SHRINERS OFF TO DALLAS TO
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 meet in Atlanta in 1914. Per
sonally I have no doubt of it. We have hotel accommodations;
Memphis has not- and we have made a remarkable record in raising
a fund of $76,000 in one day that every -Shriner in America knows
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.
They will go into the city with their
coats on their arms, prepared to
drown out any discordant note, from
Adair, “will be 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
snd the Shriners know it.” 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’a 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 organi
sation 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.
Members of the Patrol.
The patrol is as follows:

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.
Fat 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 walkcl
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.”
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 ^im
thaf Mrs. W’ilson 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 Mrs. Wilson. The
President said Mrs. Wilson would
probably name J. P. Bowie, an elderly
man who was very'fond of Mrs. Wil
son when she was a little girl, Mr.
Lee said he woifld be glad to Join in
indorsing him.
Memphis, or anywhere for that mat- tenant H. C. Ashford, Second Lieuten-
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
acted 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.
ant F. E. Van der Veer, First Ser
geant C. W. Ferguson, Quartermaster
H. H. Milner and Patrolmen Albert

o’clock and arrive in Atlanta the even
ing of Mav 17.
The Atlanta Dodge of Elks has
pledged the Shriners its enthusiastic
support in the effort to bring the
Shrine here next year. Exalted Ruler
Dunne has written the Shriners that
the Elks’ home will be wide open to
all visitors if the great meeting comes
here.

DRUGGIST FLED IN
FOB OF BROYLES
Thought Recorder Would Send
Him to Stockade for Breaking
Garbage Ordinance.
A. S. Knight, manager of a Peters
ireet drug store, was convinced Fri-
iy that Recorder Nash Broyles Is not
ich a terror as he had pictured in his
ind. T J
Knight had never seen Judge
royles, but had heard and read so
uch of him that when Sanitary In
jector Simpson cited him to appear
police court on a charge of violat-
ig the garbage ordinance he was at-
teked with a severe case of fright,
lthough an offense against the gar
age laws draws only a small tine,
night was tortured with the belief
■at the Recorder would put him in
ip stockade for about 30 days.
Therefore, instead of appearing in
->urt Tuesday. Knight fled the city
ith his two children. Dr. A. L. Cur-
s proprietor of the drug store, final-
' located the missing manager in
iacon and persuaded him to return
od surrender.
Knight told Judge Broyles Thurs-
iy afternoon lie fled because lie was
ifraid." He was fined $6.75 i_n the
-iginal garbage case and $10.75 for
odgihg the court.

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 feared 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 his personal
bodyguard to patrol the city. The
guard consists of 700 picked and tried

Nicholas’ Surrender
Explanation Cheered.
CETTINJE, 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
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.
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 fighting appliances, spread rap
idly.
A small troop of Montenegrin sol
diers put out the blaze after a dozen
buildings were destroyed.

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 favor 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 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 bills. 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.
Situation in London.
Lombard Street is enjoying tem
porary ea^e owing to end-of-the-
month borrowing from the Bank 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 Stock* Firmer.
Between September, 1912, and the
end of April. 1913, declines in Euro
pean stocks have generally been very
trifling, while American stocks suf
fered heavy declines.
From tiiis.lt is reasoned that Amer
ican securities offer a better field for
a bull campaign.

$25,000,000 INSURANCE
ON MORGAN ART WORKS

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

ing, effecting an average rate of
14*4 cents.
