Madrid, July 6. "There are thousands of priceless volumes in this building and I am going to protect them. If you want to set fire to the library; you shall only do so over my dead body." This was the ringing challenge of Dr. Bernard Malley, an Irish pro- fessor, as he faced, alone, a mob of rioters who had come to raze the. monastery during the revolution last year.
A day of homage has just been declared by Catholic and literary organizations in Madrid to Dr. Malley in appreciation of his cour- ago. By his single-handed de- fiance, the monastery-palace. built by Philip II a few miles outside Madrid, containing 40,000 volumes, was destruction.

Not a soldier or civil guard was in town when the mob of workers and rioters appeared at the monas- tery with supplies of fuel 'and. petrol. Mr. Malley, who was quiet. ly studying in the library, heard the tumult of their approach, grasped a huge stick, and went out to meet them.
With fiery vehemence, the in- dignant Irishman defended his books, haranguing the crowd, and brandishing his stick over the heads of the astonished leaders.
He won the argument and, after complimenting him on his courage, the crowd dispersed. Photographs of Dr. Malley, accompanied by the story of his career, are appearing in all the Madrid newspapers.
