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.

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.

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.
