Buffalo. May 2-The work of Nget- ting ready for the annual session Of the imperial council of nebles of the Mystic Shrine has progressed to a stage where officers of IsmaiIia tenn pie of this city which Is to act as host are assured that not only will the gathering be one of great mag nitude but also it's stated events will be moved with smo oothness and preci- sion. George K. Staples of this city, general chairman of the convention committee, predicted today that up- wards of 100,0 900 visitors will be att tracted by the convention. Most of these will be nobles and their wives and families, coming from the 139 temples of Athis country, Canada and Mexico.
 Everything in connection with the Shrine annual meeting looms big in figures. The attendance will bring a multitude of people together. The uniformed patrols with their bands will make a creditable army. nearly 5000 uniformed men and almost as many bandsrnen. The sums that . on their special train equipment, travelling expenses and other outlays will run into the millions. Buffalo will disburse a $100,000 entertainment fund. One San Francisco temple is spending $75,0O0 on a special train J lease the large passenger steamer on the Great Lakes for the trip to Buff falo. quarters while here and the re- turn trip. The boat and supplies is to cost it s4o,O0o. Other temples from various parts of North America have equally elaborate plans for the 1916 pilgrimage.
 Many patrols will bring mascots with them. One from the desert re- zion of the southwest will have a flock of camels. That from EI Paso. Texas, will bring 100 burros. If Shriners from EI Paso can be pre- vailed upon to do so they will ride the bupros in the big parade of the session. in which, it is estimated, anywhere from 10000 to 50,0o0 Shriners will participate. A Calgary temple has secured a buffalo from which happens to be owned in that locality. It will be presented to the Buffalo zoo when the convention is over. Representative from the Shrine temple at Honolulu will bring some animal typical of the Hawai- it will be one suitable for the cere- moniaI sessio of Ismailia temple of Buffalo and will be donated to it, but that it isn't a goat.
 The imperial council session will be held July H. 12 and 13. Most of the hotel space in Buffalo and at Niagara Falls, which Is a suburb con- veniently reached, has been leased by agents for visiting temples. General Chairman Staples and Potenate John T. CIaris of the Buffalo Shrine, how ever. have found that there is always ing to book accommo odations for Visi- tors.
 Every effort is being made by the arrangement committee to give yisi-

tors suitable entertainment For the patrols the 65th Regiment armory has been secured and here the pa trol members will be quartered/ just city. A caterer will use the arnory Kitchens in preparing meals. The armory will be equipped with all the facilities of an immense hotel. This preparatory work has Deem attended to by Cap. H. I. Sackett of Ismai- Ha Patrol and he has sent to other patrol commanders assurances that their organizations will be we'll cared for. This includes an elaborate en- tertainment program as well as quar- tering. The big event of this pro- gram is to be a patrol banquet at which 5000 men will be guests.
 For all Shriners, it is the hope of the Buffalo hosts, arrangements will be made for a visit to the Cana dian military training camp at Mi agara on the Lake. This camp is within easy reach of Buffalo. Nego- tions with the Canadian military au- thorities for a suspension of the rigid rules against visitors entering camp now are under way. It also is ex- Dected that the Niagara, Falls power companies which of late have been chary of admitting visitors to their underground works will make proyi- sion for the Shriners to inspect these great hydro-electric power houses during the imperial council session.
 The great mass. of visitors will come to Buffalo on special trains. Many of these will be parked in the city for habitation purposes if travel CTS on them prefer seelping car quar- ters to hotels. An advantageous parking location has been secured by action of the city, near the pumping station with fine view of Lake Erie It is expected nearly 10, 900 persons will be accommodated on the park ed trains.
 From the east, New England, New York city, Philadelphia and eastern New York a. great automobile tour to the convention is being organized. In this automobile parties from the sec tfons named will converge at Syra7 cuse so as to form a procession Of vehicles across the state and into Buffalo It is assured that upwards of 25oO automobile will be in this tour making it the greatest automo- bile event of it's kind in the country's history.
 J. Putnam Stevens, imperial po- tentate of the Shrine, returned few days ago to his home in Portland, Me, from a three months tour through the United States and to the Hawai- ian Island on which he visited many temples He reported his return that the imperial council session of this summer gives every indication of being the greatest gathering ever held by any fraternal organization in the world.
