"Saracen City Of Jerusalem" having
capitulated to invading knights Tenn

pillaged" for nearly a week until the
thirst for entertainment Of the invaders
was satisfied, the knights Of the
thirty-first triennial Crusade" of the
grand encampment. today began to
journey back to their homes. No set
program had been arranged for today.
and some visitors passed the day Wis
iting Chicago parks and show places
and others packed their swords, lances
and allegorical armor and departed.
Colorado's delegation. besides keeping
open house last night. remained to
celebrate it's success in directing the
next conclave toward Denver. and Los
atives remained to make the most Of
their failure to secure the event.

Practically $4,000. 900 was spent in
Chicago in the four days terminating
thousands OF visitors who attended
their conclave. according to Curt M.
Treat OF the Association OF Commerce.
Hotel managers bankers. department
store managers, and Others agreed
that any sum expended by the visitors
would be far outweighed by the good
effect that Chicago hospitality has had
on her guests. In sending them home
with nothing but praise for their treat
ment while here.
Mr.. Treat, who has made a study OF
what Is spent by convention crowds,
said:
II regard s9.oOo,ooo as low esti-
mate. Take the amount spent in stores
for instance. At club today a knight
came In with three women. He drew
a check for $3.50, representing the pur-
chases made by the women in one
store. OF course all did not spend a
sum like that. But a $40 average is
small
Visitors from every city other than
New York came to a city larger than
their own. Naturally the ladies and
the men, too. were eager to see what
the stores had to Offer.
The Templars represent the most
prosperous people In America We
have more millionaires in Chicago to-
