As if by Allah's direction, old Sol
ehifted to a position yesterday after
noon which Bent long- shafts of light
down upon the heads of more than
600 Imperial representatives of the I
Mystic Shrine, representing 400.000 of'
the faithful In North America, Just as
this body pledged its support to a
tZ. 000,000 children's hospital project.
These light shafts were mistaken
for artificial rays directed Into the
convention hall by powerful search
lights for effect. But instead, as one
of the delegates announced, it was
real sunlight, the true light of Allah,
sent as his indorsement of the plan of
the nobility of America to render
service to the unfortunate crippled
and maimed children of the conti
nent. Project Folly Approved.
It was immediately following: the
election of officers that the hospital
project was brought forth from the
committee and the indorsement of
the plan came after a discussion
which lasted more than one hour.
Lewis Ellis Garretson of Afifi tem
ple, Tacoma. was elevated to the posi
tion of imperial potoVtate without op
position and by unanimous vote, as
were all but one other imperial offi
cer. In the lone case of contest, Con
rad V. Dykeman, Kismet temple,
Brooklyn, defeated Noble John T.
Jones of India temple, Oklahoma City,
for the office of Imperial assistant
rabban. William S. Brown, Imperial
treasurer, and Benjamin W. Rowell,
imperial recorder, were re-elected for
the :6th consecutive terms.
Itocbrnirr Noble Win.
Esten A. Fletcher, imperial repre
zentative of Damascus temple, Roch
ester, N. Y., was the winner in the
contest for the office of imperial outer
guard. Eight favorite sons were
placed in nomination of this office,
the first rung of the ladder which
leads to the office of imperial poten
tate. The first ballot found no can
uldate with sufficient votes, but on
the second ballot Noble Fletcher re
ceived more than enough to elect him,
Announcement of the result of the
second ballot was the signal for an
outburst of wild enthusiasm by the
patrol and representative of Damas
cus temple, which during the taking
of the first and second ballot eat
quietly in the balcony of the audi
torium. The entire assemblage joined
the Rochester noblemen in according
tho newly elected outer guard ap
plause.
Others Short oC Votes.
Candidates who were nominated for
imperial outer guard, but who did not
rally sufficient votes at this session
to place them in the imperial council
were Henry A. Pierce, El Katif tem

By far the indorsement of the hos
pital for crippled, orphan and friend
less children by the Imperial repre
sentatives loomed as the feature of
the day's session. Not alone was It
the feature because of the decision
to proceed without delay to a "humani
tarian work, but It marked the be
ginning of active service by the nobil
ity of North America to fellow men.
In addition to adoption of the reso
lution provfding financial support of
the home, Henry Lansburgrh, Illustri
ous potentate of Almas temple, Wash

of
KNOXVILLE, Tenn.. June 23.
Governor Roberts of Tennessee an
nounced tonight that in compliance
with the request of President Wilson
he would call a special session of the
Tennessee legislature to act on the
federal suffrage amendment.
The legislature will be called to
meet, the governor said, in plenty of
time to permit the women of the
Un'ted States' to vote in the November
election provided ratification of the
suffrage amendment is completed
through favorable action by Ten
nessee. WASHINGTON, June 23. President
Wilson tonight sent a telegram to
Governor Roberts of Tennessee urg
ing that a special sassion of the Ten
nessee legislature oe called o act on
the federal suffrage amendment
The president in his telegram said:
"It would be a real service to the
party and to the nation if it is pos
sible for you under the peculiar pro
vision of your state constitution, hav
ing In mind the recent decision of
the. supreme court in the Ohio case.
to call a special session of the legis
lature of Tennessee to consider the
suffrage amendment. Allow me to
urge this very earnestly."
The state constitution of Tennessee
has a provision prohibiting action by
the state legislature on a, federal con
st:, utional i.mendinent except when
the legislature taking the action has
been chosen at an election in which
the proposed amendment was an issue.
Some legal authorities have been
quoted as holding that such a pro
vision was invalidated by the su
preme, court's recent decision in the
Ohio referendum case.

Francisco, with good chance of reach

Seventy-five thousand Shriners and
their friends have" enjoyed the hos
pitality of Al Kader.
Possibly the estimate is 6000 short
or excessive, but the figure is the
best that can be offered.
This much is definite: Preparation
had been made to house 60,000. but
15,000 additional persons had to be
assigned to rooms, hotels and trains,
It is probable that the figure is con
servative for many hundreds, if no
thousands, made their own, 'arrange
ments to live with friends. And 2000
persons were housed in Newberg, For
est Grove, Oregon City and other
close-in towns which came to the res
cue at the last moment.
Attendance Records Broken.
Anyway, all Shrine convention rec
ords of the past have been smashed to
smithereens. That is, from an attend
ance standpoint., . .
As to whether entertainment and
enjoyment records were broken, mod
esty prevents Portland from really
saying, but it may be barely sug
gested, that thousands and thousands
of visitors at any rate it seems like
that number have said:
"Nothing like it anywhere. Noth
ing ever will be anything like it.
But what has Portland to say? Just
this: '
Portland and Al Kader have never
enjoyed anything- so much as this
great gathering- of Shriners.
Nobles, your liberality with music,
your enthusiastic participation in
everything, your jolly, rollicking good
humor have endeared you to us all.

