MIAMI, Fla, April 1.-The at
mosphere of ancient Egypt is being
re-created in Miami for the fifty
fourth annual Imperial Council
of the Shriners, next month. The
setting for the council, which is ex-
pected to bring tens of thousands of
visitors here, will be uniquely in
keeping with the Shriners' rituals
and costumes.
In a latitude just south of Cairo,
Miami is well equipped by nature
for the transformation. What ma
ture hasn't supplied in the way of
Egyptian panoply for the event,
Director General Henry r. Pridgen
will.
Bay Front Park the Center
The center of the official enter
tainments and decorations will be in
Miami's new Bay Front Park, re-
claimed from Biscayne Bay and
transformed under the direction of
landscape experts. The park is thir-
teen blocks in length and approx
mately one thousand feet in width.
1t lies between the skyscraping no.
tells of downtown Miami and Bis
cayne Bay, fronting east on the bay
and west on Biscayne Blvd.
Five blocks of grand stands will
be constructed along BiScayne Blvd.
with a seating capacity of 10000.
Plan Historical Pageant
On the opening day, May 1.-The
Shriners in their brilliant costumes
will be reviewed by the Imperial Po-
tenate, who will be stationed half
way through the Garden of Allah
on Biscayne Blvd. in a stand rep
resenting an Egyptian mosque.
The next day there will be a pag-
cant presenting the colorful history
of Florida from the landing of Ponce
de Leon down to the present time.
The evening Of May will see an
electrically Illuminated parade, in
which each marcher will bear in
candescent lights in the Shrine
colors. The boulevard will be dark
ened to heighten the effect.
Yachts to Carnival
An Illuminated water pageant will
be a feature of the third night with
hundreds of yachts sailing by under
the play of brilliant searchlightS.
To create a Garden Of Allah amid
the palms and flowers of Bayfront
Park required only the symbols of
an ancient civilization. Mahi Shrine
Temple of Miami provided these,
with reproductions of Egyptian art
Parades will enter the Garden
of Allah between two groups of four
massive columns, thirty feet high,
supporting an entablature.
Recreate Egyptian Town
Between the arches extends the
Avenue of the Gods, lined on the
east with colossal deities of stone.
These figures are reproductions of
the state of Khephren, Pharaoh
of the fourth dynasty, who ruled
about PITS B. G. He is remembered
as the builder of the second pyra-
mid.
Buildings within the garden will
form an Arabian-E Egyptian village,
gay with the colors of the orient
Above the bazars will be minaret
from which a Muezzin will call the
Faithful to prayer.
At the southern end of the garden
from Flagler st. to Biscayne Bay
will be the Avenue of the Sphinx
guarded on each side by massive fig
ures. From this avenue a huge
electrical protector will flash rain
bow-tinted rays against the mid
night skies.

HUNTER is CLEARED
IN ACCIDENTAL GUNFIRE
Shell Left in Weapon Exploded,
Court Is Told as Case Is
Dismissed.

Charges of assault with a dangerous
weapon and discharging firearms placed
against j. Bernard Gass, 3400 block of
Sherman avenue, were both dismissed
in Police Court today when it was
shown conclusively that the gun which
he carried had been fired accidentally.
The complainant in the assault case
was Mrs. Mary Johnson, who lives in
an apartment over the coal and ice
store which Gass operates at the Sher-
man avenue address. Mrs. Johnson
and the other witnesses told of the
occurrence in the Office of Assistant
United States Attorney Ralph Given
this morning. No papers were issued
in the case.
Testifying in Judge Robert E. Mat
tingly'S court, before whom GasS stood
trial on the discharging firearms count.
Mrs. johnson said she was attracted
by noise on the street about 10
o'clock last night, rushed to the win
dow and as she reached there GasS
fired his gun. The defendant, dressed
in hunters garb, told the court he had
left shell in his double-barreled shot
gun when he returned from 'possum
hunt the night before. Planning to go
hunting again last night. he carried
the flrearm to his Office, Gass said,
broke" 1t at the entrance, and was
himself frightened when 1t exploded.
The court took the incident to be en-
tirely accidental and dismissed the
charge. Attorney j. William Shea ap-
peared for Gass.
