nance in an occidental setting was re-
Vealed when detectives from the Cen
trail police station arrested Oadie Her

ziing several thousand dollars worth
of jeWelry. The complainant is a jew
elry firm in this city where Hero was
employed as a salesman in the Asiatic
mail order department. The young
man confessed his guilt, and attributed
his wrOngdOing to a desire to amass
enough wealth to marry one of his
COuntryWOmen.
Hero told the police that he had
been in this country six years. He
was born in Damascus, and on arriv
ing in New York he obtained position
as agent for an Oriental jewelry house
Later he came to the Chicago firm and
had sole charge of the trade with the
Orient, AID conducted the correspOn-
dence in Syrian Arabic. As no other
member Of the house understood these
tongues, Hero was never interfered
with and his books are seldom looked
at.
The young foreigner was made to
accompany the officers to his apart
ments, where many of the missing jew
els were found, and also crucibles & I'D
a chemists lamp used by Hero in
melting his plumber. There were a
score of watch movements bereft of
their cases, and a jewelry case was
half filled with bracelets and rings.

adopted. This committee shall have
power to appoint its own officers and
to employ such assistants as are re-
quired for the proper prosecution of
the work: the expenses of said COM
mittee will be met by pro rata assess
ments on the fire premiums of the sub
scriberS.
Third, this committee shall consist of
officers and managers of companies

subscribers transacting a general bust

Fourth, the committee shall immedi-
ately endeavor. through a local board.
to secure an adjustment of the rates
upon such classes of hazards and for
such localities as the experience of the
underwriters during the last five years
has shown to be negotiable.
Fifth, it is understood that whenever
a current number of companies have
signed the agreement to render it eff
fective the signers shall be called to-
Sether to decide upon the appointment
of the committee of thirty.
These sections were signed by fifty

WILLIAM CONDOR Is SANE.
Former Salt Lake Lawyer Sets Him
self Right.


About a year ago it was published
in the Salt Lake papers that William
Condor. the aggressive young attorney
who held forth in salt Lake from 1889
TO 1888, returning TO Chicago, had been
arrested there for insanity. The many
friends in this city of the attorney eX-
pressed keen regret on hearing the
news, but an assurance that the Salt
Lake Condor was not the unfortunate
has been lacking until now.
The Herald is in receipt Of a letter
from Eureka, written by Mr.. Condor,
in which the writer states that his at
tention was called only recently to the
published statement of his arrest for
insanity in the great metropolis. In
his epiStle Mr.. Condor makes il clear
that his unfortunate nameSake was
William H. Condor, an old and distin-
guiShed admiralty lawyer in the days
OF sailing craft, and that his affiiction
was a temperance of a mental dis
order resulting from his financial losses
in the panic of 1893.
In order to further correct the err
roneOuS impression with reference to
him, Mr.. Condor writes:
L am in the ridiculous position of a
gentleman passing upon his own. con-
ditiOn for the benefit of the public in
Salt Lake, where 1 have not been in
over two years Excepting an impaired
eyesight, resulting from excessive
study. which practically compelled me
to quit the profession for a time. 1 have
had no difficulties requiring a physi-
clan. In fact. I never had as much
physical and intellectual energy as
possess now.
To show that / have gained and not
lost sense since leaving Salt Lake in
1893, please permit me to say l have
not tasted liquor in over five years, or
tobacco in over two years. and 1 have
abandoned politics, not even the inter
est of this campaign being sufficient
to lure me from my resolution in that
matter. l am hustling hard for money,
and like the rest of the mining world,
| expect that some time, somehow,
somewhere Fortune may smile my way
Please briefly state that the Condor
in question is not the one known in
Salt Lake, but an old man twice as old
and no relative, although if he were
a relative it would not be a disgrace,
for William H. Condor did a great
many noble things for his generation. "
Since leaving Chicago thirteen
months ago, Mr. Condor has been en-
gagged in mining at Joplin, Mo. and in
the northwest, coming to Eureka only
recently.

NO LONG TOUR FOR BRYAN.
Candidates Speech-making This Year
to Be Limited.

Chicago. Aug. 10.-W. j. Bryan will
make no such extended speech-making
tour of the country this campaign as
he did four years ago. He will make
a number of speeches, but they will be
IN connection with special occasions
and not part of a general swinging
around the country Such was deter
mined during the talks which Mr.. Bry-
an had with the members of the eX-
ecutive committee of the national COM
mittee. and that was all that was de-
termined.
The membership of the committee
was revised so as to give New York
state a representation on it. Commit
teeman Head of Tennessee withdrew,
giving his reason that he fad not time
to attend TO its duties, and Norman E.
Mack, national committeeman from
New York, was named in the place OF
Mr.. Head on the executive committee.
Speaking of his own plans for the
campaign, as far as they We're deter
mined on today, Mr.. Bryan said:
mo regular programme of speeches
oy me will be mapped out and no eS-
pecial itinerary arranged. l shall make
few speeches during the campaign.
The times and dates will be announced
from time to time as they are deter
mined upon. Just now there is no an
nouncement of any kind to make, be-
cause no date has been fixed or ar
rangement made When it is settled
that l am to appear at any particular
place the announcement will be made.
Then there will be nothing further to
give out until the time and place is
determined upon. Every speech will be
Independent of all others.
Asked if this was meant to include
the outing of the Irish societies here
next Wednesday and that of the trades
unions on Labor day. Mr.. Bryan said:
Yes, il is not yet decided whether
shall appear at either or both of
1hese occasions"
In response to a question as to his
formal letter of acceptance of the
Democratic nomination Mr.. Bryan re-
Piled:
Il cannot say now When that letter
will be ready. Tt is certainly not yet
written
Mr.. Bryan expects to remain here IN
u Monday at least, and perhaps
longer. Then he Will go to Lincoln.

LET'S PRISONERS GO.
Commandant Obliged to Release
Many at Aleatraz.


san Francisco. Aug. 10.-The military
prison on Alcatraz island has been
oVercrowded for some time past. and
the constant arrival of soldiers with
long sentences to serve has caused the
issuance of an order directing the COM
mandant to release 5 per cent of the
prisoners who have served any great
portion of their sentences. This is in
addition to those recommended by the
board OF clemency appointed some
days ago.
The commandant at Alcatraz has de-
cided to release five men each day in
order to prevent the discharge on this
city of so many men, many OF whom
are desperate characters.
