LLKS MAKE NERRY HERE. THIS WEEK State Convention to Be Marked by the Big Flag Day Parade. TAKE MARCHERS FOR MOVIES Nebraska Elks are Omaha. The gathering of Nebraska Elks once a year had its start in 1913. Up to that time Nebraska had only looked on, while members of the lodge from South Dakota, Iowa and Missouri held annual reunions, bringing together from 5,000 to 10,000 annually. Of course, a certain number went every year to the national convention, but the trip was usually too far and too costly. Four years ago, however, the begin- ning was made of a state convention. About seventy-five members gathered in Lincoln, but the event was only a meeting of delegates, and no provision was made for the women of the party. Then, in 1914, the members, still as delegates, gathered in North Platte, where there was a grand good time r everybody, though not more than 300 or 400 were present. There was a fine program of sports, including “broncho busting” and other cowboy stunts, a wild west show and last, but not by any means least, 3 fish bake, the North Platte hosts draining a lake and taking out 500 pounds of black bass for the visitors. Then at Fremont. Then came, in 1915, the big meeting in Fremont. About 700 attended this time, including many women, and the event was even more enjoyable than either of the previous ones. It is hoped that 2,500 may attend the meet- ing in Omaha. Preparations have been in progress for several days in the way of dec- orating the streets. There will be a court of honor, and posts have been set all the way from the city hall down Farnam street to Tenth street, and along Tenth to the Burlington depot, for flags and bunting. The posts will stay up until September for other events, incuding the Master Bakers, who are to be in session this week, and various other gatherings, including that of the Ak-Sar-Ben later in the summer. To Visit the Den. When the Elks arrive Monday they will be whisked off to the Omaha “den” for the evening, while the ladies of the party will attend a performance of “Inside the Lines” at the Brandeis theater. Tuesday there will be busi- ness sessions forenoon and afternoon. In the evening there wil be a dance and other festivities at the Field club. Wednesday morning there will be an excursion to the stock yards at South Omaha, the members returning for the grand parade_and other events the afternoon of Flag day.? Co-operating with ~the Elks the Commercial club, through Judge W. D. McHugh, has obtained 49,000 flags for those who will march in the pa- rade, 10,000 for the school children and 3,500 for the parochial schools. Isaac W. Miner of the Elks has also provided 1,500 flags for the marchers and 10,000 for the school children. Fully 3,000 other small flags will also be in evidence, . The Boy Scouts, the National Guardsmen, the Grand Army of the Republic, the Women’s Rehej corps, the Loyal Legion and the Sons of Veterans will be represented in the parade. y Altogether about 75,000 flags will be seen in one way or another. About a dozen bands will take part, includ- ing, besides all the Omaha bands, those of Plattsmouth, Blair, Oakland and the University band of Lincoln. Later there will be exercises in Hanscom park. Hitherto, until last year, the exercises since 1908 had been held in the Auditorium. There will be a prayer by Rev. Robert S. Lockhart, several songs, including “Tenting on the Old Camp Ground” and “America,” an address by General George H. Harries, marshal, and other speeches by Rev. Dr. T. J. Mackay of Omaha and Dr. J. F. Poucher of Norfolk. They will pay tribute to the flag, tell what it stood for since the foundation of the gov- ernment, and say kind things, too, about the Elks, who have for several years managed these Flag day pro- grams. Last year pictures of the parade used up 1,000 feet of film. This year it is expected that 2,000 feet will be consumed. Omaha Business Men Out on Auto Trade Excursion Starting at 7:30 o'clock yesterday morning and returning at 7:20 last night, seventy-five to eighty of the jobbers and manufacturers of Omaha, traveling in twenty-three automobiles, covered 140 miles.and visited the mer- chants of fifteen towns. They were splendidly teceived and at Nehawka were treated to strawberries and W CAM. The cities and towns visited by the Omaha business men were: Bellevue, Plattsmouth, Murray, Nehawka, Union, Wyoming, coming to Nebraska City Dunbar, Berlin, Avoca, Weeping Wa ter, Manley, Louisville, Springfield and Papillion. At none of the places was there any speech making. It was not a trip for this purpose. Instead, when the party reached the towns, the members scat- tered among the business houses, call- ng on men and firms carrying their Hampshire on Fire When It Goes Down With Earl Kitchener Aberdeen, Scotland, June 10.—The British cruiser Hampshire was seen |’ to be afire before it sank off the Ork- ney islands while carrying Earl Kitch- ener, the British war minister, to Rus- sia, according to statements of*men on trawlers and steamers arriving here from the Orkneys. The disas- ter occurred last"Monday night, only an hour after Earl Kitchener and members of his staff had embarked on the cruiser at the extreme north of Scotland. One trawler reported that the war- ship appeared to have blown up, al- though no sound of an explosion was heard, probably on account of a ter- rific storm that was raging. Twenty minutes after it was seen in distress and on fire, the Hampshire sank be- tween Markick Head and Brough of Birsay, off the western coast of the mainland of the Orkneys. The raft from the cruiser which | was flung ashore with twelve men from the Hampshire clinging to it was discovered by a policeman who was searching along the rocky and deso- late coast. The men were battered and exhausted. A few of them mur- mered “Kitchener was on board,” and then fell asleep. About eighty bodies were found along the cliffs, many of them still warm, In their terrific battle with the sea the clothing of some of the men had been torn from their bodies. Their hands and feet had been muti- lated in desperate efforts to climb the cliffs. According to the reports Earl Kitchener and the members of his staff were placed in one of the ship’s boats which got clear of the wreck, but was swamped in the terrific sea that was running.

DE FACTO TROOPS HELPLESS| Washington, June 10.—Anti-Ameri- can demonstration in northern Mexico continues, according to official advices today, particularly in the states of Chihuahua, San Luis Potosi, and Nue- vo Leon, and although the manifesta- tions thus far have been confined mostly te speech making, consular agents have reported that the temper of the people appears such that any eventualities might be possible. Americans are leaving for the bor- der in steadily increasing numbers. Under previous instructions, State de- partment agents in Mexico are giving every possible aid. In addition border agents have been instructed to urge those seeking to return to Mexico to stay on the American side of the bor- der for the present. Incited by Agitators. _Some reports said_the demonstra- tions were in part incited by agitators. Mass meetings were held at Saltillo last night at which many speeches condemning the presence of American troops in Mexico were made. Similar meetings have been held or are con- templated at other points. The only violence against American property reported was at Chihuahua City and Monterey where there are no consular agents. ; Statements from Americans reach- ing the border and also from consular agents in Mexico have indicated that while General Carranza’s forces were trying to overcome the demonstra- HA SUNDAY BEE: safety of the American expedition. is so closely concentrated as to be fully able to defend itself in any emergency, and also to lend protec- tion to a wide stretch of the border.
