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 HEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, <iA„ SUNDAY, MAY 11, 11)13. ~ rr Sarah Bernhardt Would Have a Vote GONGRE 3 A +•* +•+ •!«#•!• A Great=Great=Grandmother Her Ideal . i | Sarah Bernhardt, looking as young as ever, and full of advice for Americans, as she appears r rencli Actress, However, Abuses on the New York struts.

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.

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 declined since 1910, according to the Department of Agriculture. Between May, 1910, and May 1, 1913, corn dropped from 63.5 cents a bushel to 56.8, wheat from 99.9 to 80.9. oats from 34.3 to 34.2. chickens from 12.4 to 11.8 cents a pound, eggs from 18.6 to 16.1 cents a dozen, and hay from $12.21 to $11.23 a ton.

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.
