BELL AT BIG FAIR
Great Patriotic Demonstration
i'm Honor of Relic.
Champ Clark Principal Speaker
at Special Ceremonies.

San Francisco. July 17-This is
Liberty Bell Day" at the Panama
Pacific exposition. After it's long trip
across the continent. during which it
was viewed and honored by thousands
the famous old bell which sounded
the first notes of American liberty
was the center of attraction at the
big fair here today.
Top-hatted reception committees,
policemen, reporters and guards were
swallowed here last night IN a tumult-
uous throng which gathered to greet
the bell. The multitude presented a
fitting climax to the tempestuous well
come which greeted the bell at every
stopping place since it left Phila-
delphia July 5. Last nights patriotic
outburst was unriva1led in this state in
times of peace.
Today the bell was installed in the
Pennsylvania pavilion at the Panama
Pacific exposition.
Thousands thronged the exposition
grounds to see the bell, while special
elaborate ceremonies were held in
honor OF the famous relic. Speaker
Champ Clark delivered the principal
address of the day.
The Liberty Bell was escorted
through the downtown streets and to
the exposition grounds following its
arrival here by United States troops
and thousands of citizens.
Not since "Wilson Day was OBJ
served at the exposition have such pa
triotic scenes been enacted as those
honoring the Liberty Bell today. Be
tween lines of waving flags, guarded
by military escort, marching to the
music of massed bands, the bell moved
between lines of cheering men and
women to the reviewing stand from
which speeches were delivered. Later
it was established in the building
where it will be viewed by througs
of exposition visitors.

pressage both ways on their films that
are submitted for censoring and are
forced to hire theatre in Topeka in

dollars to the reel before the picture
can be shown. This means that SIS
900 or $4,000 a year is paid out by
the film manufacturers for the cen

State Makes a Profit.
A statement recently was issued by
the State Board of Censorship that
showed receipts of $4,000 since the
law went into effect April IL, of this
year and disbursements of something
like $500, q clear profit of about 81, 600
a month for the state.
Some further facts and figures that
will prove interesting came forth when
the recent ruling of w. d. Ross, State
superintendent of Public Instruction,
was sent out to the exhibitors and ex-
change men in this territory.
This notice was to the effect that all
films in the state that had not been
censored would have to be submitted
for censorship. There are in the state
something like four thousand films
about 1,S00 of which have been CEN
sored. The balance of these have
been showing in the state as they had
been in use there before the law went

the valley below the capital, according
to dispatch from General Carranza
to his agency here. The message,
dated at Vera Cruz, said:
I am informed by General Con-

Zapata troops at Contreras, causing
them to lose 500 men, capturing five
locomotives, a large number of box
cars, nine cannon, over 100000 rounds
of ammunition, two machine guns,
several cases of cannon shells, the en-
