Portell's work fascinated the small audience. He used left thrust ef- fectiVely and hammered the Bridge porter turiously on the jaw. When ever Mason attempted to bore in. Portell smacked him vigorously and at times it seemed as if the boy from Bridgeport would go down un- der q fusllade of right hand blows.

see in them the outward manifesto ton of a spiritual reality. Unless our halls Of learning are real tenn pies which are to be approached by our youth in an attitude of rever- enco, consecrated by worship of the truth, they will all end up in a deu- sion. The information that is ac- qulred in them will simply provide a greater capacity for evil. Our in stltutions of learning must be dedi- cated to a higher purpose. The life of our nation must rise to a higher realm.
 There is something more in than a mere knowledge of science, mere acquisition of wealth, a mere striving for place and power Our colleges will fail in their duty to their students unless they are able 10 inspire them with a broader understanding of the spiritual mean Ing Of science, of literature, and Of the arts. Their graduates will go out into life poorly equipped to meet the problems of existence, to fall an easy prey to dissatisfaction and despair. Many of our older univer- sities were founded by pious hands at great sacrifice for the express purpose Of training men for the ministry to carry light to the peo- pie on the problems Of life. Unless our college graduates are inspired with these ideals, our colleges have failed in their most important func- tion and our people will be lacking in true culture. Abrah ham Lincoln. who was the most spiritual of our presidents, had a true appreciation of this principle"
 The president paid high tribute 70 the pioneering spirit that had de velopcd the state of South Dakota and the west generally.
 We cannot fail to stand in re- spectful admiration for q people whose courage and ability have been crowned with such remarkable &C., complishments," he said in speak ing of South Dakota, adding: But this is only typical of the growth and progress of Amorica.'

Indicted for Attempt to Commit Felony With Mayor DuYall

lndlanapollS, Sept. 10 tF) - From prison cell where the quondam Grand Dragon of the Indiana Ku kluX klan is serving a life sentence for murder the finger of political corruption has been pointed at h. diana's chief executive, at the mayor of Indianapolis and at two other prominent political figures of the state.
 Indictment Of Gov. Edward Jack son, Mayor John l.. Duvall. George V. Coffin, chairman of the Marion county Undianapols) republican committee, and Robert l. Marsh, formerly law partner Of the gov ernors. was the continuation of aa investigation started nearly year ago by D. c. Stephenson, the for mer high klansman, now in prison at Michigan City.
 Under the indictments. returned late yesterday by q Marion county grand jury, Gov. Jackson Coffin and Marsh are charged with con- spiracy to commit a felony and with attempted bribery. Mayor Du- wall was indicted under the corrupt practices act.
 Second Governor Charged
 Gov. Jackson is the second suc- cessive Indiana chief executive to face criminal charges. His prede- ccssor. Warren T. McCray was paroled only a few days ago from he for conspiracy to use the mails to defraud.
 McCrays name. too, figured prominently in the present charges. Gov, Jackson, Marsh. Coffin and stephenson are charged in the in- dictments with having offered the then Gov, McCray s10,000 if he would name James F.. Mcdonald prosecutor for Marion county.
 Jackson at the time was secre- tary of state and McCray was under indictment. The alleged brihe also was said 10 have included an offer of immunity from prosecution.
 The grand jury in it's report yes terday also charged efforts were made 10 intimidatc McCray so that he would not reveal an attempt had been made to bribe him. The threat of interference with plans for hi; parole from prison were held before McCray, the true bill said.
 Mayor Duvall was indicted on virtually the same charges as were contained in an affidavit filed against him by the prosecuting attorney several weeks ago, and on which he is scheduled 10 go to trial Monday.
 Stephenson Originator
 A note written in Stephensons s cell, and secreted out of the prison into the hands of Thomas II, Adams, mercial, started the series of inves- tlgations.
 One of the documents offered by Stephenson in support of his charges was a cancelled check for s2,500. from Stephenson to Gov. Jackson. which Stephenson stated was the first one-fourth payment on a s10,000 campaign contribution. Publication of q photograph of the check by an Indianapolis news paper was followed by a statement from Gov.
