SHORTRIDGE STUDENTS
TO HOLD MASS MEETING
Echo Association Will Be Reor-
ganized-NewS of the High
Schools.

All the students of Shortridge High School
who are interested in the Daily Echo will
hold a mass meeting this morning to
ganize a new Echo Association. Since the
opening of school last fall several futile
attempts have been made TO make a similar
organization but now the faculty is inter-
ested in the movement and are urging the
students to attend the first meeting. Mr..
Thomas, head Of the English department,
will act as critic of the organization. 1t is
the plan of the promoters that this organi-
zation shall be for the literary benefit Of
the Echo. At each meeting papers will be
read on divers subjects and thus show the
abilities of the different members in liter
airy way. In the future all the leading
editors and their assistants will be chosen
from the association. Another plan that
has been suggested and will in all prob
ability be carried out is to award to all
those students who have worked on the
Echo for one year a pin Signifying that
they are honorary members of the asSocia-
ton. The dues will be small and will be
used for the benefit of the association.
The senior debating classes, which were
organized last September by Mr.. Thomas
and Mr.. Dunn, are now perfecting them
selves for an open debate that is to be
given in the next two weeks. The question
to be debated is: Labor unions as or
ganized and managed in the United States
have been and are a benefit to the Repub-
lic." Edward Lewis editor of the Annual,
has been chosen to lead the argument on
the affirmative, while Harvey Stout will be
at the head of the debaters on the negative.
Mr.. Dunn, of the history department, has
offered his services to those students who
have been seeking some way in which to
make enough money to buy a stereopticon
lantern for the proposed history headquar-
ters in the new building. Two lectures will
be given on the evolution of writing, start
ing with the prehistoric records found. The
admission for the two lectures will be 90
cents for adults and 50 cents for all school
children. All of the history teachers are
urging the students to sell tickets and
create as much enthusiasm in the project
as possible. BY permission of Mr.. Kendall
the auditorium of the Benjamin Harrison
school and it's stereopticon lantern will be
used free of any charge by the students.
1t is the desire on the part of the pro-
motors to realize about $50.
For the past several weeks the junior
class has been trying to find a way of
making money with which to give their
reception to the seniors in May. A few
weeks ago they decided TO give a play at
the German House. because they could not
secure permission to hold junior hop at
the high school as has previously been the
custom. Mr. Kendall was not in favor
of the class giving play, and after a long
consultation with Mr. Benton yesterday aft
ernoon, Cornelius Holloway, president of
the class, and Albert ArOnson, treasurer,
managed to get consent of holding a dance
at the ShortridSe Hall on Friday, March 70.

Charles B. WillettS Sues Saloon
Keeper and Owners of the

OTHER CASES IN COURT

Another injunction suit to prevent the sale
of liquors was filed yesterday in the Marion
Circuit Court. This time the case was
brought by Charles b. Willets against
Marion McCorkle Benjamin f. and A: r.
Schmidt McCorkle operates saloon in the
property of the Schm.dtS at SIS Blake street,
and the suit is brought against the defend
ants Jointly.
Willets in his complaint alleges that the
saloon is kent omen on sunday and that a
large number Of men go IN and out every
Sunday and late at nights, and the noise
made by such gatherings disturbs the peace
of his family. 1t is also alleged that the
back yard of the saloon is kept in a very
unsanitary condition, and that the fumes
from it enter the house of the plaintiff, much
to the discomfort of the occupants. WilletS
also claims that his property has been dam
aged by the proximity OF the saloon, and
that it can now rent for only $11 per month,

Heavy Passenger Traffic.

The New York Central is fortunate in pos
sessing an unusually large passenger traf-
tic. Passenger earnings form an unusually
large proportion of the gross receipts from
operation. OUT of total gross earnings Of
10000 80 per cent. $23.5S1 eco, consist
ed of passenger revenue, which amounted
To one-half OF the gross earnings of the
freight traffic. This is much higher than
the average Of the railroads of the middle
States, which earned in 1902 over 1891 1895 600
from freight and $l09,572O00 from pasSen-
gers. The Central has an unusually large
communication business in the territory north
Of New York and handled last year 80, COO
way passengers. Both of these forms of
passenger traffic much more profitable
than the long distance traffic, as the latter
involves many incidental expenses. The
magnitude of the passenger business is fur
ther shown in the fact that OF the total
passenger mileage of the middle States last
year, including 25,557 miles of road, one
eighth was controlled by the New York
Central and covered one-fifth of the pas
senger traffic of the section through which
the system passes.

J. w. AIidgley, of the mileage bureau,
says the beef trust and the private car in
terest so powerful that their influence
has caused him to be oStracised by railroad
men. For more than year Mr.. Midgley
has been exposing the alleged abuses which
are said to have arisen from the use by the
railroads of cars owned by shippers, for
which the railroads pay an exOrbitant rental
and he has ventilated these abuses to a
considerable extent through the press of
the country. 1t is said that the fear of the
trust is so great that railway officials no
longer dare TO communicate with him or be
to avoid him in the street and if cornered
shift about uneasily when compelled to con-
verse with him. He has been so long con-
nected with railroad companies in an official
character that he well known in rail-
road circles and quite extensively known
as a letter writer.

C1ttle-There were very few dealers to-day
that would admit that the cattle market in q
general way was in any better condition than
at tie close Of last week Occasionally sales OF
the best selections in all departments We're 100
15c higher than equal kinds could be sold for
last Friday. but such transactions were Offset by
a very dali market for most OF the cattle that
were not fully up 10 the standard in quality
and condition. and therefore il cannot be said
that the situation is very much better from
the sellers standpoint. Indeed, there is q con-
tinued very dull market for fat cattle that are
not thick fat that little off In quality.
and although II is possible to get about last
weeks closing prices for this grade, the outlet
is exceedingly slow and hardly equal TO the sup
ply. Local packers are still complaining OF q
very unsatisfactory market for dressed beef and
IL seems that prices here are not low enough
10 attract many orders from outside sources.
1t was evident that the demand to-day was best
for the steers good enough to sell above S425,
cows above $3.50 and below S3.2, and for heifers
that thick and OF good quality. The de-
nand for feeding cattle was not liberal and
rather slow for those that were little off in
quality. But prices did not develop any quota
bic change compared with those prevailing here
tofOre this week. The bull market again
reported steady and calves were generally sc
lower. Quotations.:
