RESOLUTIONS ARE PASSED Oregon Society to Send Memorial to Philadelphia Protesting Against Removal or Liberty Bell From Independence Hall. That the Liberty Bell ought not to bo shipped about the country or brought to Portland, even for the Rose Festival. Is the opinion of the Oregon Society Sfins of the American Revolution. At the an nual meeting of the society, held at the rooms of the Commercial Club yesterday, a resolution was unanimously adopted, protesting against a removal of the bell. The resolution was prepared by H. G. Piatt, but was presented', in his absence, by Thomas G. Greene. A. A. Lindsley moved the adoption of the resolution, which prftvoked considerable discussion. W. B. Wells and FYanciu I. McKenna were at first In doubt as to whether this action was for the best, but voted in favor of it when reminded of the fragile condition of the bell. Attention was called, by those who took part in the discussion, to the fact that the bell has. In recent years, developed a crack In addition to the historical one. and that if it is brought to Portland a precedent will be established which New Orleans, Ixs Aneeles or other cities may wieh to follow. "Being approbate to Independence Hall, where Its work was done. It is no more an article of merchandise to be hipped about the country than Is Wash ington's home at Mount Vernon." said one of the speakers. The resolution ts as fallows: Wliprni. The municipal authorltln of th City of Philadelphia re being urged to per mit the I.thertv Bell to be transported tTo5 the conntrr to be exhibited In Port-r-t the annual Rose Show, and subse quently exhibited at the Seattle Exposition; ""whereas. The Liberty Bell, as one of the acred relics of the birth of our Nation the very voice by which the American peo ple announced their first Independent act when the United States took Its place amor.it the nations, and an inspiration ana reminder for all subsequent generations ought to be kept In Philadelphia with those hallowed associations which Rive to an his torical relic much of its aacredness and meaning: and Whereas. The Liberty Bell Is already seri oualy cracked and ought not to be sub jected to the risks of travel, and should not be separated from the sacred associa tions which constitute its historical setting, but should be maintained as a sacred altar at the shrine of Liberty; now, therefore, be It Resolved, by the Oregon Society Sons of the American Revolution, that the Mayor and Council of the City of Philadelphia are respectfully urged not to permit the Liberty Bell to be removed from its home, and that the Liberty Bell be not sent on any more journeys, but retained as a sacred rollc at the shrine of Liberty; and be it further Resolved. That the secretary of this so riety be Instructed to transmit copies of this resolution to the municipal authorities of the City of Philadelphia. Resolutions of sorrow for the death of Rev. W. S. Wright, W. B. Chase, Francis S. Dodge and Lewis H. Lamberson were adopted, and the following officers for the year were elected: President, "Wallace McCamant; vice-president.

Opening with a matinee at the Heilig yesterday afternoon and with a perform ance last night, Portland Lodge, No. 142, B. P. O. Elks, presented the girly twlrly musical tamale, "A Night In Bohemia." to a large audience. This clever pot pourrl was under the direction of T. P. Getsz, with a cast of over 50 people. Among the principals were Joe Hayes, In the role of Edmund Keen, a retired actor; Frank Moore, the tramp; Miss Sherma Dana, as Dolly Nobles; Meyer Marks, Jr., fit a police officer; Harold Germa'nus. an up-to-date New York chap, and Frank D. Hennessy as a for mer minstrel, all of whom sustained their various parts in an admirable man ner which called forth unstinted ap plause. "A Night In Bohemia" has just suffi cient plot upon which to hinge a me lange of bright songs and dances and a number of local thrusts, with Mayor Lane, Dr. C. W. Cornelius, Joe Day and Chief Gritzmacher as the. targets. An other performance will be given tonight. An individual success was scored by Miss Sherma Hall, the 16-year-old daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Dana, who Is a granddaughter of the founder of the New York Times and a cousin of Charles Dana Gibson, the artist. This was Miss Dana's initial appearance on any stage, and In the leading feminine role she proved herself most gifted hir trlonlcally. Naturalness is one of her charms, while she reads her lines, sings and dances with the grace and abandon of a veteran. Joe Hayes paid a number of handsome tributes to the B. P. O. E. and also gave cleverly the curse scen.e from "Richelieu." Meyer Marks, Jr., and Frank Moore had the comedian roles and were respon sible for the local gags. The "Farewell Toot-toot Good-bye" song, by Frank Hennessy, and "Come Back," by Helen Patges, received a number of recalls. Harold Germanus, singing "My Portland Girl" and "It's Naughty to Be Kissed," which he sang In conjunction with Miss Dana, made hits In both. Sixteen girls attired in khaki suits gave the march of the Teddy girls, executing the Intri cate' steps with grace and precision. Al bert Bishop, however, with his sprightly peanut ballet, carried off tho palm for encores." being recalled for the seventh time. Bessie Wlckle Introduced an origi nal Sis Hopkins act, and Bessie Kelly, with the assistance of Messrs. Griffin and Copper and the Tuxedo Quartette, gave effectively a song called "Violet Was a Maiden Fair." Considerable praise. Is due little Chris tina Martin, who Is decidedly one of the cleverest youngsters seen before the footlights In this city. The- excellent work of the Tuxedo Quartette is especially worthy of men tion. ' The finales for the two acts were most spectacular, the last In particular, concluding with a serpentine shower and a hurrah for "Old Glory."

FOR RIVER SURE S5G00 VANCOUVER HOPES TO SECURE DEEPER CHANNEL.' City on Columbia "Will Ask Next Congress to Appropriate Fund to Remove Sandbars. VANCOUVER, Wash., Feb. 22. (Spe cial.) Will B. DuBois, chairman of the Commercial Club deep water committee, received a telegram this morning from Congressman Jones saying that J5000 had been secured for a new survey of the river between Vancouver and the mouth of the Willamette and that a fund for the maintenance of the present channel had .been provided for in the river and harbor bill, this available fund being ,17,000. The new survey of the river will be made with the object of having such im provements made that there will be a permanent deep-water channel between this harbor and the mouth of the Wil lamette. It is expected to have built two jetties, one out from the Oregon shore, and one from the Washington shore. Vancouver will work to have the Government engineers, when they have made the survey, recommend that per manent Improvements be made.

Portland, Oregon. to the cost of constructing a permanent deep-water channel below Vancouver and their , estimate was J26O,O0O, but they did not at that time recommend that this Improvement be made, for the commerce then, it was thought, would not justify the outlay. But the situation is different now that Vancouver is growing rapidly and has the North Bank Railroad, so that Chairman DuBois expresses himself as confident that the engineers will rec ommend the permanent Improvements. Vancouver is also after a Federal bulld- lng. Today th president of the com mercial Club sent the following telegram to 6enator Piles at Washington: "Vancouver Commercial Club urges that appropriation of $40,000 for site for Federal building at Vancouver be pro vided for in the civil sundry bill."
