THE WEATHER.
Forecast for Atlanta and
Georgia — Occasional local
showers Wednesday and prob
ably Thursday.
To Atlanta will come the next an
nual conclave of the Imperial Council
of the Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles
of the Mystic Shrine.
For the Gate City tlie Shriner*'
convention of 1914 has been won, and
to the members of the Yaarab Tem
ple belong the honors for this signal
triumph.
In the forefront of the battle \s ith
other contenders for the honor of en
tertaining the Shriners were Illus
trious Potentate Forrest Adair. Past
Potentate John A. Hynds, Claude H.
Hutcheson, W. A Foster, Joseph C.
Greenfield. Robert L. Golding and Im
perial Outer Guard E. A. Cutts, of Sa
vannah To these public-spirited cit
izens will go ihe plaudits of the city
for their noble work
Plan Wtlcome to Yaarabs.
With flags flying and banners wav
ing. Atlanta will give herself over to
the victorious army of Yaarab Shrin.
ers on their triumphant return home.
And the band will play “Lo. the Con
quering Heroes Come.”
Quickly following upon the flash
of victory from Dallas, preparations
for a gala reception to Atlanta
brigade were set on foot. No time Is
to he lost. When the Yaarab delega
tion with drum corps and patrol ar
rive on their special train, probably
Sunday morning, they will he met by
a reception than which there hao
been no than-w hicher." Probablynot
until the city bedecks itself for the
conclave w hich has just been won for
it will such elaborate preparations be
made as those now under way to
greet the returning victors.
Thousands to Greet Victors.
Thousands of persons, banked In
every street, will meet the special
upon its arrival at the Terminal Sta
tion. The cheers which will arise in
plaudit of their triumph will rend the
air and the enthusiasm will be given
Impetus, if such is possible, by the
patriotic music to eminate from half
a dozen bands.
Already the preparations have met
with the unanimous and hearty sup
port of Atlanta merchants and busi
ness men. The men who in the short
interval of 24 hours raised more than
$76,000 to win from Memphis the next
Shriners’ convention, will do as much
more, if necessary, compliment to the
fighters who carried the city's ban
ner to victory at Dallas.
And Everybody’* Happy.
The prospect of the coming of the
vast throng of Shriners next year has
caused great jubilation everywhere.
Judging from the tremendous suc
cess of the conclave at Dallas, the
probability is that there will be more
than 60,000 who will attend the At
lanta meeting. In Dallas there are
50,000 visitors. 15.000 of that number
being Shriners. Owing to this city’s
accessibility, it is • xpected that fully
10,000 more will be attracted here

Buffalo, Entering as Dark Horse, and
Recommended by Committee,
Makes Vain Race; Adair and Aides
Praised by All F'or Their Fine Work
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
DALLAS, TEX., May 14.—Atlanta came through with bells
on to-day. winning next year's ittipe.ciaL/'Oimwl meeting, notwith
standing ihe fact, that at the last, moment, an effort was made to
sidetrack her and break up her hopes. The committee appointed
yesterday by the Imperial Potentate reported in favor of Buffalo,
much to everybody's surprise, as that town was entered as a dark
horse at the last moment.
The fight was carried to the floor and Atlanta won by the fol
lowing vote:
Atlanta, 230.
Buffalo, 85.
Memphis, 69.
Korrest Adair and his faithful Yaarabs, after one of the finest,
campaigns ever waged in behalf of Atlanta, will ' bring home the
bacon " even as he promised.
‘ ‘ATLANTA SPIRIT’ ’ AGAIN WINS.
The things that put Atlanta over in this tight were, first of
all, iliat inagnificen Atlanta spirit hich raised well along toward
$100,000 for the entertainment of the Imperial Council before a
owrd of invintion as extended; second, he mos intelignt and tire
less work put forth in Atlanta's behalf by Forrest Adair and his
co-workers.
Adair hardly has slept sjnee he arrived in Dallas. His one
idea at all times has been lo win the fight for next year's meeting.
He is the best known Shriner in the South. He has been a regular
attendant upon imperial council sessions for eighteen years, and
knew good and well how most effectively and most intelligently to
proceed with the work outlinel for him here.
1 doubt that any other individual in Georgia could so surely
have led this fight to a successful finish and with so few mistakes
along the way. Of course, here is glory for all, and glory enough
to go round, but the major slice of it is Adair’s.
TO REACH HOME SUNDAY.
The Atlanta party will divide into two squads, one part going
on a short tour of Texas, the other returning home by way of Hot
Springs, Aik.
Potentate Adair and his party probably will reach Atlanta
Sunday morning. By to-morrow morning Dallas will resemble
nothing so much as a deserted banquet hall, hut congratulating it
self upon one of the most acceptable bunches of good fellows it
ever saw gathered together anywhere.
Potentate Adair’s final message to his home town is:
"The victory is ours, as we promised ourselves it shoulsd be.
Now let all loyal Atlantaus get ready to make next year's session
of the imperial council the very best and most enjoyable it ever
has known. It can he done, and it will be done, for to do it that
wav is to do it Atlanta's way.”
MEMPHIS MAKES POOR FIGHT.
Memphis was outgeneraled and outfought at every turn of
the cards, and the magnificent floor vote accorded Atlanta shows
how well Korrest Adair had planned his campaign.
It was not thought the imperial potentate would go so far as
to fix a committee on the quiet against Atlanta, but apparently
this is what he did. He was reported lukewarm to the Gate City
last night, but as he was the only imperial officer hostile the im«
prssion was that the committee would report in favor of Atlanta.
As a matter of fact, it was rumored unofficially last night as
standing three to two favorable to Atlanta. Buffalo nev^r wasi
