BULLET HOLE In CLOCK FACE
Vandalism Mt Independence Hall on
Ncw Year Eve.


Philadelphia, Jan. There is small
round hole in the south dial of the clock
in the tower OF independence Hall! 1t is
located on the lower edge Of the figure
one in the Roman numeral six and marks
the celebration OF the advent OF the New
Year IL is undoubtedly the result OF a
pistol shot. bat the police dsny the
discharge of any firearms at the time
that the damage was done and are at
loss to explain whence the missile
came which caused this symmetrical op-
ening and so successfully frightened the
men on the inside.
For years il has been the custom of the
superintendents Of the hall and The park
to be in the clock tower when the New
Year is rung in. and shortly before mid
night Superintendent Rice and Assistant
Superintendent Reeves, of the building.
and Superintendent Schwartz and his as
sistant, Dave Fleet, the custodians of the
park repaired to the tower. The old bell
had pealed out the first note Of the mid
night hour, when there was crash and
something came whistling dangerous
close to John Reeves head. What il was
no one Will say. but it left TO mark its
track the little round hole in the cock
face.
Sergeant Roster and Policeman Gal
leena were standing upon the steps of the
State House facing the square when the
! bell rang and they are most positive in
their statements that there were but
three people in the park at that time and
that they were not in a position to have
caused the damage They are equally
certain that no shots had been fired up
to that time One reserve policeman stat
ed that he had been on the Independence
Hall beat for nearly ten years and that
the quietest New Year Eve celebrat on
he had ever known was that of Saturday
night.
