ACTION OF RETAIL CLERKS.
Resolutions Adopted On the Sunday
Closing Ordinance.

The Retail Clerks association is out
with long knives after the political
scalp of City Attorney w. S. Hall. The
occasion is the adverse decision given
by Attorney Hall on the Sunday clos
ing ordinance that was defeated by the
city council. That defeat the clerks
attribute largely to the stand taken on
the subject by the city attorney.
At a recent meeting Of the associa-
ton these clerks passed a set of reso-
lutions commencing the councilmen
who voted in favor of the Sunday clos
ing ordinance and censuring those who
opposed it, paying special attention to
Mr.. Hall, who. they resolve, as indi-
viduals and as an association to op-
pose in all his future political aspira-
tions They further resolve that as an
association and through their appropri-
ate committees they will keep in close
touch with the sheriff of the county
and be prepared to prosecute all who
violate the laws against Sunday clos
ing. The gratitude of the association
is also voted to Dave Hampstead for the
part he has played in this matter.

People Scared By a Frightful Storm
Damage Done
lSpecial tO Mo Herald }

Especial to The Herald)
Fillmore, Aug. 5.-One of the worst
hailstorms that ever visited this coun-
try occurred this afternoon, and has
done considerable damage to crops. as
we'll as soaring the people half out OF
their wits.
A few minutes before 2 O'Clock the
sky west OF here was dark and threat
ening, and deep rumbling sound was
heard, resembling the noise OF a cy-
clone. 1t lasted fully eight minutes.
and could be heard for miles People
here rushed for their children, then to
cellars, and the cry OF Cyclone" was
heard on all sides.
But the storm did not strike US; it
passed two miles to the northwest, TAX
ing a northeasterly direction towards
Holden and Scipio. At what Is known
as the old field, three miles northwest
of here. corn was stripped bare, and
the wheat and iucern- crops badly dam
aged A little further on fully six
inches of hail, half as large as hens
eggs, fell.
Word comes from Holden that the
storm passed through that town, doing
great damage TO crops. Word has been
received from Scipio that the storm did
not strike the place at all, but the roar
ing was heard miles away.
Later-News from the ''old fleld' es-
Inmates that at least one-fourth the
crops are destroyed. Birds by the hun
dreds We're killed.

SINGERS FOR THE BIG TOUR
PROF. STEPHENS MAKES UP
TABERNACLE CHOIR LIST.
Orchestra Will Be Named Soon and
Rehearsals Will Commence
Praice For the Choir.

Professor Evan Stephens. writing to
The Herald from San Francisco of his
plans for the grand eastern tour to be
made by the tabernacle choir. sends a
complete list of those who will accom-
pany him.
The professor states that all of these
have been selected for special practice,
although the number is twenty-four
more than will be able to go. OF these,
Mr.. Stephens says, about twelve are
singers possessing good voices. who
have not yet enrolled. 1t is possible
that a few of those selected will be un-
able to go at the last minute, and this
would reduce the number to the limit
If not, Mr.. Stephens says, it is to be
understood that unless Mr.. Higbee will
consent to add a few to the number
originally agreed upon, a few from
each part will have to be left out.
The orchestra members have not yet
been named, but these will include a
few more choir members. A notice Of
the first rehearsal will be given in the
course of few days

