MOOLAH's S PATROL
IS WORLD BEATER
COL. SINCLAIR, FAMOUS AS
DRILLMASTER, LEADS
Potentate Grant and Five Followers
Left Behind In Grand Canyon,
but Friendly Arabs VIII
Bring Them


Moolah temple of st. Louis and the
famous patrol drilled by Col. clarence
A. Sinclair, famed as the commander OF
the invincible Branch guards, reached
the Angelus hotel last night just as the
thousands of lanterns lighted incan-
descently turned on their dazzling
glow.
The St Louis special, direct from the
city which made Budweiser known and
popular in thirsty world, came With
out Potentate Alexander D. Grant, Her
bert Martin John c. Sherman, william
H. Lamb. William Hettel and John VIII
son, for they had been left behind In the
wilds of Grand canyon trying TO scale
the walls. From friendly Arabs the
Columbus, O.. special took the lost pill
grims aboard and will deposit them IN
the fair SPOT called Los Angeles some
time today.
Drill Like Automatons
Since the Buffalo conclave in 1899 the
Moolah patrol has been regarded as one
of the crack teams of Shrinerdom. Its
twenty-eight members are as near au-
tomato in movement as human beings
can be. Col. Sinclair has for many
years commanded the First regiment,
at Chickamauga in the Seventh U. S. v.
and elsewhere when the Cuban war
broke out. He had with his Branch
guards competed in tournaments all
over the country.
Then, too, st. Louis brings here a
probable selection for imperial outer
guard-Henry F. Niedringhaus. This is
the first time the metropolis of the Mis-
sissippi valley has ever asked for an
Office in the high-up councils.
Pleasant weather marked the progress
of the Missourians over the trail so
many have trod until New Mexico was
reached, when a snow storm made their
teeth chatter They had not looked for
such visitation of Allah IN May.

DazzIed by IIuminations
When the Moolah men reached the
register at the Angelus the placard bri-
gade got busy. Soon after big legends
bearing picture of the famous news
paper bird originated in st. Louis by
Artist Harry B. Martin were strung
about the lobbies. The bird on the print
says: 81 belong to Moolah. Where do
you belong?"
AS soon as the women of the party
had made preparations the st. Louisans
started out in autos and on foot to an
spect the iluminations. Electric parades
in connection with the Yelled Prophet
carnival have recently been introduced
in the Mound City, and the Los Angeles
way of doing things by electricity was
a revelation to the newcomers.
"You folks are all lit up, see," said
Col. Sinclair. "It reminds me of world s
fair days at home"
"This ought TO advertise your burg"
said John Hochmuth, advertising man
for the Brown Shoe company,
the largest shoemakers in the world.
"WelI, we brought the boys through,
anyway" said City Passenger Agent
Joe M. Griffin of the Missouri Pacific.
who had charge of the train. I'VE had
five sleepers, diner, lounging and
a baggage car.
"At our last meeting we initiated
General Passenger and Ticket Agent H.
C. Townsend of the Missouri Pacific
Iron Mountain system. On our way
north we will pay a visit at San Jose to
Walter B. Townsend, Mr.. Townsend's
son, who is member of the San Fran
cisco temple"
Gossip in the st. Louis camp is that
st. Paul will be likely to capture the
next meeting, as the Falls City was
only six votes behind it's nearest COM
petitor next time.
Mobile sent a carload of passengers,
who were hooked on at st. Louis and
travelled to the coast with Moolah.
