Draw to Close.
By the Associated Press.


CLEVELAND. Ohio, June 13.-
Visitors attending the thirty-fourth
annual concIave of the Mystic Order

took advantage of the fact that there
was little on today's program until
the competitive band contest this
afternoon, except a business session
of the supreme council. and rested
from last nights revelry, which
started early and continued late.
1t was the same carnival spirit that
sweeps New Orleans, Paris ana otner
cities each year that held this city
In its grip last night. Bedlam, which
broke loose with street carnivals and
dancing ended with buriesque
parade, said to have been the weird
est spectacle Cleveland has ever seen.
So dense was the crowd at the height
of the festivities that downtown
traffic was completely at standstill.
Not until the crowd thinned out early
today were the traffic officers able to
open lanes for street cars and auto
mobiles TO pass. Not since armistice
night has this city witnessed such
maelstrom of people.
Forty bands are entered in the
competitive contest Selection OF next
years meeting place and the winner
of yesterday competitive drill team
contest were to be announced by the
supreme council.
The three-day conclave ends with
the breaking up of the annual ball

French crews could use the gunboat
as cafe. getting wine with their

the French consul general when the

FIRST "DRY" SHIP SAILS.

Passengers Must State Liquor
Needs Before Departure.

SOUTHAMPTON. June 13.-The
Majestic sails from this port today
as the first "dry" British liner bound
for New York.
In an effort to estimate the thirst
of the passengers, about 500 Of whom
are booked in the first saloon, the
White Star line issued a blank form
asking each ticket holder to state
his needs. However, it is doubtful
how far this method will help the
company avoid jettisontng its liquor
stores at the three-mile limit, as
several passengers have failed to NIL
out the forms while others have
gauged their fluid capacity variously.
Heretofore the Majestic has carried
liquor supplies averaging $4,000 bot
ties of beer, $500 bottles of wine
and 5000 of various spirits. 1t is
understood that today she ID taking
5000 bottles Of beer, 240 Of wine and
200 Of miscellaneous liquors for her
first cabin passengers. How the
needs of the other classes have been
estimated is not known.
The Majestios experience with the
new United States ruling Is awaited
eagerly by the other steams ship COM
panies, which expect to be aided in
their own calculations by the results

By the Associated Press.
Topeka, Kan, June 13-Gov
Jonathan NJ. Davis today authorized
the statement that he is seriously
considering the calling of a special
session of the legislature to abolish
the Kansas court of industrial rela-
tIons. The governor said his recon-
mendation If the special session is
called would not be for the absolute
abandonment of the court idea, but
that he feels more than 100000 can
be saved to the state during the pres
ent biennium by abolishing the tri-
bunal as it now exists and which. he
declares, is doing nothing"
The governor declared that the con-
ciliatory and mediatory features OF
the law were "well worth protection
and that he felt the administration
of the duties prescribed by various
divisions of the tribunal could be
adequately handled by other state
departments
