"Three score years ago and ten ♦he univers'ty was chartered as ’an j institution of learning of the highest class' with the right, to establish ! therein ‘departments and colleges. | Soon thereafter the college of lib- 1 pral arts and sciences was established and sinre continuously has served its purpose. "How well it. has served its pur- j pose Is exemplified in the lives, which have enriched this community the more because in Butler college they were influenced by ‘the good, the truee and the beautiful.* •Those lives and those influences in an old-fashioned college of liberal arts and sciences have gone to make a tradition ‘of learning of the j highest class’ that is the most pre- j cious asset of the new Butler uni- i versity.” Woollpn recoognized as "inevitable”" the fact, that Butler "has felt the pressure of the demand for occupational and pre-professional j training." but he expressed the hope that, a liberal arts college always j will predominate at Butler.

Dr. Goodnight, delivered the bar- j calaureate sermon to the gradual- , ing class in the gymnasium Sunday j afternoon. -Men rather than laws preserve a government.*’ he said.

CHILDREN, 6 TO 17, HAVE OWN ART CLUB Famous Cape Cod Colony Develops Youths’ Artistic Sense. B’i United Press PROVINCETOWN. Mass.. June 11. —Provincetown children, ranging in age from 6 to 17, now have their own art club. Thus, this famous Cape Cod art colony is developing the interest of youth in artistic self-expression, perhaps with the hope that these primary efforts may awaken a latent spark of genius. The club, called the Junior Art Association, was founded by Mrs. Harold Haven Brown, wife of the director of the Provincetown Art Association, assisted by Arthur Cheney, ship model builder. “We are not trying to make artists,” Mrs. Brown explained. "Our first and only purpose is to provide entertainment for the children, let the instruction lead where it will.” GAMING RAIDS TAKE 21 Ivo Charged With Operation of Gambling Houses. John McMurray. Negro, was arrested at 626 North California street, on charges of keeping a gambling house, and eleven men and three women in the place were held on gambling charges today. Miss Marie Whitaker. 501 North East street, was arrested Sunday on gambling house charges. Five men were charged with gamins.

PEOPLE VS. U.S., IS LINEUP ON LIQUOR SLAYING Minnesota Town Resents Government Defense of Border Agent. BV ALLEN WAGNER Timrs Special Corrrspond*nt INTERNTIONAL FALLS, Minn.. Juner 17.—People of Minnesota verI sus the federal goveernment. That’s the way the case result- : ing from the shooting near here a : week ago of Henry Virkkula, by a federal customs patrolman who sought, hut did not find, liquor in bis car. will line up if officials of this town have their say about it. They say the defense of Patrolman Emmett White, who did the shooting, by Seymour Lowman, assistant secretary of treasury, is •‘unbelievable.' This is spurring them on in their fight to keep federal officials from changing White’s case from the state to the federal court. David Hurlburt, Koochiching county attorney, is in St, Paul today to confer with G. M. Youngqulst, Minnesota attorney-general. He will seek aid from the state a special prosecutor to assist him and advise on whether to convene a special sesssion of the county grand, jury to hear the seconddegree murder charges against White. Fears Case May "Grow Cold” No session of court is scheduled here until October and Hurlburt fears the affair "my grow cold" by then. In fact, he charges the government, which calls White’s action justified “wants it to grow' cold.” Preliminary hearings for White has been postponed from Monday to j July 2 on request of the government. ; Virtually everybody here is satis- ! fied that newspaper accounts of the Virkkula shooting are correct and that the facts have been “underestimated," as asserted by County Attorney Hurlburt, rather than colored," as claimed by Secretary Lowman. Sheriff Hugh Reid; who investigated the killing and helped the county coroner and county attorney line up witnesses for the coroner's inquest last week, said em- | phatically, “newspaper stories of the j affair have been correct.” Trying to Keep Jot "The evidence is such a-, to indicate Virkkula was trying to stop his car when slain by the customs patrolman, who apparently was trying to keep his month-old job, on which he was supporting a wife. “On what does Mr. Lowman base his statement that White was justified in shooting and that he has a perfect defense? “We've laid all our cards on the table; why doesn't Mr. Lowman? If we've passed up anybody who knows about this shooting, we’d like to know' it. But I don’t think we have. I agree with H .A. Roberts, who investigated the case for the treasury department, that the shooting was unjustifiable. “That’s the way many here look at the affair. They don’t blame White, a Duluth boy. who apparently has been a youth of high character all his life. “They point out that he is only 24: is married and was living in this city with his wife when the shooting occurred. His father is janitor of a hospital in Duluth, his old home town. “System Is at Fault." “It’s the system that’s at fault, the system is wrong in sending a boy like that out on to a highway with as dangerous a weapon as a shotgun." the sheriff continued. “White was working with E A. Servine, an older employe in the service, and fearing for his job. ’let him have it,’ as ordered by Servine. I “Virkkula was driving ten miles or less an hour when he approached the sign. 'Stop, customs officials,’ held by Servine on the lonely road

at midnight. This was testified to at the inquest by Servine himself. "When the car was found the gearshift was in neutral, indicating : Virkkula was trying to stop when : slain. “That the car was moving very ! slowly—in fact virtually was stopped when the shooting occurred—is proved by the fact that, although when its driver fell dead against his wife, his two children sat screaming in the rear seat, and the car | went down a four-foot ditch, it did not overturn. I “The Virkkulas did not and could not see that White, where he was hiding with his shotgun in the road leading off the highway into a farm yard, was in uniform. All the men had to indicate that they were officials were caps, objects hard to see at night and much harder to make out when run across suddenly on a dark road, and very late. “Mrs. Virkkula's testimony at the inquest was that neither she nor her husband, as far as she knows, heard anybody cry ‘halt.’ SCHOLARSHIPS GIVEN Mrs. Williams and Miss Scofield Win Awards.

Watson to be judge of the , middle district. Atterbury said his company lias j litigation pending all the time in the district, but that he thought Watj son would be “an eminently fair : judge.” The railroad president testified as to the extensive holdings of his road in the district.

Watson's name was first mentioned to him by Judge Maxie, said Atterbury. He went to Chief Justice Robert Van Moschzisker of the Pennsylvania supreme court, who attested to Watson’s legal competency for the post.
