WAH R5 LITS' TURN. Declare Former Election Illegal and Elect Officers. The Lits yesterday took oratorical matters into their hands and made good their threat of protesting the election. According to the constitu- tion a meeting of the association may be called at any time upon written request of two members from each of the classes represented on the board. This request was made and accordingly the meeting was legal and constitutional. In the absence of the recently elected officers J. A. Evans, '00, was made temporary chairman and A. K. Wistrand, '99, temporary secretary. Te smeetitgswas attetded almtot entirely by lits, about 100 being present. Evidence of illegality was presented by several members. It was stated that only 480 were pres- ent at the former meeting and thatt 526 votes were cast. It was also claimed that a number of law stu- dents had declared that they had cast three and five votes each. As a result of the evidence sub- mitted it was unanimously voted to declare the last election illegal and that it be rescinded. It was then unanimously decided to nominate the men named at the regular election. Accordingly the law candidates were named with those of the lits. After a long controversy a motion was carried that the association, there regularly assembled, request President Angell, Dean Hutchins, and Profs. Mechem, Trueblood and McLaughlin to act as a committee to decide the contested election. One mnember pointed out the folly of the ceurse the assembly was pursung, but found little sympathy with his views. After a long discussion as to the method of election a plan was finally devised by which a check was put on any possibility of ballot- stuffing, and the tellers wereinstruct- ed to keep the ballots for future ref- erence and to sign the election state- ment. It was voted to put on the records in full the evidence submit- ted and the resolutions and votes passed. Having thus fortified the meeting with all legal requirements a vote was taken which resulted unanimously for the lit ticket. After the election the successful candidates were duly sworn in and as a result the Oratorical Association has two boards. The regular officers are in possession of all papers etc., but were declared illegally elected. The lit board claims legal electiona and intends to make a fight for the offices. The contesting officers are given below: Regular Officers. Lit Officers. President, T. J. Jackson,'00 L. P. L. Robinson, '00. Vice president, D. H. Ortmeyer,'01 L. S. W. Utley, '02. Secretary, W. G.

Nancrede to the medical students last evening, in the lower lecture room of the Medical build- inig. The lecture was diagramatic in character, showing the weight, veloc-. ity and range of the different halls-. His remarks were based upon his ex- perience in the late war with Spain, lie having had charge at one time of all the wounded and sick of the American forces upon the island of Cuba. He gave a description of the dif- ferent kinds of wounds caused by the various balls, and showed very coticlutsively that the effect f 5 hall was determined by its velocity at the time it struck and not by the veloc- ity with which it left the gun. The principle resistence with which it meets is the air, and different wounds are made just as the ball strikes di- rect, slantingly, or sideways. By the modern rifle ball when bone has not been struck the devital- izing of tissue is very small and it a great many cases the first dressing has not been removed until the wound was healed. At one time he saw two men sitting smoking, each having a Mauser ball imbedded in his brain. The non-explosive ball involves little loss to tissue and destruction to bone, many cases being brought to the operating table with a wound clear through a leg or arsi bone and the bone not shattered. To Lecture on Draft. At last defiite arrangements have been made by which students it the Engieering Department, and all others who are interested, will be given the opportumity to hear Mr. Walter B. Snow lecture on "The In. fluence of Mechamical Draft upon the Ultimate Efficiency of Steami Boilers.' The lecture is illustrated by about 50 lantern slides and is one which has been well received at the eastern schools of technology. Quite recently Mr. Snow spoke before the students of Cornell University- and contemplates delivering the same lecture at Wisconsin on the night be- fore he comes here. His lecture treats largely of the different types of apparatus for pro. ducimg draft and the methods of ap phication. These will be illustrated and described by a thoroughly com- petent man. The subject is one of such vital importance to the engineer and of interest to the general public that a large crowd may well be looked for. The address will be given under the auspices of the Engineering Society on Saturday evening, April 29. This year is the first for a long time that all the 'Varsity football men are in one picture. See the picture on the "Victors" march at Sheehan's. 'Varsity vs. Toledo League, this afternoon at 4:10 o'clock at Fair Grounds. Last hose game before the spring trip ! Adnsis- sion 15 cents. Toledo Tahes the Third Game From the 'Varsity. Heavy hitting by Toledo and ragged work by the 'Varsity tells the story. The feature of the game was a long running catch of a line hit by Davies. Flesher batted well making a single and a two bagger. Toledo played much better ball than in the previous ganes. Taking this into con- sideration the game tomorrow ought to be a good one as the 'Varsity will make every effort possible to capture the fourth and last. Everybody ought to come out and get a line on the men before the spring trip. ''here was hardly a corporals guard at yesterday's game which goes a long way in explaining the score.

A meeting of the hun Club will be called on the first Friday after vacation, and an organization for the ensuing year will be effected. Notice of this fact is called to the student body at the present time in order that all students who are miterested in trap shooting may bring their guns back to college with them after va- cation. 'li(e club will probably ie taken in charge by the Athletic Associatiou and be made a regular branch of ath- letics here in the future. The matter will be brought allp at the next meet- ing of the board. All students who are interested in this kind of work will be urged to join the club. Any miember of the Athletic Associatiou may become a member without undergoing any trial shoot. Ar- rangements will be made by which the luaculty Clib traps and grounds will be rented so that the only ex- penses to memibers wil be for clay pigeons and ammuniition. Every student who wishes to join the club should come to the mieeting when called the first week after vacation and the first shoot will be held Satur- day, April 29. Twmo Freshman Ball Teams. At a meeting held yesterday smorn- ing the fresh medics took steps toward organizing a baseball team. Scouden who played on his class team, '00, at Cornell was elected temporary captain. After the meet- ing the candidates went through short practice on the campus and a number of men turned out. The fresh dents also organized a team electing Rogers captain and Ward Moore, who caught on Ollivet several seasons, manager. A tax of 25 cents per man was voted for the support of the team.
