SHRINERS OFF FO DALLAS 10
Yaarab Temple Boosters, 200 Strong,
Leave Friday Night for Conven
tion-—Confident of Success.
I want to again express my appreciation for the assistance
of Mr. Hearst and his newspapers throughout the country. If
Atlanta gets the 1914 meeting Mr. Hearst and his papers will
be largely responsible.—POTENTATE FORREST ADAIR.
' ‘ The Imperial Council will
sonally I have no doubt of it.
Memphis has not. and we have ma
a fund of $76,000 in one day that
about.
“And we leave to-night for Dal-1
las bettor equipped to extend an
.invitation of this kind than any
city or Temple that has extended
a like invitation in a great num
ber of years. ’ ’
With this statement Forrest Adair,
potentate of Yaarab Temple, an
nounced Friday morning that every j
derail of the pilgrimage to the con
vention of the Imperial Council of ;
Shriners at Dallas, Tex., was com- i
plete and Atlanta’s delegation, nearly I
200 strong, would leave in a special
train over the Southern Railway at
10 o’clock Friday night.
Reach Dallas Sunday.
Early Sunday morning the Atlanta
pilgrims will have crossed the hot
sands and entered the Oasis of Dallas.
They will go into the city with their
coats on their arms, prepared to j
drown out any discordant note, from
Memphis, or anywhere for that mat
ter, with the now r familiar slogan:
“Atlanta, 1914.”
At Birmingham. Meridian, Shreve
port and a score of points along the
line, Atlanta boosters will hoard the
train, and go with the delegation to
Dallas to swell the total and bring
tlo c onvention to the Southeast next
Mr. Adair and his official delega-
iion, YY A. Foster, John A. Hynds
and Claude H. Hutcheson, of Jones
boro, will extend the invitation.
They will be fortified with official
invitations from the Mayor and City
Council and every trades organiza
tion in the city, as well as open con
tracts from every hotel in Atlanta,
assuring accommodations for as many
as 4,000 Shriners, the number ex
pected here next year.
No “Holdup” in Rates.
The beauty of the hotel contracts,
as explained by Mr. Adair, is . that
■“inauguration rates” will not be
charged.
“Only the regular rates." said Mr.
meet in Atlanta in 1914. Per-
We have hotel accommodations;
de a remarkable record in raising
every Shriner in America knows
Adair, “will be in force, and I have
with the contracts q, diagram of the
floor space indicating the room and
the regular rate. They won’t be able
to go above the rate, even if the hotel
men felt Inclined to.
“Memphis will not get the conven
tion, because it hasn’t got the hotels
«ind the Shriners know it,” said Mr.
Adair. “They’re building one now',
but it won’t compare with any of
*he nicer hotels already completed in
Atlanta, and as for the best hotels
there—Atlanta’s got better on the side
streets. This alone makes it doubly
sure we’ll get the convention, but
tf there’s any doubt the size of our
delegation removes it.”
The Arab Patrol of Yaarab Temple,
the crack drum corps. 40 strong, will
be a valuable asset of the Atlanta del
egation. It is an independent organ
ization formed by the temple for con
vention work and occasions that de
mand public appearance. It has a*-
tracted much attention at convention*
throughout the country.

DRUGGISTFLED IN TROOPS IN TURK
FEU If BOOTIES
rhought Recorder Would Send
Him to Stockade for Breaking
Garbage Ordinance.
A, S. Knight, manager of a Peters
Strhet drug store, teas convinced Fri
day that Recorder Nash Broyles is not
such a terror as lie had-pictured in his
mind.
Knigiit had never seen Judge
Broyles, but had heard and read so
much of him that when Sanitary In
spector Simpson cited, him to appear
in police court on a charge of violat
ing the garbage ordinance he was at
tacked with a severe case of fright.
Although an offense against the gar
bage laws draws only a small line,
Knight was tortured with the belief
that the Recorder would put him in
the stockade for about 30 days.
Therefore, instead of appearing in
court Tuesday, Knight fled the city
wish his two children. Dr. A. L. Cur
tis, preprietor of the drug store, final
ly ideated the missing manager in
Mhcwi and persuaded him to return
add surrender.
/Knight told Judge Broyles Thurs
day afternoon he fled because he was
“afraid." He was fined $5.75 in the
original garbage case and $10.75 for
dodging the court.

CAPITAL MUTINY
TO LIVE 100 YEARS
READ NEWSPAPERS,
SAYS CENTENARIAN
BOSTON. May 9.-—Ralph Butler,
of Dorchester, is 100 years old, and
to-da.v drew up a list of rules for
living a century, as follows:
Walk and take plenty of other
exercise
Read the newspapers to keep
your mind young.
Eat anything you want, but eat
to live, not live to eat, and eat reg
ularly.
Don’t take your office carep home
with you.
Get to bed early and regularly,
and 5 o’clock is not too early to
rise.
Two months ago Butler walkel
to city' hall and surprised the Col
lector of Taxes by paying th
amount due on the real estate he
holds.
“I’m just as well able to walk
to-day as I was twenty years ago, ’
he said. "I feel as active as when
40.”
Commander General of Ottoman
Army Uses Personal Guard
to Quell Uprising.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
CONSTANTINOPLE. May 9. Mu
tiny has developed in the Turkish
army stationed along the Chatalja
defenses, and It is feart‘d a revolu
tionary uprising will follow.
Seditious placards were posted in
the night throughout the Peroa and
Stamboul quarters of the city.
Enver Bey, chief of staff of the
Turkish army, is using hfs personal
bodyguard to patrol the <‘ity. The
guard consists of 700 picked and tried
troops.
Sultan Mohammed V did not attend
worship in the Yildiz mosque to-day.
Nicholas’ Surrender
Explanation Cheered.
CETTIN.IE, MONTENEGRO, May
9.—King Nicholas personally went be
fore the National Parliament to-day
and defended his action in giving
way to the powers on the question j
of the evacuation of Scutari. He
declared that annihilation inevitably
would have followed resistance.
The statement was well taken and
Nicholas was cheered.
Nearly all the Montenegrin troops
have now left Scutari. King Nicho
las feels keenly the humiliation of
losing Scutari, and it again is report
ed he will abdicate in favor of the
Crown Prince Danilo.

