which to purchase four and a quarter acres

claimed that Its construction would ruin his

that the city would be required to pay a
large sum as Indemnity. He stated, how
ever, that If the city would build the dam
below his "bar" it would help his basinets
nr.d he would rot ask any money at all for
the easement. The lard did not arrive at
any conclusion in the matter.

THE HIGH-SCHOOL BOYS
KARL CAIITWUIGHT. OF POIITLAM),
took: rinsT oiiatoicical. honoiij.
Fletcher WAjrner, of Thl City, a Sec.
oiul, Whom Many Thought
Was Flrat.
Karl Reed Cartwright. of Portland, won
tho third annual contest of the Indiana High
School Oratorical Association held last
night at English's Opera House. Fletcher
II. Wagner, of this city, was awarded sec
ond place. Griffith P. Fllis, of Richmond,
took third honors. High school students
presumably not having so much dignity to
maintain as young men and young women
who are In college and Greek letter socle
tie?, the uproar at the theater last night
was far superior In quality and quantity to
that which accompanied the college ora
torical contest a few months ago, superior
In quality because the 3-elIs were less in
telligible than those of the college students.
The trouble began early as soon as the
doorkeeper of the theater let a, bunch of
students in and at 7:20 o'clock the main
floor was crowded with a heaving mass of
hat?, - cane?, ribbons, banners and handker-
chlfs, from under which there rose a steady
roar. The men who stood at the back of
the theater and grinned at the turmoil also
told each other that there was a remarkable
number of pretty youne girls in pretty
gowns present. There were several flaring
megaphones In the crowd, from which Issued
heavy bawls from the lusty throats at the
small ends. The delegation from each
school wag headed by a leader, who con
ducted the yelling with more emphatic than
graceful waving of a cane. Over all de
scevioed an imitation snowstorm generated
In the galleries, by boys tearing up their
programmes and dropping the pieces over
the railings.
Rev. G. L. Mackintosh pronounced the In
vocation and Fletcher B. Wagner was the
first speaker. He was welcomed to the
front of the stage by a storm of applause
that drowned all the rival factions' yells.
His subject was "The Strength of Rome."
When he had finished, the general senti
ment of the audience seemed to be that he
was the winner, without waiting for the
rest of the speakers' efforts. Ilia thoughts.
particularly, were complimented. No nation
falls, he said, but that it leaves Its mark
on history. Tho Romans were not artists,
but fighters. The children played with
wooden shields and swords. Mothers taught
their sons that it was noble to die for their
country; fathers killed their sons if they
showed a tinge of cowardice. "Children of
Mars," the Romans called themselves. lie
detailed the causes of the fall of Rome and
pointed out that its art and literature were
preserved to forever Influence the art and
literature of the woild. In the next cen
tury, ho proclaimed, there were many po
litical problems to be solved. Would Ameri
ca prove itself a second Rome, with its vir
tues and without its faults? "The strength
of Rome is in our sinews and Its spirit in
our hearts," he said. He speke with strength
and clear enunciation. His every word was
heard at the back of the theater.
Karl II. Doty, of South Bend, hnd as his
Hubiect "Conviction Is Power." Conviction
was greater than truth, he said. It was like
a stream, not stubborn, but going around
those obstacles that it could not surmount
and always reaching its goal. A man with
conviction misht be arrested by death, but
ttio truths of his mind would Inspire his
persecutors after he was gone. Conviction
was a michty monument to God s greatness

plauded. He is a student at the High School
of this city. "The Soldier" took the? atten
tion of Claud Cllne. of Huntington, He
described the Roman soldier in his armor,
standing firm until death, without thought
of wavering. But as Rome grew wealthier
and wiser, the soldiers lost their valor
Along this lino he pursued a discussion of
the military institution.
TUB WINNING ORATOR.
Earl Reed Cartwright, the hero of the con
test, because h was given the victory by
the judges, told of the struggle of John
Brown, whom he called "The Hero of C0,"
to tet free the slaves. He told of the gath
ering of his little band of comrades, their
capture of the armory on the Potomac and
the surprise of tho. townspeople when they
awoke and were told that a handful of men
was trying to overthrow the whole Repub
lie. Brown's defeat and death he discussed
and paid him the eulogy that has been paid
him in sehoolhouse and out for years.
Griffith P. Kills, tho third prize winner,
discussed 'Prine Bismarck." He related
the story of the life of the iron Chancellor
from his early manhood to h s final triumnh.
He paid him the tribute of being the unifier
or ticrmany and the savior of his father
land. His strength. Renins and patriotism
all had attention from the silver tongue of
the orator, and he was ranked high by tho
audience, judging from the applause.

