ing Fraternity Men at
Convention
THEY'RE started in earnest.
Who are? '<•'■
The Elks.
The stint officially took place last
night at Temple Auditorium to the
stirring strains of "Auld Lang Syne"
before a crowd that filled every avail
able space and cranny In the big build
in*.
There were fully 6000 people In the
building, and It seemed as though half
as many more were outside trying to
get In after all the seats were filled.
There was no disorder, and half ■
dozen bands on the downtown streets
made music' for the crowds outside
while the official addresses of welcome
were being made Inside the Auditorium.
Crowd Good Natured
And such a good Matured crowd!
There were uniformed Elks present.
There were the wives and sweethearts
and daughters of Elks, all In summer
finery, and altogether-It was as repre
sentative a gathering of good American
citizens as ever was gathered under one
roof when at the close of the overture
Grand (ihaplaln Rev, John Dysart
made the Invocation and the strains of
"The Lost Chord," sung by tho Elks'
quartet of Seattle lodge No. 228, swept
through the big building.
Everybody seemed bent on having a
good time Sm the crowd entered the
Auditorium, but somehow, once Inside,
there was a solemnity and meaning
about it all that was unexplainable
even to those who felt Its Influence.
Motley H. Flint, chairman of tho
Elks' reunion committee, delivered a
short address of welcome. In which he
stated thai the Los Angeles men ex
tended a hearty welcome with the smile
that will not come off. and then praised
the local advantages and informed the
visiting delegations that he believed
that they would learn to like California
so well that they would all stay hero
permanently.
Mayor Speaks for City
' After a contralto solo by Miss Lll
!lam Scanlan, Mayor George Alexander
delivered an address of welcome in be
half of the city of Los Angeles. Ho
said in part:
"In my capacity as mayor of the city
of Los Angeles. I welcome the grand
lodge of the Elks to our city. I also
Wish to extend my personal greeting
and welcome you as the representatives
of the 300,000 or more members of tho
order from the north, south, east and
west. i
"To the Individual members and their
friends, our city extends a hearty wel
come. You are our guests and we say
to you, may your stay be so pleasant
that yon will return and make us a
longer visit.
"We have many places for you to
visit, from the mountains to the sea.
You will find that the Pacific ocean
at our many seaside resorts furnishes
the best bathing In the whole world.
Our means of transportation are as
good as can be found In any country.
Every city, town and village will greet
you with open arms.
Elks' Sentiment Praised
"I greatly admire your new golden
rule, 'The j faults of our brothers wo
write upon the sands, their virtues
upon the tablets of our memory. These
are noble sentiments. This is true
charity. Your order Is noted for the
good it does in caring for the sick and
helpless. These good deeds make it
popular with our best citizens. Charity
and brotherly love are noble virtues.
, "Wo have a city which, in twenty
five years, has grown from a Spanish
pueblo to a magnificent metropolis of
more than 800,000 inhabitants and which
■we think has a future second to none
In the country. The keys of the city
are herewith handed to you and I hope
your stay will be all , that you have
looked forward to and wished for."
A salvo of applause greeted the ten
dering of the keys of the city and
the Elks' quartet. again came 'to the
front and was encored.
What turned out to be the feature of
the evening was the brilliant extempo
raneous | address •of ' Grand Exalted
Ruler Rush L. Holland, which was In
part as follows:
Thanks for Welcome
In the name of the Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks and '
on behalf of the three hundred and
odd thousand members of our fra
ternity, I humbly beg to thank the
people of California and of Los An- '
geles for the fervor and cordiality
of the welcome to which such elo
quent expression has been given.'
When Caesar led his cohorts
* back to Rome triumphant from the
campaign and seige and bloody con
flict with captives at s his wheels,

BEAUTY URGED
AT HARBOR END
OF LOS ANGELES
A. P. FLEMING HAS PLAN FOR
NEW WAREHOUSES
SAYS WATER FRONT SHOULD BE
PLEASING TO THE EYE
Chance for Angel City to Welcome
Visitors from Sea with Vista
That Has No Jarring
Note
I OS ANGELES will take a new po
i sitlon In municipal architecture
■■ which will be talked of by. every
visitor coining to the city If A. P.
Fleming, secretary of the harbor com
mission, has his way when the time
comes to adopt plans for construction
of the municipal warehouses at tho
waterfront.
Fleming, who has given a great deal
of study to the matter, believes that
an opportunity will be offered to pre
sent rows of city buildings which will
be so pleasing architecturally that they
will set a new standard in this coun
try.
Instead of the ordinary barnlike
structures, ugly enough to be almost
repulsive, he hopes to see warehouses
with exteriors so planned that they
will be beautiful and perfect architec
turally at no sacrifice of convenience
or loss of protection against nra or
other losses.
This can be done In such a way, Mr.
Fleming thinks, as to prove a great
advancement for Los Angeles, especial
ly as the, harbor will be a great
.show place. Municipal warehouses of
pleasing design will stand out in great
contrast to the bare and ugly power
houses at Niagara Falls and the prom
inent buildings at any harbor or ocean
landing place. In the United States.
-. Good for Strangers
"There is no reason why Los An
geles should not build warehouses and
other - buildings at tho harbor which
will be a pleasure to look at, and there
are many reasons why the city, should
do so," said Mr. Fleming. "Thousands
of people will get their first sight of
Southern California at the harbor
the Panama canal is finished, and
thoußHiuls mo.c who come to'visit Cut
ifornia will go down to look ;.t It. rf i
they see bleak, ugly . building* :they
probably will think nothing of them,
as such structures are the rule In every
city in this country, but If, on • the
contrary, they observe modern and
well equipped warehouses. which at the
same time are of striking and unusual
beauty in construction they will com
ment widely on this Innovation and Los
Angeles will get credit for Initiating
an idea which la certain to be copied
in other places. <r.
[ "There need be no sacrifice of the
purposes for which the buildings are
Intended to make them pleasing to the
eye. They may be fully as efficient as
warehouses while adding to the stately
beauty that a harbor should possess.
The same idea Is possible of applica
tion to the Owens river power houses.
It would be an Interesting thing for an
easterner who may be mountain climb*
ing In Los Angeles county to come on a
power house of striking beauty, harmo
nious with the surroundings, set up on
the mountain side, perhaps like a
chalet or castle.

Whether the man from lowa or the
man from Cincinnati will be the next
grand exalted ruler of the B. P. O. EL

as woon as the preliminaries are fin

made the following statement last
night:
"The day's developments have been
most encouraging. My confidence in
the result was strong yesterday, but it
is 100 per cent stronger tonight.

wHi bo cast tomorrow will not exceed
1130, and of this number 1 believe I will
receive 700.

made by the opposition are absolutely

Sammis Springs Letter
The Sammis men. in order to coun
teract the speech made a few nights
ago by Grand Exalted Ruler Rush Ho!,
land, printed and circulated yesterday
the following extract from a letter
from Mr. Holland to Mr. Sammis,

"I somehow feel that the Herr
mann candidacy will not appeal
very strongly to the order in gen
eral, and that the situation is ripe
f<,r kicking up a lot of trouble se
riously affecting friendships which
have existed for years in the grand
lodse. This course would not re-

order would profit by it; on the
contrary I believe it would be the
beginning of the end of the splen
did history, growth and develop
ment of the order during the past
decade. I need not assure you of
your popularity in the order, and
I trust that you have not lost
faith in your old-time friends. On
the contrary they are as loyal to
you as ever and their loyalty will
continue regardless of what may
come or go."