II GREAT STRAIN
Loans Heavy—New Securities a
Drain—Gold Shipments From
New York to Paris Deplored.
BY W. R. LAWSON.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, May 9.—Serious bank
ers do not look with favor upon the
renewal of gold shipments from New
York to Paris.
All of the big intermilional banks
appear to be loaned up to the danger
level, while the big new security is
sues that are coming along are bound
to strain banking credit and re
sources. This week four new issues
came out, and several more are in
preparation.
Brazil’s $55,000,000.
Brazil wants $55,000,000—$15,000,-
000 to be used for the repayment of
treasury biUs. Lever Brothers are
putting out $5,000,000 new' preference
shares, and Baltimore Gas $3,500,000.
United Fruit’s $12,000,000 four-year
coupon notes have been successfully
placed.
Between now and the end of the
month special settlements are due
which are likely to increase the de
mand for money.
s Situation in London.
Lombard Street is enjoying tem
porary ease owing to end-of-the-
month borrowing from the Bank -of
England, but large repayments w'ili
have to be jpiade within the next ffcw
days.
Further reduction in the English
bank rate is not expected immedi
ately. The Berlin rate is hardening,
and if Boerse speculation breaks
loose again, easy money may be a re
mote possibility.
Hitherto, while the war was in
progress European slocks have been
upheld by finance houses for tin
purpose of facilitating big loan is
sues which they were preparing lo
make later.
American Stocks Firmer.
Between September, 1912, and t*he
end of April. 1913, declines in Euro
pean stocks have generally been very
trifling, while American stocks suf
fered heavy declines.
From this it is reasoned that Amer
ican securities offer a better field for
a bull campaign.
Mrs. Wilson Picks
Rome Postmaster
Congressman Lee Agrees to Choice
of President’s Wife—Bowie
to Get Office.
WASHINGTON, May 9 Probably
the only bit of political patronage that
Mrs Woodrow' Wilson is to dictate
during her husband’s administration
was given her yesterday, when the
President sent for Representative
Gordon Lee, of Georgia, and told him
that Mrs. Wilson would like to name
the postmaster at Rome, her birth
place. The office is the most impor
tant in the Seventh District and pays
a salary of $3,500 a year
Mr. Lee told the President he would
be glad to yield to Mfs. Wilson. The
President said Mrs. Wilson would
probably name J. P. Bowie, an elderly
man who wan very fond of Mrs. YVIIj
son when she was a little girl. .\ir.
Lee said he would be glad to join in
indorsing him.
WRITERS DROP ‘BAD’ SONGS;
ALL WRITING BALLADS NOW
CHICAGO, May 9—Doom .sounded
to-day for the smut song. It struck
in “Tin Pan Alley,” where (he dens
of the popular song writers are lo
cated. The song writers hurriedly
are tnrowing together ‘‘clean stuff" in
an agony of decent competition. Every
writer in the block is pounding out'
ballad stuff.

Bride Revolts When
Treated Like Child
Mrs. Ada Garrett Quits Place in
Husband’s Family Circle to
Demand Divorce.
Mrs. Ada Davies Garrett, married
to Thomas Hoyt Garrett March 1,
1913, and separated the last day of
the month, filed a suit for divorce
with the Superior Court Friday, be
cause she said her husband wanted
her to live in his father’s home "just
like one of the children," and took
no other interest in her or her wel-
fa re.
The petitioner said that after the
first few r days of their married life,
her husband, a young engineer for
tbe Southern Railway, informed her
that she was to take her place in
his family circle Hist like his broth
ers and sisters.
NEGRO PUGILIST, TRIED AS
SLAVER, WINS FIRST RULING
CHICAGO, May 9 —Jack Johnson,
negro pugilist, won the first impor
tant point in his case to-day when
Judge Carpenter, hearing the negro’s
trial for violation of the white slave
diet, ruled that Belle Schreiber could
not tell of alleged cruelties on the
part of the black.
$25,000,000 INSURANCE
ON MORGAN ART WORKS
NEW YORK, May 9 A situation
almost without precedent in the in
surance market is reported as a re
sult of J. P. Morgan’s plan to insure
the $50,000,000 worth of art objects
left by his father. The $25,000,000
that is being taken by 250 American
and foreign insurance companies is
the largest amount sought in many
years upon a single risk.
It has been necessary to divide the
collection into two risks, one in the
old building of the Metropolitan mu
seum and the other in the new build
ing. effecting an average rate of
14 1 _• cents.
Scutari Saved From
Destruction by Fire.
VIENNA, May 9.—Scutari, the Al
banian city whose ownership nearly
brought Europe to war, was threat
ened with destruction by fire to-day.
A telegram from Cettinje said flames
broke out in the main bazaar and
owing to the absence of water and
fire lighting appliances, spread rap
idly.
A small troop of Montenegrin sol
diers put out the blaze after a dozen
buildings were destroyed.
500 STRIKERS IN BATTLE.
WINNIPEG, MAN., May 9.—Five
hundred strikers at the Canada Car
Company’s plant to-day fought a bat
tle with 180 strikebreakers. Several
of the strikebreakers were injured.
