LIBERTYBELLIS
OFF ON ITS TRIP
ACROSS NATION
Every Precaution Has Been
Taken to Safeguard Ven-
erated Relic.
IT HAS SPECIAL TRAIN
Visit to Exposition Will Total
10000 Miles and Cost
. $75000.
PHILADELPHIA. July 7. — The
Liberty Bell precious relic of the
American revolution started Mon-
day on its eighth and longest jour-
ney from Philadelphia since It was
first hung in the old statehouse of
the province of Pennsylvania in 1762.
It goes to the Panama-Pacific inter-
national exposition and before it is
returned to its big glass case in In-
dependence Hall next November or
December itawill have traveled more
than 10.000 miles and will have been
seen by millions of people.
On Its journey to San Francisco the
Liberty Bell special train will tra-
verse Pennsylvania Ohio. Indiana
Illinois lowa. Missouri. Kansas Ne-
braska. Colorado. Wyoming. Utah
Idaho Washington Oregon and Cali-
fornia.
Elaborate arrangements have been
made for the journey and everythin-
that will aid in safeguarding the bell
from injury has been done. Four po-
licemen from the Philadelphia traf-
fic squad will guard the relic until it
is again returned to Its home.
It Has Special Train.
The train consists of a baggage
car diner three sleepers a special
car for th reception of guests en
route andra car for the bell which
will be at the rear. This Is a spe-
cially constructed flat car with an
iron railing at the sides and ends
j American flags wave from staffs at
each corner and there are other deco-
rations in American colors.
The councllmanlc committee in
charge of the journey announced
that in hanging the bell the crack
In it will be on the right hand side
of the car as It journeys.west.
Even cities traversed In the night
will get a glimpse of the relic a
system of illumination having been
devised that will throw a blaze of
light on the bell as it passes through
in the darkness.
Shock absorbers have been in-
stalled on the flat car to keep the
bell from being jolted. The train
crews will be specially picked for
their carefulness tn starting and
stopping trains. The speed limits
across the continent will not be less
than eighteen miles an hour nor
more than 35 miles. The schedule
will be rigidly observed so that
crowds may not be kept watting be-
yond the time appointed for the train
to go through their communities.
Another absolute rule the commit-
tee has made is that the bell will not
under any circumstances be taken
from the car for the purpose of pa-
rading it through the streets. Many
municipalities have been advised to
build movable platforms the height
of the flat car with an incline at
each end so that children may go up
one Incline pass the hell touch it
If they care to and then pass down
the incline at the other end of the
platform. Where these platforms are
provided the railing on one side of
the car will he removed.
Booklets Tell Its History.
During stops booklets containing
the history of the bell cards with a
picture of the relic and buttons also
containing a ptcSure of the bell and
the American flag will be distributed
to children. It will take hundreds of
thousands of these souvenirs to sup-
ply the demand. To the ‘governors
and mayors the history of the bell in
small bound volume will be pre-
sented. Governors have been invited
to journey with the bell through
their respective states.
There will be no official souvenirs
of the journey except those distrib-
uted free by the escorting commit-
tee. The committee also refused to
make any concessions to moving
picture concerns virtually every such
enterprise in the country having ap-
plied for the privilege of sending
representatives on the trip. The com-
mittee however purchased a special
moving picture machine for its own
use. Pictures will be taken through
the journey and films will be fur-
nished to public schools without ex-
pense. In short the city council has
placed a strict ban upon commer-
cialism in connection with the trip.
The train will arrive In San Fran-
cisco Friday night July 16. and Sat-
urday. July 17 will be Liberty Bell
Day at the exposition. Early in the
morning the relic will be conveyed
to Its place In the Pennsylvania
building on the exposition grounds
where exercises will be held
The bell will leave San Francisco

les. San Diego. Arizona and Texas.
The details of the return trip have
not yet been completed but it is vir-
tually certain that the special train
will go through St. Louis Indtanapo.
Ils and Cincinnati.
Crack Is Cutting Larger.
After each return of the bell there
has been a movement started <o pre-
vent the precious metal from leav-
ing the city again. The crack in it
has been slowly extending and there
has been fear that in its journey the
bell might split in two. Opposition <o
Its leaving the city on this trip was
bitter but the city council voted
that It belonged to the American
people and that opportunities to view
it should be given whenever possible.
Sending the bell to tile western
coast will cost the city of Philadel-
phia $75000. The escorting commit-
tee of 26 councilmen will pay their
own expenses.
The four policemen who will con-
stantly guard the bell were specially
picked for their fitness. Each Is more
than six feet in height.
FOURTH WAS QUIET ONE
There Were IVw Accidents in Texas
But Day Was Generally Observed.
AUSTIN Tex. July 7.—Carrying
out the recommendations of the state
fire insurance commission made
through State Fire Marshal W’allace
Inglish a "safe and saue” Fourth of
July wa« observed throughout the
state. According to reports received
by Mr. Inglish there was a decided
absence of casualties and the use of
fireworks was generally prohibited
I throughout the state by the issuance
I of proclamations by the mayor® of
the Texas cities. He also pointed
I out that the people generally were
becoming educated to the point
where they preferred to listen to
patriotic speeches and quiet celebra-
tions than a display of fireworks and
other explosives.

THE SAN A
SPAIN IS PREPARING
FOR EVENTUALITIES
Hurried Gathering of Guns and
Supplies Causes much Spe-
culation As to Object.
MADRID June 22.—(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press.)— The
Spanish government recently has
been active In the preparation ot
military and naval armament. Artil-
lery small arms and projectile fac-
tories are working night and day.
Military and naval commissions
have left for the United States and
Italy to acquire arms and ammuni-
tion and machinery for their manu-
facture. There is talk also of the
acquisition by Spain of submarines
and mines for coast defense.
All these activities are being con-
ducted with the greatest secrecy the
government having requested the
press to maintain rigid silence on
the subject. It is said that the mo-
tive is to strengthen Spain and pre-
pare her for any event which may
follow the present war.
The idea seems to be that Spain
should be able to defend her own
territory and particularly the
Balearic Islands and the Canary Isl-
ands. should Spanish possessions en-
ter Into the calculations of the mak-
ers of the final terms of peace.
Besides this motive the Spanish
government prominent Spaniards
say fully realizes that It has been
negligent in military and nazal mat-
ters.
Suggestions that these prepara-
tions on the part of Spain may be in-
dicative of desiima against Portugal
or Gibraltar are denied.

sence he visited Matagorda Bra-
zoria. Jackson Fort Bend and

said wa® among the negroes and
