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 rna
a fund of $76,000 in one day that
about.
“And we leave to-night for Dal
las better 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
detail of the pilgrimage to the con
vention of the Imperial Council of
Shriners at Dallas, Tex., was com
plete and Atlanta’s delegation, nearly
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, j
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 familiar slogan:
■'Atlanta, 1914.’’
At Birmingham. Meridian, Shreve
port and a score of points along the
line, Atlanta boosters will board the
train, and go with the delegation to
Dallas to swell the total and bring
the convention to the Southeast next
year.
Mr. Adair and his official delega
tion. W. 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 he in force, and I.have
with the contracts a 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
«md the Shriners know it.w said Mr.
Adair. "They’re building one now.
but it won’t compare with any of
the 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
•f there’s any doubt the size of our
delegation removes it.”
The Arab Patrol of Yaarab Temple,
the crack drum corps. 40 strong. wMl
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 at
tracted much attention at conventions
throughout the country.

TO LIVE 100 YEARS
READ NEWSPAPERS,
SAYS CENTENARIAN
BOSTON, May 9.— Ralph Butler,
of Dorchester, is 100 years old, and
to-day 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 cares horn**
with you.
Get to bed early and regularly,
and 5 o’clock is not too early to
rise.
Two months ago Butler walkei
to city hall and surprised the Col
lector of Taxes by paying the
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. “1 feel as active as when
40.’’
DRUGGIST FLED II
FEU OF BROWS
Thought Recorder Would Send
Him to Stockade for Breaking
Garbage Ordinance.
A. S. Knight, manager of a Peter.--
Street drug store, was convinced Fri
day that Recorder Nash Broyles is not
such a terror as he had pictured in his
mind.
Knight 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 fine.
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 Tuesdax. Knight fled the city
with his txvo children. Dr. A. L. Cur
tis. proprietor of the drug store, final
ly ’ located the missing manager in
Macon and persuaded him to return
and surrender.
Knight told Judge Broyles Thurs
day afternoon he fled because he was
•'afraid." He was fined S5T75 in the
original, garbage case and $10.75 fur
dodging the'eourt.

Explanation Cheered.
CETTtN.rE. MONTENEGRO, May
9.—King Nicholas personally went be

and defended his action in giving
way to the powers on the question
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.

Mr. Lee told the President he would

BECINS TO SHOW
A 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 l'avor upon the
renewal of gold shipments from New
York to Paris.
All of the big international banks
appear to be loaned up to the danger
level, while the big new security is
sues that are coming along arc bound
to strain banking credit and rt
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 bills. Lever Brothers are
putting out $5,000,000 new preference
shares, and Bgltimor^ Gas $3,500,000.
United Fruit’s $12,00D,O0<> 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.
Situation in London.
Lombard Street is enjoying tem
porary ease owing to end-oj-the-
month borrowing from the Bunk of
England, but large repayments will
have to be made within the next few
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 stocks have been
upheld by finance houses for the
purpose of facilitating big loan is
sues which they were preparing to
make later.
American Stocks Firmer.
Between September. 1912, and tin-
end of April. 1913, declines in Euro
pean stocks have generally been very
trifling, while American stocks suf
fered heavy dec-lines.
From this it is reasoned that Amer
ican securities offer a better field for
a bull campaign.
$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% cents.
WRITERS DROP ‘BAD’ SONGS;
ALL WRITING BALLADS NOW
CHICAGO. May 9.—Doom sounded
to-day for the smut scog. It struck
in “Tin Pan Alley,” v/tiere the dens
of the popular song writers are lo
cated. The song writers hurriedly
are throwing together “clean stuff” in
an agony of decent competition. Every
writer in the block is pounding out
ballad stuff.

with the Superior Court Friday, be
cause she said her husband wanted

like one of the children," and took

The petitioner said that after the

the Southern Railway, informed her
that she was to take her place in
his family circle just like hip broth
ers and sisters.

VIENNA, May 9.—Scutari, the Al
