INITIATE CLASS
About Forty Members of Bal

bon City to Put NoWCe6
Across the Burning Sands.


To the strains of Hail, Hail. the
Gangs All Here" sung by the dele
gates, about forty members of Ballut
Abyad temple, A. A. O. n. M. s., de-
parted for Gallup on train No. last
night. They occupied a special Pull
man attached to the rear of the train,
While their paraDhernalia was carried
in the baggage car ahead" Today in
the Carbon City they will initiate a
class of between fifty and seventy
five novices into the mystery of
Shrinedom, among them being Tom
Hughes, V. e, Wenkle. DR., II. M.
Bowers and ID. f. Barton of Albuquer-
que.
The festivities will open this fore
noon with a grand street parade com
posed of visiting Shriners, the noviees
and such other attractions as are usu-
ally exhibited on similar occasions. a
business session will be held at l
o'clock, followed by the ceremonial at
2 o'clock. Tonight there will be big
banquet, followed by a grand ball.
The business meeting and the cere-
monial will be held N the opera
house; the banquet and dance at the
City club The Albuquerque Shriners
win return home on train No, 10 sun
day morning.
While waiting for the train last night,
which was somewhat late. a parade
was staged on Central avenue. which
was followed by an impromptu con-
cert on the station platform, A drum
corps played several selections and a
male quartet sang. Following the rem
dition of the latter number a voice
in the crowd rang out:
Rotten! Rotten! We noyices. want
something better"
Tom Hughes proved to be the guilty
party and he was Immediately caught
hold of by several Shriners and COM
PEELED to mount the car steps. There
were insistent calls from the crowd
that he sing, If he thought he could
improve on the quality of music rem
dered by the quartet. Tom had evil
IDENTIFY forgotten all the music he ever
knew, as he didn't sing and finally
was allowed to so free.
DR. Bowers was the next victim. He
was compelled to mount the car steps,
while about half of the crowd de-
manded that he speak and the other
half importuned him to keep still. He
yielded to the latter faction and did
not give an exhibition of his forensic
ability.
Tom Hughes was chided consider
ably about what we will do to you In
Gallup Saturday" He was game,
however, and said he would be salts
fled if he returned home with as
much hair on his head as II. w. Hoyt
has (Note-Hoyt hasn't any to speak
Off
Tom is also a candidate for the
Shriners' ring, which is voted to the
most popular member of the class. He
was said to be running strong last
night.
The indications are that sleepy
crowd will arrive in Albuquerque Sun
day morning. Asrule was made last
night that dire punishment would be
melted out to any Shriner who SO much
as closed his eyes on the trip to Cal
lup, and as they probably will dance
Saturday night until the train leaves
there, Morpheus is going to be some
what of stranger among that crowd.
