Young San Francisco Boy Takes
Death Chair Shock With

[Speeiql Dispotch 10 The Call

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-1n order to
shock Charles Quill, who was formerly
employed by the gas and electric COM
pany of San Francisco took LOO volts
into his body from a dynamo in a
small room in the Shubert building in
Broadway. The current passed through
his body, after which Quill arose un-
steadily from the chair which he had
been strapped to, and pale faced, tot
tered about the room. He soon recov-
cred his equilibrium and was apparent
ly as good as ever.
The young man performed number
of hair raising feats with electric cur
rents, but the climax was reached when
he mounted an electric chair-a copy of
the penitentiary death chair-was
blindfolded with a black handkerchief.
had the electric cap placed on his head
and submitted to the shock that usually
kills
There was hush and shudder ran
up and down every ones spine as the
body Of the young man quivered and
shook while the current passed through
him. His assistant, the man who ham
died the current, took small cotton
handkerchiefs. and placed them, one at
time, on various portions of Quilts
BODY, They went up in flames with a
nash like gunpowder Even from the
heel OF the man came sparks that in
stantly ignited the small cotton squares
and the current permeated the skull
with a similar effect
Asked how he became spark proof
young Quill said that when he was en-
ployed by the gas and electric lighting
company of San Francisco he was fool
ing with fellow electrician when 1900
volts went through him, rendering him
unconscious. Physicians brought him
to.
For days I had horrible dreams.
said Quill II thought L was between
two live wires and was burning to
death, and would roll out of bed,
shriekfng and yelling like a madman.
Mr.. Raymond read of my wonderful
escape, and he asked me If / wouldn't
try some experiments. 1 didn't mind
and gradually I took stronger and
stronger currents until have reached
the death limit l suppose some day
1t will get me, all right, but l have to
go somehow, and 1 can make a lot OF
money at this, so what's the differ
ence?"
For a man weighing 143. Quill has
been reduced. he says, through the ef-
fects of the tests, to 126 pounds One
of the experiments today was the light
ing of a carbon which Quill held be-
tween his teeth from a current as II
came with terrific force from the end
of wire. The shock threw his body
back several times before he was able
to overcome 1t sufficiently to get the
end of the carbon TO the sputtering
flame. He also lighted a wax candle
from sparks coming from his fingers.

MILLS AND GOLDMAN
DEBATE THE QUESTION
Socialist and Anarchist Present
Opposing Views

Emma Goldman the anarchist and
Walter Thomas Mills the socialist took
part in joint debate yesterday after
noon and last evening in the Audi
torium pavilion before large audiences.
The leader of anarchists said that the
working men could never be organized
in a movement to annihilate the forces
of capital as long as they are divided
religiously. She referred to all forms
of religion as stumbling blocks I'm the
way Of the advance of the working
classes. She said that muscular re-
sistance and physical strength were
the methods the working class should
adopt to better themselves
Mills assailed the ideas of Miss Cold
man and said that the socialist had
decided on an educational campaign
and were endeavoring to appeal to rea-
son. He asserted that the only way
to defeat the capitalistic class was by
organizing the voters. and to accom-
plish this end the socialists were COM
PEELED to admit TO their ranks men of
different religious beliefs.

disappeared in q bank of white cloud

PLANS CARRIED OUT
Before the ascent Van Tassell said
he would probably remain in the air
until dusk should no unforeseen ac-
cident occur.
According to the calculations which
the chief aeronaut made before start
ing his aerial trip. the balloon would
remain in the air for three hours.
He stated that he would stay aloft
only long enough to take his observa-
tions and test the efficiency of his craft.
after which he would descend upon the
discovery of convenient landing
place.
The ascent was undertaken by the
members of the club In an effort to
stimulate interest in the sport OF aero
nautics in this state, and several more
flights will probably be attempted dur
ing the spring and summer.

ascension in Berkeley this afternoon.
the flight being made from the Dwight
way baseball park at 2:20 o'clock. The
ascent was made under the direction of
P. A Van Tassell. d veteran aeronaut
of 80 years experience in this country
and Europe, who occupied the basket
beneath the huge bag with c. c. Brad
ley, paying teller of the Crocker ma
tional bank of San Francisco, an en-
thusiastic member of the club. During
the morning preparations for the flight
were made by a force of men under
the watchful eye of Van Tassell, and at
/: 80 o'clock this afternoon the work of
filing the great bag was begun.
Ordinary illuminating gas, furnished
by means of special pipes laid by a
local company. was utilized, about
so 600 cubic feet being necessary for
proper imitation.
AIR CURRENTS TESTED
Shortly before the big balloon was
cut loose smaller bag, 30 feet in
diameter, was liberated for the pur-
pose of testing the air currents. This
pilot rose rapidly and drifted in a
northwesterly direction toward San
Pablo bay without a hitch the prep
arations for loosing the larger balloon
were carried out. Three bags of sand
were shipped as ballast, and Van Tas-
sci and his passenger took their places
in the basket amid the instruments for
testing temperature and pressure.
With the assistance of willing spec
tators, the guide ropes were loosed at
Van Tassells command, and with a
rush the huge craft shot upward to a
height of 1000 feet Part of the
contents of one sandbag was cast over
board, and the balloon continued its
ascent until it became a mere speck
in the sky. Coming In contact with
a cross air current at the higher ele-
vation, the. balloon was shuttled rap
idly in direction exactly opposite
to that taken by the pilot, floating
