ADAIR AND IDE ATLANTA
SEEKING 1914 CONVENTION
Gate City Partisans Are Armed With
Abundant Ammunition in the Way
of Argument, and the Folks Back
Home Await News of the Victory.
HERE ARE TEN REASONS
WHY ATLANTA SHOULD
OETTHE1914CONVENTION
BECAUSE Atlanta is a city of almost 200,000 inhabitants, cov
ering 30 square miles of territory; is the capital of the
Empire State of the South, and wants to entertain the
Imperial Council.
BECAUSE Atlanta has ample hotel accommodations for at
least 30,000 visitors, and high-class boarding and apart
ment house accommodations for as many more.
BECAUSE Atlanta has the largest Auditorium in the South—
an ideal place for the Imperial Council sessions.
BECAUSE Atlanta is the greatest city in the East and Central
South, aptly and significantly dubbed “The Chicago of
Dixie. ’ ’
BECAUSE Atlanta is one of the most beautiful cities in the
nation—a city of lovely homes, magnificent thoroughfares
and enchanting byways.
BECAUSE Atlanta’s manufacturing enterprises are more di
versified than anywhere else in the South, thus affording
visitors a comprehensive view of the industrial South.
BECAUSE Atlanta, by voluntary subscriptions from its citi
zens of all glasses, has raised an entertainment fund of
100,000, to be applied to the Imperial Council gathering.
BECAUSE Atlanta is the pioneer Shrine city in the South,
and numbers among its citizenship the flower of Georgia
manhood.
BECAUSE Atlanta’s fame as a convention city and a city of
marked Southern hospitality is nation-wide, and the Im
perial Council would be taken care of here as it seldom
has been taken care of anywhere.
BECAUSE the famous “Atlanta spirit” never has permitted
this city to fail in any undertaking, and is a final guarantee
that the session of the Imperial Council will be a tre
mendous success if held in the Gate City of the South.
"We go In peace, and we shall
will agree,
Es selamu aleikum!
Liberally translated, that
return with the bacon!" ,
All of which Islam the truth, as every good Shriner
right off the reel.
{' Otherwise, may Nemesis overtake him!
So long as Forrest Adair holds on to the rope, which never yet has
he turned loose before turning loose time, all will be well.
The Atlanta Shrine, Yaarab Temple, abundantly equipped either
for a frolic or a fight, but altogether anticipating the former, arrived in
Dallas, Texas this morning.
It is there to attend the 39th annual session of the Imperial Cduncil
of the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine of
North America.
It also is there to invite the imperial Council to meet in Atlanta
next year.
The session of the Imperial Copn
cil opens in Dallas on Monday morn
ing, May 12. and continues through
Thursday. May 15.
It will be attended by approxi
mately forty thousand Shriners, and
their families. It will bring into Dal
las the biggest crowd that fine city
ever entertained,* and it will be a
crowd fashioned of the flower of
American citizenship, from one end
of the nation to the other.
Yaarab Temple will lose no time
'extending its invitation to the Im
perial Council to meet in Atlanta .next
year.
The invitation will be backed by
an abundance of cordiality and assur
ance of Southern hospitality—and a
3100,000 guarantee fund, just to in
sure the putting of the little pot in
the big one when the Nobles come
to town!
Forrest Adair, Illustrious Poten
tate of Yaarab, heads the Georgia
delegation to Dallas.
All Shriners Know Adair.
Every wearer of the scimitar and
the cre'stent in this country knows
Forrest Adair, either in persqn or by
reputation. Wherever the red fez
of Shrinedom is known, there the
name of E'orrest Adair is a household
word.
Not a great white ago, E’orrest
Adair began thinking about the pos
sibility of bringing next' year's Im
perial Council to Atlanta. The more
he thought of the idea, the better he
liked it.
Could Atlanta get it? Could At
lanta handle it, after it got it? Thus-
wise, most scathingly, did Forrest
Adair inquire of himself.
Having examined himself, cross
examined himself, and redirectly ex
amined himself, E’orrest Adair hand
ed in a verdict of guilty—Atlanta
could do both things, and would!
