An invocation was given by Rev.
James Anderson of this city, fol-
lowed by a hymn in which the audi
ence Joined. The Hon. John Knauf,
secretary of the board of trustees,
then addressed the audience.
He said: "More than a quarter
of a century ago it was my privilege
to perform the menial labor of driv-
ing a team which drew the first rock
that was laid in the northeast corner
of the old administration building
of this institution. After which it
was my privilege to enter as stu
dent within the classic walls Of the
first building of this institution, and
it was with much sadness that in af-
ter years we saw the building close,

ture with an economy that is rarely
found in the best corporations. All
this service. more than can be men-
toned here, has been unselfishly
given with no returns whatever, ne
glecting his own business that the
business of the college might sue
ceed. The president says:
II am overjoyed at this grand
mark of appreciation, and I am glad
that Mr.. Taber finally consented to
this change. He only yielded after
our combined request. He is fitting
ly honored and in this honor the
city Of jamestown is honored, in that
it has citizen so public spirited that
he has been willing to devote his
time and energy, and likewise mon
ey, in the building up of splendid
college of which all ought to be
proud. 1 appeal to all the citizens
now to show their respect by patro-
nizing this great college in their
midst"

tablished and which has been made
possible by those who believe in the
college and it's destined work in
these western states. The college
brings challenge of the Kingdom of
God, and it comes to prepare the
thoughts of the people for an appre-
citation and better understanding Of
the higher and nobler aspirations of
life.
The Privilege of the West.
The speaker declared that he had
never before realized the privilege
of living in the west. Born in the
east, he had somehow always enter
tanned faint idea that it would not
be we'll to live and breath the atmos-
phere of the American west. But a
short residence in this part of this
great country had changed his earli-
est fancies. He declared that in the
west there is the inspiration of new
life and hope. The western world
means much to men of middle age,
and to young men, and makes it i'm
possible for residents Of the great
west to live in the past. Not dispar-
aging the east, it is seen that in the
west lies the spirit of opportunity
and that here all look to the future.
In the procession of the great work.
ers for the uplift of the moral and
religious status of the west, James,

held at Sanford hall, where the grad
+uates were met and congratulated,
and where light refreshments were
served.
During the hour of the dedication
the city business houses were closed
at the request of the mayor. The
college campus was dotted with autos
that had brought many visitors from
the city to witness the laying of the
corner stone of the latest important
structure that will soon grace the
college campus.
Nature Smiled on Proceedings.
The scene at the dedication of the
new building was an inspiring one
and all nature smiled genially on the
proceedings. The view from the
platform of the new building was a
charming picture. From the crest of
the campus the city was seen enclosed

jamestown College may well believe
that this is joyful day for the board

tide of the progress of the school in
a material sense up to this time.
This building gives the college just
what it has so much needed, and the
noble impulse which prompted the
generous donor to equip this insti-
tuition with this splendid structure,
shall never be forgotten as the years
roll by. This gift challenges us to
buckle on our armour, trustees, fac
ulty, students and citizens, and make
this institution beacon light of
Christian education ina this great
commonwealth. Let us not fail in
doing all that lies within our power
to advance it's best interests in every
way, and if we do this we may be
sure that we shall build an institu-
ton of learning which shall develop

on it's committee to act in the reop-

Dedication Address.

A double quartette rendered Gou-
mods praise Ye the Father after
which the dedication address was
delivered by Rev. Henry G. Swear
ingen, D. D., of St. Paul. It was a
strong address, and reviewed the
great work being accomplished
throughout the country by the men
and women who give their time,
their life's efforts, and their means
to promote the cause of Christian
education; and in the ranks of this
educational service he predicted that
jamestown College would be found
a staunch and effective soldier in the
cause. DR.. Swearingen among other
things said:
This is not a jamestown institu-
ton, although the people Of this city
who have re-established the college
on an enduring foundation, may we'll
be proud of it's existence among
them. 1t is an institution that be-
longs to the state, to the northwest,
to the entire country. 1t is public
institution and there is honor enough
in the city having such a school To-
Gated within its boundaries. The
full tide Of blessings will come when
the credit which this institution will
bring to the state, and to the COM
munity, is realized jamestown Col
lege is an institution now firmly es-

