Bratianu, Expecting
Death, Had Peasant
Make Pine Coffin
By the Associated Press.


BUCHAREST, Rumania, Novem-
Der 26.-The late Premier Bratianu
had premonition of death-so
strong that he had his coffin built
some time ago.
The premier directed a peasant
carpenter at his country home to
make a pine wood coffin for him,
giving the man precise measure
ments. On the premier's instruc
lions the peasant hid the coffin in
the belfry of the little church on
the country estate which Bratianu
himself had built.
This became known only yester-
day when, after a long search, the
coffin was found and shipped to
Bucharest.

Coliseum. A large section of the old
Ghetto. full of tangled narrow streets,
which has been one of the eye-sores
of modern Rome, has been torn down
during the past year in order to re-
lease the mangnificient playhouse
built by Caesar and Augustus.
In a labyrinth, reeking with pud-
dies, have been found several well
preserved Roman remains, such as a
portico Of the we'll of Octavus and a
number Of early medieval houses,
which will be left standing.
Thousands of tons of debris have
been removed from the theater, permit
ting entrance to several carefully con-
structed galleries as far as the stage.
The task of digging out the theater is
particularly difficult because of the de-
sire not to endanger the Savelli-
Orsini Palace which was constructed
upon it In the early part Of the fif-
teenth century and which is too rich
in artistic treasurers to be destroyed.
Work next year will be conducted on
the Circus MaXims, the Forum of
Olitorium and the ancient Curia, one
of the finest buildings in the neighbor.

RADIO FANS CONTRIBUTE
FOR CHICAGO SYMPHONY
Orchestra Saved From Financial
Difficulty Through Generosity
of Air Audience.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September 10-The Chi
cago Symphony Orchestra, faced with
dissolution because of salary differ
ences with its musicians, has been
saved by public subscriptions, with the
radio audience of the Middle West
leading the way.
When announcement was made that
the orchestra must disband unless
100000 was raised to pay increased
salaries asked by the musicians, the
proposition was placed before listeners
of radio stations WMAQ and WQJ.
Some of the infrequent broadcasts
of the orchestra had gone out over
the stations and the radio audience
was asked to show its appreciation
by contributing.
The money began to come in quickly
and virtually all of the necessary
$4,000 was raised in that fashion.
The radio fans money, added to con-
tributions made directly to the Sym
phony Association, was sufficient to
insure continuance of the orchestra.

declined to confirm or deny today
that the Rockefeller Foundation
had donated the fund of $4,000 900,
which has been offered from
America to build and endow a
Library for the League of Nations.
Officials said they preferred to
await definite acceptance of the
gift by the assembly before making
any announcement.
The impression prevailed in
League circles, however, that either
the Rockefeller Foundation itself,
or one or both of the Rockefellers,
had offered the gift.
No conditions are attached to the
donation, 1t Is stated, the League
being entirely free to decide what
proportion is to go to the construc.
tion of the building and what part
to the endowment. It is said that
the endowment, If accepted, will
be added to. and not substituted

may allot annually for the library.
