PRICE or ICE
is INCREASED
Dealers Here Notified of the Ad-
vance and Local Customers
Feel the Result.

What will the poor girls do? Ice
cream has gone mp in this city tc
thirty-hve cents a quart and both the
five and ten cent plates are to be
made smaller. All because the local
ice dealers have put up the price OF
ice to consumers.
This week local ice dealers receiv-
ed notice that hereafter ice, by the
wholesale, would increase in price,
and to make ends meet, they, in turn,
have notified their customers that ice
at retail will be advanced.
During the past winter the weather
was very mild and little or no ice
could be cut. The wholesalers claim
there is a scarcity.

again paragraph 1, Section ;, of the
same article: mo member of the sen

the time for which he was elected be

Mr.. Fordyce can bubble as TO whe-
Their he was within the letter of the
constitutional prohibition, but he Ger
tainly was within its spirit, and if
the constitution had never contained
any such restriction it is clearly
wrong for a man to accept an office
which he has himself caused to be
created. Had Senator Jackson done
such Il thing it would be trumpetCd
from one end of the state to the other
until the close of the polls on pri-
mary night, and if nominated would
defeat him on election day, but |

BILE Of explanation or excuse
No busy man will expect me to find
time from now until the primaries to
reply to the misrepresentation which
may naturally be expected to follow
such a platform, but | am confident
the public will do its W thinking
and accept results as they see them
and not mere statements.
The republican party has been in
control Of this commonwealth less
than four months and statement that
republican bossism and graft are UNI
dermining it is absurd onjts face.
1t is worth while for republicans to
think twice before they ally them
selves with a cause the almost certain
proportions of any consequence, to
split the republican party wide open
and restore the democracy to power
in MiddleseX county and all its con
%stituent parts.
You observe that the democrats
are encouraging Mr.. Fordyce TO the
utmost Of their ability; they know a
good thing when they see it and
they see Mr. Fordyce.
| do not think however that the is
sue this fall can be befogged with the
cry of "bossism.' The issue will
abide between Senator Jackson and
Mr.. Fordyce and will be whether a
man born and reared in MiddleseX
county who has served his constitu-
ents faithfully and we'll, and has
made a record for himself never eX-
celled if indeed it has even been
eQualled by that of any other Middle
sex senator, is to be given the custom

contrary the nomination shall be Civ

A BUSY WEEK
FOR LABORERS
Many Unions Will Meet Inter.
est Center in Action to Be
Taken by The Carpenters,

Next week will be a busy one for
the union men of this city, for almost
every night in the week Il union
meeting of some sort is to be held
and at every session it is more than
likely that important questions that
have been hanging fire for some time
will be discussed and settled, if posi-
Bile.
Monday night the United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners of
America, Local No. 65, will meet in
the union rooms in the Adelaide
building, in Smith street. Some time
ago this union asked the bosses for
an increase Of wages as told in the
NEWS. The bosses have offered to
compromise, but it is not what the
mechanics demand. Most of the car
penters are in favor of holding out
for what they first demanded and if
it is not forthcoming, of knocking Oft
work on May /. Others want TO take
what the bosses have offered for il
will then mean steady work for the
entire season. 1t is expected that the
meeting will be a hot one.
The Central Labor Board will hold
an important meeting in the same
rooms Tuesday night. Besides the
report, which, it is understood, Sec
rotary Charles Beck is to read, the
matter of having a labor parade in
this city Labor day will be discussed.
I Ir,-,,,. ,,,tn,, ,,on i, thig pttN Gnnpg
to be in favor of the parade and it
will be Il great benefit to this city.
At the meeting of the United Asso-
citation of Plumbers and Steamiitters
Local No. 270, Tuesday night, in the
union rooms, it is expected that
reply will be received from the bosses
notifying the men what they arc will
ling to pay them after May 1. Sever
al weeks ago the plumbers and steam
filters notified the bosses that they
wanted an increase of fifty cents
day. AT the present they get $3.50.
The International Laborers' Unior
Of Hold Carriers meet Wednesday
night in the union rooms and 1t Is
expected that they will appoint
committee to notify the bosses Off
cially that they have accepted the
terms offered them. These lei are
associated with the masons and brick
layers and they get an increase of
wages, but not what they asked.
Thursday night the Sh%ipcarpenters
and Caulkers' Union, Local No. 81,
will get together. The delegate, it is
understood, will report that nearly
all of the men who were discharged
from a local shipyard because they
belonged to a union have secured 9th
er positions at either other yards, OF
else as house carpenters. Some OF
the men are expert in house building
as we'll as in building and caulking
ships. The special committee APP
pointed by the Central Labor Board
to look into the matter of the dis
charging of union men Il. the ship
yard may have a report to make.
All members of the International
Union of Transfers will most likely
be on hand at the meeting Friday
night as Il number of important
things are to be settled, among which
is the question of the floats and Wag
Ons to be furnished for the Labor
Day parade, if it takes place in this
city.
The Brotherhood of Machine
Blacksmiths will also meet Friday
night.

A LAKE 10 THE GULF

The First Step Taken Toward Estab- fishing a Natural Great Artery of Trade.

