began a campaign against the grafters
by publishing a signed and sworn con
fession by Representative White.
White swore that he had been paid

for senator. He told also of tho divis
ion ot a "jack-pot" among several Ill
inois legislators at the Southern Hotel
in St. Louis.
Politicians throughout the state are
Intensely excited over the develop
ments in the Lorimer bribery charges.
Several additional arrests are expected
in Springfield tonight.
Tho Chicago Tribune tomorrow will
say: "If a rat squeaking in the trap
into which its greed has led it can be
pitiful, then Senator Lorimer was pit
iful yesterday in Washington."

FINAL ACTION TAKEN.
Advisory Committe of the
Association Settled tlie
Controversy Friday.
Y. M. C. A. building or Student bulldf
i'lK?
That question no longer is to be a
subject or discussion. It is the Y. M.
C. A. building and so it is to be called;
Thoso who contributed toward tho
erection of the structure, under the
impression that they were giving
money for a 'Student building," may
have tho amount they gave returned
to them merely Tor the asking. All
this was decided at a meeting of the
advisory committee or tho Y. M. C. A.
Friday afternoon. This statement sign
ed by II. S. Philhrick, secretary, was
given out, alter the meeting:
"The present advisory committee Of
the Y. M. C. A. finds itselt facing the
following situation which it did not
create, but with which it has to deal
"On the one hand during nineteen'
years, an amount in the neighborhood
of ?r,.",000 was contributed for a Y. M.
C. A. building, and on tho other hand'
as a result ot a campaign largely In
BlOt and 1U0.", an amount in the neigh
borhood ot' ?1,500 was contributed for
a "Student building." The committee
is unable to find any practical way by
which the pledges implied In those
two conflicting purposes can be recon
ciled, consequently the most practi
cal plan or settling the difficulty seema
to the committee to be the reimburse
ment of thoso contributing to the,
"Student building."
"This has already been done in the
caso of certain Individuals, and the
committee takes this opportunity of
asking those who contributed to the
"Student building" fund to so Inform
B. F. Hoffman, chairman of the ad
visory committee, at the earliest op
portunity. "After reasonable investigation, pay
ment will be made in the order of pri
ority of presentation, as rapidly aa
funds for that purpose can be secured
by the committee. In taking thla
action tho committee desires to call
attention to the fact that the aim of
the Y. M. C. A. is to benefit the men
or the University. All men In the
University, whether members of tha
association or not, are welcome to the
reading and reception rooms and to
tlie benefit of the employment bureau!
The club rooms are held free of all
charges as meeting places for student
organizations.
"Associate membership in the Y. M.
C. A., is without religious qualifica
tions, and entitles tho student to all
the privileges of the building."
TWO FACTORIES MAY COME
Commercial Club is Corresponding
Now With Two Firms.
The Columbia Commercial Club Is ta
correspondence with two manufac
turing concerns which aro considering
Columbia as a location for their fac
tories. One firm manufactures pure
copper cable lightning rods and the

Tho lightning rod factory is at pres
ent in another Missouri town and the
manufacturer of the manure spreaders
is in Ohio. Both say that they ars
going to move soon and that if they
come to Columbia they will remain
hero permanently. They have prom
ised to send definite information Boon
as to their capacity number of men
employed, and what they required aa
inducements to locate here.
The Ohio man is at present employ
ed in the factory of a farm machinery
manufacturer. He ha3 Invented an
improved manure spreader and will
