 fund of s1.0o0.o0o is to be raised this year. according to Dr. E. E. Hag- Ter, chairman of the university com mittee. and It is planned to open the new institution in September, 1924.
 The ideals of the university will be Lincoln'S ideals, Senator Sherman said, and its founders hope to make it a self-help institution where any body who wants to learn, regardless of his bank account, can study night and day and Sunday, if he cannot come at other times.
 Honest Search For Truth.
 'In the classroom there Is to be an honest search for truth" he declared The final word has not yet been said on morals, politics and economics. A teacher may agitate against existing institutions as much as he likes, pro- vided only that he does not advocate reform by bloodshed and other forms of violence.
 When the country is at peace there is no part of our system which will not be the better for an ex- change of ideals and free criticism freely and sincerely given. We want to instill Individuality of thought and personality in the students"
 An example of the interpretation of Lincolnian ideals by his fellow towns men was evidenced at one of the meetings, attended by zee citizens, when someone proposed that the poll icy of the new university be to sup port the government against fits ene-

SPRINGFIELD, III, Sept. 7,-(By Associated Press.)--A univefsity for everybody, rich and poor, open day and night seven days week-this is the ideal before the incorporators of the Abraham Lincoln university now being founded by the citizens of Lfn- coln's home town.
 At meetings already held to further the idea of a national university for everybody, labor leaders and capital ists sat side by side Among the men aiding in fostering the Lincoln uni versity are former Senator Lawrence Y.

human and actually say something. It is the writer's opinion, too, that the advantages of church. going should be played up strongly. Of course. it is everyone's duty to go to church, and many folks realize 1t, but that doesn't make them go. Show them the advantages and pleasure of at- tending church and youll get more people actually interested than by using any other appeal Strong, hu man-interest copy regarding the church's attractions will interest the older folks and also the younger ones. It must be remembered that every ad in the paper including theatres and other places of amusement are com peting with the ads of the church. It is therefore obvious why the church's advertising must be unusual ly attractive to get the readers at tention.
 A beautiful pen-line reproduction of the church itself can be used to excellent advantage in every ad. In fact. a specially designed border in- cluding a picture of the church and hand lettered nameplate, is advisa- ble as 1t serves to standardize all the church's advertisements By re- taining the likeness of each previous ad. the following insertions natural ly acquire cumulative power that Is so essential in successful advertising. The picture of the edifice identifies the church too, and imme diately To- cates 1t In the minds of the readers. Church advertising of this class. when published regularly, Is quite likely to bring good results. The cost is mod crate, and in due time will prove the investment to be a profitable one.
 How will the church pay for its advertising? Why the same way 1t pays it's pastor, foreign missionaries, upkeep of the church and other neces- sary expenditures. As a matter of fact, the dividends from a good church advertising campaign soon liquidate the original investment and then help pay current expenses.

 "The form of our present govern ment is not the last word, 'Dr. flag Ter replied. "The American political institution must be elastic. We do not want to stand firmly for things as they are and deny the need of pro- gress."

 The ultimate hope of the founders is to make Abraham Lincoln uniNer- sity a national university, according to pr Hagler. but for the present the project and the finances of the pro- feet and the finances of the pro- posed school will be furthered and supported by Springfield citizens.

LAST SURVIVOR OFT GIG ALPINE EXPEDITION DIES
Death Of TangWaIder Recalls Matterhorn MiShap Of
 58 Years Ago

