SQUARED RING HISTORY
Corbett Beats Mitchell, First For
eign Invader to Challenge an
American Holder of the Heavy,
weight Title.
(Chapter EV.)

Sixteen, months after James J. Cor
bett won the heavyweight champion
ship of America from John L. Sulli-
van he added to his laurels by severe
ly beating Charles F. Mitchell, who
came over from England to challenge
the conqueror of peerless John L.
The fight took place at Jacksonyille
on January rs, 1894, and ended in the
third round.
There was much enmity between
the battlers, Corbett refusing to shake
hands with his opponent before the
fight began. His attack upon the Eng
lishman was mercfless one. and in
the third round he broke Mitchell s
nose with half swing blow.
His nose already lopsided Mitchell
came away from the ropes only to re-
ceive another crashing fist in the same
spot. The blood gushed freely and
on the next blow, Mitchell dropped to
the mat. He rose gamely, but as he
tottered from the ropes, Corbett
bounced upon him, once more crash
ing his swift right against the English
mans broken nose, sending Mitchell
down for a knockout.
Both the fighters were arrested as
soon as they left the ring, the state
charging them with having met by
previous arrangement and engaged in
a fight.

HONOR TO LINDLEY
New Chancellor of X. o.
Formally Installed in Office.
Gov. Henry Allen Chief Speaker
at Ceremonies.

Lawrence Kan, 7.-Dr. Ernest H.
Lindley was formally inaugurated here
today as chancellor of the University
of Kansas. The induction speech was
delivered by Gov. Henry J. Allen. Rep
resentatives from most of the leading
colleges and universities of the coun-
try were present at the inauguration
ceremonies.
A glimpse across the fifty-four years
of history of the University of Kansas,
wherein the institution has grown
from a small beginning to one of the
ranking state universities of the ma
ton, was given by former Chancellor
Frank Strong IN the opening address.
NDoctor Strong took up briefly the
work of each administration of the
university, including those of Cham
ceIlors oliver. Fraser, Lippincott, Mar
win, Acting Chancellor Spangler and
Strong. He pointed out a university
of the present with a faculty of go
members, an enrolment of over 4,0OO,
with more than 5000 graduates anu
buildings totalinG twenty-three.
In closing, Doctor Strong paid
high tribute to the new leader of the
university;
IKE university has had highly
honorable past. IL may p6 That l11OAS
have been notable achievements DUR
ing the past fifty-four years. we VIII
assume that this is true. Yet the past
is past and cannot be recalled The
past therefore must never lay deter
rent hands upon the future or seek IN
the slightst degree to mould the years
to come.
I'VE all hope that the past furnished
a broad and sound foundation upon
which to build. If so we shall be salts
fled. At any rate, we are confident
and happy in the confidence that the
new leader of the university will build
upon this foundation a larger and
nobler Institution than the past has
been able to achieve.
1--WE are happy in the belief that
our new chancellor has the vision, the
training and experience, the admin
istrative power, and the high, noble
purpose to make our university all
that its dearest friends could desire.
Indeed, this preliminary years events
have but added to the confidence
which his previous record inspired,
and when he comes in his turn to lay
down the badge of office. we have
faith to believe that he will leave a
greater, finer and a nobler univer-
sity, deeply enriched with the fruits
his labors."

lowing the decision of the Supreme
Court upholding the Ball act of the
District of Columbia. Mayor Broen-
ing has instructed the city solicitor
to draw up an ordinance along the

similar laws passed in other cities

The mayor understands the decision
to mean that states and municipalities

that will be absolutely effective in
stopping rent profiteering," as re-
ports had been received at the city
hall that rents are to be advanced

IMMIGRANTS ARE FREED
| AT Mr.. DAVIS Orders

NEW YORK. April 23.-Secretary
of Labor James ]. Davis today visit
ed Ellis Island as the first point in
his survey of the country's immigra :
tion service. He explained that he had
no cut and dried policy worked out.
but said the attitude to be followed
in handling the immigration ques-
tion would be simply to put heart in
the service.
After talking with a number of i'm
migrants held on the island, Mr.. Davis
gave personal orders releasing sew
eral persons whose cases justified
their entry into the country.
"Regarding Ellis Island" he said,
there is much more to praise than
to blame here. Much has been done
toward making this one of the best
immigration stations in the world
and Commissioner Wallis and his staff
are handling the local situation in
very commendable manner"
The Secretary will continue his in
vestigation of Ellis Island next week,
leaving then to visit other stations
on the Atlantic coast.
