Employment Bureau Organized Which
ENSURES Work 20 Applicants.


Columbia, Mo-: The Young Mems
Christian Association OF Missouri Uni.
versity has completed all arrange
Hnents for a student employment bu-
reau, TO be opened with the opening
OF school, September 8, which will give
work to applicants at Is cents per
hour. This Is 5 cents more than the
amount given in any previous year and
will solve the problem Of an education
for hundreds of students during the
summer. Letters have been received
here as to employment for students
wishing to work their way through
school, and the managers Of the bu-
reau are making unusual efforts TO &C
.commodate the applicants.
The last general assembly appropri-
ated $4,000 to aid the bureau for the
next two years, $500 to be used an
uuaiIy. It is estimated that at least
so per cent of the students get through
school partly through their own ef-
forts, and many depend entirely upon
employment. It was officially an.
nounced at the bureau Saturday that
the rates per hour will be raised from
10 cents to Is cents, and this will en-
able INDECENT students to make enough
money to pay expenses and board at
the clubs by only a few hours work
daily, before or after the regular school
lhours.
Much of the work will be done at
the state agricultural farm and on the
horticultural grounds, which afford
daily employment to hundreds during
both the fall and winter terms. The
erection Of two buildings at the uni
versity and other improvements in Co
Iumbia has created a demand for work
ers Of all kinds, never before equaled
here.

SIGNS NEW BANKRUPTCY LAW,
President Approves Bill, Changing
LEGAL Status of Debtors.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The president
yesterday signed the bill which
amends the bankruptcy law of 1898.
The bill moG iies the existing law in
several important particulars, the
most important one of which is pro
vision in connection with the pre-
ferred creditors Under the existing
law those who had received payments
from a person who had soon 2
ward been declared bankrupt,
not have other claims passed
without surrendering the amour
This provision was modified so as Ii
allow the creditors to retain the
money received unless the previous
payment was fraudulent This change
is in conformity with decision of the
supreme court. Another amendment
provides four new objections to dis
charge intended to prevent persons
from going through bankruptcy, the
most important of which are the CIV
ing of false mercantile statement
and the making of fraudulent trans
fer of property. The bill also pro-
vides that it shall be an objection to
discharge if voluntary bankrupt
seeks to go through bankruptcy more
than once in six years.

ADD|CkS OUT OF IA[ RAGE
Ceases to Be Candidate for
Delaware Seat in Senate.
AsANDoNs FIGHT FOR, roeA.
Withdraws in Interest of Party Har-
mony-caucus to Be Held to Select
Nominees and Thus Raise Seven
Years Deadlock. n

Dover Del, Feb. 6.-The sudden an
nouncement yesterday afternoon that
]. Edward Addicks had withdrawn
from the candidacy for United States
senator, which he has urged so persist
emily since 1885, created sensation.
The belief is that the refusal of the
United States senate to confirm United
States District Attorney William
Byrne had the effect of bringing about
the withdrawal Union Republicans
choice for senator in place of Addicks
will probably be Governor HUM or
Secretary of State Layton. State SEN
ator Alice, the Addicks leader, has re-
accept the United States senatorship.
Mr.. Addicks arrived here from Will
minston about o'clock. going direct
to the capitol He was ushered into
the parlor of the state house, where
all of the twentv-one Union Republic
an members of the legislature We're as
sembled to meet him. The assembly
men received Mr.. Addicks with cheers
and he appeared deeply moved by
the heartiness of the greeting I'm
mediately after Mr.. Addicks arrived,
Governor John Hum, who is called
the peacemaker in Delaware politics,
entered the parlor. After the parlors
had been closed those outside heard
frequent bursts of applause and the
rumor became general around the
capitol that Mr. Addicks was about to
withdraw from the most remarkable
political fight In the history of this
country, fight which has deadlocked
three sessions q the legislature and
split the Republican party into fac
tions. This rl1nlor was confirmed after
the caucus adjourned. when Mr.. AG-
dicks issued statement. saving that
he withdrew in the interest of the
election Of two Republican senators.
The withdrawal OF Addicks leaves
the senatorial muadle in peculiar po-
sition. Ii the regular Republicans do
not accept the proposition of the twer-
ty-one Union Republicans for a. gen
eral Republican caucus, then Addicks
again becomes candidate If they
do accept it. is believed they will have
no chance to name senator frou
their own faction, for the reason that
the Addicks Republicans will enforce
the unit rule, claiming the right of
the majority to select the caucus NOM
inees. Meantime the Democrats. ea-
ger to defeat Addicks, may induce
the regulars to accept the proposition
to support two men selected by the
regulars.