Then Tie called ih Nobles Robert
F. Maddox, E’rederick Paxon, John
Hyndes, and Joe Greenfield, and he'
asked them how about it.
The verdict of the 4 Adair court of
original jurisdiction was affirmed.
Xoble Maddox gave it as his opin
ion that Atlanta could do anything.
Xoble Hynds ruled that Atlanta
would do anything it wanted to do,
and Noble Greenfield handed down a
decision to the effect that Atlanta
always had done everything it under
took. Noble Paxon said he thought
so to.
It was agreed that not less than
$70,000 would have to be raised, if
the invitation was to be extended. It
was not asked whether that sum
could be raised,—it merely was asked
in how short a time might it be sub
scribed.
It was decided to put a twelve-
hour limit upon Atlanta’s most gen
erous enterprise.
Before nightfall of the following
day the sum agreed upon was sub
scribed, and more! In all it touch
ed the grand total of $100,000!
Hotels Are Examined.
Then Forrest Adair began to look
into the most vital point in the sit
uation, once the possibility of invit
ing the Imperial Council had been
resolved into a certainty—the ques
tion of hotel accommodation.
Could Atlanta, with its 200,000 pop
ulation. properly care for some 50,000
visitors, and particularly of such a
c haracter as a session of the Imperial
Council would insure?
To get at the exact truth of that
question required more than twelve
hours’ work.
Statistics, facts and figures, were
obtained from every hotel, and first-
class boarding houses in the city, now
operating, or that might be opened
to the visitors.
The result of this investigation was
most satisfactory. Atlanta easily
can take care of the visiting Shrin
ers—every one in comfort, and thou
sands in such extremes of luxurious
ness as they may choose.
It now remains only for the At
lantans in Dallas, to press the but
ton, and bring home the bacon!
Does anybody in Atlanta doubt that
Forrest Adair and his Nobles will
fail of that undertaking?
It were treason to suggest it! It
were a high crime and misdemeanor
even to hint it!
Have these people, bearing abroad
the enthusiasm, the honor, the pro-
gressiveness of Atlanta, standing
sponsors for that far-famed "Atlan
ta spirit.” which has moved mighty
mountains of obstruction in the past,
ever failed?
Not that anybody ever has noticed
—and these Yaarab Nobles of the
Mystic Shrine are not going to beg
that unworthy and un-Atlantaesque
business in Dallas.
And what are some of the rea

Your American food is abominable. You have
no respect for your stomachs.
The Cubists are stupid.
The American women neglect their complexions.
In a generation their faces will be mottled and
leathery.
A woman’s life must have romance to be happy.
NEW YORK, May 10.—Sarah Bernhardt wants to j
vote. Bui she would rather be a great-great-grand
mother.
With the illusion of youth clinging about her slen
der figure, she is again in Am ‘rlca, 70 years old and
divine, braving the eighth ‘‘farewell” tour with a ready
laugh and a lightness of speech that she did not affect |
in the days of yore. And she will laugh and laugh and
remain young, she declared to her interviewers, in the
hope that she will become a great-great-grandmother.
“The thing that shall keep me young and give me
love and Joy of life is that hope,” she sighed. “Ah, it
is too beautiful.”
And with that sigh the divide Sarah drifted from the
realms of levity into seriousness, and proceeded to read
to every woman her duty.
Woman Should Be Mother.
“The greatest thing a woman can do for herself and
for her country is to be a mother,” ehe said. “And
think how much greater is her happiness to experience
with the same fresh sweetness and hope and expecta
tion the coming of a grandchild and a great-grand
child, as I have done.”
And, at that, they were talking about woman suf
frage at the same time. But it is greater to be a moth
er, she said.
“Oh. I believe in the vote for women.” she explained.
“For all men and for all women. But not at the sacri
fice of the home."
And not, she declared emphatically, at the cost of
militant methods. With her eyes gleaming fiercely, she
said she would starve the insistent suffragettes who go
to the extremest methods.
“I despise these militants,” she announced. “If I
had my way I would starve them. But It is true that
women should have a right to vote. And they will, in
ten years. Wait.”