LEGION OF NOBLES IN LINE
Many Unique Stunts and Original
Uniforms Shown When Huge
Parade Traverses City.
Under.the witchery of the sparkling
illuminated fezzes and lighted by
thousands of torches and electric
lights, the famous night Shrine pa
rade passed in review last night be
fore (enormous crowds, stretched over
parade route that was over four
miles in extent.
The pageant received an ovation
from start to finish that has not been
exceeded In any of the parades of
Shrine week. ,
In addition to all the 78 bands, the
innumerable patrols, the merrily
singing chanters-, the gun corps, the
doughty drummers and the'rest, there
was an imposing dress-suit division
from many temples.
Climax of Celebration Bracked.
The parade had every advantage. It
came as the culmination of the Shrine
festivities. It was the Shrine's full
showing of its strength to its Port
land hosts. '
it was spectacular. It was more; it
was huge. At 11:30 P. M. exactly
one-half the parade had passed the
reviewing stand, two and one-half
hours after the start. Undoubtedly
it presented a greater number of
marching men in line than ever be
fore appeared at one time in Portland
with the exception of some of the
military wartime efforts. '
Of all the features presented, none
was more striking than the giai
illuminated mosque brought to Port
land by El Zagal of Fargo, N. D.
The mosque was in three sections.
each on a truck, and as the pagean
passed In review in front of Freelan
Kendrick at the Morrison-street
grandstand, each truck nosed into the
other, showing the inside temple
scene.
El Zagat's Mosque Astounds.
There, in pantomime, illuminated
by rose-colored flares, the legend
El Zagal was depicted. Potentates
past and present, a life-size camel
under the temple's gates and the
weird ceremonials were all part
EI Za gal's spectacular offering.
The crowd was magnetized, fasci
natea. xnere was no stinting of ap
plausc, and the enthusiasm of ' th
vast assemblage was transmitted to
the Shriners. who outdid themselve
in their efforts with their bands. Th
reputation of every Shrine band
might have been at stake, so wo
drously did they perform.
The determination of Afifi of Ta
coma to be represented fittingly i
tne cnartering yesterday of two spe

derful reception the crowd gave th
700 evening-garbed nobles. Even be

DES MOINES, la., June 23. Use of
cigarettes by women was condemned

the biennial convention.
Resolutions reciting that the cig
arette habit apparently is increasing
among women and that the use of to-
bacco is harmful to them were
adopted.
Resolutions urging an educational
campaign against the use cf cigar
ettes by men and asking state au
thorities to prohibit the sale thereof
to minors also were adopted.
Three invitations were extended to
the federation for the 1922 biennial.
The women's club of Shanghai, China,
asked the next biennial; Hot Springs,
Ark., extended an invitation, as did
Chicaeo. The executive board will

higher positions in the federal gov
ernment and bureau heads under the
civil service; that state authorities be
petitioned to pass uniform marriage
aws; that newspapers be asked to
omit detailed reports of sensational
trials, and that the postal zoning sys-
em for magazines be abandoned. The
work of the near cast relief commis
sion was approved.
Efforts to get through a resolution
asking congress to establish a federal
censorship of motion picture films
failed because the majority thought
it was moro of a state question.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., June 23
(Special.) There is not enough here
yet to make a picture complete
enough to do the reader any good in
estimating what the real convention
is going to look like or what it is
going to do. All that is here are the
managers of some of the presidential
booms and their staffs, plus the na
tional chairman and his staff. Not all
the national committee is here yet
not even half of it nor have the dele
gates arrived.
Not that the arrival of the delegates
will make much difference, except to
the eye. The 1042 of them will fill the
hall and crowd the streets, but they
will have less importance than the
delegates had at Chicago '
Delegates Are "Hand-picked."
The delegates to the democratic
convention wlll be, in the political
slang of here and now, "hand-picked
and hard.-boiled." The primaries bad
little, to do with the choice of these
democratic delegates. The recent pri
maries have had no such relation to
the demoractic situation as they had
to the republican situation. Only a
handful of the democratic delegates
are here as the result of primary
contests. These delegates do" iot
come as the result of contests in their
local communities, as the results of
one strong man fighting another
strong man. Of the entire 1042. prob
ably not more than 50 are cases where
a man has come before the people'
with an idea or a conviction and has
fought for it and won the right to
come here and represent it. Of that
sort of thing there has been little or
nothing.
These delegates are of the sort that
have been picked by men higher up.
They will come with no strong con
victions, with few new ideas and few
preferences as to men. For the most
part they will regard their function
as merely to do what their state lead
ers ask them to do. This convention
will be what used to bo a "postmas
ters' convention," made up of party
workers who have little thought ex
cept to do what is decreed to be best
by the leaders, who are the custodians
of .party wisdom.
Leaders to Determine Action.
Come, then, to the leaders. What
of them? The leader of each state in
almost every case is the man who is
the member of the national commit
tee from his state or territory. Among
these 52 and a few others who have
unofficial positions of power are the
men whose aggregate of purpose will
determine what is done. Most of this
group aro men of neutral personality;
