IspecIal 70 rhe Herald.l

SAN PEDRO, May 12.-The steamer
Governor of the Pacific Coast Steam
ship company. which makes regular
runs with her sister ship. the PreSt-
dent from Southern California ports
to Seattle. tried out a new berth this
morning at the foot of Fifth street, the
statement being made that the COM
pany is contemplating changing the
dock for its vessels from the Tenth
street landing to Fifth street.
When the change is made all of the
lines operated in connection with the
Southern Pacific and Pacific Electric
railroads viii dock at the same point,
thus making II more convenient for the
handling Of both freight and passen-
gers.
With Captain Jepsen on the bridge,
the big steamer swung into the pro-
posed new berth between the steamer

The room provided fer the long vessel
was none too great. and while Captain
Jepsen handled his boat perfectly, the
interested observers were fearful for
few moments that much damage would
be done the Cahrillo. which had the
berth next the wharf and could not get
out of the way. The Governor was
safely steered into position at the new
berth and then returned to the Tenth
street landing for the San Diego pas
sengers.
More warehouses are to be built at
Fifth street, according to report, when
the Pacific Coast boats make this their
dockage. and other improvements are
said to be contemplated by both the
railroad and the steamship lines.

MAKES EFFORT TO
ESCAPE FROM JAIL
MAN SUCCEEDS IN UNLOCKING
DOOR TO CELL
Heavy Iron Chain illustrates Attempt
of Alleged Highwayman to Effect
His Liberty-Eats Bar
of Soap
[sreclal to The Herald.l

SAN BERNARDINO, May 12.-An
lard Gentry, with many aliases, the
man arrested recently charged with
holding up and robbing an old man
at VictorYille, to escape from his cell
in the county Jail.
In some manner he had concealed
about his person a steel implement, the
officers believing that he had it hidden
in the sole of one of his shoes, and
hour after hour he worked dropping the
steel tumblers back and forth in an
endeavor to manipulate the combina-
ton of the lock on the door of his
cell. In the early part of the morning
he succeeded in discovering the comDi-
nation and unlocked the door. The heavy
iron chain, however, which is used as
an extra safeguard, only allowed the
steel door to swing open a few inches,
not enough to allow the prisoner to
squeeze through.
Four federal prisoners watched the
vain efforts of the man to force the
door open and stood ready to pounce
upon him, in the hope that by frustrat-
ing his escape they would secure their
pardon, but Gentry was unable to un-
fasten the chain holding the door.
This morning Gentry ate half bar
of soap in the hope that it would make
MIN uedtnly SICK ana cause ms removal
to the county hospital, where his es-
cape could be effected with ease. Tailor
Carter, however, discovered his ruse and
has placed him in the steel clad cell i'll
the murderers' row, where there is no
possible chance for escape.
Tonight Gentry was placed in the
charge of Warden Webb and his as
sistant Taggert, from Salt Lake City,
to which point he is being returned to
serve out a sentence of II years for
robbery.

MAKES LIGHTS
WITHOUT WIRE
ELECTRICIAN IN OMAHA HAS
GREAT INVENTION
Illumination of Auditorium Building
Declared to Be Beyond Power
of Human to Exs
plain
[By Associated Press. ]

OMAHA, Neb., May 12.-Lighting by
electricity without the use of wires was
successfully accomplished by DR.. Fred
erick H. Millener at the electrical eX-
position now in progress at the Omaha
auditorium The doctor is with the
Union Pacific as experimental electri-
clan and is working on a cab wireless
signal for the control of trains. This
is to be worked in connection with the
block signal system.
One year ago in the Union Pacific
shops in Omaha Dr. Millener construct
ed an electric truck to travel about the
yards by wireless.
This truck is started by wireless and
goes four speeds ahead and four speeds
back without any power other. than the
wireless.
By an apparatus somewhat similar to
that used with the truck the switch at
the Omaha auditorium is opened and
closed.
The lighting of the auditorium is
something that is beyond the power OF
any person to explain. Through the
courtesy of Col. Glassford at FIT. Oma-
ha, the wireless apparatus there is put
in operation. Then at the auditorium,
six miles away, by an instrument con-
structed by DR.. Milliner, the electric
waves are gathered, brought into the
auditorium, where after the electric
power from the lighting plant has been
cut out, they pass to the switchboard
and out over the wires and through
the hundreds of lamps.
This wireless power can be thrown
on or off simply by pushing button in
the little machine constructed by the
doctor.

PASADENA PROMISED
BETTER CAR SERVICE
TO PUT ON MORE ELECTRICS
AT RUSH HOURS
Conference Held Between Business
Men and Manager of Pacific Elee-
tric-Theater Traffic to
Be Considered
[snecia1 70 rhe Herald.l

PASADENA, May 12.-As a result of
a conference this morning in Los An
geles between a committee of Pasa-
dena business men having the interests
of the city at heart and Manager Nc
MILAN of the Pacific Electric railroad,
the city of Pasadena will in the future
have an increased car service between
the corner of Fair Oaks avenue and
Colorado street and the Pacific Elec-
trio depot in Los Angeles, which it is
hoped will do away with much of the
criticism of the management which
has prevailed in the past.
The committee was headed by May
or Thomas Farley and made up of
Councilman Hotaling and Barnes, b. Q.
Kendall and ]. r. Bragdon from the
Pasadena Realty board, and Lon F..
Chapin and D. w. Herlihy from the
board of trade. 1t is understood there
were some warm passages between
members of the committee and the
manager of the railroad system before
the agreement was reached, but in the
main the conference was harmonious
At its end Mr.. Mcmillan promised
to personally investigate the number of
passengers carried by each car during
the rush hours of the night and morn
ing and particularly the condition of
the traffic in the hours between and
9 O'Clock in the morning, when the big
gest rush of the day takes place, as
the men and women who are employed
in Los Angeles offices strive to board
the cars. 1t is hoped that additional
service will be given at this time and
also about II o'clock at night on week
days, when the theatergoers of this
city are coming home.
Mr.. Mcmillan is understood to have
promised that the theater car in the
future would be enlarged to two-car
train. which will permit of most of the
crowd securing seats. 1t has been
nothing unusual in times past for one
car leaving after the closing of the Los
Angeles theaters to carry between 120
and 100 reon1e
