Grand Jury Probe Needed The prison break ami battle resulting in the killing of two guards and a convict, unci the wounding of a guard, together with the leisurely and disorganized pursuit, is proper subject Jor grand jury investigation. Ui course the prison is old and easily broken but there have been wardens whose discipline and efficiency was such that there were no breaks within the walls during their regime so that it cannot all be blamed on the building. There are many things in connection with the escape that need explaining, among other things the warden's own inactivity and failure to pursue the escaping men. Then too, the laxity at the prison, which permitted the most desperate criminals, men who on other occasions, have broken prison, to associate together, plot and execute another break without discovery. The prison has always been a political football and hence more or less manned by incompetents. With inefficiency of politics is now combined the curse of nepotism. Yes, a grand jury probe will put the responsibility where it belongs and probably save future tragedies. bins girl. The mountain women huddled about her.

Seat tic was shaken by an earthquake late yesterday. A seismograph at tue university of Washington re corded the ahok at 4: US o'clock, lusting for omre than ft minute, with a maximum intensity of 30 seconds. No damage waa reported. Professor Sheldon G rover of the univercility si-.id The center was less than 200 miles from Seattle. It waa of far greater Intensity than a number of tremors which have eiinsL'd much excitement iu Seattle.' " i&F Naughty Boys, Beware! Remarkable Eugene is staging a spectacular campaign. The news papers are filled with page ads predicting all kinds of disasters unless the people vote ?17D,000 in bonds to present the Southern Pacific a site for terminals and shops northwest of the city instead of the present site at Springfield, east of the city. The voters are frenziedly informed that Eugene will suffer the fate of deserted villages unless the bonds are voted. Springfield is busy also, pleading with the voters in "a spirit of friendship and fairness" to vote down the bonds and add both Springfield and the carshops to Eugene and "make a real city," but the still small voice pleading against the pillage of her industries, seems to be drowned in the clamor ous broadcasting of the boomers. To upstate onlookers the spectacle of a city sandbagging an established suburb at the instance of boomers to create a new suburb, at public expense, is a remarkable one and sympathy all lies with little Springfield.

One Wife on Approval By Violet Dare A NEW PIIXCND Aa Cynthia Unbilled her supper hor now-found friend turned to her "Now, your husband probably won't bo able to seo you until very late, and would just know you then and that's all," he told her. "Don't you think It would be wise for you to go to a hotel, and then come back early tomorrow morning? We can find out how ho is Just before you go, and you'll have no cause to worry. You must have hud a long journey, and surely you need a rest." "Well If you think heat," she answered slowly. "I wonder could you find out for me If thtre'ri any one else here with him that in anyone who has been interested. I well, to tell you the truth, I don't know whether iny mother-in-law is here o. not, and I'd liko to know." "Surely. While you put on your hat and cloak I'll see hts nurse and find ut for you." Ho returned a lew moments lat er. "Your husband came here alone, and there has been no one Inquir ing for him," he told her. "lie was moat anxious to see you, but the doctor felt that an immediate op eration was necessary. Ho had an attack of appendicitis, you see, and while there was no danger, Doctor Abbott didn't want to wait. Your husband wanted to wait until you came, but the nurse said that today he received a letter, and after read ing It said that you wouldn't be here, and that there was no furth er reason for delay." j Cynthia's brow puckered In he ed to leave him for Noel Gardner. He bust have had that several dayn ago. Unless perhaps there had been a delay "Oh, I wtoh I could Hee him!" she exclaimed. "But, of course, it's better to wait." She went downstairs with the doctor, out to his car, and sat quiet y while he drove her downtown and to one of tho big hotels. "I used to live here; perhapts you'd like me to make arrange ments for you?" ho asked. Cynthia nodded, without speaking. She felt so tired that It was an effort even to think; to try to do anything for herself seemed out of the question. She was breakfasting alone in the huge dining-room the next morning wl.en a page camo to her with word that Doctor Hall was calling, . "Oh, ask him to come In here, she exclaimed. Rven after their brief acquaintance of the night be fore he seemed an old friend. She held out her hnnd to him eagerly "I came to see If I couldn't drive you up to tho hospital," ho told her. "But don't hurry through your breakfast. I'll have some coffee with you If I may.' Cynthia was glad to have him there. Ho talked to hor of the beauties of San Francisco, as eag er in his praise of his natlvo city as ni o.st Californlans nre, and al though she was thinking of Jim rather than of what tho doctor was saying she managed to seem atten tive at least. She was surprised at her own feeling about Jim. She had thought wilderment. What letter could that be? Surely not the one In whichshe loved him, and then that she she had written him that she want-dldn't. She had thought she loved Noel Gardner, Jiut this new emo tion was quite different from the others. The thought that she might have lost Jim had kept her awake all night. Without Jim life would be a groat blank space, hav ing no reason. Sho had considered leaving Jim when she thought that he no long er cared for her. But sho knew not that In her heart she had never really faced that possibility, she had never thought that sho would have to go through life without him. "Oh, are you sure lie's going to get along all right ?" she cried, breaking Into tho middlo of one of Doctor Hall's sentences. Then, guli,tlly: ".My husband, I moan. I can't help being worried about him." "Absolutely, unlera thero have boon unexpected developments. He'll be wretched for u few days, of course, but then he'll foci fine. You're In a hurry to get to him, aren't you? All right, let's sta-t." Cynthia tried to be good com pany as they rode along, but her thoughts wei-o all with Jim. What letter had he received that irtnde him think she was not coming to San Francisco in response to his telegram? And how could sho con vince him that she didn't want to leave him?
