There was a meeting of the committee at the parlors of the Scottish Rite Friday evening at which thirty members were pres ent. It was decided thst a fund be raised among the members of the ahrlne In. this city with which to entertain the delegates attending the meeting of the Imperial coun cil at San Franclaco, either while enroute to the council or upon their return. All of the camels of Tangier will probably be out In July, when the delegates return from the Pacific coast. In Shrine circles a custom hss been established of the dele gates to the Imperial council, or as many of them as possible, accompanying the newly elected Imperial potentate to hla home temple and there on the green oaala, amid the frlenda who have tried the perils of the desert, resting for an hour before departing for , their v homes. Omaha Is happily situated In this respect, aa more, than sixty per cent ot the temples ot the country are east of the Missouri river and the delegates to the Imperial council In the majority ot cases can paas through the Omaha gateway aa easily aa through any other. A few delegations from the extreme south will , go to San Franclaco over the southern . route, a number from further north will go weat by way ot Kansas City. A large number will go west by way of Omaha, but It Is the hope snd In tention of the representatives of Tangier temple to bring the majority of the dele gates back to their homea by way of Omaha. It thla' plan Is worked out there will be many trains at the depots st one time. There will be hundreds of the wearers ot the fea and tiger's claws at the hall and Tangier will have a hearty welcome and entertain ment for all. " ' Following precedent. Colonel Akin will be elected Imperial potentate. When he re sume to Omaha Tangier temple will give him a rousing reception. While the pro gram la still In tbs tentative stage and subject to many changes, there may be parades In which the visitors will take part, an Immense banquet, balls and recep tions to the visitors. This will not end' with the visit of the delegations, but will continue, to a greater or less extent, dur ing the vear and tha wava and means com mittee, as large and atrong as It la, believes that It has wobk to keep It active until the day the visitors- begin to arrive. The committee charged with arranging t:r the headquarters- of Tangier temple at San Francisco has been instructed to engage rooms at ths Palace hotel. This hou haa been selected as the headquarter for the Imperial potentate and hla party, and the temple of the next Imperial potentats will be located at headquarters close to those of the present officers.' The rooms thus secured will be used ss a general ren dezvous for the Nebraska delegations and here they will entertain their friends. Each visitor to the council and each delegate will secure personal quarters to suit him self. At the meeting of the members of the temple Friday evening it waa decided to hold ths semi-annual ceremonial sess'on April 18, and applicants for sdmisslon tt the order are now being enrolled. It Is expected that the class will bs the largest In the history of the temple, and that tha easlon will be one of the moat attractive.
