First Meeting of Their Convention A REPRESENTATIVE BODY.| fe All the Delegates Look Prosperous—They March From the Arlington Hotel to the Builders’ Exchange, Escorted by the Local Committee—Addresses of Welcome. A rather piratical looking flag floated from the Builders’ Exchange building this morning. Upon the dark blue ground was the inscription, “Master Plumbers’ Association,” and it was in- tended as a notification to the public that the national association of plumbers was in session in the building. The device of an American flag in miniature in one corner served to allay any fears as to the peaceful character of the assem- blage, which was fully borne out by a glance at the delegates. It is seldom thats more repre- sentative gathering of the substantial,enterpris- ing business men of the country has sssembled here. It would be o fiat contradiction to the bright newspaper paragraphers to say that this Was not a gathering of rous looking men. It is true that diamonds did not glitter from every shirt front or sparkle on the hands of every delegate. ‘THEY LOOK WELD HEELED. But still there were enough of these glitter- ing ¢: to establish the reputation the plumbsrs enjoy of being well heeled.

R. G. Campbell, the president of the Washington Association of Plumbers, walked with the presi- dent of the national association. Mr. Camp- bell as the head of the local body has taken an active interest in the arrangements and in this he has had the hearty co-operation of the members of the association. ASSEMBLING OF THE DELEGATES. When the delegates filed into the hall and had taken their seats it was found that the seat- ng capacity was none too great to accommo- date all the delegates. It was estimated that there was nearly 300 delegates in attendance, which is one of the largest conventions that has been held in the ten years that the national as sociation has been in existence. PRESIDENT SHEEHAN CALLS TO ORDER. About 10:30 the convention was called to order by the president, Mr. Jétemiah Sheehan of St. Louis, The local association had placed on the table of the presiding officer a hand- some basket of flowers as compliment to the President, and the delegates gave him « welcome y a round of applause. Mr. Sheehan was chosen president during the year to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the president, Joseph A. McDonald. As vice president Mr, Sheehan succeeded to the office and has discharged the duties ever _ since. He is spoken of as likely to be re-elected at the present convention fora full term. The presi- dent introduced Mr. E. J. Hannsn, the chair- man of the local committee, and Mr. Hannan, with a few brief words, presented Commissioner Douglass to the convention. The latter ac- knowledged the welcome, which the delegates gave with s good deal of heartiness to the mayor of Washington, as Mr. Hannan informed them was really the equivalent position of the presi- dent of the bogrd of District Commissioners. Mr. Douglass, o& ‘usual, mado « bappy address, during which’he managed to mingle,with words of hospitable weloome, a number of facts of in- terest relative to the material growth and pros- perity of the city. a COMMISSIONER DOUGLASS’ WELCOME. Mr. Douglass spoke as follows: “It isan agreeable duty to welcome your association to the capital city of the nation.
