PLUMBERS UP IN ARMS.

LONDON, Nov. 1S.-At a meeting of
the Institute of Plumbers held yesteT-
day exception was taken to the state
ments regarding plumbers made by
Harold Begbie in his latest book.
In a chapter headed The Plumber,
according to a delegate at the meet
ing, Mr.. Begbie said that the plumO-
ing trade was the worst from the
moral point OF view, that there was
no bigger set of thieves than those OF
the plumbing trade, that he did not
know why ii was, but plumbers APP
peared not TO be able TO help it, lie
would sooner have a burglar in the
house than a plumber, Further, if
these were rum" things to say about
the whole trade, they were neverthe-
less true.
The meeting, in solemn conclaye,
decided that plumbers were tired of
being the butt OF comic papers, and a
resolution was passed ordering that
legal opinion be obtained as to the
chance of winning a libel suit against
Begbie as a warning to others,

LAW CALLS PARTY TO ARMS.

LONDON, November 17.-Andrew
Bonar Law, the new leader of the
Unionists in the House of Commons,
made his first speech as leader at ,he
annual conference of the Conservative
Associations of Great Britain at
Leeds.
Mr.. Law was welcomed with the
utmost enthusiasm by an immense
audience. His speech was straight
forward and businesslike, without
any remarkable oratory. He called
on the Unionists to turn out the gov
eminent, to fight against the disestab-
lishment of the Anglican church III
Wales and against home rule and Tor
the tariff. He made much of the gov
ernments absolute dependence upon
the Irish party and emphasized his
remarks by saying;
If there is one national ireland,
there are two which are separated
from each other far more acutely
than either is separated from the
English"
He urged a tariff as a means Of
raising the general level of wages.
Though he did not pretend that a tar
if was a cure for all evils he held
that it was a help for the greatest Of
them, namely, chronic rack OF EN-
ployment for the workIngmen.
Mr.. Law dwelt at length upon che
Canadian elections, paying a warm
tribute to eX-Premier Laurier as being
the first to give preference to Great
Britain and thereby setting an eXam-
pie to be followed by the other do
minions. His admiration for Laurier
was not abated jot when he reioiced
at the result of the elections. 1t was
an ignorant and impudent claim he
said, that the elections did not bear
on the cause Of preference. They
were and are an emphatic reminder
that reciprocity preference is the aim
of Great Britain's autonomous domin-
ions

RAlNEY SEEKS OTHER GAME.

NEW YORK, November 2l.-Paul
Rainey, who left this city February
for a three years hunting trip, has
completed his lion hunt in Africa and
will turn his attention to big game in
India, Borneo and the Malay archi-
pelago In a cablegram from johann
nesburg he reports having made some
big killings. He bagged twenty-siX
lions on single days hunt. The
choicest skins will be shipped to the
Smithsonian institution for preserva-
ton.
Contrary to predictions of expert
enced African hunters, Rainey achiey-
ed his greatest success by the use of
a pack of half breed mastiffs, which
faced the lions fearlessly.

BIG WORK DONE
BY CLEANUP MEN

Seyenty-two wagon loads of banana
stalks and stum'ps were hauled out of
apana one, Kaimuki, yesterday, and
dumped in low-lying places. Apana
two will be finished on Monday, ex.
cept for the digging of stumps.
During the last three days 572 loads
of rubbish have been hauled away, and
either dumped at the docks or else
into depressions that need filling up.
Much of the material is burnt before
it is touched by the wagons, and that
saves the hauling of lot of stuff that
is not useful for filling.
In addition to the loads mentioned,
100 loads of bottles. cans and other
household refuse have been carted
away.
DR.. Marshall is making a tour OF
inspection today and further work
among the cutters and awnings will
be planned as soon as the garbage
problem is settled.

COOL, CRISP WEATHER.

A lot of people pick the weekend as
the time for going out o. town be-
cause il gives them chance for a
long sleep in the morning and a GOOD
rest. On the other hand, those who
like mild athletic pastime go TO Haiei-
wa for the pleasure the links and the
tennis courts and the bathing affords.
On Thanksgiving Day there was the
better than usual rush by persons who
did not want the bother of preparing
dinner at home and some OF the party
remained to enjoy themselves to the
full. But there is no set time for
pleasure at Haleiwa. There is always
something doing and it is done well.
This applies to the meals and service
as well as to other things Trains on
the o. r. and l.. Co. will carry you to
the edge of the lawn.
