Ellis, chairman. "“Taxes are Inot increased, repair work costs no more than last year or so and water rates are the same.

FOSTER JURY IS TIED AT SIX YOTES FOR EACH Those Demanding ‘Acquittal Refuse to Change and Vice Versa—No 'Plans for New Trial Yet, St. Joseph, Mich,, April 6, (By As- soclated Press).—Not oncé In 31 hours and 15 minutes of delibera- tion did the jurors in the trial of 'William Z. Foster of Chicago charged with the criminal syndicalism waver from the stand taken on their first hallot, voting each time six for ac- quittal and six for conviction from about ten o'clock Wednesday morn- ing until 6 o'clock yesterday after- noon when the jury was dismissed, hopelessly deadlocked. ADOPT NOVEL WAYS 10 PAY GHARGES Students in Universities Follow 0dd Occupations to Save Money Chicago, April 6.—The odd occu- pations followed by students at mid- western universitics to pay their way through school all the way from serving as state legislator to sleeping in undertaking establishments to save room rent. The stute leglslator is ILiverett A, Addington, of Indiana University, member of the house of representa- tives, He is blind, and to add to his income from the state he tunes planos. His home is at I'armland, Ind, The boys who have solved their room rent problem by working in un- dertaking establishments in return for quarters attend the University of Ne- braska. Too Numcrous to Mcntion Ordinary occupations, trades and avocations followed by thousands of students to help pay expenses are too numerous to enumerate Indiana Uni- versity alone reports 65 trades and employments, Some of the occupa- tions are unusual. At Kansas State Agricultural Col- lege a young man does housework and watches children while parents are absent. This institution has a de- tective whose occupation has been tracking cigarette bootleggers for the mayor of his town. Another boy there sells salad dressing, while a pair of boys hung out this sign: ‘“Dancing Lessons and Ford Repairs.” Budding Contractor A University of Nebraska boy took a contract to paint a house, and em- ployed student help to finish the job. Honor stands, where sweets are sold without attendants, are not uncom-| {mon. A boy &t Nebraska, operating| such stands, reported his nct profits | averaged 65 conts daily. At Wasghington University, St. Louis a student firm issues free blotter pads, making money out of the advertising thereon. The glving of blood for transfusion is a reguiar occupation of some University of Minnesota stu- dents. Marquett University reports one grave digger, and an athlete who | makes money as a dance hall bouncer. Indiana University, in addition to Mr. Addington, has two other blind students paying thelr way, a girl who crochets, and a boy who sells sand. wiches. At Purdue about 756 per cent of the men are helping to pay their own way, while many young women also work., Among the Purdue workers is a young night engineer whose only hours of sleep are from 4:00 p, m, to 9:30 p. m, yet he has a prospect of winning the highest honors for four years of scholarship. At Ohlo University students earn money for tuition in varlous ways. Some are official bearers of bodies at funerals, rome teach Hebrew on the side; and one leases a house and sub- lets the rooms. The Missourl legislature has under consideration a bill to appropriate $35,000 yearly for the employment of student labor. HARVARD MAN TO RUTIRE.
