NAVY TOFEATURE " PARADE TONEHT All Ships Moored Here and the Naval Stations Plan Picturesque Display. Al ships moored near this city and all naval stations will put on a most interesting display during the parade tonight Capt. L. W. Townsend of this city, commanding Destroyer Di- vision No. 26, and the destroyer Wor- den, division flagship, has been placed in charge of the preparations for the naval contingent in this parade and he has obtained men from the various ships and stations and as much pe- culiarly naval equipment as he can put on the beach. Practically every- thing except the ships themselves will be in the parade Trained in Beach Operations. The Navy is trained for operations on the beach as well as on the sea &nd each ship is organized so that a landing force of artillery or infantry can be put ashore cn a moment's no- tice. In fact. it will be remembered. it was the naval infantry and artil- Tery. which took Vera Cruz and held it until the arrival of the Army. The seaman gunner's class at the Washington navy yard and the naval air station will furnish three platoons of bluejacket infantry for the pa- rade, and the destrover division, con- Risting of the destroyers Worden, Reid and Reuben James, anchored in Washington channel. will furnish a landing force of field artillery. drag- ging field pleces, In the naval section Capt.

More than 100,000 men, women and children from every state in _the Union—every civilized nation in the world, perhaps—stood more than four hours, much of the time in a drizzling rain, watching a pageant that rivaled the glorious pro- cession of the day before. The President and Mrs. Harding, surrounded by a distinguished group of high government officials, Shrine leaders -and diplomats. veviewed the parade from their stand in the Gar- den of Allah. It was the President— | Noble Harding—who received the | honors of the patrols Tuesday. But last night the Shrine salaamed before the first lady of the land amid the cheers of the thousands who crowded the stands in the garden. While the rain may have tempo-; carily Inconvenienced the spectators it later added much to the beauty of the pageant. The necklaced canopy of the Road to Mecca was mirrored in_the shining wet asphalt of Penn- sylvania avenue and as the fantas- tically uniformed Shriners stepped to the merry tunes of bands innumer- able, thev, too. were reflected in the glossy pavement. Had thev marched up a road of mirrors the effect could have been no more beautiful. Elaborntion of First Day. The parade was virtually the same | pageant that nassed in review the| day before but so numerous were the units, so tremendous the entire affair that scarcely a person along the streets failed to find sights by the gcores that dizzy braing simply could not absorb the first day. That Wasn- ington found nothing uninteresting in the repetition was evidenced by the fact that the crowds stood. almost to a_man, until the last unit | had melted from view around Wash- ington circle. TLulu Temple of Philadelphia carved its name larger than ever in the Shrine’'s Hall of fame. Reinforced by 2,000 nobles who hurried from the Quaker city on speclal trains yester- day, the sons of Lulu marched 3,000 strong and from the Peace Monument | to the Garden of Allah they were met with roars of applause.- With a band, a mounted guard, a patrol com- —— e SPECIAL NOTICES.

Tripoli Temple of Milwaukee marched in full evening dress—with capes lined with white silk, white spats and high silk hats. As they turned into the Garden of Allah red flares were set off behind them, the marchers standing out in sithouette- like studies in black and white. En route past the reviewing stand Tri- poli’s patrol.demonstrated its per- fect marching order by executing a series of the mosts difficult drills without a break. Kismet Temple of Brooklyn, N. Y., provided one of the best features of the evening with its wooden soldiers. Two score men whose boxed clothes, | Stff steps and flaring red- cheeks | formed made them look for all the world like real wooden soldiers, furnished: fun the entire length of the avenue. Upon reaching the President’s stand they stopped and executed a side-splitting drill. Both President and Mrs. Har- ding were still laughing heartily aft- er the unit had passed on. The crowd thoroughly agreed with El Mina Temple of Gaiveston, Texas, hen it stepped along the wet. streets singing— It never rains in Washington, It never rains, they say. “Oh, it never rains in Washinkton— But it Tained like hell today.” Behind Electric Signs. Many of the temples marched be- hind huge electric signs that blazed their names along the line of march. Others wore vari-cblored little bulbs on the toes of their shoes and the effect was splendid as every foot swung back and forth in perfect rhythm. Several had miniature elec- tric bulbs’ sprinkled all over their uniforms. Ben Hur, whose chariot made such a tremendous hit Tuesday morning, was all lighted up like a house afire. He led Ben Hur Temple of Austin, Tex. o The line of march was the same as A MAN, Fantastic Night Pageant Holds 100,000 on Avenue Four Hours President and Mrs. Harding Watch Gay- est Shrine Parade, Enhanced in Beauty by Effect of Rain U pon Lighted Route. that of Tuesday's pdrade. with Almas Temple leading followed immediately by Islam and Aloha temples of San Francisco and Honolulu, respectively, as escort to the imperial potentate—now Past Im- perial Potentate McCandless.

