full quota of temples attendant on the
big annual conclave will be here. From
Mexico and Florida on the South, Can
ada on the north, the Atlantic coast
on the east and Honolulu on the west
they will come, and when they all ar

any throng in the CITY,
From all over the country Potentate
Flint is receiving messages stating that
one or the other caravans Is on
it's way to the AL Maaikah oasis, and
thus far no untoward event has hap
pened to mar the pilgrimage. With
the exception of the accident that hap
pened to one of the members of Aloha
temple on board the Steamer Siberia
no accident to any of the mobiles has
been reported, and the Shriners who
are speeding across the hot sands are
having an unusually pleasant trip.
While the Shriners will take an ac-
tive and all important part in La FL
esta de las Flores the chief object Of
their pilgrimage here is to meet in an
nual conclave and elect officers to the
imperial council. The meetings of the

Solves Transportation Problem
Yesterday was one of comparative
quiet for Potentate Flint and his fell
low mobiles of AL Malaikak temple. The
initiation of the Daughters of Isis,
affiliated with the Shriners. at Venice
last night was attended by many of
AL Malaikah's members, who helped
their sisters of the shrine in putting
through the candidates for member
ship.
Acting under an arrangement made
with the street railway company yes
terday by Clarence Haydock, chair
man of the committee on incoming
transportation facilities, all Shriners
who arrive for the conclave will be
conveyed to their uptown destination
on special cars, which will have right
of way over tie regular trolleys This
will. greatly facilitate local transpor-
tation and one of the problems which
has confronted the Shrine hosts in
Los Angeles is thereby overcome.
No Shriner travels without a camel
load of baggage, and arrangements
have already been made with the
transfer companies to convey the
trunks of the visiting mobiles from the
depots to their hotels AS the con-
tract for handling the baggage was
entered into previous to the teamsters'
strike, no trouble from that source Is
anticipated and ever. thing is expected
to be serene in regard to giving the
mobiles their trunks and other accessor-
les to their pilgrimage.
Clarence Haydock has arranged for
a coterie of experienced aides to help
him in the matter Of baggage. Yester-
day he appointed the following mem
Joi1y tnn n nCSjGt
him: H. A. Beecher, c. H. Eaton, c.
J. Lehman, w. B. Brain, Ferd K.
Rule, e. w. Gillette, S. L. Krider, F.
L. Annable, Izaac T. Dyer. e. r. Greg
ory. H. H. Moore, w. A. Smith, Ben B.
Cartright, A. N. Reinhart, S. T. But
Ter, Fred fucker, Thomas Moses and
F. e. Rising.
Mr.. Haydock's headquarters are at
11S West Sixth street, and there the
committee will meet him to perfect ar
rangements for handling the baggage
of the incoming nol'es.
Something Hot Is Coming
And maybe there isn't something
warm on the way to the Los Angeles
oasis. Late last night a special tele-
gram to The Herald Contained the fol-
lowing:
Butte, Mont, May IA special
train or seven cars IL ffloutdud oiillA
ers with the celebrated Boston-Mon-
tana band of forty pieces starts for
Los Angeles tonight playing Raising
HE'LL"
That helps some. The Montana
crowd with their band will be much
in evidence and also demand during
next weeks festivities, and if they
continue as they have started the no
bles from the copper region are liable
to corner the supply of exuberant
spirits with which the air after Sunday
is to be permeated.
While the Montanens and their band
are creating a stir along the line, many
other caravans are also doing things
to the stopping places along the way
to Los Angeles. Ell Zagal Arab patrol
of Fargo, N. D., is also accompanied
by band, and when they left home
yesterday the mobiles of the temple
were given rousing send off. Many
other temples have been reported along
the way, all busy in their preparations
to enter the last stretch of sand before
AL Malaikah ard her oasis are reached,
and their arrival is awaited with anti
cipations of a royal welcome on the
part of the local mobiles.
