 London, = Says 3 special correspondent of The EX- press
 Within tbe next few days, some of the leading scientists in Britain will have an opportunity of rig orousIv testing he claim of a young Dane to have eX- plotted a source of electric ity which will revolution ize the production of heat, light, and power for dom- estic and industrial pur- poses.
 The Dane is C w Epen- sen, a man in the middle thirties, who for four years has been carrying on eX- periments in the greatest secrecy in a laboratory in the suburban villa in West London.
 In Unlimited Quantities
 MT. Eoensen declares he can produce electricity in unlimited quantities from ordinary tap water without the aid of coal, oil or any other known substance.
 MT. Epensen's apparatus is amazingly simple and cheap. Once it is installed the average home can be with electrical light and power at less than { 1 a year.
 It consists of a series of plates and rods Wir- ed together in a metal con- tainer, The apparatus wa plunged in a tank of water in an empyt room and Wir- ed to electric points in oth- CT parts of the house.
 What Has Been Done
 It lit ordinary electrir lamps, operated a smal and provided suffi cient heat to boil a kettle on an electric grill.

SANTA BARBARA, Cal: Feb. 3.
U.P)-Groundwork for CALIFORNIA; S
presidential campaign was laid to-
day as nearly 1000 delegates TO the
convention of the California Repub-
lican assembly met to consider plat
bound to a presidential candidate.
Outstanding among the questions
being debated upon by delegates was
whether the California delegation to
the Republican national convention
goes to Cleveland unpledged or
obund to a presidential candidate.
The suggestion of Earl Warren,
chairman of the Republican state
central committee, that the interests
of the party would be furthered if
the California delegation remained
unpledged, apparently was favored
by a majority OF the assembly's
members
Warren disclosed that he is ap-
pointing a statewide committee to
select an unpledged slate for the
May primary ballot.
Definite decision on delegates by
the state central committee was held
up pending a recommendation by
the Republican assembly.
Some delegates, however. were de-
termined to win the California dele
cation for Gov. Frank F. Merriam

be used as standby and auxiliary
TO the hydro plants when they are
placed in operation.
This project, the report states, will
be capable of supplying a utility load
of 124,000,000 kiloWatt hours annual
y dllu q COlllDlIleu ulSJTlCJ pumping
