Bank officials and directors are puzzling
over. circulars received by them during
the last few days requesting subscrip-
tons to defray some Indebtedness in con-
nection with the Liberty Bell, which win
be on exhibit at the Atlanta exposition
The circulars purport to be sent out by
the Columbian Liberty Bell Association,
and state that an indebtedness was in
CURED by the association IN sending the
bell to the worlds fair. That further
expense Will now be incurred by taking
the bell TO the Atlanta exposition and az
terward by making a tour of other south
ern cities, including Savannah. The cir
cular states that a subscription to defray
this expense is now being taken up among
the bank officials throughout the country
and requests a contribution from the
party TO whom the circular Is sent The
pleasure to be derived by patriotic citi-
zens in aiding such a worthy enterprise
is dwelt upon. The names OF prominent
bankers throughout the country who
have subscribed amounts varying from e
to $50 are given. The circular is in the
shape of a subscription list and the re-
cipient is requested to write his name
and the amount he is willing to give on
the list. A stamped envelop is enclosed
and the request is made that the list sbe
returned whether any subscription Is made
or not
The circular subscription list may Se
bona fide, but without exception every
business man who received one became
suspicious at once Several were sesn
by a Morning News reporter yesterday af-
ternoon who wanted to get hold of one Of
the circulars, but one and all had com
piled with the request to return the list
by means of the stamped envelope. The
understanding here is that the beh is to
be taken from Philadelphia 10 Atlanta
by a committee of the Philadelphia city
council and this being the case 1t is not
thought likely that subscriptions would
be asked to defray the expenses Of taking
the bell to ,lanta or anywhere else
The only suggestion of a visit Of the bell
to Savannah is that 1t might be brought
by this route on its way to and from the
exposition, which, indeed, is not unlikely
