
should be burned.
Clarence DarroW, the lawyer, came
home from abroad today and i'm
mediately was interviewed about
Mayor Thompson's attack upon pro-
British books.
"Iow far does Mayor Thompson
propose to go?" he asked. when
he gets through with throwing out
English books, or rather books writ
ten with a bias toward England, he
can start with an endless cham
favoring France, Germany, even the
Turk, and any other country you
can name. In the end he will have