The request came unexpectedly and

he declined to allow the change.
kilograms were exchanged with the
donor. The board of trustees re-
quested Mr.. Taber to allow this
change out of appreciation for the
wish of the donor, and their own
; sense of appropriateness. A letter
from the donor followed, and at last
Mr.. Taber consented, upon the under
standing that tablet shall be placed
in the vestibule with these words:
This building is named 'Taber Hall
by request of the donor"
The announcement of this change
at the laying of the corner stone, by
Secretary Knauf, was received with
great joy by the gathering, as it
marks a fitting tribute to the splen-
did selfsacrifice, unfailing devotion
and tireless work performed by Mr..
Taber in the upbuilding of the col
lege..
The president of the college stat
ed that no more appropriate thing
could have happened at this time
than this splendid reward for noble
service well done, so unexpected in
character and so we'll deserved. Mr..
Taber has spent about all his time
since the opening of the college in
material upbuilding of the school,

buildings which are now a credit to
the city and state and church, spend

Governor Sulzer's Prober Declares
They Sold Pardons and That Thaw
Was Their "Human Meal Ticket"
Albany, N. Y, Feb. 25. - Sweeping
charges that the state superintendent
of prisons and some of his sugordi-
mates have been engaged for some
time in profitable business of brok-
erage pardons," through which they
had planned to effect the re.ease Of
Harry K. Thaw and others, were made
before Governor Suffers inquiry COM
mittee.
The witness was William F. Clark,
former secretary of the committee,
whose name was mentioned last week
in connection with an alleged attempt
to free Thaw from the Malteawan hos
pital.
DR.. John w. Russell, superintendent
of that institution, testified that he
was offered $4,000 by New York
lawyer named Alhut, if he would re-
lease Thaw, but that he refused the
money. He said that Clark also had
approached him in Thaw's behalf.
Clark turned the tables by declaring
that Colonel Joseph F. Scott, superin-
tendent of state prisons, and his "im-
mediate undsrlings." including DR..
Russell, were engaged in a conspiracy
to involve Governor Sulzer, so that
they might be retained in Office and
continue the profitable business in
pardons which they had carried on
under Governor Dix"
Clark said that he learned Of the
Conspiracy" month ago. Immediate.
ly he informed Governor Sulzer that
he was in great danger
Governor SulZer told me to go
ahead and investigate" Clark contin-
ued. During my investigation learn
ed that in the early past of December
DR.. Russell sent for Harry Thaw and
asked him if he would like to get out.
Thaw naturally said he would like it
first rate. DR.. Russell said:
you've been making mistakes in
the way you have proceeded. Now I
will suggest lawyer for you and I'll
guarantee you'll be out OF this place
in very short time
"Thaw, acting on the advice of DR..
Russell, handed an agent of DR.. Rus
sell $4,000.
"Dr. Russell was to release Thaw
during the latter part OF December.
But getting $25,000 seemed to be SO
easy, he decided to make another
touch Howexera further payment
was not forthcoming and .fhaw was
not liberated.
"Dr. Russell told Thaw he could not
be released for at least six or eight
months and handed back $1,000 OF
the $25,0OO which they had received
originally"
Clark testified that he received his
with Thaw," and suggested that his
tale could be verified by subpoenaing
Thaw; H. A. Hoffman, of Poughkeep
sic, who he said was "Thaw's agent"
and by examining Thaw's bank ac-
counts.
This fellow Thaw," Clark volun
teered, "has been nothing more than
a human meal ticket for these people
down there"

learned he wa sabout to make report
