PLUNGE FIRST FEATURE Breakfast at Portland Hotel, Tour About City Before Parade and Another Trip Later Among t . Events on Programme. Philadelphia's Select and Common Councils and other officials of the Quaker City who are accompanying: the Liberty Bell to San Francisco were royally entertained during their stay In Portland. From the time they ar rived with the bell at 6:55 o'clock until they left at noon they were kept on the go by the local entertainers. At the depot the party was met by a large committee, including: J. A. Currey, E. M. Sensenich, W. H. Craw ford, "Wallace McCamant, T. M. Ander son, C. H. Thompson, Lieutenant-Colonel Henry C. Cabell, C. F. Beebe, Louis G. Clarke and others. They were taken directly to the Multnomah Club for an early morning- plunge. Refreshed from their awim in a tank of sparkling, cold Bull Run water the party was hurried by automobile to the Portland Hotel, where a typical Oregon breakfast was served to them and a large number of local people, in cluding city and county officials. IJlninf5-loom Decorated. The dining-room was attractively decorated with red. white and blue bells, American flags and sweet peas. Pretty Liberty Bell menus were furnished- Thfl Tia -t-rrlr "i f lrwan berries and cream, Portland produced rolled oats, broiled Columbia River sal . mon and other delicacies. At the close of the breakfast Mayor Albee made a short address of welcome In which he declared that Portland was decidedly glad to get a chance to see the Liberty Bell and was pleased to extend a welcome to such a large dele gation, of officials from another great city. The visitors and their hosts then hurried outside, climbed Into waiting touring cars, and whizzed forth to see the city. They were accompanied by the local committee .members who ex plained the sights. The trip took them over Hillside Parkway, Portland Heights, Mount Tabor and various other points of interest and beauty about the city. The tour was con cluded in time for the visitors to mount the reviewing stand to witness the parade. Tonr Is Resumed. Afterward the tout was resumed for a , half hour, the party being taken to the depot in time to -catch the train at noon.

Mrs. Bondurant was largely instrumental in uuinimng tne passage of the mothers pension bill by the 1913 Legislature. SYSTEM TO BE REVISED Amendments Affecting Efficiency Ratings Being Prepared. The city's efficiency system, which has been the cause of so much trouble at the City Hall during the past year, will be revised. Commissioner Daly, who once before attempted to have the system abolished as a failure, is at work on amendments to change the procedure. He says it may bo possible to work out a system which will bo of some benefit arid will avoid bad fea tures of the present system. The changes to be recommended have not all been worked out yet, but it is said 'that they will be extensive. Mr. Daly refuses at present to operate his department under the system, having ignored it since his recent attempt at SPIRIT OF PATRIOTISM INSPIRES BELL PARTY Members of Escort Find Enthusiasm Along Route bo Great That Sleep Is Practically Unknown Since Departure From Philadelphia; THIS detail of traveling as a mem ber of the Liberty Bell escort isn't one continuous pleasant sen sation after all, as some people seem to think it Is. It's pleasant all right, if you don't care about your sleep. No one gets to sleep much on the trip, but, outside of that, everything is just lovely. People have no respect for time when it comes to paying respect to the precious old bell. Regardless of whether it is day or night, they aro out in force young and old, big and little, native Americans and naturalized citi zens, all moved by the same patriotic impulse. Ho the Philadelphians who are in the official party have had little chance for a good, square night's sleep since they left home nearly two weeks ago. "I never saw such enthusiasm," Bald Dr. John H Lock, a member of the Common Council, who is in the official party. "Every station has given the bell a great reception, no matter what time of the day. or night we passed through, and no matter whether we stopped or not. "Some of tho most out-of-the-way stations, with only two or three houses and a blacksmith shop, have turned out some of the biggest crowds and always a band. It's the bands that keep us from sleeping. By the time we get to going good at night wo hit a little unimportant place and are greeted by a cheering crowd and a band. Even when the train doesn't stop the band is on the job. Tou can imagine about how much sleep we get. None In Party Complain. "Yet no one in our party Is com plaining. We all realize that tho peo ple want to see the bell dearly, and that many of them will have little other opportunity of seeing it. When we get to San Francisco we may bo able to get a little sleep." Further Interruptions to slumber are promised tonight, when the train is scheduled to stop for ten minutes at Medford at 2 o'clock In the morning. Medford promises to have a big crowd out. Ashland, too, gets a stop of about 20 minutes at 3 o'clock this morning. A canopy of electric lights is fixed over the bell. The lights beam all night, so people can see the bell whether the train stops or not. "I have been on five other of the seven trips taken by tho Liberty Bell in recent years, and there Is no doubt but that more Interest and more patriotism is being shown on this trip than ever before," said William H. Fel ton, secretary of Common Council of Philadelphia, who was with tho offi cial party yesterday. ''It might be claimed that the reason for tho greater