BRYAN SAYS HE WILL
CONTINUE THE FIGHT

LINCOLN, Neb., July 26.-William j.
Bryan will continue the contest for
county option and the initiative and
referendum. In a statement issued to-
day, he says:
while the failure Of the democratic
convention to indorse county option was
disappointins still the light for county
option in the democratic party has not
been In vain In the first place, 1t has
helped to secure a declaration in favor
Of the initiative and referendum in
both parties. and. now that all parties
have declared for 1t, there Is no doubt
Of the necessary amendment being sub
mitted at the next session OF the legis-
lature.
The work now to be done Is to secure
county option candidates in every sena-
torial and representative district. The
democrats Who favor county option
should turn out at the primaries and
nominate candidate favorable to county
option. The republicans i'm favor OF coun-
~ option should be as active in securing
the nomination of republican candidates
favorable to county option. County option
candidates should be nominated by all
parties in each district. and 1 have no
doubt that this can be done in a sreat
many districts

Washington awoke this morning to fn6
that yesterdays storm had not only

BLACK Handler FAILED
TOP|CK UP DUMMY
Detectives Keep Weary But
FruitIess Watch for Sender
of Threatening Letter.

Detectives O'Dea and Clinedinst made
up a neat little paper package last night,
cautiously sneaked into the alley back of
the quarters of Truck No. Z. 9Th street
southeast, placed it carelessly alongside
of certain telegraph pole. hid them
selves in q nearby coal shed and waited
patiently for Black Hand operator to
casually, happen along and pick 1t up.
when the Black Hand man failed to show
up at the end of two weary hours they
decided that either he wasn't coming or
he was a purely hypothetical person.
All this was because Vincent Marine, an
italian, who manufactures shoes in a
small way at 725 9Th street southeast, had
turned over to the police an anonymous
letter which he had received directing him
to place sum Of money, amount not
specified, at this certain place last night.
The. letter was unlike other similar letters
which have been brought to the atten-
ton Of the police in that 1t was not ac-
companied by any threats.
Marine wouldn't name any special per-
son as being suspected, but he gave the
police to understand that he did harbor
the idea that one certain individual had
sent the letter.
Shop Opposite Marine Barracks.
His shoe shop is directly across the
street from the marine barracks, SO that
the person who sent the letter, If it was
really sent with criminal intent, was ap-
parently not overawed by the military
arm Of the government. The shop is
somewhat pretentious place with a white
marble front, and Marino gives external
evidences of being prosperous.

Baltimore, where home influences might
counteract the effect of alleged baneful
associations in the past, brought about
the release in Police Court today Of Lou
Use Curry, wife Of Kid Curry of this
city, who is now serving q ten-year peni-
Tertiary sentence for robbery. The wom-
an was arrested upon a vagrancy charge
by Policeman Mcdonald of the first pre-
cinct last Monday night, and on the fol-
lowing day was committed to the work
house for sixty days. She had previously
been arrested several times.
At the hearing Tuesday there was not
much that could be said in defense of the
woman's conduct. Judge Pugh was ia
miliar with her record, and this, added to
q recital of her mode of life from the
policeman, prompted the sixty-day SEN
tence.
"She has been going from bad to worse
since the kid was sent to Leavenworth.
and 1t looks like she's lost her self-re
spect." said Mcdonald.
When her brother. a business man in

going to be q different woman for the
rest Of my life. want to forget Wash

she told Judge Pugh today.
One Of the most sensational affairs the
woman was identified with in her life
here was her arrest several years ago on

that time was a night hawk cab driver
