ARTIFICIAL
DAYLIGHT IS
A REALITY
Rivals Sui's Rays
and Is Piped
Like Gas.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 26.-Artihcial
reality. Charles NJ. Schwab, the steel
king, has signed contract for the illu-
mination with the new light of his. mag
nificent new mansion. covering block on
Riverside drive, New York
This marks the realization Of scientists
"dreams"-a light that will have all. the
qualities of the suns rays So wonderful
is the light, so devoid of heat. so beauti-
full in the softness of it's glow. so lacking
in any element Of danger under any and
all conditions, that scientific men have
unhesitatingly pronounced it perfection.
Several oculists have even declared that
the new light is less harmful to the eye
than natures illumination itself.
The inventor of this light the introduc-
ton Of which promises to effect greater
amount OF invested capital than any other
invention Of the age. is D. McFarlane
Moore, a native of Pennsylvania, and for
time a student in Lehign University.
The system, even in its early stage Of
laboratory experimenting. became known
throughout the scientific world as the
Moore system of electric tube lighting.
The electric wiring Of houses is thing
of the past. The light is to be piped as
gas and water are piped to-day.
Discussing his new light with The Call
correspondent Moore said:
1.-The bona fide vacuum tube has always
been associated with high voltages to
properly operate it. and, although theo-
retically 1t has long been acknowledged
to possess certain properties that indicat-
ed that it would be the light Of the fu-
ture, nevertheless the serious problem al
ways presented itself as to how it could
be made thoroughly commercial with its
attendant high voltage.
This problem believe 1 have solved
in my present electric tube lighting sys-
tenn by confning the high voltage entirely
within transformer case that Is abso-
luteIy danger-proof, either to life or prop
erty''

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SANTA ROSA, Sept. 2s.-AIiss Bonnie
Gaines, the pretty and popular teacher
Of Fountain district, near Ukiah, was
stopped by a highwayman Thursday
morning and relieved of her watch chain
and lunch. An alarm was given later,
but so far the man has evaded capture
The teacher lives three miles from the
school and for two miles of that distance
rides her bicycle, the road being in good
condition that far. The wheel Is then
placed in an old barn and the remainder
of the journey is made on foot The high
wayman had seen the teacher place her
wheel in the barn on previous days and
he awaited her coming at that point.
On the morning Of the hold-up Miss
Gaines had left her valuable watch at
home. and the robber, who had evidently
calculated on making a haul, only Sc
cured the teachers chain and her lunch
for the MONDAY meal.
After the hold-up Miss Gaines attempt
ed to mount her wheel and ride to town
to report the affair to the officers, but
was prevented by tramps. The teacher
obtained a good description of the robber
and it is believed he will be apprehended.
A man answering the description later
appeared in Ukiah and attempted to dis
pose of watch chain for 81 80. He stated
he had purchased the chain in Petaluma
to present to a lady friend, but alleged he
had changed his mind.

DYNAM|TERS
DEMAND COLD
OF RAILROAD
Send Ultimatum to
the Northern
Pacific.
Officials Fail in Ruse
to Effect CulpritS'
Capture.
Threat to Blow Up Trains
Is Now Being Put Into
Execution.
Special dispatch to The Call.

HELENA, Mont. Sept. 26.-Because the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company re-
fuses to comply with the demands of a
gang of dynamiters to deposit a large sum
of money at a point between Garrison
and Missoula, no less than four attempts
have been made within the past two
weeks to carry out the threat TO blow
the property of the company in Montana
off the map" as expressed in the ulti-
matum.
This Pat Grove mode of obtaining
money was presented 20 the company
officials about three weeks ago, but the
facts have Just become public. The no.
tice. which was sent to General Pas
senger Agent Fee and General Manager
Hannaford at first demanded $25.00o. and
then ordered that $4,000 be given to the
engineer of a light engine, to be delivered
by him at a designated point west of Gar
rison on a certain day and at a given sig
nal from the bandits.
Instead the railway officials essayed to
capture the robbers by a ruse. This, how
ever failed ignominiously The light en-
CINE was sent out a. directed and the
supposed package Of SO, 900 was in plain
view. Approaching the spot appointed
the engine was slowed down, but before
it came to a full stop a second light en-
gine, on which there were a dozen or
more heavily armed men, hove into sight.
Search was made of the immediate vicin-
ity, but none of the conspirators were to
be found. The railroad officials had given
out as a reason for running the light en-
gines that they had received warning of
an attempt to hold up the North Coast
limited.
The railroad officials have since been
warned that, because of their ''tri1ing,
the original threat would now be car
ried out, and it certainly begins to look
that way. Within the past two weeks no
less than four attempts have been made
to wreck trains by the use of dynamite.
One of these was a passenger and the
others were freight trains, the latest at
tempt being made at Sampson Siding last
night.
AS yet no serious damage has resulted.
although the cowcatcher and headlight
were blown off a passenger engine in the
Helena yards and the tracks have been
torn up to a greater or less extent. A
dozen armed men were sent into the
mountains near here to-day to try to dis
ton of dynamite stolen here last week.
Searchers are being hired at "a day by
the Northern Pacific.