display is that the bell has become better known, or that there is greater patriotism now on account of the war, but I believe that the secret of the whole thing is the Western spirit. Children's Parade Is Praised. "I went with tho bell to Chicago, to St. Louis, to Atlanta, to Boston and to SIDELIGHTS ON VISIT THE coming of tho Liberty Bell meant liberty for all the prison ers in tho women's section of the City Jail. There were only two Miss Daisy McWiiliams and Mrs. Anna Edwards both of whom were held for minor of fenses. "Wo are missing our only chance of ever seeing the Liberty 3ell," they told Matron Patterson Wednesday. . This touched the heart of-the matron and Municipal Judge Stevenson was peti-, tioned to free the women, tie oia no willingly, as their terms were almost completed. For a moment yesterday morning, as the crowd swayed uneasily about the Liberty Bell, all struggling to get a close view, the sun burst through a rift pf clouds and cast a golden halo about the emblem of freedom. "Hooray!" shouted the crowd. And tho sun timidly hid Its face again. Lost: One blue and green turban. In the wake of the crowd that surged past the Liberty Bell yesterday morn ing, was left a woman's hat. It was small, of turban style, with a color ing of blue and green, and a, black velvet ribbon trailing behind. Specu lation was rife as to the reason the hat was left. Did the woman lose her headgear in a mad fight for position near tho Bell? Or, did she doff her hat. intentionally, and cast it in front of tho emblem In salute? Tho last seen of the bedraggled and dusty little hat it decked tho top of a flagpole on the car bearing the Bell, and was traveling fast toward San Francisco. . Portland's entire police force was on the job yesterday. Day, first and second night reliefs were out in force, with Captains Moore, Inskeep and Cir cle in charge. To handle tho throng about the car upon which tho Liberty Bell was being displayed, 30 policemen were detailed to the one block on Fourth street, be tween Salmon and Main. These were under the personal directloriof Police Captain Moore. Crowds were orderly and no diffi culty was experienced In handling them, though the congestion on Fourth street was great. Arrangements were made by the Portland committee for baths for such members of the Philadelphia official party as might want baths during the Portland stop. It had been anticipated that possibly three or four of tho party might want baths. When tho train arrived It was learned that every member of the party wanted a bath. Instead of using bathtubs, the bunch was taken' direct to the Multnomah Club for a swim. At the Union Depot, just before the Bell train departed, a.little Japanese girl scrambled onto the Bell platform and stood for several minutes fondling the Bell and smiling with enthusiasm. . Mayor Albee got the best souvenir of the Bell's visit. Early in tho day he secured a copy of a souvenir book let being distributed and had every member of the Philadelphia official party sign up. Ho got the only sou venir of this kind: There was a gap between the mili tary division of the parade and the children's part when the procession reached, tho reviewing stand where the visting officials ' were stationed. City Commissioner Baker got a hand ful of the Liberty Bell badges and the visitors were entertained by watching a crowd of children scramble on the street for the badges. . . The clear, tintinnabulations, of a bell near the tall end of the parade yesterday morning, causing many peo ple to think that a miracle had been wrought, that the old bell of liberty had been repaired and that its inspir ing notes once more were proclaiming freedom as in the days when the Colo nists were struggling for their inde pendence from the British. But tho source of tho sound was only an attractive rart of the parade it self a brass, bell borne upon the shoulders of two members of McElroy's Charleston five distinct trips and I know that the celebrations being held everywhere this time excel anything I saw on those trips." "Great!" shouted Louis Hutt, acting chairman of the committee on the bell trip of the Philadelphia councils, as the children's parade passed by the re viewing stand. "That's great! Look at those children! Did you ever see anything to beat that! Look at that drill!" After it was all over, Mr. Hutt de clared that that was the best demon stration he has seen. "Thete has been nothing to equal it anywhere." ho as serted. . Robert Smith, a Councilman of Phila delphia, says it is wonderful the way people are turning out to see the bell. "Towns having a population of 400 or 500 are at tho depot with 1000 or 1308 people," he said. "They come from all neighboring villages. And then they say there is a lack of patriotism in our country. If there is. it surely isn't in tho West." Many Town. Iteqatdi Denied. "If anybody thinks there Is any lack of interest in the .Liberty Bell, they should take a look at the letters and telegrams we have received from vari ous cities asking to Bee tho bell." said Bernard J. McGuigan. "Small towns send letters and telegrams begging us to stop for only a few minutes. But we are at the mercy of the railroads and wo have to turn them down. We always go out and wave to the towns as we pass through, even if we cannot stop." John If Burton, sunerlntenrient rt the city shops in the bureau of water at Philadelphia, is the mechanic in im mediate charge of the bell.. He in spects the car every day and maintains a constant vigilance over the relic it self to see whether tho crack is ex tending up Into the rim any farther. The