Leader Thrown Down.

Fred Maxine, the self-appointed
leader of the Higher Wage Associa-
ton agitation, had a severe throw
Gown at Eva on Sunday afternoon.
He went down on the train and ex-
pected to be received with open arms.
This did not happen. He was handed
a lemon, given the cold shoulder, and
1t was strongly intimated to him and
his crowd of fellow-agitators that they
had better leave. One story of their
reception is that when they went to
the plantation hall, the plantation
japanese told them to remain out
side Another is that they were told
to return to their train and not inter-
fere with the working men. The lat
ter said that whatever affairs they
had to handle they would attend to
themselves. Maxine marshaled few
score of japanese at honolulu, where
he harangued them for short time.

uli is said to be composed of gam

NOTED FLOWER PAINTERS
PLEA FOR AMERICAN ART

Extract from editorial, Philadel-
phia Evening Item:
'E'Our Paris correspondent writes
that we must do the French Senate
and Chamber of Deputies the justice,
that whatever may be the financial
strain and political entanglements, both
bodies are always ready to help, finan-
cially, any scheme for the furtherance
of National Art. Often American on
lockers have been utterly astonished
at the Senate and Chamber of Depu-
ties eurtailing for the sake of economy
budget items relating to such vital
matters as the army and navy, and yet
voting at the same sitting large sums
of money for new art items. 1t seems,
indeed, as if there were an absolute
agreement upon this point, that artistic
culture is the most precious treasure of
France
1.-TWO thousand millions of dollars
are going to be voted by Congress for
this year IS budget of the United States,
and of that fabulous amount probably
not one dollar will be voted for the
