ADOPT A
WORTHY RESOLUTION
Show Benefit of Crew Rowing and
Open Junior Membership to
Scholastic Athletes.

At meeting held by the board
/ OF governors of the Potomac Boat
/ club Oh MaS 4 resolution was pre-
| scented and adopted which now allows
Junior membership and which should
! help to develop crew rowing in the
. local preparatory and high schools.
1t is shown in the resolution the
/ benefit of rowing to the mind and
body, in the comparison with other
sports. BY the adoption of this res
olution il will pave a way for the
wearers of the Red and White TO
enlist the services of many promis-
ing young athletes. and il will mean
the STRENGTHENING of the junior crews
at the Potomac club.
The resolution is as follows:
whereas. In the category of exer-
cises. which tend to promote the
health of the mind and body. it has
long been conceded by men of atm
letic prOwesS that rowing stands pre-
emineniIy in a class by itself While
many forms of exercise are 10 be
commended such as running, walking.
boxing wrestling. baseball. football,
tennis, etc. yet none is productive
of better results than those obtained
while sculling in the frail racing shell
or manipulating sweep in crew
boat.
when practiCed singly. certain mus
cles only receive benefit. while in
rowing every muscle of the human
frame is brought into play at one
time, from the biCeps and triceps of
the arms to the shoulder back and
abdominal muscles and those of the
neither limbs.
In word. rowing answers the
combined purposes of nearly all the
other forms OF exercise and is far
better in view OF the fact that the
body is exposed to the beneficial eff
fects of the air and sun and no dust
is taken into the lungs.
"In view of the above facts 1t is
gratifying to note the growing popu-
larity of this grand and most health
full pastime among the youths OF
America.
Therefore, BE II resolved, that the
Potomac Boat Club adopt A junior

above the age of seventeen tD years
who are attending any of the high
schools or preparatory schools in the
District of Columbia and who shah
nav as dues the sum of ten dollars
$50 annually. said membership to
be without the privilege of storing
boats or vote. or voice at the meet
ings of the club"

Ii was because Grff insisted upon

SUBMARINE CREW
suNkEN VESSEL Is REPORTED
WATERLoGGED WHICH SHOWS
FATE OF INMATES.

Washington, D. G., March 31.-Sec-
retary Daniels was determined today
to raise the sunken submarine F-4 In
Honolulu harbor, no matter what the
operation may cost. He wants to
learn the cause Of the accident so as
to avoid similar disasters.
This was made known after advices
had been received from Rear Admiral
Moore at Honolulu which said that
preparations were being made to raise
the submarine by the pontoon method.
The fact that the admiral reported the
submarine evidently was water-logged
and therefore too heavy to be raised
by the equipment previously employed
banished the hopes OF officials that
any Of her crew might be found alive
Money 10 Appropriated.
Expenditure OF $4,000 to bring the
sunken submarine F-4 to the surface
In Honolulu harbor was authorized by
Secretary Daniels today after mes
sage had been received from Rear
Admiral Moore saying that the haw-
ser attached to the boat had parted
and that present equipment was too
light to raise her.

steamer Taurus. detained at Kirkwall
on March 9 and later taken to Dundee
where her cargo of American lard was
thrown into prize court, has been
released.
The American steamer Antilla, also

New York, and which was later trans
ferred to Dundee, will be permitted to

TITLED 70 INCREASE IN PAY
DATING FROM 1912.

Hazleton, Pa, March 31.-Electrici-
ans, electricians helpers, watchmen,
flre bosses, stable bosses, engineers
and other monthly men In and about
the anthracite mines are entitled to q
wage advance Of ten per cent dating
from the amended agreement In ef-
feet between the operators and their
employees since 1912.
This was decided today by Former
United States Judge George Gray Of
Wilmington, Del, as umpire for the
anthracite conciliation board. The
decision sustains the grievance OF the
stable bosses, engineers and fire
bosses Of the Pancoast-Price Coal Co.,
OF Lackawanna county, who got five
and half per cent wage advance in
1912 when the miners received ten
per cent under the contract which
went into effect that year.
Judge Gray rules that the agree.
ment embodied all employees in and
about the mines, although prior to
1912 many Of the monthly hands had
not been considered subject to the
1902 award OF the strike commission
named by President Roosevelt.

Passenger on French Liner
Is Arrested on Charge
Of Causing Blaze
HAD HINTED ABOUT
IMPENDING DISASTER
Boasts of Germany's Great
Power Recalled After
Accident to Steamer

Paris, March 31.-Raymond Swo-
boda, one of the passengers aboard
the French line steamship La Tour
aine, which was imperiled by a fire
at sea on March 6, has been arrested
charged with setting fire to the vessel,
according to the Matin.
Swoboda, the paper asserts, is sus-
pected of having "close relations with
the enemy" and correspondence found
in his rooms ls said to indicate he had
been charged with the task of blow
ing up the Touraine. He has been
taken to Havre.
Investigation made by experts ap-
pointed by Admiral Charlier, who is
col ting the inquiry into the steam
ship lire. has established. 1t is said, the
fact that the blaze aboard the La
Touraine must have been caused by
the explosion of some detonating de-
vice. Statements made by passengers
and members Of the crew support this
theory. The explosion was sufficient
ly violent to wrench loose the doors
of cabins nearby The authorities be-
lieve the explosive had been placed
with criminal intent in trunk which
was stored with the baggage of first
class passengers in No. hold.
With the first report of experts at
hand, the state attorney at Havre ex-
amined as many passengers as could
be reached. The witnesses stated, &C
cording to the Matin, that they had
been amazed at the statement made
one night during the voyage by fel-
! low passenger when they were dis
cussing German threats to torpedo
ships passing through the war zone.
This passenger is quoted as having
remarked:
"Oh, that isn't the only war zone
that would be dangerous; Germany is
strong enough to do what she wants.
This ship herself, even before she
reaches the war zone, might be oblig-
ed to have recourse to the doctors
and nurses aboard to care for the
passengers"
Only passing heed, however, was