bell Is carefully suspended from an elastic frame, and the motion of the trip, says Mr. Burton, has not en larged tho historic fissure in its side. Reverence for Helle Shown. - j "I have been touched deeply by the reverence displayed by the people for the bell. Souvenir hunters have not tried to molest it in the least, as some Philadelphians said they might." Mr. Burton says that the boys who struck the bell with a stone as the train was passing from Pendleton to Walla Walla, the other day, were not vandals, but probably some excited and enthusiastic youngsters who were un able to see it at one of its regular stops and who calculated, perhaps, that to strike it with a stone was tho next best thing to touching it. II. Y. Darnall, passenger agent for tho Pennsylvania Railroad system at Philadelphia, has charge of the train and of the details for the trip. Mr. Darnall has served the railroad on two similar excursions when the bell was taken to Boston for the Bunker Hill celebration in 1903 and when It was taken to the world's fair at St. Louis in 1904. OF LIBERTY BELL nlal times. A third musician, with a small hammer, struck the metal oc casionally, his notes harmonizing with the music of the band. William II. Souls, ex-newspaper man and at present one of County Clerk Coffey's worthy' lieutenants.' proved yesterday morning that ho is a real American. "Any man who takes his hat off to that old bell is a damn fool," spoke a smart aleck standing near "Bill." Vhack! Bill's ample fist landed squarely on the smart aleck's Jaw. The smart aleck turned a complete somer sault in getting himself together, but naa never another word to say. Bill is wearing a badly bruised and swollen fist, but he says it doesn't hurt him a bit. . Ten blind persons "saw" the Liberty Bell yesterday as guests of Mayor Albee. The 10 who-were invited, with other blind persons, to feel tho bell reported at the City Hall at 9 A. M. and were taken to the relic by Police Lieutenant Harms and Sergeant Rob erts. Each one in the party felt the bell. Afterward they returned to the Mayor's office and voted thanks to the Mayor for this, "the greatest privi lege we ever had." The blind persons In the party were Frank E. Sanders, J. F. Myers. Mrs. J. F. Myers, R. M. Leakey, Charles H. Ellis, Wendel Helm.- O. H. Simons. B. O. Carson, John S. Peters and Fred Miller. Among the most interested persons in the crowd of Liberty Bell fans yes terday was Mrs. John J. Murray and daughter.- of 3026 Sixty-second street .Southeast. Their husband and father is Major John J. Murray, who was commander of tho official escort for tho boil at Chicago in 1893. Major Murray achieved a notable record as an offi cer in Chicago and has a whole string of medals conferred upon htm at va rious times for bravery. He was In charge of a Chicago battalion that was sent to tho Philippines during tho Spanish-American War. A few years ago the family moved to Portland, where it has lived ever since. A big bouquet of roses via dropped onto tho bell car early In the morning. To It was attached an envelope, upon which was Inscribed: "Grand old Liberty BelL We are loyal to tho story of 1776 Ellsworth Relief Corps, No. 3, Vancouver, Wash." Inside the envelope was a card which read: "In God w-e trust. Ring out tho old; ring In the new James A. Snodgrass, Ellsworth Relief Post. No. 2. Grand Army of tho Republic." An other card bore a similar message from Mrs. Ellsworth. Frank L. Burckhalter, superintendent of the Southern Pacific, took personal charge of the movement of the bell car from its place on Fourth street to the Union Station. A large crew of men had to work rapidly but carefully to remove the platform across which thousands had passed and to move the car through tho great crowds, but the task was accomplished on time, and no one was hurt.

They then were hurried to tho depot In time for their departure. Bell In Wildly Cheered. As soon as the parade passed the bell an electrio tractor was coupled to the bell car,'- the platforms were removed and it was taken slowly down Fourth street. Tho street was a solid mass of humanity clear to the depot and the rello was cheered wildly as It moved slowly along. At tho depot It was transferred to a switch engine and hurried around and attached to the rear end of the special train. Thousands of people were at the depot and many were per mitted to walk up on the car and touch the bell. At 12:05 o'clock the "big mogul pull ing the special train -whistled a loud farewell, the crowd cast a last long glance at tho relic, which remained uncovered, and the train moved out. amid the cheering of those remaining behind and the rheerlng and waving of a farewell by those on the train. "Yours was a great celebration." de clared Louis Hutt, acting chairman of the Councllmanic escort from Philadel phia, as tho bell was being prepared for tho departure. "That children's pa rade was a wonderful thing. Be sure." ho said to Mayor Albee. "to have your newspapers tell your people that wo enjoyed It and will tell our people what a wonderful spirit you have when wo get back home." The official party, upon returning to the train, found their five cars beau tifully decorated with roses and sweet peas. Also they found in their diner several big Chinook salmon, which they probably enjoyed for dinner last night. The decorations of the train and at the Potland Hotel, where tho breakfast wis served, were furnished by a com mittee of ladles consisting of Mrs. John F. Beaumont. Mrs. G. J. Frankel. Mrs. James N. Davis. Mrs. Isaac Lee Pat terson and Mrs. John H. Bagley. CHIEF FORESTER IS DDE II. S.
