A USELESS CHASE
The Detectives After a nan Who Is Not
Hermans

HermduS
SALT LAKE, June "A special to the
Tribune from Market Lake, Idaho, says:
Capt. Donovan of Salt Lake and a de-
tective, accompanied by Drummer No
Ian, left this place yesterday morning
on the stage on the trail of Hermans,
who went through here May 2Sth on his
way to Jackson's Hole, Wyo., and who
rode on the stage with Nolan from this
place to st. Anthony. A long, fruitless
chase might have been saved the gem
tlemen had they communicated with
anybody here, as the man they are going
after. while he resembles the picture OF
Hermans, is not that person at ALL but
Capt. d. T. Ahrenburg of 743 Pine street,
San Francisco, who returned to the Hole
country. Captain Ahrenburg is of Swe-
dish descent and speaks with a strong
accent. He made arrangements here
with a liveryman to take friend of his
and his wife to the Hole when they ar
rived. which will be in a few days. The
supposition is that the drummer got rat
tied when he thought he had a good
thing and has allowed his zeal to run
away with him and take Captain Dono-
van along.
KANSAS CITY, June 2.-Chief Irwin
today received the following telegram
from Arthur Pratt, chief of police at Salt
Lake, Utah: 'Hermans' baggage, No.
$50 and NO. 10, arrived at Kansas City,
May Sth. Which way did it go from
there?"
Detectives Hayes and Halpin made a
search of the baggage rooms at the
Union depot, and reported that Chief
Pratt would have to trace the fugitive's
baggage from Salt Lake, first ascertain
ing over which road it had reached Kan
sas City. They reported that so far they
were unable to discover any track of
the lost baggage in this city. 1t is be-
lieved that Hermans' baggage went
west from Kansas City, it's destination
being somewhere in the far northwest.

On Dunham's Trail

HOLLISTER, June 2.-Sheriffs Bal
lou, Lyndon and Mathews arrived here
on the noon train today, accompanied
by their bloodhounds. They were joined
by Sheriff Holbrook of this county, after
which they started for Tres Pinos. Their
objective point is not known, but it is
supposed to be the Quien Sabe valley in
the coast range, in which region Dun
ham is supposed to be hiding. A tip
received last night by the officers leads
them to believe that the murderer has
made his way over from the San Felipe
valley into the Quien Sabe.
The mass meeting tonight was the
largest probably ever held in San Jose.
Only about $500 was pledged but the COM
mittees named last night were con-
tinued and will go to work to raise the
$4,000 reward for Durham, which they
expect to do in a day or two. A COM
mittee consisting of NJ. II. Hyland, l..
Lion, l.. A. Spitzer. r. Bumgartner, M.
Phillips and A. X. Whitton was named
to appoint and lead the many citizens,
who wish to go to the mountains and
join the chase for Durham. Tonight the
sheriff is in the southern part of the
county in the neighborhood of Pacheco
Pass to guard the trails there. The Off
GERS believe Dunham has gone south.

Will Supersede Everything Now
in Use
LITTLE HEAT is GENERATED
All the Electrical Energy Used to Produce
Light
The New Fluo resent Lamp Il Not Oaiv
Cheaper but Superior to Those
Now in Use
Associated Press Special Wire.

Associated Press special WIRE.
NEW YOR X, June2-Thomas A. Ed
ison said today: Il have succeeded in
solving the problem of the new white
light. The lamp is finished; that is, the
scientific part of the work, and that
solves the problem. The remainder is
mechanical"
The new light or fiuorescent lamp, as
Edison has named it, is somewhat SINH
lar to the iilcandescent lamp now used
everywhere. There is not so perfect a
vacuum as in the incandescent lamp.
Unlike the electric lamp, the whole
globe glpws with pure white light OF
marvellous illuminating power. The
light comes from metallic crystal
known as ''tungstate.' The slightest
rubbing of these crystals will make them
glow, said Mr.. Edison. Il have sue
ceeded IN tuSing these crystals into the
inside df glass globe by heating the
glass until it is soft enough to receive
the tungstate crystals, which it holds
firmly when it c0ols. Two wires enter
the globe at one end. but don't meet.
BY means of an induction current gem
Grated In Faradic battery, the MOLE
cules of the wires are thrown into mo-
tion, and the impulse thus given trav-
els along the wires until it reaches the
ends inserted into the globe. This MOLE
cule impulse is communicated to the
molecules of air within the globe. These
molecules are driven with almost incon-
ceivable rapidity against the crystals Of
tungstate weld into the inner walls Of
the glass. The impact causes the crys-
tails to glow. The glow caused by sin
gle blow of these air molecules is, ot
course, but slight, but multiplied thous-
ands of times and the blows repeated
continuously i'm an enormously rapid
rate, they produce the new white light.
The old incandescent transforms 81
per cent of the electrical force into heat
and only per cent is turned into light
With my new lamp can discover abso-
lutely no heat. Not satisfied with one
test and concluding my instruments
We're at fault, used other Instruments,
but with the same result. l am COM
PEELED to believe that nearly the whole
force used in the new lamp is employed
in producing the light. do not attempt
to explain it; l only accept it as fact.
The high amount of electricity required
in the incandescent lamp to overcome
the tremendous loss of electrical ener-
gy, and Which is turned into heat, is not
ended here. This means an astounding
cheapness in lighting and consequent
commercial gain. The new lamp will
last as long as the globe lasts. There
are no expensive films to consider.
1T is singular fact that two-canC1le
new electric lamp gives out to the eye
almost twice the Illuminating effect that
two-candle incandescent lamp does.
"A two candle tungstate lamp will
light a room as well as a siXteen-candle
power incandescent light. 1t is pure,
white light the whitest ever known"
