All the virtues accuracy Is perhaps the
most desirable. In all the relations of
life more trouble is caused by inaCcu-
racy and carelessness in details than by
any other OF the lapses 10 which human
nature is liable.
And if anything on earth ought 10 be
accurate IL Is a stork. Mistakes made By
storks are so hard 10 explain and usual
~ cause so much argument and trouble
that they are perfectly disheartening.
For instance. Just because a careless.
Inaccurate stork in preparing for a visit
TO the home of c. W. Klinski, over on

Mr.. Klinski came here a few months

looked about for a wife. The lady who
subsequently became Mrs. Klinski vas

House. that hOstelry where the walters
are marvels OF pOliteness. suavity. and
shadiness of complexion. Mr.. Klinski
laid ardent siege 10 the affections OF the
lady, and finally won her coy consent
10 become Mrs. Kiinski.
All went lc. ely until this unfor-
tunate mista' was made by the stork.
When Mr.. Klinski first viewed the lit

PRISONERS FAIL
IN ATTEMPT TO
Use DYNAMITE
Plan Destruction of
Jail Walls
RlngIeader of Desperate Gang in Cook
County 5astiIe, Chicago, Taken
Into Court and Sent
to Joliet
~ Assnciated Press.

BY Associated Press
CHICAGO, May 1S.--A plot of pris-
oners confined in the county jail to blow
a hole in the wall of the building, per-
mitting the escape of many prisoners,
which was scheduled to be carried out
this afternoon, was frustrated by Jailer
Whitman.
The leader in the attempt was Charles
Hansen, under sentence for life for tine
murder of Luke Fitzpatrick, police
man. Several notes relating guardedly
to the scheme have been intercepted.
and today Hansen was brought into
court and ordered sent Immediately to
the penitentiary at Joliet.
He was not allowed to return to his
cell. Finding he could not return to his
cell. Hansen said to the guard:
well, you'd better look in there and
be mighty careful There's a can of
nitroglycerine there"
The nitroglycerine was found con-
cealed in fruit tin, number of which
had been delivered to Hansen.
The plot, according to a confession by
Hansen later, contemplated blowing out
the wall of the old part of the Jail. The
fuse was to have been lighted at night.
1--WE would have gone through with
it all right" said Hansen, but when l
found you were going to send me to
Joliet there was no use in leaving the
stuff around, where it might hurt inno-
cent persons"
According to Jailer Whitman, there
were about sixteen men in the plot, five
of them outsiders. 1t developed that
one of the men in the scheme had told
Whitman the details, and that another
outsider whom the jailer had once be-
friended had been used as a decoy, and
that he had verified everything told by
the men upon the inside.
All the prisoners implicated in the
plot, except the informants, had been
taken away secretly, and Mr.. Whitman
refused to reveal what disposition had
been made of them, with the exception
of the one who was taken to the pent-
tentiary.

WIFE LEAVES
DESOLATED HOUSE
CONTINUED from Page One,

the officers were unsuccessful. They
were unable to ind the man who had
hauled away the goods, and the clew
which looked so good at the start fell
tc the ground.
Mrs. John Haynes, 749 East Fiftieth
street, the woman who adopted Mrs.
Mobley when the latter was but a girl
and who has for years acted as her
mother, was seen by the detectives,
but was unable to give them any clews
as to the present whereabouts of the
young woman. She informed them it
was probable that Mrs. Mobley had he
come tired of her home life and simply
wished to take a rest. and that it was
probable she would return with the chill
dren to her husband in the near future.
She ridiculed the idea that the youne
woman had fled with any man, but
stated that Mr.. and Mrs. Mobley had
frequently quarreled and it was prob
ably this which had led the yonug
woman to leave.
II now know where my daughter isl
she said to Herald reporter yesterday.
''I have received letters from her and
so has her husband. She is in Colorado,
but L will not tell you where and will
not show you the letters.
Husband Deepens Mystery
"There is no truth in the story that
Mrs. Mobley fled with any man. She
simply wanted a change and took it.
She left a note for her husband telling
him she was going and that she was
taking the children with her. 1 think
she left on the spur of the moment,
and that was why she did not bid her
husband personal farewell"
When seen at the Pacific Electric sta
ton and asked for information concern
ing his wife, Mr.. Moblcy refused to dis
cuss the case.
81 do not wish to have the fact known
that my wife has left" he said, "as it
will cost me between $4,000 and $40, 900 if
the story gets out. L cannot tell you
how it will cost me that sum or say
any more about the matter"
According to friends of Mrs Mobley,
the young woman is exceptionally pret-
ty and of lively disposition. She has
a large number of friends in Los AAge-
les and was very popular among her
acquaintance.
The missing woman is said to be
about 26 years of age and to have been
married when she was 20 years old. She
is an accomplished musician and for
rerly was prominent in musical circles
in Los Angeles.
The police are continuing their efforts
to find her, and it is said they expect
to have information which will lead to
finding her within the next few days.

