Mr.. Jacoby Is one of the dynamic,

which Shrinerdom is noted, and the
way he marshaled his braves since they
left Hoosierdom last Monday shows his
man on the trip Is sick and there has
been no kicking on the trip This is

"All we regret is that Vice President
Fairbanks Is not with u.s." said Poten-
tate Jacoby. Mr.. Jacoby rushed to the
telegraph office as soon as the loco
motive stopped to flash back news of
the trains arrival. He thought at that
moment that Murat temple was the
first of the Shriner trains to arrive IN
Los Angeles but message from the
Arcade depot stated that the San Fran
cisco Shriners had just reached that
depot over the Southern Pacific few
moments earlier. Indianapolis was first
of all eastern trains.

Jacoby. 1--WE brought most of our
commissary stock with us and will
beat our brothers some other way"

all the way to the Rosslyn hotel.
Potentate Jacoby beckoned to the
Shriners whom he saw in passing cars
to alight and fall in and they did so
with alacrity. =,
