The new building was completed
late in 1900 An informal house
warming was held Nov. 2S, when the
directors had their first meeting in
the structure, a dignified building in
Italian Renaissance style.
The building seemed TO blend into

Welcome For Harrison

When Harrison returned to India
napolis March 6, 1898, his term as
President completed, the Columbia
Club sponsored an elaborate well
come.
The clubs influence in Republican
circles now was felt throughout the
county. Distinguished visitors were
entertained. In September, 1894, a
reception was held at the clubhouse
for William Mckinley.
At the National Republican con-
vention in st. Louis in 1896, and in
club once more did it's share.
Stormy times were ahead. First
steps toward the erection of new
building were taken at stock
holders meeting Feb. 8, 1897. From
that time until the building, costing
one and a half times the original
estimate, was dedicated Dec. 81,
| 1900, club leaders were tried time
after time by financial troubles.
However, they sailed safely through
| the storms, and entered the new
building on a sound, financial basis.
Moses G.. McLain was president
when the movement to erect the new
club house was started. An in
| vestigating committee recommended
that a new club be built, at a cost
not to exceed $4,000, exclusive of
furnishings. This report was ac-
cepted by the stockholders, and the
stock increased to meet the new
needs.
At the same time, the club ex-
tended it's membership to Re
publicans throughout Indiana. 1t
was voted to increase the member
ship from 400 to $50.
Christ Church, now one Of the few
very old structures in the Circle sur
viving the march of progress, was
considered ais a possible site for the
new building, as the University
Club was negotiating for the Column
bia Club property. However, after
| a time negotiations were broken
off, an option on the church prop
erty was relinquished and it was de
cided to build on the old property.
| A contract with the architect, Frank
M. Andrews of Dayton, Ohio, also
iarchitect of the Claypool Hotel, was
signed July s, 1898. Andrews was
chosen in competition with other
architects. Clarence Martndale or

ers' meeting, June %. 1t was Of
fered by M. H. Spades for $4,000.
A committee was sent to Spades
Immediately to offer him $500 Tor
the property. Spades, routed out OF
bed, went to the meeting in his night
shirt and finally agreed to accept
$23, 800.
As soon as the Morrison house
was opened formally as the new
Columbia Clubsth need for larger
quarters was evident. A building
committee, TO plan for alterations,
was appointed Feb. 81, 1891, at
meeting at which Rutherford b.
Hayes, former President of the
United States, was elected first hon
orary member of the club.
With $12,21e.1S spent on altera-
tions, the club found it's quarters
adequate for current needs. The
formal opening, set for Dec. 16, 1891,
was postponed because of the death
of Governor Alvin P. Hovey.
Early in 1892, the club made pro-
visions for future growth by pur-
chasing the thirty feet of property
Immediately east of its home, from
Spades for SIS, 900.
Two months before its fourth
birthday, the club ventured afar
when it chartered special train,
took along its house servants and
caterer and went to Minneapolis,
Mimi, to attend the Republican Ma
tional convention in June, 1892. The
purpose Of the trip was to further
the campaign for President Harri-
sons denomination. The club made
quite an impression at the conven-
ton, and came home triumphant
after the President was renominated
June 10, 1892.

Columbia Club Formed

When the need of capitalization
of effort was seen, the Columbia Club
came into existence. Leading in or
ganizing the club were Henry S. Fra
ser, Charles Martindale and James
Wright. The first public parade was
held the evening Of Aug. II, 1888.
The club then had $50 members. The
officers were: President, Edward
Daniels. secretary, Henry S. Fraser;
treasurer, Otto Gresham, and mar
shall, Col. Oran Perrys
The club presented a picturesque
group, with uniforms of blue nan
mel coats and trousers, white vests
and pearl colored derbies. The old
Light Infantry Drum Corps was re-
organized for the new club, with
about twenty members.
During the latter part of the cam
paign. Ben Nichols acted as
marshal.
After Harrison's election, it was
decided to make the club permanent
An executive committee was formed
and Chaplin C. Foster was made
chairman of a membership commit
tee.
On Feb. 10, 1889, articles of asso-
citation were filed, with lis men
listed as fncorporators and charter
members. The capital stock was
fixed at $4,000, divided into 800
shares Of 500 each.
1t was decided to buy a permanent
home for the club. At a board
meeting April 26, 1889, Chaplin c.
Foster and Henry S. Fraser were
authorized to obtain options on SITES
Resid nee in Circle
After consideration of a number Of
sites, the Morrison residence, in the

+ Splendid Memories.

