NUMBER 309 TRANSFER IK ARE BUSIESTPEOPLE HOW Two Weeks' Work Comes With the Opening of the University. MANY ARE MOVING Several Families Are Leav ing Town While Others Move In. Columbia today has all the Tital characteristics of a great checker board where all the checker are Jumping wildly about without the slightest regard (or the rules of the game, if one only looks at the eltua tion from the point of view of the transfer man, who never In his life was busier. As if the usual rush that accom . panics the opening of a University se mester iere not enough to turn the transfer man's hair gray, a ware of moving of unprecedented volume has struck the year-'round residents of the city and they are clamoring dally for dates when they may expect the transfer truck at their service. That no definite dates for two weeks can be made Is fast becoming the stereo typed answer of the moving man. The head of one of the largest trans fer companies, when asked about the situation this afternoon, declared his men would be busy eighteen hours a day for the next two weeks whether they received another order during that time. Students' Baggage, Too. A considerable portion of the fur niture moving is being held up now , while the thousands of pieces of bag gage belonging to the students just arriving are occupying all the time that can be given them. There has never been a busier year in eitherj line or business, one transfer man said. Another said he was even too busy to stop and think about what he had to do. Because many leases on homes in the city expire on or near September 1. the difficulties of the present sit uation are many times multiplied. The number of families changing their residence at the present time Is 50 per cent, greater than ever before. It; was estimated today by iBajrtolikM:tc-, jmrfASrV" has' I'beeSTnleres-lennl MlumbfcTrealT estate for many years. This clrcum stance, he said, is due largely to the1. attractive offers being made for prop erty here. .Almost any home in the city Is an object of envy for real es tate dealers, alt of whom are trying frantically to Increase their rapidly changing lists of 'houses for sale. Many Move From Town. In apparent contradiction of this nftUAtinn. a larirpr mimW nf fmlltR than usual are reported moving from I The body arrived In Columbia this the city, and a 'majority of the trans-J morning. The, funeral services 'and ter companies reported they were 1 burial "IB take place af Bethel moving 60 per cent more families out Church, three miles northwest of Co ot town than are coming here to make lumbia. The Rev. Henry Cheavens their homes. They account for this "xituation by saying houses are not to be had, and the people are forced to leave. Although the great piles of baggage on the station platforms are constant ly assuming larger proportions, few notifications of delayed baggage de livery are being reported. If, how ever, you have a house full of furni ture to be moved, it will be necessary to wait perhaps two weeks though your order may be placed todays De lay in this line is causing many who would move now to serve their three meals In the library while the furni ture of their successor Is stored in the dining room. FRESHMAN RULES POSTED Student Senate WH Deal WItAU 1 lolators Must Wear Caps.

ARE FEW BIG SALES Movement Started to Organ' ize National Selling Agency. With wool finding a, slow market here at 20 to 25 cents a pound local growers are a discouraged lot. The woolJpool, formed a short time ago with some enthusiasm, baa broken more than once of late when some member has taken out his spring clip and sold It for. according to the growers, less than it cost to raise It The feeling that wool will be low- er before It is higher and that it will not be higher for some time is found and buyers are advising holders of wool to unload before the .storage charges of the wool -pool mount high er. Some time ago the local pool, which Is stored in a building at the corner of Seventh and Walnut streets, reach ed 10,000 pounds. Since that time several hundred pounds have been withdrawn and sold. J. A. Stewart, who was active in forming the pool. said that there was not much Interest In the pool and that many of he growers who w'ere expected to come in were keeping their clips at home. Although the price offered for wttol Is in many counties a bit higher than was offered a couple of weeks ago. there is no indication that the farm ers of Missouri are ready to sell their pooled wool. The State marketing bureau at Jefferson City reports the situation as unchanged In the last three weeks. Only one sale of any size has been reported and that was a sale of 40,000 pounds from the Northwest pool at St Joseph. In this case the 40,000 pounds sold from the 400,000 pounds held in the pool; were from the lower grades. The prices ranged from 17 cents to '39 cents. Offers as high as 45 cents for. the better grades were rejected.

CLASHES WITH REED Counter-Attack Includes the Charge of $10,000,000 Democratic Fund. By United PreM CHICAGO. Aug. 30. A vigorous counter-thrust at Governor James M. Cox. the Democratic candidate for President, and at tbe Democratic par ty for the methods which they are al leged to have used In raising cam paign funds, together with a denial of all the charges which Cox has made against the Republicans, was the re ply of Will H. Hays. Republican national chairman, when he testified today before the Kenyon Senate in vestigating committee which began Its sessions here today. Hays appeared as the first witness before the committee. He divided his testimony into two parts . The first was a flat denial of all the charges which Cox has made against the Re publican party. The second was com posed of a number of counter charges against the Democrats. He asserted that the liquor interests are backing Cox and Roosevelt and that they are exerting all the influ ence in their power to aid them. He atstrted that the Democrats have their machinery set for raising a $10,000,000 campaign fund. He did not charge that this machinery was operating but merely that it was ready to oegtn to function. He also asserted that the Demo crats In Washington have misused their authority there, that a great many officials have been forced to do and have done a great many things 'which they did not wish to do. He gave details on the fnnda am) tne committees of the Democratic par ty and said that he would disclose all. His detailed figures showed a fnnd of 34,079.000. He said that 33.079.000 of this was the burget of the national committee. The remaining million he said was to 'be raised in the several r states and that it 'was to be used In connection with the state organiza tions. That, he asserted, was not a part of the national budget. Hays clashed-repeatedly with Sen ator Reed of Missouri. It Is reported that Reed tried to keep out of the hearing a great many of the charges which Hays Is reported to have made. Reed also cross-examined Hays sev eral times before the committee. Senator - Kenyon announced that there would probably be night ses sions of the committee this week In order to carry out the hearing.