Secretary of State Hughes occupied | a seat in the front row a few feet to the left of the P’resident’s box. Secretary of Labor Davis sat behind him. They were the: only cabinet members in the presidential grand- stand. There were, however. numer-: ous prominent men and women scat- tered through this stand. The President wore a well fitting black coat. black bow tie and white flannel trousers and, his fez Mrs. Harding wore a dark dress, especially becoming. crepe terial to match the dress and on the left side was a black and white cock- ade. Each American flag that passed_the reviewing stand was saluted by Mrs. Harding, who stood at rigid military attention. It was thought that she might remain seated because of the strain of Tuesday and her activities of yesterday. But she insisted that she was going to arise for each salute. “Why shouldn't the women of this nation pay the same respect for Old Glory as the men do. No citizen of this country. man or woman, is any better citizen than 1 am. These Shrine’ demonstrations have been an inspiration, and I purpose hereafter to stand and give the proper salute when the American colors pass.” Those of the President's immediate party and those in the presidential grandstand did not stand throughout the parade as was the case during Tuesday's demonstration. They arose only to salute the passing of the colors. CHANTERS 70 ASK OFFICIAL STATUS Permanent Organization Ef- fected—To Petition Shrine Imperial Body. As guests of the Almas Temple Glee Club, thirteen leaders of various Shrine Temple Chanters met at 719 13th street northwest yesterday and organized the temporary Shrine Chanters of North America into a permanent body. The temporary organization was three years ago, with - Noble Arnold Spencer of Murat Temple, Indianapolis, at the head. He was re- elected yesterday. ‘The purpose is to promote interest in music in Shrine Temples and to combine for effective agitation for official recognition by the Shrine of the singing bodies of the temples. The Imperial Council only recognizes two uniformed bodies, the bands and the patrols. As the chanters have never been able to gain official recognition it was decided to organize and to submit the constitution to the next' Imperial Council. Last night a number of the visiting songsters, among_whom were chanters of Islam Temple, San Francisco, Damas- cus Temple, Rochester, and Irem Tem- ple, Wilkes-Barre, gave a concert at the Central High School. The following officers were elected Vice president. W. Stanley Hawkins, Damascus Temple, Rochester; record- ing secretary, John Froliger, Irem Temple, Wiikes-Barre; corresponding secretary, Ned Nelson, Murat Temple, and treasurer, Paul T. Robinson, lrem Temple. President Spencer appointed the fol- lowing committee chairmen, who will select their own members: Charles R.

Ohio Shrine temples, their families and friends, in the grounds at the rear of the White House. The President personally welcomed every one of the more than 2,000 men, women and children from “the old home state” and, following the handshaking, he mingled freely among his guests. Mrs. Harding stood at the railing on greetings to “those good folks from old visitors. She called down to them that she wanted to be “right down amongst but the doctor's order prevents me.” She was referring to her four- hour review of Tuesday's parade, when she stood practically all the time! There probably never was a more | happy ‘or more interesting and p: ful White House lawns. Bareheaded and attired in a well fitting palm beach suit, the executive of the na- tion gave every evidence of being de- lighted to be with these happy and enthusiastic Ohioans. He knew many of them by their first names, and many of them greeted him with “Howdy, Warren.” He greeted some of his friends of many years by plac- ing his arms about them or upen their shoulder as they recalled days gone by. To some of these he asked fbout absent members of their fami- es. The concerts and entertainments given by the bands and singers ac- companying the temples were thor- oughly enjoyed by the President and the “first lady.” Mrs. Harding at times kept time with the music by tapping her foot and at other times by motions of her arms. For a brief period she led the band, using her arms as a baton, while the leader stood aside smiling in admiratio She appeared familiar with the var ous airs, several of which were play- ed at her request. “My Hero,” for instance, was given extension committee; Robert Jones, Islam Temple, San Francisco, gram committee; Paul Petri, der Temple, Portland, Ore., ways and means, and Warren W. Grimes, Almas Temple, puhllcu‘y. ‘The constitution provides admit- tance to membership in the Shrine Chanters of North. America two lead- ers of every chanters' club and two chanters. President Spencer said he expected the membership to run nearly 400 when the various leaders were notified. | T et “PRINCE” GOES TO JAIL. HARTFORD, Conn,, June 7,.—Harold C.

Noble McGee related one of the earliest incidents with the Masonic emblem, now so well known o T the continent, the crescent and scimitar of the order. One of the earliest conceptions of this emblem, he said, was at a ladies’ party, given by Mecca Temple, back in Januar: 1884, The good wives of Masons at first seemed to be a bit skeptical of the Shrine, Noble McGee said, so it was thought they should be given some | special consideration. A ladies' night | was arranged, he sald, and the cres- cent and scimitar, emblematical of Arabian atmosphere. were designed into a shawl pin, which a jewler made into an attractive and useful orna- ment about three inches wide, (o be given as souvenir: Many Variations of Pin. So successful was the reception given the scimitar and rescent, Noble McGee sald. at this party, where was present William Florence, whose name was connected with the early history of the order, that later it was decided to make & smaller pin of gold to be worn on the Shriner's coat lapel. That, he said, was the! origin of the Shrine pin Many variations of the emblem have been evolved since that day. but the original one, copies of which are still used by Mecca, has the crescent turned points up, with the scimitar superimposed upon the points of the crescent, With the concave curve Having attended every Imperial Council session, except the past two at San Francisco and Des Moines, Noble McGee had high praise for the huga convention here in Washington, declaring it was a great success. In the interests of the order he has traveled the width of the continent many times. he said. !
