ACkERS'
Pull STILL GOOD
Youth Who Deserted From the
Army in Private Car Escapes
From Yuma Sheriff

The mysterious pull whilh allowed
Private Ernest AAckers. or Alderman.
to desert from the United States army
in a private car was made more forci-
bly, evident yesterday when Colonel
Lundeen, commanding officer at the
Presidio, was informed that he had
escaped from the sheriff of Yuma, Ariz.,
who was holding him in custody for
the military authorities.
Ackers deserted from the signal
corps with $4,000 cash in his pocket,
four transcontinental railroad passes
and in a private car which mysteri-
ously appeared on the Southern Pacific
tracks near the depot at Third and
Townsend streets, and as mysteriously
disappeared. On account of the sus-
picious circumstances surrounding the
desertion, the army came to the con-
clusion that he was being helped by
powerful civil interests. and presum-
ably those high in the ranks of rail-
road circles. For this reason extra
efforts were made to arrest him. The
military authorities were indignant at
the thought of the railroad interests
interfering with their workings, and
hoped to show that a deserter from the
United States army, however powerful
his outside affiliations, would have to
pay the penalty for his act as any
other in similar position.
The general hue and cry led to
Ackers' arrest at Yuma. He was
turned sover to Sheriff J. H. Godfrey
for safe keeping until a military guard
could be sent down to get him. Inn
mediately following the arrest Ser
geant Pryor was ordered to Yuma to
get him.
Pryor returned yesterday with the
astounding news that Ackers had es-
caped from Sheriff Godfrey. There was
no other explanation. Ackers had sim
ply escaped. Sheriff Godfrey did not
volunteer amy information on the mat
ter. There was nothing more to it
than that Ackers had escaped.
This last astounding piece of intel
ligence has thoroughly aroused the
military authorities, and full inves-
tigation of the entire transaction will
follow. Inasmuch as Ackers was a
federal prisoner Sheriff Godfrey will.
in all probability. be called upon to
,ive a more detailed explanation.

WIRELESS SPARK
TO SINK WARSHIPS
Inventor Claims Ability to Ex-
plOde Magazine on Board
Any Fighting Craft
Especial Dispatch to The Call

Especial Dispatch to The CALI
NEW ORLEANS, May 17.-H. A. Folk
of 1904 Drayas street claims to have
found a process by which the maga-
zines on all of the battIeships belong
ing to the navies of the world may be
destroyed by an operator in a wireless
telegraph station miles away from the
ships.
Folk, who is quite young man, is
an adept student of the wireless system
which Marconi started, but it has only
been during the last three or four
months that he has found the way in
which the protected ma agazines of bat
tleships may be reached by the tiny
electric spark and set off. Folk was
seen this afternoon and admitted that
he had found the way in which he could
explode the magazine of battleship
from a wireless station miles away. but
stated that as he was now negotiating
with the United States government, the
agents of which had requested his strict
secrecy on the subject, he could not
give out anything for publication about
the manner in which the wireless
worked while performing its task
The news of Folks invention was
first made known by his brother, who
notified the newspapers. Folk himself
deplored the fact that his brother had
told anything of his findings and
seemed fearful lest anything about his
discovery should get into print. claim
ing that he had made an ironclad
agreement with the government to keep
the matter secret until such time as
test would be made under its direc-
ton at a point that would be selected
by it.
If the invention that Folk claims he
has made is practical it will revolution
ize the warfare of the world. for with
wireless instrument one man could
destroy an entire battIeship fleet in a
few minutes without leaving his wire
less station.
