SIR KNIGHTS!

decorators have placed these flags at
regular intervals and the vista down
any of the streets named is en-
trancing.
The decoration of shops and business
houses has not progressed so far,
though some have started on elaborate
schemes Of establishment that promise
to work out into fine things Most
Individual efforts have been held back,
however though 1t Is expected that
today and Monday will see great
activity on these lines The new
lights on Broadway will put that street
away ahead of it's nelghbors, and give
It, at night, a carnival appearance,
even II nothing more be done with It,.
SO Los Angeles may be easily recog-
nized as glad to see the incoming
knights and ready to do its part in
welcoming them.
These Did the Work
And they should be welcomed, these
pilgrims, who come on this new
crusade. 1t Is no light and trlfling mat
ter for thousands of men and women
to cross continent to convene in a
city where, three years ago, they had
no organization. 1t takes money and
time and endurance. But all these OBJ
jections were raised when the knights
talked of their pilgrimage, and the
answers to them, given by our own
Joseph Scott, grand state deputy, were
so convincing that they~trusted in his
word He promised them "the time of
their lives" and they told him they
expected it.
He hurried home and began to pre-
pare for it. With him were associated
an executive committee, composed of
J. ]. Bergin, secretary; James G. Kays,
treasurer; w. p. Hampton, ]. G. Mott,
Joseph Mesmer, John Alton, M. G..

ing that Supreme knight Edward L,
Hearn would not arrive in Los Angeles
until 1O:3O o'clock Monday morning, in
stead of s o'clock Sunday night, as
originally planned.
The special train bearing the COM
mittee on reception will leave the Salt
Lake depot at o'clock Monday morn
ing and meet the official train at San
Bernardino and escort the supreme
knight to the city.
Arrangements for the escort of the
party from the train to the Angelus
hotel will remain unchanged, except as
to time, as officially announced in the
program.

and lady; that the various keys to the
city are thrown away and the gates
are wide open; that all a visitor need
do, If he see not what he want, is to
ask for it. That there may be no
trouble in finding any of the numerous
"ask me" committees, they will all be
duly tagged and labeled, the order of
their badges being:
Badges They Wear
Official train committee, blue and
white.
San Francisco special, green.
st. Louis special, red and white.
Bisbee special, blue.
Parade committee, green.

Transportation committee, red, white
and blue ribbons.
Barbecue committee, red.
Theater committee, white.
Church service committee, usher,

Athletic sports, red white and blue.
Ladies' reception committee, red,
white and blue.
One of these committees is due to
meet every scheduled special train, and
occupants will Immediately be cor
rallied by them and property looked
after during their stay. The very
large ladies' reception committee is
headed by Nine. Modjeska, and all
visiting women are assured of a de-
lightful stay.
General Headquarters
In addition to these committees, who
promise to be as nearly omnipresent
as possible, there will be a general
headquarters and information bureau
in the huge Huntington building,
Sixth and Main streets, where any old
kind of information on any subject de-
sired will be furnished free. Branches
Of this bureau will be formed at the
Angelus, Lankershim and Hollenbeck
hotels. A branch postoffce at which
all delegates mail will be delivered
will be opened at 1875 West Fourth
street in the Hellman building, thus
Los Angeles herald., 1905-06-04

Quoted a regular office up In the
Douglas building for weeks, and have
hatched and perfected their plans.
Now they are ready; the latch-string
hangs out, the doors are open, and
they bid their knightly visitors well
come. From today on, it is up to-
the visitors; If for the next week they
don't enjoy themselves, it will be their
own fault and loss.

Besides, there are headquarters for
the delegates, as such. The supreme
knight and national secretary will
rendezvous at the Angelus, where the
council meets. The other national
officers will be at the Holenbeck. The
San Francisco and northern California
delegations will hold forth at the
Lankershim, and the Denverites at
the Alyarado. Other delegations will
establish headquarters as they arrive,
most of them being due today, tonight
Or early tomorrow. Thus persons
identified or having business with any
one particular delegation or officer can
easily find the proper place.
GayIy Decked City
So much for the distinctly knightly
end of the preparations. But that is not
all; Los Angeles itself expects to do
| its part as a city glad to welcome the
visiting throngs and anxious to greet
them fittingly. Already much in the
way of preparation is under way; more
will be in evidence today and tomor-
row. Across Main, Spring and Broad
way have been swung lines of flags,

fares in gayety of color. Interspersed

BY Easy Stages

From bleak New England come
they. where the winters are long and
cold and stern, and the summers are
only samples of what they ought to
be; from New York, where men are
too busy to idle and know no joy
save mercenary business; from Chi
cago, city of strife and tuTnult; from
the granaries of the middle west and
the great mines of the mountains.
Some have been en- route for a week,
making the long pilgrimage by easy
stages, seeing the country as they
come. All are due either today or
early tomorrow, and before them lies
one of the busiest weeks of their
lives. t+
That they will enjoy it goes with
cut saying; everyone does who is for
tunate enough to be an object of Los
Angeles official welcome and entertain
ment. That they will be occupied, day
and night, every minute of their stay,
cannot be gainsaid; the program in de-
tail elsewhere printed gives ample
proof. That they will go, away strong
in their praise of Los Angeles and it's
hospitality Is already assured. .
So evident is all this that a necessity
was a week of "tapering off" which
has been provided by San Francisco,
just SO the transition from gay Los
Angeles to the grayness of, the east will
not be too abrupt and saddening,.

City Is Gay With Bunting for the ln-
coming Thousands-What Will
Be Done and Those Who
viii Do II

From all across the United States for
a week gone by there have been speed
ing to Los Angeles special trains of
bearing here some 10000 knights of a
latter day toward this, their Mecca
their promised land.
Like crusaders of old they are COM
ing, these knights of Columbus, to
conquer; but unlike their knightly
predecessors of the Middle Ages, the
land they seek is already theirs.
They are coming to the region where
first the banner of their faith was un-
furled in the centuries gone by; but
unlike the padres and the saints of
those earlier times, they will found no
missions nor: seek for converts; they
will enter the churches that are al
ready built and worship with brothers
of their own congregations.
Already firmly set upon, the golden
hills of this pioneer Catholic land, they
will find and fill the adobe cathedrals
OF the Spanish era and will chant
their masses to the tones of the bells
the ancient fathers chimed, to call to
prayer the converts from the natives
of prehistoric days. .-.
Host Comes Far
What is this host of an army, COM
ing so far, and why comes it here?
Columbus, the one secret order Of the
Roman Catholic church This; week
this mighty throng holds its annual
council here, and $50 delegates will
meet in daily session to attend to the
business of the order. -
But this is only incidental to the
main occasion for the assembly. These
knights-and their ladies-are coming
here to pitch their figurative tents for
a reunion of their forces; to shake
hands in friendly concourse for their
mental and moral and personal up
lift; to spy out the land wherein
their church was Graded, which to
most of them is but place of song
and story. d"
They come to meet one another and
to see sights. and enjoy life.-. They
come to sample that wondrous hos
pitality for which California is famed; /;
to participate in the round of pleasures
arranged for them by their more for
tunate brethren and fellow knights who
call this "home;" to feast on the glories
of this ever summer land, its sunshine
and its balminess; to haye a holiday
in the greatest holiday region of the
world
