TACOJIA THEOXGS GREET BELL
Thousands of Children March and
Patriotic Programme Is Held.
TACOMA. Wash, July 14. (Spe
cial.) One of the largest crowds Taco
ma ever has seen in the business dis
trict greeted the Liberty Bell on its
arrival here this afternoon.
The bell was met at Seattle by a
business men's committee and the car
was switched from the railroad tracks
and hauled over the. -street railway
lines to the front of the Federal build
ing, where a speakers' stand had been
provided and temporary platforms
placed so all might view the famous
relic.
Thousands of children gathered at
the Central School and marched down
town, where each passed over the plat
form and touched the bell. Faternal
orders and Jackles from the Navy
yard with militiamen were in the
parade. Many business houses and
manufacturing plants closed at 4
o'clock. The cable line and traffic in
the Federal building block was sus
pended during the time the bell was
here.
The programme at the speakers'
stand was: Introductory address by
Walter Risk, chairman of the Tacoma
committee; prayer by Rev. Father P.
F. Hylebos: "Star-Spangled Banner."
by the audience accompanied by Coast
Artillery Band; address of welcome by

companied by band; address by Charles
Richardson and benediction by Rev. R.
S. Stubbs. The bell left for the south
at 6:30.
Governor Lister in the course of his
address referred to the fact that to
day the Liberty Bell had reached the
Pacific Ocean for the first time. He
said that from the facial expression of
the throngs and the exclamations of
the hundreds of thousands who had
seen the bell in Washington cities he
knew that its visit has stirred a
deeper patriotism and means a better
citizenship.
The bell's visit was most timely, said
the Governor, because it comes when
patriotism is needed more than ever
before owing to the international con
dition that is so complicated that the
people of the United States must be
ready to answer their country's call at
any time. The Governor added that he
believed it had been shown during the
bell's visit that the people are ready,
and are united.