“I have nine men servants. I am their superior in
every imaginable way.”
She is. There was no doubt about, it as she stood
there, perfect in array, in complexion, in grace.
Cub Sighs, Too.
Even a cub reporter, a very young and pink man,
was impelled to sigh his admiration.
“How do you do it. at 70?” he asked.
The divine one was moved to appreciative laughter
at the boy's unwitting question.
“Ah, you Americans,” she said. “You are too gal
lant, like our young countrymen.
“But, to be serious,” she went on, 'T think there is
no secret. If there is, I believe I should call it work.
Work and plenty of sleep. Cheerfulness. Properly
cooked food, and not too much fresh air.”
Then she proceeded to express her very determined
views on American cooking and on American women.
There was a tone of disgust in her silvery voice when
she talked of the great American cuisine.
“What is it you Americans eat that you call food?"
she asked. "It is abominable. No salt, no pepper;
all grease and little dishes that annoy one. You are
a great people, but you have no respect for your
stomachs." ^
“Perhaps," it was suggested, “madame will honor the
United States by leaving behind the recipe for her fav
orite dish."
Great Bernhardt Recipe.
“By all means.” she laughed. “I am a great cook.
Listen. I will tell you how to prepare sauvlgne. Take
a sauvigne, which is a small sea bird, stuff it with
crushed larks, grapes, currants dnd juniper berries;
wrap it in grape leaves and roast it before a slow lire
upon a spit made from a willow’ wand. Let it be re
moved from the fire while the flesh is still pink. Use
plenty of salt and pepper, and you have a dish fit for
the gods.”
The great one concluded her recital of this ethereal
recipe w’ith an upward roll of her eyes, and a gentle
suspiration that was almost a sigh, and the general
attitude of delectable delight.
Then, with almost the same breath, she said that
the Cubists are stupid, and that American women neg
lect their complexions.
“Why are American women so neglectful?” .she ask
ed. “Cream and pills are cheap. Not once a day, but
many times a day I cream or oil my face and mas
sage it. You see?” And she held her face to the light
proudly. •
“Now’ I have noticed that American women drink
too much and eat too much. Cocktails, highballs and
beer are bad for the complexion. In a generation the
faces of your women will be mottled and leathery.”
Then she completed her symposium of useful and in
teresting information.
Never Marry Younger Man.
■T want to say, too,” she added, “that no woman
shpuld marry a man younger than herself. I think it
is a fatal blunder to do so, especially if the woman
has passed 40.”
Valuable.
“There must always be romance in a woman's life
if she would keep young and happy and useful. There
must be an intellectual response and a spiritual com
munity of souls as well as a human interest between
the woman who would live her life fully and finely,
and that response must be masculine.”
And with a wave of her hand and that fascinating
smile w’hich has kept her young at 70, the Divine Sarah
flitted away.
sons tfhy the Imperial Council should
come to Atlanta next year?
Because there isn’t a Shriner in
the United States w ho has not heard
of Atlanta, and who doesn’t know’
that it is the greatest city of the
Southeastern section of the nation,
and who wouldn’t be glad to visit it,
either for the first time in his life
or the ’umpsteenth, as the case may
be.
Because, Atlanta Is the most inter
esting city in the Southeast. Its lo
cation is ideal, from a climatic stand
point, for a May session of any body
of men. large or small, and particu
larly suited for the annual gather
ing of the supreme organization of
the Shrine in America,
Because Atlanta has 35 high-class
hotels, capable of accommodating,
with ease, 30.000 transients, or more.
And because it has first-class board
ing houses that may accommodate
not less than an additional 30,000
visitors. 3esides these ample hotel
accommoda :ions, there k? railroad
yard room, In and very near the city,
where scores of Pullman cars may
be parked, if desirable.