STOCKHOLDERS TO ASK
FOR A RECEIVERsHIP
Consolidated Lake Superior to Be
Placed In Charge of the
Courts

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 26.-The North
American tomorrow will say: Consoli-
dated Lake Superior stockholders will
move formally tomorrow for the re-
ceivership as the surest way to protect
their equity in the property. This action
has been determined upon in view of the
uncertain attitude of Speyer & Co. and a
conviction that the time has come when
the step cannot be delayed longer without
danger.
Application for the appointment of a
receiver for the s117, 900 corporation
will be made in Connecticut, under the
laws of which State the Consolidated
Lake Superior Company is Incorporated.
Promptly after the expected granting
of the petition for receivership applica-
ton will be made in New York for, the
appointment Of auxiliary receivers to act
in that State. This will be accompanied
by petition for an injunction to restrain
the sale Of the Speyer collaterals
The management and board Of directors
of the Consolidated Lake Superior Com
pany are cognizant of the intended re-
ceivership move and 1t is understood they
have agreed to interpose no obstacles and
to give the stockholders an entirely free
foot In the matter. This acquiescent at
titude of the management is believed to
have been obtained by the minority stock
holders during the protracted board meet
ing on Friday.

TOLL, 10 CENTS A MILE.
Autos Taxed on This Pike-PastOr AsbiIry's
Home Made Machine to Blame.

JEFFERsoNvILLE, Ind, Sept. 2s-The
whirr OF the automobile is almost as infre-
auent along the turnpike from this place to
Utica, Ind as 1t Is In the interior OF Alaska.
The unpopuarity Of this excellent thorough
fare with owners OF autos had it's origin
in trip made over it by the devil wagon

Pastor Asbury is a mechanical genius
AZ well as a good preacher. He does all
his own plumbing and. with little out
side help, built the automobile which has
become familiar figure all this region
over.
When he started on his first trip over
the Utica turnpike, he stopped at the toll

whats the toll?" asked the preacher
"Oh, nothing at all II your machine be-
HAYES itself" said Smith, cheerfully. He
thus showed that his original attitude to-
ward automobiles was distinctly favor
able
With hearty thanks the clergyman sped
on his way. Some hours later he returned
by the same pike.
It CHANGED that team OF horses we're
drinking at the trough In front of Smiths
toll gate, while an old woman was ap-
preaching in buggy drawn by as staid
a creature as you could find in all the
county.
For home made product. the Rev. Mr..
Asbury's automobile ia first rate one, but
II has this drawback; it makes more noise
than a locomotive pulling freight train up
a hill This afternoon It was coming along
at clip which was estimated at fifteen
miles an hour. Ina jiffy, the team OF horses
had climbed into the watering trough and
the old lady's horse was hard and fast In a
wire fence at the roadside
This settled the automobile question
with George Smith He remembered his ex-
perience when bicycles first become popu-
lar. The farmers horses were often
frightened by them, and there were several
runaways, so he kept his pike clear Of them
by charging a uniform toll of 81 so.
So he called on his lawyers here and
asked what was the highest toll he could
cha rye automobiles. An examination OF
the statutes showed no mention Of these
vehicles, but provision which gave him tho
right TO fix any rate he wished on any con-
veyances not covered by the law.

clared Smith jubilantly
But he thought such rate might lead to
litigation, so he changed II to 10 cents mile
This il five times the toll fixed for horse
and wagon, and II has been just AZ effective
as his original figure would have been.
