BELL NOT iff
Sons of Revolution Decry
Bringing Relic West.
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

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

peanut ballet, carried off tho palm for

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."

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. The en

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-

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