Because Atlanta has one of the
largest auditoriums in the South, with
a seating capacity of 8,000, wherein
every yeir the Metropolitan Grand
Opera CcCnpany, of New York, ap
pears in {repertoire of complete pro
ductions./ Atlanta is the only city
in the Ufiited States, outside of New
York, tiAt ever hears the Metropoli
tan Gratd Opera Company, notwith
standing the fact that attempts to
have thf concerts in other cities have
been xAade, time and again. This
auditorium may be used for the Im
perial Council session, if the beauti
ful new local Masonic Temple is too
smali. 1
Because Atlanta is a city wherein
the industrial South may be looked
into by those who care to take the
time more advantageously than any
other Southern ity. Its industries
are more diversified, and its business
interests more general. It is neither
an “iron” city nor “cotton” city, nor
a “luynber” city specifically; but it is
enough of all these and more to
show w’hat can tye done in this section
in every line of industry.
Because Atlanta is one of the most
beautiful ci.ics in the world. Its
business heart of steel and its bul
ling thoroughfares and hue;’ man-,
have caused it to be called the “Chi
cago of the South,’ while its far-
famed Peachtree Street has been
compared time and again w’ith Cleve
land’s wonderful Euclid Avenue, in
point of genuine loveliness and home
like appeal.
Citizenship Is Enterprising.
Because its citizenship is the most
enterprising in all Dixie, and Its
amazing and result-getting "Atlanta
spirit” has brought it a quality of
unique fame as broad as the nation
itself. The Shriners of the United
States will enjoy a visit to this
Southern city, a village literally shot
to pieces in the ’60s, to-day the glory
of the Eastern and Central South.
Because its generous hospitality is
a happy and established fact that
always may be depended upon. If
the Imperial Council comes to At
lanta. it will want to come again.
Everybody who comes to Atlanta
wants to come again—and sooner or
later he generally does.
Because, Shriners know that Atlan
ta is the city that first brought
Shrinedom to the South. It was here
that the great order got its first firm
foothold in Dixie. Every Shriner has
heard of Yaarab Temple, and its
magnificent history. Every Shrim r
who loves the order—and that is
every Shriner who wears a fez.-—
knows that Yaarab has kept the faith
from the infancy of the organization
to Its strong manhood of to-day.
And because* the Imperial Council
must know that a city responding
so readily to the very suggestion of
the 'Imperial Council's meeting in
its midst next year is necessarily a
city that will make the meeting a
memorable one.
Yaarab Temple journeyed from At
lanta to Dallas in a sumptuous .spe
cial train, composed entirely of Pull
mans.
This train, dining car and special
kitchen car, is parked in Dallas, and
a portion of the party is quartered
therein for the Imperial Council ses
sion.
No mor ■ representative delegation
ever left Atlanta to attend a conven
tion or gathering of any kind any
where than the one now in Dallas
attending the Imperial Council.
Yaarab Temple numbers among its
membership the 'highest type of cit
izens Atlanta and Georgia boasts, co-
ci illv, professionally, or otherwise. Its
roll is made up of bankers, merchant?,
law’yers, brokers, ministers, physi
cians, editors, manufacturers, real
estate dealers, capitalists, and lead
ers in every line of endeavor imag
inable. 4
Its guarantee fund of $100,000 was
subscribed to by every class, rich and
poor, prominent or modestly obscure.
All Atlantans, whether members of
the local Shrine or not, joined with
enthusiasm in the movement to bring
the Imperial Council here next year.
Subscriptions to the necessary
guarantee fund ran all the way from
25 cents to $1,000 each, and the 25-
cent subscribers were just as loyal
and patriotic in the love of Atlanta
as were the big fellows.
The delegation in Dallas with that
invitation for next year is there
backed by a solid and compact cit
izenship at home, wishing its rep-
re ;*ontatives abroad good luck, and
confidently expecting it to come home
with everything It went after, and
probably more.
That’s Atlanta's way. When it
makes up its mind, it makes it up
in every possible direction.
The Atlanta Delegation.
The Yaarab Special left Atlanta
Friday night, by way of the South
ern Railway, at 10 o’clock, and ar
rived in Dallas this morning at 5
o’clock. Short stops* were made at
Meridian. Jackson and Vicksburg.
Returning, the Atlanta party will
leave Dallas Thursday night at 8
o’clock, arriving in Atlanta Saturday
night at 9:20. On the return trip,
a short but delightful side trip to Hot
Springs will be made.