The roll of drums of nine
teenth century political rallies
and the resonance Of campaign
speeches mingle with gay two
steps, waltzes and gavettes, In
Me echoes that tell the history
of the Columbia Club, now en-
tering a new era.
Names that stand high in the
annals of the Nation help to
glorify this history; memories
of long past days and of friends
who have gone mellow it.
The prominence and the prosperity
which the club has attained were
only vague dreams to the little
group of men who banded together
in 1888 to further the candidacy of
Benjamin Harrison, pride Of Indian
apolis, for the Presidency of the
United States.
They formed a marching club, the
Columbia Club, after the first tumult
Of joy following Harrison's nomina-
ton at the Republican National con-
vention at Chicago had worn itself
out, and the need of Capitalization
of campaign clubs had made itself
felt.
The city was host to delegations
without number, coming to pay
honor to the candidate. Determined
to keep high standard of hospital
ity, the various organizations which
came to the fore met delegations at
the station, entertained them during
their visits. and escorted them to the
trains when they left.

Reduction of Air
Service Sergeant
First Since 1920

The recent reduction of q technical
sergeant in the Army Air Service to
the grade Of private through sentence
of a special courtmartial is the first
case on record since 1920 where a
non-commissioned officer IN the Air
Service. appointed by the chief Of Air
Service, suffered such a punishment,
the Army Air Service announced to-
day.
ITO one conversant with Army
life," said the announcement, such
an occurrence would appear to be
nothing out of the ordinary-rather
commonplace. And yet for the Air
Service it is an extraordinary occur
renee"
The reasons for the exceptional
branch" said the announcement, were
summarized as follows 1T may be
stated without fear Of successful con-
tradiction that the Air Service Is the
most democratic combatant branch in
the Army today, for the reason that
the officers and enlisted men have
more things in common with one
another. There is q closer bond of
sympathy between officer and man be-
cause Of the necessarily closer contact
they have with one another. Air
Service pilots usually carry enlisted
men along with them as their me-
chanics when making an airplane
fight, and one long cross-country
fight will give the enlisted passen-
ger and the officer pilot a far greater
| insight into each others character
than would be possible in another
branch of the service during weeks
and months spent on the drill field"

routine. In the evening Mr.. Coolidge
chatted with George Harvey, former
Ambassador to Great Britain, who was
dinner guest.
Political Import Seen.
Those who analyZe things polit-
ically profess to see in letters made
public here yesterday some political
significance. The executive office
gave out a letter written by William
A. Aiken, a 72-year-old Vermonter,
who said that he desired to have an
other opportunity TO vote for Mr..
Coolidge. The very fact that TINS
letter and the Presidents reply were
given out officially is accepted by OBJ
servers here as meaning that the
President does not take unkindly to
the suggestion that he be given an
other term.
President Coolidge has been flood
ed with invitations from the summer
residents along the north shore. These
became so great that he had to make
a public announcement that he and
Mrs. Coolidge would not accept any
invitations for dinner or other en-
tertainments.
In his first week he received one
of the wealthieSt women on the north
shore, whose residence Is regarded
as the most pretentiouS Summer
abodes in the United States. 1t has
been pointed out to sight-seers for
years and is well known to all resi-
dents In these parts.

vitation to dine with her at her home.

Representative Madden, but he could

this legislation will have a fair chance
TO get through the next Congress. al

the creek, where they had previously
located the stills. Surrounding the
place by land and on the water, the

Two of the men ran toward the
creek and jumped in. They swan to