Zermatt, Sept T.-(By Associated Press )-The recent death of Peter Taugwalder has robbed Switzerland of it's most famous Alpine climber, and the last survivor of the party which climbed the Matterhorn for the first time 5S years ago. at the cost of six lives.
 Only three out of a total party of 10 returned to Zermatt after having made the first ascent of the previous ly unscaled Matterhorn These are Peter Taugwalder and his son and Edward Whymper; famous British Alpinist who organized the party. Whymper and the younger Taugwal- der have been dead. for many years, but Peter Taugwalder lived to make over 120< ascents of the mountain on which he miraculously escaped death when his seven companions plunged over a cliff to the Matterhorn glacier 1000 feet below.
 The body of Lord Douglas. who was among the Englishmen who were lost, was never found. and probably caught on a crag high on the noun tain side where 1t could not be seen Saved By snapping Rope.
 Edward whymper wrote a book abOut the traSedy Wnlcn occurred after the plucky climbers had been on the peak for an hour and had started on their downward trip. He and the two Taugwalders were saved by the snapping of rope which bound them to the other members of the party One of the British members of the party, who was next to the guide leading the way, slipped and knocked the leader over with such force that they dragged the other members of the party down with them. The weight and strainNon the rope became so great that in snapping it left three last members of the party safe on the mountainside, where they could see the bodies of their comrades on the glacier far below. For time the sur- vivors thought it would be impossible for them to continue the descent. They were unnerved by the accident. but finally aroused themselves to ac- tion and tied their ropes to rocks in such a manner that they were able to pass the dangerous stretches with a feeling of security.
 The victims of the tragedy were all buried in the Zermatt church yard, and Peter Taugwalder now lies with his companions.

BODY IS
NOT RECOVERED
Wide Search for Remains OF
John Koch, Who Was
Drowned
HIS PAL CALLED FOR AID
Unite in Effort to Find Body,
Which Was Swept Away
BY High Tides
HIS PAL CALLED FOR AID

CARTERET, July 30.-A wide
search for the body of eleven-year-
old John Koch. of Is Lefferts street.
this place is being made today along
the entire New Jersey coast with the
cooperation of the police and life
guard forces, following a vain and
unsuccessful effort by the police and
marine diggers of the borough to
find young Koch, who went under
with the suction of the waves while
bathing near the ferry slip On the
Old Radley dock saturday shortly
after 1 O'Clock.
Young Koch after eating his dim
ner at IL o'clock called his COM
panion, John Brechke, twelve years
old, to go bathing with him. They
reached the Radley dock a half
an hour later. The dark waves OF
the sound did not appeal to Brechke
SO he decided to sit and watch Koch
swim. He was in the water for
only several minutes, when the high
suction of the water outgoing with
the ferry running between here and
Staten Island swept him under it's
current and Koch vanished.
Brechke not seeing his pal come
afloat began to cry for help. He
a shouting for help to the ferry
workers to whom he told of the
plight of the young boy.
The mother of the drowned boy
was notified, but it was not until
about 1915 that the police learned
of the fatality. In no time a half
a dozen boats were engaged in
dredging the waters along the ferry
slip. Assisting the workmen were
Officers Freeman, Kovacs and Furi-
an. Roundsman Donovan was as
signed to be lookout along the shore.
For hours the work continued and
every effort was made to locate the
body. AS the day progressed Steve
Teribiski, stepfather of the boy
grieving ove the loss promised a
good reward for those who would
help to- find his body. The men
worked on but no trace could be
found.
Here Chief Harrington suggested
thai at 6 o'clock low tide prevailed.
When that hour reached men again
started to work, but still without
avail. Mayor Thomas j. Mulvihill
was called to the dock and follow
ing a talk with Chief Harrington a
suggestion hal the ground neal the
ferry slip be blasted with dynamite.
A man was hurried to the Armour
plant and the desired amount was
secured. Some ten shots of dynamite
were set off and the body was not
there. The mother of boy almost
Frustrated with three other chill
dren hanging around her watched
the dredging progress, but returned
home without her son..
The grief of the family aroused
Mayor Mulvihill. For several hours
yesterday he directed another search
which brought no results. Hope of
finding the body was then given up,
and it was believed by the workmen
that it must have floated away and
may be located in a few days along
the Jersey shore. Mayor Mulvihill
promised the family TO do all in lis
power to find the body. All the cities
along the shore were notified to be
on the lookout for the