Besides the official delegation from
Yaarab Temple, the entire Yaarab
Patrol, forty strong, and the Yaarab
Drum Corps, thirty strong. i£ in Dal
las. About 200 Atlanta Shriners are
at larere In Texas to-day.
The meeting ol the Imperial Coun
cil of the Mystic Shrine in North
America is* the biggest annual evert
in Shrinedom. These sessions always
arc attended by crowds* running from
25,000 to 50,000.
Atlanta, although one of the vet
eran Shrine c ities in the nation, never
yet has entertained the Imperial
Council. It has gone after that dis
tinguished gathering for next year
with characteristic determination and
vim. however, and'there seems to b
little if any doubt that the invitation
is to be accepted.
Secretary Rodfield’s Headgear
But One of Many Jokes in
Washington Just Now.
WASHINGTON, May 10.—There
have been many kinds of hats, but
the latest Is what members of Con
gress are humorously describing as
"the Bombay Derby.”
According to Representative Wil
liam B. Greene, a veteran Republican
member from Massachusetts, William
C. Redfield, Secretary of the Depart
ment of Commerce, is the discoverer
of this particular style of headgear.
At any rate, this is the story Mr.
Greene told to House members to
day:
Some years ago Mr. Redfield went
to Bombay to sell blowers and cap
tured many orders for his goods. So
successful was his mis-sion, in fact,
according to the Greene version, that
Mr. Redfield is always asking export
ers desirous of extendinr their for
eign trade: "Have you tried Bom
ba y ?”
’ Secretary Redfield," remarked Mr.
Greene, “wants to extend our foreign
commerce. ’ There can be no doubt of
that. He was discussing the matter
with a maker of derby hats.
•“Where do you sell most of your
product?' asked Mr. Redfield. “‘Weil,'
was the response, we sell heavily in
England, but can“t get Into other
countries because of the tariffs.’
“‘Ah. my friend,' exclaimed Mr.
Redfield, slapping the caller on the
knee, ‘have you tried Bombay?’
“ ‘Yes,’ said the Connecticut man.
we have tried Bombay. Over there,
under their form of religious worship,
the men wear turbans, and they
wouldn’t know what to do with deray
hats if you presented a ship load to
them.’ ”
Broken Engagement
Denied by Senator
J. H. Brady, of Idaho, Says That He
and Mary Daley Were Never
Anything But Friends.
ST. PAUL, MINN.. May 10.—The
engagement of Miss Alice Lorraine
Daly, of St. Paul, to United States
Senator James H. Brady, of Idaho, has
been broken “by mutual consent," ac
cording to an announcement made
here. Her sister, Miss Mary Daly,
to-night declined to disclose th *
cause of the break. Miss Daly her
self is at present studying in the
EmeiHon School of Oratory in Bos
ton.
The breaking of the engagement
brings to a close a romance which be
gan four years ago in Pocatell >,
Idaho, where Miss Daly was teaching
school. Pocatello Is the home of Sena
tor Brady, who was at that time Gov
ernor of Idaho.
WASHINGTON. May 10.—Senator
James H. Brady, of Idaho, said to
night with reference to the dispatch
from St. Paul that Miss Daly, of that
city, had announced that her engage

broken: “There is no engagement and
there never has bfen an engagemen*. ’

.UNDERWOOD BOOM FOR 1916
LAUNCHED BY HIS FRIENDS
WASHINGTON, May 10—Repre-
sentative Oscar W. Underworld’s
friends have started to boom him for
the Presidential nomination in 1916.
They claim that tariff bills have made
Presidents and that Underwood will
come to the front on the bill that
passed the House.
His supporters are backing Under
wood in the belief that President
Wilson will abide by the Baltimore
convention platform, which declared
in favor of a single term.
ORANGE, N. J., COUNCIL
TO VIEW SEWAGE PLANTS
The twelve members of the City
Council of Orange, N. J., ^ill reach
Atlanta Monday to inspect Atlanta’s
new sew’age disposal system. Or
ange contemplates building a simi
lar system. The Mayor of Orange
was here some months ago.
