PLEASURE TRIP
ENDS IN DEATH
Tragedy OvertakeS Party Of
Utah Lawmakers While
on Junket.
Representative Seth Taft of Wayne
County and Clint 8. Leigh OF the
Herald Killed in Railway Ac-
fff cident at Bingham, Utah

Salt Lake City.-As the result of an
accident on the Copper Belt line OF
| the Boston Consolidated mine at Bing-
ham canyon, Representative Taft of
! Wayne county, and Clinton B. Leigh,
legislative reporter for the Herald,
were killed Friday afternoon while the
members of the legislature were on
junket to Utah's great copper camp.
The party was returning from a tour
of inspection of the Boston Con.
when the accident occurred. The &C.
cident was caused by the breaking OF
a coupling chain, which released two
cars loaded with ore coming down
grade from the mine and allowed them
to crash into the train on which the
two men who met their tragic deaths
were seated
The train was backing down grade
and both men were seated on the rear
fiat car of the train which carried
the legislative party and were facing
the engine. The ore cars that broke
loose from the train higher up the
grade came down the hill and collided
with the train, so that both men were
knocked off. Leigh fell beneath the
wheels of the car and was killed al
most instantly, while Representative
Taft was thrown beneath the car in
such a manner that the locomotive.
crushed both of his legs. He was
for about two hours, but he
was injured so seriously as to leave
10 hope for recovery and expired at
about 7:30 Friday evening.
The legislative excursion that met
With such tragic end was hurriedly
damned Thursday afternoon by
speaker Harry Joseph. who invited

Considerable Part of His Big
Fortune Is Invested in
the United States.

GLASGOW, Dec. 1S.-Lord Kelvin.
the foremost scientist of the age, died
at his home here yesterday after a
ten days illness. Lord Kelvin suffered
from a chill a fortnight ago. Wednes-
day last serious complications devel-
oped, with out an occasional rally.
Hope for his was then aban-
doned. He lost consciousness yester-
day afternoon and passed away peace
fully.
Until the time of his fatal seizure
Lord Kelvin preserved remarkable
vigor of body and mind. He leaves no
heir and his title becomes extinct. The
newspapers pay him the highest
tribute, comparing him with Newton
and Faraday.
Lord Kelvin civilian Thomson) was
for years regarded as the foremost
scientist Of Great Britain. While his
achievements as a physicist were many
and varied, it is for his work in the
field of electricity hat he will be
longest remembered.
Beginning with his work as chief
electrical adviser at the installation of
the first Atlantic cables. there are few
departments in the science of cleo
tricity that do not bear the impress
of his mind. In 1867 he was knighted
for his work in connection with the
Atlantic cable, and in 1892 he was
created Baron Kelvin.
William Thomson was born at Bel
fast, Ireland, June 26, 1924. He was the
son of James Thomson, professor of
mathematics at Glasgow University.
He was educated at Glasgow Uni
yersity and at st. Peters College, Cam
bridge University. of which he was
for many years subsequently a fellow.
Very early in life he exhibited the
ability that has since made him
famous, and at the age of % he became
professor of natural philosophy at the
University of Glasgow, a chair which
he filled until 1899.
Some of Lord Kelvin's work as a
physicist, though most important, was
of a character that did not bring him
into prominence. Such work included,
for example, speculative matters relat-
ing to the age of the earth and the ma
ture of atoms.
Another line which his Investigations
followed related to theprecise amount OF
mechanical power. which was the equiv
alent of a given quantity of heat. This
inquiry was regarded as of immense
practical value. but it has attracted
little attention excepting among scien-
lists.
He was electrician for the Atlantic
cable when the abortive attempt was
made to lay it in 1S57-5s and again in
1866. He also acted as electrician
fC- the French line in 1869, for the Bra
lillian and River Platte line in 1873, the
West Indian in 1875 and the CONNER
cial in 1879.
After his early work on the cables he
became acknowledged as England's
greatest electrician, and for a long
time every important electrical propo-
sition that came up was referred to
him for an opinion.
He was the designer Of one of the
earliest practical alternating current
dynamos and when there was first talk
of utilizing the water power of Niagara
for the development of electrical energy
it was Sir William Thomson who was
made chairman of the advisory board

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1S.-From a
sick bed in his home here Secretary
Cortelyou has issued a statement
in which he denounced as false the

lican Presidential nomination.
The statement is clear, explicit and
