GREAT CROWD VIEWS LIBERTY BELL HERE

Unusual Demonstration Given Famous Relic—Women Faint and Tots Get Lost in Stampede.

The cheers of thousands of men, women and children greeted the liberty bell when it arrived in Terre Haute Sunday afternoon, on the special Pennsylvania train, which is carrying the historic relic back to its home in Philadelphia. The train was about fifteen minutes late but the immense crowd waited patiently in the cold and gave a real demonstration of ^patriotic enthusiasm.

When the train pulled up to its stopping place, about 5:10 p. m., between Eighth and Ninth streets, the rush of the crowd for a sight of the

bell was so great that the patrolmen and firemen who had been stationed there could not handle the stampede, and it was some time before order was restored. The relic remained in Terre Haute thirty minutes and many of the throng that had gathered to see it were disappointed in that they did not have an opportunity to get a nearer view of it.

The bell is carried on a flat car at the rear of the special train and could be seen at a distance by those who were unable to get near the car. The car was lighted with strings of incandescent lights running from each corner of the car to the center and with other lights along the railing around the car, so that it presented a brilliant spectacle as it stood in the gathering dusk.

Crowd In Wild ScrambleThere were many women and children in the crowd and there was some little excitement in the rush, as the train drew to a stop. From all directions there was a wild scramble for a close view of the historic bell and the result was a dajigerous jam at the point where the car stopped. Several women fainted in the crush, and fell, and it was only by the efforts of several men that some of them were able to regain their feet and avoid being trampled under foot. Several children became separated from their parents and added to the excitement, fathers and mothers losing interest in the bell, and calling and plunging through the throng, in an effect to locate the lost youngsters.

The crowd on the south side of the car, composed of school children, was comparatively orderly.

After a determined effort Police Captain Jack Smock, and the men under his command, restored order, and started the crowd to noving in the manner that had been plinned.

The party is composed of a number of city ana state officials from Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, and by a special guard of United States soldiers. After leaving Terre Haute the train made a short stop at Brazil and then went to Indianapolis, where it was Monday morning.

The Modern American Fraternal Order marched to the scene in a body, and the National Association of Letter Carriers also viewed the bell in a body. A committee from the carriers composed of J. Cliff Anderson, Fred Erne, S. R. Daniel and Ben Dildine visited Senator Penrose, who is accompanying the bell, and discussed with him the matter of civil service pensions.
