(Scrtpps News Association)
Denver, CoL, July 16. As by the wand
of a powerful fairy, Denver haa been
transformed into a purple city. From the
railroad depot, where train after train ar
rives, bringing delegates to the national
convention of the Grand Lodge of the Be
nevolent and Protective Order of Elks and
thousands of other visitors, far beyond the
Capitol the royal purple of the order
greeta the eye everywhere. Purple bunt
ing decorates the businese , houses and
private residences,: purple flowers adorn
the window sills and bloom in. profusion
in every front yard and in every flower
bed in the parks and public squares. Pur
ple streamers float in the breeze from the
housetops and purple light are strung
across the streets, to shed purple light
upon the festive scene at night.
Although the convention will not befcin
until this evening, the city is already filled
with visitors. Every train rolling into the
station brings delegatiods, accompanied by
their ladies and other excursionists and
many of the delegations are accompanied
by bands. According to conservative
estimate, there are already about one
hundred bands of music in the city and
more are coming with every train. The
arrangements for the reception of the'
delegates arc as nearly perfect as they
can be made. Although the totals seem
to be crowded already, it is asserted that
there will be no difficulty in placing the
thousands of delegates and other visitors
who are still coming,
The business sessions of the Grand
Lodge will be held tomorrow and Wednes
day. Many matters of importance will
come up for consideration, among others
a proposition to cut, down the; member
ship of the Gra.:d Lodge, which now in
cludes all past exalted rulers and is in
creasing at the rata of about a thousand
a year. A this would soon make the
Grand Lodge an enormous and unwield
ing body, an effort will be mad tp remedy
this altogether too rapid increase. An
other propoistion to be considered ! that
to make the position of the Exalted Ruler
of the Grand Lodge a salaried one and to
require that officer to give all his time to
the business of the order. This is consid
ered necessary on account of the rapid
increase in the membership of the order
which has reached half a million, distrib
vted over 1,026 lodges. The organiza
tion is in a flourishing financial condition
and has spent mora than $1,000,000 in
charity during the past year. '
The election of officers will take place
tomorrow and great interest is manifested
in that part of the proceedings. The Cal
ifornia delegates are wcrking hard for
the election of Henry A. Melvin, judge of
the superior court of Alameda county to
the position of Grand Exalted Ruler, and
it is believed that he will' be elected.
Following the inclement weather, the
Colorado skies appeared undimmed by
clouds tnis morr.ing. The Elks will have
the most perfect weather for the opening
of the convention tonight, It seems al
most cerUin that Judge Malvin or Oak
land, California, will be 'chosen exalted
ruler. Dr. W. H. Haviland of Butte is to
be the grand trustee according to reports
