AQUATIC CLUB MEETS
NEW OFFICERS ELECTED At THE
ANNUAL GATHERING.
General Discussion of Club I'm
provements and Reports Of Off,
cers-The Driving Club.

The annual meeting of the Aquatic Club
was held at the Grand Hotel last night and
officers for the ensuing year were elected.
The retiring directors were Allan Hen
bricks, w. III. lockwood and Il. A. Kinds.
and the new directors elected are DR.. +.
X. Charlton. =. A. Havelick and L. A.
Kinds, the latter being reelected The di-
rectors held a meeting after the adjourn
ment of the stockholders meeting and
elected the following officers for the ensu-
ing year: p. a. Havelick, president; Miles
Burford, vice president; DR.. f. r.. Charl-
ton. secretary. and p. A. Kinds, treasurer.
The reports of the secretary and treasurer
showed that the club is i'm good financial
condition and out of debt with a balance
III the treasury. An amendment to the
constitution was offered by Secretary Bur-
ford and it will be voted upon at a meeting
of the club. April q. at the boathouse His
amendment provided for increasing the
membership from $50 TO 200 and increasing
the capital Stock from $500 to 81 0OO The
amendment also provided that no member
will be eligible TO cast vote at an election
of officers unless he is free from debt to the
club.
Quite a discussion arose regarding the
policy of the club i'm the future on athletic
events. such as wrestling ana boxing bouts
1t was suggested that the lockers on the
second deck of the boathouse he removed
to the lower deck and a gymnasium and
wrestling mat be installed IN the reception
room. Many of the club members were in
favor of this plan, but others objected to
Ii, claiming that there was not enough
room on the lower deck for the lockers
and, should they be moved there. there
would be no room for the storing of boats.
Mr.. Havelick was called upon TO express
his views, and he said that in view of the
fact that the club is rapidly increasing in
membership II would be only a question
of time until IL would have TO build a new
boathouse clubhouse on land and use
the old boathouse for the storing of boats.
He said the Street-car company would
probably donate enough ground for a suit
able clubhouse and il was better for the
club To make only slight improvements
this year and then next year the question
OF suitable clubhouse where there would
be room for athletic events would be taken
up.
President Thomas Wynn, of the Canoe
Club, was present and was asked 10 give
his views regarding aquatic events between
the two clubs this summer. He said the
Canoe Club had not yet discussed its
plans for the present season and was I'm
no position To give an answer to the Aquat-
ic Club. II is likely, however. that there will
be several meets arranged between the two
clubs this summer.

Bituminous Miners ut Work.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, April S.-The re-
ports received from various parts of the
Indiana bituminous coal field to-day agreed
that there was no resistance to the con-
tract signed here last week by the miners
and operators, and that wherever there
was work to be done there were miners
ready to work. One report on Saturday
from Linton was that three local unions
there had decided not to go TO work to-day
under the contract because it contained the
clause requiring miners 10 buy powder
from the employing operators at $l.75 a
key. Advices received here by both opera
tors and miners officials were to the effect
that this report exaggerated the situa-
ton. There was and is yet In some places
positive objection TO the powder clause,
and there is disposition to crticise OFF,
GERS of the organiza ton in the matter, but
the fact is that the delegates themselves
are wholly responsible for the action taken.
The next probable difficulty will be in
enforcing the purchase of the powder in
the manner provided. If the operators find
miners buying powder from the Great
Northern Company they will either dis
charge the men or call on the labor or
ganization 10 take steps to see that the
contract is complied with.
