Denver, July 19-Festivities in connec-
ton with the twentieth reunion of the
Benevolent Protective Order of Elks Gull
minated today in the annual parade. Large
crowds lined the streets through which
the procession passed
There were in line nearly 1900 persons
representing about 100 lodges. and many
magnificent floats illustrative of the cities
whose lodges provided them. Every lodge
had a distinctive uniform. gorgeous or
comical Denver lodge, 500 strong acted
as mounted escort of honor to Grand
Squire P. P. Christenden and staff Clos
Ing the procession was an automobile and
carriage division in which were hun
bred vehicles decorated with colors and
Elks' heads.
Along Sixteenth street the marchers
were showered with flowers and snow
balls, several carloads of snow having
been brought from the Continental diy-
sion by the "Moffat railroad to show the
diversity of the Colorado climate. Tho

second for being the leanest.
Kansas City won the prize for the
largest number of men In line.
This afternoon rapid progress was made
| by the grand lodge on the new constitu-
ton and by $50 every clause had been
considered and debated. At that hour
balottlng was begun. A count of the
votes showed that the constitution had
been adopted by a large majority. 1t Is n
complete change of the organic law of
the order, and now goes back to subordi-
nate lodges for approval If they vote to
adopt It. It becomes law after the next
convention.
The particular point which caused the
most debate was that in regard to the jlf-
dicial feature Of the proposed reorganiza-
ton. 1t provides that sort of court shall
be named consisting of five members
appointed by the grand exalted ruler to be
known as the grand forum. This Is the
court of last resort to which appeal may
be taken. After considerable discussion it
was agreed that the grand lodge may have
the pardonlng power just as n governor
or the President.
State associations are recognized only
as social organizations, and have no pow
ers of legislation binding on the order.
Tonight the grand lodge Is further con-
sidering the new ritual.

Atlantic Coast Line will enter Atlanta

Macon. Application has been made for
a charter to connect the Macon, Dublin

Line at Fleming. forty miles west of Sa-

will be commenced shortly.
When the Atlantic Coast Line enters At
ianta it will connect there with the Louis

tention of the Coast Line officials to con-
meet these two roads at Atlanta ever
since the Coast Line got into Macon.
The Southern will rebuild much of It's
line in double tracking, and it will be
shortened about five miles by taking out
some of the curves. The road is eighty
eight miles long at present and when the
improvements are completed 1t will be
only about eighty-three miles.