Provo, Aug. 5.-Frank Morris broke
Jail last night, probably between the
hours of u and G, and made good his
the Strong murder case. and it seems
that history will be repeated for Frank
Connors, the alleged murderer of Will
liam Strong.
: Morris was held as the principal wit
ness against him. One year ago he
(Connors) was held for burglary in
Denver, but the prosecuting witness
against him was spirited away and he
was turned loose. If Morris is not re-
captured it is hardly probable that
ConnorS can be convicted of the crime
witt which he Is charged.
The old story Of jail-breaking tells
the way he got out-a steel bar sawed
in two; prisoner squeezed through
small aperture; mystery how he OBJ
tanned tools, etc.
Morris is small man; the hole he
pushed himself through is just 61a by
13 inches.
Deputy Sheriff Henry is up to Helper
on the lookout for him, and every exit
from this county is being watched
closely.
The following message and descrip-
ton Of the escaped prisoner has been
sent 10 every ONlcer IN TINS county ana
to the states of Colorado. Wyoming,
Idaho and Montana, with an offer of a
$50 reward:
Escaped from the Utah county Jail.
Frank Morris. American, age %, height
3 feet 10 inches. weight $50 pounds,
complexion light. smooth face, blue
eyes, light eyebrows, light hair. No. Z
shoe, No. hat, large mole on left side
about four inches from navel, several
moles near collar bone, two vaccination
marks on left arm, small scar on left
shoulder blade, two large moleS about
the middle of back, scar on left thumb,
scar on back of left thumb near knuckle
of first finger, scar under the right eye,
long straight scar over right eye, hair
mole on the left forearm
Wore black SLOUGH hat, black pants
with small stripe in them, brown coat
and black sateen shirt, but may have
changed clothes.
This man is an accomplice of Con-
nors, the man we are holding for the
murder of Police Officer Strong. If
seen, arrest hold and wire George A.
Storrs, sheriff. Provo City. Utah.

TOOK AN HOUR TO ELECT FOUR
PRINCIPALS OF THE SCHOOLS
CHOSEN YESTERDAY.
Minority Contends For Promotions
Miss McManis' Improved System
of Vertical Penmanship.

The board of education consumed
over an hour yesterday noon in the
election of four principals. The cleo
ton of D. A Nelson formerly of the
Lincoln school corps, to the principal
ship of the Bonneville to succeed W.
H. Tdwney, and of r. z. Caldwell,
lately a teacher in the county schools,
to the Riverside schools principalship,
was accomplished without opposition
from Messrs. Bamberger, Moyle and
Newman, who steadfastly fought for
the principle of promotion as they be-
lieved it should be applied. Had Mr.
Giauque been present the opposition
would have had four votes.
The first taken up was the recon-
mendation of the committee on teach
ers and school work for the selection
of Miss Lizbeth NJ. Qualtrough, for
mer principal of the Hamilton school,
to succeed Principal o. H. Alvey, re4
signed, at the Washington.
Mr.. Hamburger took the ground that
Miss Qualtrough was best suited for
the principalship of the Hamilton, her
old school. and Mr.. Newman proposed
that Professor G.. n. Mckay of the
Lowell be given the vacant principal
ship of the Washington, in place of
Miss Qualtrough. This motion received
the support of only Messrs. Bamber-
ger, Moyle and Newman. Mr.. Moyle
then moved that Professor Samuel Dox-
ey of Ogden. recommended by the COM
mittee for the Hamilton principalship,
be chosen as Professor Avey's success
sor, but the proposition was voted down
six to three
Believing that it would be more pru-
dent to promote an experienced princi-
pal of smaller local school TO have
charge of the Hamilton than to send
to Ogden for Professor Doxey, Mr.
Bamberger moved that the name of
Miss Elizabeth V. Fritz of the Bryant
be substituted for Doxey's name in the
committees report. The motion was
defeated. only President Nelden and
the mover voting for it. Mr.. Doxey
was then elected principal of the Ham
ilton in place of Miss Qualtrough, pro-
NOTED to the Washington.
New Copy Books Suggested.
The board briefly discussed the ques-
ton of adopting Miss Georgia McManis'
improved system of vertical penman-
ship, the matter having come up in a
report from Superintendent Cooper ex-
planning the advantages to be derived
by contracting with the Colorado
Springs lady for the use of her copy
books. Since there was no definite pro-
position from Miss Manis, Mr.. Critch-
low proposed a resolution authorizing
the superintendent to negotiate prices
and terms with the lady and report to
the board. But the point was made
that the board is under contract with
Sheldon & Co. for their copy books for
three years more, and Mr.. Young's
to refer the question to
Chairman Moyle of the committee on
school law for opinion, was adopted.