Chief of Construction R. M. Clay
ton, Council’s Sewer Committee, and
Mayor Woodward will conduct the
party of visitors to the three plants
in automobiles.
In the operation of the new dog
muzzling ordinance, which Mayor
Woodward yesterday vetoed but ex
pects Council to pass anyway, the
Mayor sees a humorous scenario for
the motion picture people. Quoting
the ordinance, “It shall be the duty
of the police to arrest and take down
to the police station any and all un
muzzled stray dogs,” Mayor Wood
ward gave this word picture of the
police in action.
“A bench-legged dog, strolling
around the Brookwood neighborhood,
will be spied by the policeman on
that beat. He will call for the patrol.
That (log will start towards Buck-
head, but seeing he Is being over
taken, will take to the woods. A
foot race through the w’oods will en
sue. Four policemen may catch him
after a half hour’s run and the use
of $4 worth of gasoline—more or less.
Then there will be a trial before
Judge Broyles."
PRICES PAID TO PRODUCER
HAVE DECLINED MANY YEARS
WASHINGTON, May 10.—Despite
the steady increase in the cost of liv
ing for years, the prices received by
the producer of food have generally

CIGARETTE SMOKING BARS
BOYS FROM SCHOOL HONORS
MILWAUKEE, WIS., May 10 —
Cigarette smoking by boys in the lo

assert that the effect of smoking on
the boy’s mind is such as to bar him
from such class honors.
FQHBOND ISSUE
Council Leaders Set $1,500,000
as Amount for Park and
Sewer Improvement.
A bond issue election for sewer and
park improvement in Atlanta this fall
is assured, Council leaders declared
yesterday. Councilman Albert Thom
son’s resolution creating a special
committee to report on the details of
an election will be adopted at the
next meeting of Council. Plans for
submission to the people will rapidly
be worked out.
The prevailing opinion among of
ficials Is that the issue should not be
for more than $t,50o,000. the major
ity of the amount to be spent on sew
ers and parks. With the t/unk sewer
system completed it Is argued that
the County Commissioners would be
able to use more convicts on street
work.
Strong effort^ will he made to
arouse the people to the needs of
this bond issue, as It will take two-
thirds of the registered vote to adopt
il.
RAILROAD VALUATION WORK
FAILURE, SAYS LAF0LLETTE
MADISON. WIS., May 10.—Work of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
in making a valuation of railroad
property in the United States will be
a failure, according to Senator La-
Follotte, unless the work is done un
der the supervision of an economist.
In the current number of his maga
zine he declares that the investiga
tion by the tariff board and the In
quiry into the Steel Corporation con
ducted by the Bureau of Corporations
were unsatisfactory, because not un
der such direction.
The reason for the supervision he
demands is given in the statement
that engineers give values “from the
viewpoint of profit which private in
terests can secure from the public.”
The economist deals, he says, with
“the just relation between public in
terest and private interest.”
‘loveyTeans’ fourth
DIVORCE SUIT ENTERED
NEW YORK, May 10.—Florence H.
F. Lean, known on the stage as Flor
ence Holbrook, has begun a fourth
suit for divorce from Cecil W. S.
Lean in the Supreme Court.
This action was instituted because
Mrs. Lean failed to prove her case in
the other cases, the first of which was
brought a little over a year ago. The
initial suit was a great surprise to the
theatrical world, for the reason that
the pair had been known as the
"lovey dovey Leans” since they were
married, September 21, 1902.
Mr. and Mrs. Lean became
estranged In Kansas City in 1911, and
it was shortly after this that the wife
asked the courts to free her. The
suits followed in rapid succession, the
last being brought on April 7 last.
DOGS OUTWEIGH CHILDREN
IN AMERICA, SAYS WOMAN
MILWAUKEE. WIS., May 10.—Miss
Lutie E. Stearns, speaking at the
State Mothers’ Convention, declared
that the real reason for the frequent
“busting” of American families was
the desire of the American man to be
a father and the preference of the
wives to lavish their attention an
dogs.
“Another patent factor,” she add
er, “against the holy trinity of father,
mother and child is woman’s ambition
for a career—the gospel of individual
