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 mm spi 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 r~
