LIBERTY BELL MAY
Be SENT TO FRISCO
Effort Will Be Made To Take
the Historic Relic To. the
Panama Fair.
tRy Associated Press. J


PHILADELPHIA, April IA de-
termined effort will be made at to-
morrow's meeting of the city council
to secure the passage of an ordinance
permitting the removal of the historic
Liberty Bell from its shrine in Inde-
pendence Hall to the Pennsylvania
building at the San Francisco Expo
sition, where it will be exhibited until
the close of the fair.
Major Blankenburg and leaders in
council favor the movement.
Heretofore the project has been op.
posed mainly by patriotic orders and
by bodies of women who fear that the
precious relic might be destroyed in
railroad wreck or other accident.
Now those favoring the exhibit of
the bell in the far western city have
secured the support of Admiral Dewey
and General Miles. who. argue that by
the reason of conditions in Europe
this is good time to stir up patri-
otic sentiment among people of this
country.

the funeral of Prof. Thomas P. Louns-

Both were among the honorary pail
bearers, and although they shook
hands and exchanged few words,
their greeting was formal and rather
chilly. Neither the sunny smile ror
which Mr.. Taft is noted nor the still
more famous delighted" OF Mr..
Roosevelt was brought into play.
How do you do, Mr.. Taft?" How
do you do, Mr.. Roosevelt?" formal
clasp of hands. and it was over.
Later in the afternoon Mr.. Roose-
welt found time to ask about Mrs.
Taft, and on being informed that she
was, we'll, expressed a wish to be re.
membered to her. Still later, it was
observed, the two men conversed to-
gether for about minute, but there
appeared to be little cordiality be-
tween them. When the services were
over, Mr.. Taft hurried away without
bidding Mr.. Roosevelt goodby.