St. Louis, Mo, Nov. 15.-By the cleo tion of F.. $. Conway of Chicago as permanent chairman and w. F. Saun- deIs of St. Louis, as secretary, the first steps taken toward permanent or ganiZation of The Lakes to the Gulf Deep Waterway association were taken late this afternoon at the first days session of the waterways convention at the Odeon. More than 1000 dele gates were present representing twen ty-two states bordering on the Missic- sippi river and it's tributaries.
 Congressman Henry Rainier of Illi- nois who addressed the convention to- day said that this country had been divided into spheres of influence by seven great railroad groups. which do not infringe upon one another's terri tory. We cannot regulate freight rates by legislation" he continued. 'The only way of improving. railroad rates is by opening our great natural waterways to commerce by making channels navigable by boats capable of carrying thousands of tons of car go." The convention will tomorrow re- ceive the report of the committee ap- pointed to prepare an address to the public embodying the best means of securing a deep water way from Lake Michigan to the gulf.

HE WANTS LIGHT.

To the Editor of The Republican, Sir: I have been interested ever since read the call for the election on gam bling to be held next Tuesday to know what the plan of the city council is with regard to handling of the loss to the revenue of the city the abolish- ment of gambling would create. I am of the opinion that the election next Tuesday will be a fair one and that the expressed will of the people will be car- ried out by the city council. It is my opinion however that this question should be settled now for several years and do away with the agitation at each election. Is there not some member of the city council who can give the voters an idea of what is to follow the election either way it goes that no voter may afterward make a claim that the election was not a true ex- pression because the people were not informed. As a taxpayer I would like this information and so far there has been nothing in the way of explanation printed.
 Yours respectfully.

WDA'S EXPERIENCE
WITH JAP ARTIST

Word has been received from Frank
Vida, now located in Shanghai. He
is engaged in the advertising business
and is doing well.
Vida controls all the billboards in
Shanghai. He writes that he is having
trouble with his artists, which are
Japanese.
ST contracted for a champagne adj
vertisement on a boarding" writes
Vida, land the central figure was that
of a girl holding a glass of wine in her
hand. / set the Japanese artist to work
and later on in the day dropped round
to see how the work was progressing.
An immense crowd had gathered round
the boarding. Wonderingly L fought
my way through. The reason for the
crowd was not hard to find. The Jap
had painted the lady first and was
adding her clothes afterward."

Down 1wilei way is T. training camp
where Sailor Morch, Wahilani and
Young David are preparing for their
strenuous engagements of week from
today.
It is an unpretentious little place
but some mighty earnest work is done
there every afternoon and every train
ing bout is a small fight.
Yesterday Bill Huihui was looking
after the hard-hitting sailor and hus-
tied him through a lot of the right
Kind of exercise
First of all Morch took a spell at
the bag and smashed it so hard that
the rope busted a couple of times
Then he and Bill put 'em on for five
rounds. Morch is in rare shape; of
this there can be no doubt. He is
making his weight by comfortable de-
grees and improving every time he
dcns the nitts.
Huihui has undoubtedly gone back
whole lot but is still there with a
dangerous wallop. Morch poked it to
him full and free for three rounds
yesterday Then Bill got his Kakaako
up and went after the sailor hot and

Morch and prompted him to tell the

with evident gusto.
All Sam carried Jack along for i
while. Sam is a willing Chink and

teur bouts in Frisco. He is billed to
box 4 rounds with Young David and
will come near making good
After a while Kid Bettincourt
Clipped in. He is engaged to spar 10
rounds with Wahilani. Bettincourt
has a very fair left and with proper
tuition will develop into a boxer. He
went after McFadden with will for
a couple of rounds yesterday. but when
the ruby-topped lad felt like it, he
smothered the Portuguese.
The main event looks good and should
furnish a far better contest than is
generally anticipated. Dick Sullivan
is managing the show and is sparing
no pains to make his first effort in the
line of fight promoting a big success.

A perusal of the above tables will
show the difference between a game
won and a game lost. particularly in a
short half season. such as being now
played. The league may go back to
one long season next year, some claim
ing that the teams will be more assidu-
Gus when they know that every game
lost counts. However, the game will
be on again this afternoon and a record
crowd is oresaged.
The Winter League games on Sunday
should be good ones. and the game be
tween the Diamond Heads and the
Metropolitans viii be keenly fought
out. Both these teams are still I'M
defeated and the winner of this game
may be almost looked on as the winner
of the first half. The second game, be-
tween the Alohas and Lusitanas. will
also be a good one the Lusitanas hav-
ing lost to the Metropolitans last Sun
day by a narrow margin after putting
I'D one of the best games OF the sea-

her rafulgent rays tomorrow and may
do so indefinitely if the sister teams so
elect. The games tomorrow VIII be |
worth seeing and a large crowd may |
be looked for.

WEIGH BOXED
BAT NELSON

Spider" WEIGH, the boxer, arrived
looking for a match with Dick Sulli-
van, the conqueror of Huihui and
Silva.
A year ago last April WEIGH fought
Battling Nelson in Salt Lake City, only
losing after Is hard rounds. Nelson
claims that WEIGH is the toughest man
he ever put the gloves on with. This
was Nelson's first big fight and the
one that brought him into prominence.
After losing to Nelson, WEIGH went
to Seattle and Tacoma and had a
couple of fights. He lost to George
Herberts in 10 rounds and defeated
Dick Green in I rounds.
WEIGH is heavier today than ever
in his life, fighting at 142 pounds.
