ERRINGTON . JONES AFFRAY
Aftermath of Tuesday Nights Spring.
Street Tragedy
Jones Is Dying, His Wife Is Acting High
Herocs and the Vapid Errington Is
Languishing in a Cell

Herbert +. Jones, victim of the bullet
of his wfe's lover, J. Bidwell Errington,
has developed symptoms Of pneumonia in
his wounded left lung. and Police Sur
geonI Bryant entertains scant'hopes of his
life. The attendants in the receiving
hospital say he is dying. Mrs. Emily
Holland, the passing woman who was
slightly injured. is doing nicely.
Should Jones die, i t will remain the
lasting impression around the police
headquarters that he died victim of
the dime.novel habit. The whole affair
has been maiodorous with high sounding
phrases and strained effects from the
pages of such standard, high-class jour
nails as the Saturday Night, Police Ga
ze tie, Happy Hours, and rev sickening
Chicago publications.
That J. Bidwell Errington is a coarse
young lbertine and would-be hero OF a
iive-cent novel. glance at his face and
a few words of conversation will readily
show. He is fairly aching to see his
name in print, and suffers untold mental
uneasiness If the papers are not promptly
handed in to him SO he can gloat over
the accounts of his exploits. He says be
is the son OF a $4,000.000 Napa rancher
but proofs are not forthcoming, and, if
he is. he will be disowned.
Jones is the best of the trio, though
his language is rife with tenement
house tragedy. 1t seems that he is rather
an honest, hard-working young fellow
who was not swift enough for his wife,
and she 'gave him de shake" for the
brilliant Errington. He approached her
for her lnfidelity and she persisted in her
way. He followed them to get proofs of
her fathlessness. They saw they were
b ing shadowed, and while she waited
and looked on. her lover walked back
prepared for murder and shot her hus-
band because he, IN his anger. struck
blow at Errington's leering face. As the
latter expressed it TO "a reporter: when
once l set me mind on q mash. she goes
and | take me chances, see.' And his
remark to Miss Bacon that he would ac-
coInplish his end if 1t cost him his life
may prove a boomerang because citizens
are getting tired of such promiscuous
pistol practice. and j. Bldwell Errington
may stretch hemp yet.
The woman, Mrs. Cora Jones, attended
her husband faithfully yesterday, but
with such careful theatrical effect that
even the ''old stagers' smiled. She tele
rhoned to the newspapers that the re-
porters could see her, but she had no new
features to give, and her apparent desire
for paper glory was nauseating to the
hardened pencil-pushers. She is the
daughter of Mrs. Cusick. the wife of ex
Plumbing INSPECTOR Cusick. The whole
affair is malodorous. Errington is con-

AROUND THE WORLD.
Professor Ardley Tells the Members OF
the Mechanics Institute OF his
Voyages.

Professor N. r. Ardley OF the University
OF California entertained the members OF
the Mechanics Institute and their friends
by telling of some of his experiences in
trip around the world. Professor Ardiey
made the trip in sailing vessel, starting
at New York and going around Cape Horn
to San Francisco. Thence he went to
China, not stopping at the Sandwich Is
lands or Japan.
The trip was taken some twenty-five
years ago. His observations of California,
which formed a large part of the original
lecture, were omitted. Their nature was
such, however, that their truth was ques-
toned by the English press when they
were first made public.
The lecturer stayed we'll in the beaten
paths of the tourist, but told interestingly
those things he culled from his mass OF
notes. His "reminiscences of Chinese Cor
don, who was his personal friend, were
particularly interesting.
Professor Ardley delivers another lecture
at the library building next Saturday
evening. The subject will be "The Anat-
omy of Expression in the Human Face
and Figure" The lecture will be illus
trated with original sketches by the
author.

Sometimes | pick up the New Testament
and wonder if we give enough attention to
some of the powerful sarcasms in it. The
story OF the prodigal son, for instance. 1t
Is repeated every day in the year. There
is the son, sometimes it is the daughter,
who day in and day out, year in and year
out, works hard, sacrifices that which is
loved best and gives always OF the good
which is earned by never-ending work.
And there is the son, it may be the daugh-
ter, who took the inherited substance and
squandered it and lived gay and joysome
life, and thought of nobody at home until
he was tired and worn and hungry and
thirsty, and wanted the good things when
ne appeared. Then he was greeted with love
and given the best robe and made much of.
And the son who had stayed at home and

We talk about sarcastic Stories and then
somebody says something about the SIM
plicity of the New Testament. And I
smile. Personally believe that the story
OF the prOdigal son was written to suggest
to that unappreciative father that some
thanks and some token of love were due to
the one who cared always for him, and re-
garded duty before pleasure.

'If the railway company does not COM

Attorney Lincoln E. Savage yesterday,
"the Twenty-ninth and Noe-street Club

of the company obstruct the streets with
out benefting the community in the least,
they have determined that at any cost the
company shall fulfill the terms of its fran

"The excuse of the railway company is
that the majority of cars on the Mission

to their great weight the motors burn out
on the last block of the line between Noe
and Sanchez streets. 1t could easily over