COMMITTEES PRESIDENT
SAYS THAT GRAFTERS
MUST PAY THE PENALTY
BY Associate Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1S.-F. B,
Anderson. president of the committee of
seven, after the meeting today made
the following statement:
THE committee is composed of fair,
strong men, and we have had but three
days to get in touch with the situation.
We wish to act entirely fair by all ele-
ments that go to make up this city.
We feel that we have so great respon-
sibility that we cannot afford to be
rushed into action for fear that we
might make a mistake.
when we are able to see what our
duty is we are prepared to do it, no
matter whose fingers are pinched. 1t
is possible we may make a mistake in
doing out duty. We are not going to
do anything that will be in the nature
of class legislation. The thing that i'm
presses the committee most is that any
and all actions on our part must be
nom partisan. We realize that there are
many elements in the city and that a
community before being prosperous
must be happy. and there can be no
happy community if but one class is
happy
we are adopting the constitution OF
the United States as the fundamental
basis of what our action will be. We are
not going to attempt to settle any per-
sonal quarrel, but we are going to try
to bring about clean conditions of
things and try to make it safe to live
and invest money here.
I'VE have given a great deal of time
to the reports of the disturbances in
the different parts of the city and to
the proper disposal of the police force,
recommending that in several exposed
locations increased numbers of plain
clothes men be put on.
I'VE are convinced from what we are
told from labor leaders that they desire
to keep the peace, and believe it impos-
sible to win their strike through vio-
lence.
Grafters Must Go
''We do not propose to take any action
that will interfere with the prosecution
of graft, as we believe it is absolutely
necessary to eliminate all forms of graft
if we are to retain our own self-respect
and regain the respect of the United
States-yes, of the world.
Il would like to make it very en-
phatic that we think that the police
force has done very good work for the
past week.
In our meeting we have discussed
the whole city government. Let is be
understood that no one dictates to US
Asked as to the attitude of the COM
mittee toward Mayor Schmitz, he said:
I'VE regard Mr.. Schmitz as mayor of
San Francisco. That is all 1 can say
AS to Chief Dinan, we will not throw
any stones until we are sure of our
ground, and if there is any reason for
it we will throw them in plenty"
The police situation may only be cor
rectly sized up when the police commits
sion again meets. The members of this
commission, smarting under uncompli-
mentary references made to them by
Langdon, Heney, Burns and the COM
mittee of seven, have not as yet evinced
a desire to remove Dinan, and it re-
mains to be seen what pressure Mayor
Schmitz can bring to bear
In the meantime Chief Dinan insists
that if Ruef has involved him in any
confessions regarding the collection of
graft moneys Ruef is untruthful. And
then Dinan goes one step fuarther and
declares that he scarcely knows ,Ruef
at all.

and order and are not desirous of mix
ing in the affairs unless it is absolutely
necessary. But the citizens of the city
must be protected and their happiness
must not be shattered completely. 1t
is bad enough now, and it must not
grow worse. Many are discouraged and
it is no wonder.
In my opinion there should be a po-
liceman on every car. That would not
necessarily indicate that the corpora
tion was being protected especially; it
would be a protection to the public, to
which such protection is due"
