An Important Special Meeting Of the
Club VIII be Held Tomorrow
Evening at Major
Meias.'
MARINE INSPECTION BILL
A Bill Before the House to Prohibit
the Navigating Of Motor Boats
Without a Licensed
Crew.

Tomorrow evening at the home OF
Major M. Meigs, 511 North Third
street there will be a meeting of the
Keokuk Motor Boat Club. The meet
ing has been especially called to act
in regard to letters recently received
by both Commodore M. Meigs and
vice Commodore A. G. Decker of the
local boat club, from Robert E. Pow
er, editor Of the Motor boat club of
Detroit, Mich.
There is now in the house at Wash
ington, bill to place ban on all
motor boating unless certain unreas-
enable restrictions are complied with
and should the bill be passed at the
December session of Congress there
would be few motor boats seen on the
river, because of the stringent laws
which would be enforced and which
would necessarily put damper on
the sport which is now second to none
in warm weather and which towns all
along the Mississippi as well as the
other greater and lesser streams OF
the country are interested in.
Many cities where thriving boat
clubs and fine boat and club houses
have been built up would feel the ct
fects of the law should it be passed
For this reason there will be {
special meeting tomorrow evening o
the Keokuk Motor boat club to take
action in the matter and think of thu
plan of sending representative from
this city to represent the local boa
3 club at the formation of the Nationa
t Power Boat association which will
3 take place in Detroit on May first.
: Should no representative be sent b
/ the local club, resolutions would b
: drawn up and sent to the officers O
/ the new association to be formed
: The new association as explained i
l. the letter will act against the bill an
use its weight in stopping the passag
of the bill.

Keokuk, Ia.
Gentlemen:
We take the liberty of urging your
immediate and careful consideration
of the call for National Convention
at Detroit, Saturday May LIST, just is
sued by the Western Power Boat as
Isociation This convention will organ
ize a National Power Boat Associa-
tion largely for the purpose of assist
ing in the work of securing just and
sneedful legislation of national charac-
ter at Washington. The present bill
now pending before congress Is dam
gerous to the power boat interests and
practically prevents your club mem
bers from owning and operating power
craft
The Marine Inspection Bill, as 1t is
called, provides among other things
that motor vessels, thirty-fve feet and
over between perpendiculars, shall be
provided with life boats and launching
apparatus, RATS, self-igniting water
lights, line carrying projectiles, with
means of propelling them, drags,
pumps, etc. The fine for violation is
81 900 Also pleasure launches, thirty
five feet or more. shall not be navigat-
ed unless they have in their service
and on board such complement OF
licensed officers and such crew as may
in the judgment of the local inspector
be necessary for their safe navigation
Only parts of two sections are cited
above; there are eighty in ALL affect
ing power boats of all sizes, SO you
may have some idea of the amount OF
work, to be done before next Decem
Der.
We would suggest that you call 6
meeting of your executive committee
select delegate and send him to De
troit. The advisability of united ant
concerted action at this time is sc
evident that we feel no hesitancy in
urging it upon you.
With the best interests of the sport
of Power boating always at heart, we
beg leave to remain,
Most sincerely yours.

the individual as it is to the clubs
along the different rivers and lakes oil.
the country. Tomorrow evening
should see every one of the twenty
Ave or thirty members of the local
boat club present at the meeting and
prepared to offer good suggestions, as
important business will be brought up
before the meeting in which each and
every club member and also private
launch owners are interested.
The result of the passage of such
bill known and the Marine Inspection
bill cannot be overestimated and the
time for all motor boat men OF the
country to act has come. Letters are
being sent to all clubs in, the sMississi-
ppi Valley Motor Boat club, the Hin
OILS Valley clubs, and all other
clubs to meet in Detroit 4 the
first of May for the formation
of the National association and
lit is likely that Keokuk will be
represented by one of the local motor
boat men at that meeting.

The boy decided to investigate his