ing their decision, but in the meantime the
Indianapolis High-school Gle Club enter
tained the Impatient audience.' The same
s.chofil s mandolin club had won the ap
plause of the crowd a few minutes before.
In the rear of the theater had gathered a
bunch of Training-school students, who
were alleging in loud voices that the hih
school "was in the wilderness." The Train
ing School is not a member of the oratorical
association. When the decision was given
there was no riot. Sergeant Schwab kept
the boys off the stage and the greater part
of tho crowd hurried to the High t-hool
whore a reception was given and enthusiasm
fizzed until u late hour.
Incidental !otes.
In the crowd that came to Indianapolis
from the "provinces" to attend the con
test were several boys who were caught up
by tho glamour of being In the capital of
the State and who hardly touched ground
until time to go home. Some of them found
that there were places 'in the city
where they could buy beer. "I'm
about half shot now," one of them
said as he posed against a pillar in a
hotel lobby. He wore a pearl hat and a
grtfii puff tie. A coterie of these boys be
came conical during the oratorical contest
and wbt n they ..delKntd to listen to tho
speeches at all, it was with curling lips and
satcaatic tddo remarks. They wished they
didn't, have to go back homo so soon.
A pretty little girl with a gray cloak and
hood attracted the attention of the crowd
as it p t.:ed out of the theater, by declaim
ing to an assemblage of girls about her that
u was an outrage that the decision was
given the way it was. Mr. Kllis should have
11 ad the victory, and would have, had the
judges been men of ordinarv intelligence,
she stamped her foot in Indignation.
Persons Interested In great educational
ruovements wore impressed with the power
of the "yell" as a factor in modern culture.

over th i college I was remarked ane'l It

A young person in "short pants" and with
a cane which overtopped him stood In front
of Knglish's cafe last evening as tho clans'
gathered. The long ribbons on his e-ane
were draped over him and as in a blae
manner be scrutinized the monument and
the surrounding buildings he pulhd on a
long black cigar. An interested one aw
him throw the cigar away before it was
half finished and go Into the hotel for a
drink of water.
The friends of Fletcher Wagner were
"wrought up" over hi not being chosen the
winner. They learned that he was set
above the others as to comiositiou. but one
of the Judges marked him so far down that
it reduced his average to second place. It
was remarked by the crowd that h was
much younger looking than Ids competitors.

A HlKli-ehool Reception.
Yesterday afternoon there was an Informal
reception at High School hall, when the
members of tho Oratorical Association and
their mothers received the members of the
visiting schools and entertained them be-
twetn train and supper time. There was no
special attempt at decoration. The poster
collection was displayed in the halls, there
were numerous Japanese lanterns hung ev
erywhere and Hags draped the walls. On the
blackboards were the names' of the contest
ants and the places from whicli they hail.

the young people danced in the hall. Among
the guests were Ktj from Richmond. rrom
Huntington and several from Portlantl.
There were red ribbons, blue and white rib
bons, purple ribbons and one school had
blue, gold and white ribbons. The young
people from the city High School carried
blue or white nags with the letters I. H. S.
in the contrasting color. The teachers of
the High School. Mrs. Hufford, Miss Platter,
Miss s lleck. Miss Rankin and others assist

Western Intercollegiate Association.
CHICAGO, March CI. The Western Inter
collegiate Association was saved from dis
organization to-night. Representatives from
the Western colleges, comprising the gradu
ate executive board, met and effected a re
organization of the graduate board. Chicago
and Michigan were both represented. Oth
ers representee! were Lake Forest. North
western, Wisconsin. Grinnell, Turdue. Drake
and Knox. Invitations were sent to the Uni
versities of Illinois, Michigan and Chicago
to take part in the association affairs, be
cause their reinstatement did not include
membership In the association, ns was gen
erally supposed. Tho reinstatement was
simply In regard to athletics, the expulsion
from the association barring them from
open competition. The three schools will be
formally taken back in June, but their par
ticipation up to that time will be only upon
Invitation.
PERFECTING MOTOR VEHICLES
Indiana Bicycle Company's Test of
One for 14 ltliode Inland Firm.
The Indiana Bicycle Company has just
completeel the first two of a number of
motor vehicles of new design. The largest
of these was given a trial trip this week
and demonstrated that the problem of cov
ering longer distances has been solved. The
carriage has been constructed for a Provi
dence, R. I., department store and on the
trial trip ran 51 6-10 miles without replenish
ing the battery, and still had considerable
life left in it. Up to this time no electric
vehicle had shown more than thiity-ilvo
miles on a single charge, while the average
radius of action has been about twenty-five
miles.
The builders claim that when the vehicle
has been broken Into service and has lost
its stiffness it will be capable of running
not less than sixty-live miles and possibly
more than seventy:
When the trial was made tbe wagon was
now and stiff, the joints full of varnish and
in this condition went ever the viaduct anil
through the tunnel at the west end of the
Union Station, where the grade is 7 jer
cent., bepldes taking every other grade pos
sible to find in the city and traversing some
of the muddy unimproved streets, where a
considerable amount of power was required.
The battery was also entirely new, never
having recelveil a regular charge, but being
used just as it was received from the f firm
ing room, and it is safe to say that it will
show from 12 to 15 per cent, increased ef
ficiency upon h regular charge.
