(Staf Correspondent of The Herald
Republican,
n ROVO, May 16.-All the members
I of the Salt Lake Commercial
club's "kl-Utah" excursion agreed
that Provo is bully city. They are
also equally agreed that all the towns
along the first leg of the state boosters
pilgrimage, from Murray to Provo,
are in sympathy with the statewide
movement for a greater Utah The
conclusion follows as result of the
enthusiastic reception Of more than
one hundred Salt Lake business men,
who are out on a week s trip, with
view of arousing the people of the
state to the commercial and industrial
possibilities which are knocking at
their very doors.
Murray started the party off
auspiciously at 10 o'clock this morn
ing. by one of the most cordial re-
ceptions ever rendered to any visiting
delegation which has set out for a tour
Of the state. Provo wound up the
days journey in a manner which dem
onstrates beyond doubt that the city
is in perfect harmony with the booster
wave
From Murray to Provo it was one
cordial reception at all Of the stops.
Early in the day il was discovered
that L. F. CoIborn was a pretty good
cross-cOuntry speaker. and he was
Obliged to make no less than half a
line of the excursion Secretary J. E
Game also made several brief talks
The climax of a day well spent in
the exploitation of the commercial side
and the Industrial resources and ad-
vantages of Utah, came tonight at
Provo, when the Tabernacle was
crowded to its entire capacity with
men and women who listened atten-
lively to addresses by Governor Will
liam Spry, Mayor ". H Ray, William
NJ. Roylance, president of the Provo
Commercial club; Vice President
George T. Odeu of the Salt Lake Com
mercial club; E T. ColbOrn, Secretary
J. E. Game and Glen Miller of Salt
Lake.
Remain in Utah.
Governor Spry spoke interestingly OF
the vast natural resources of Utah, par
ticularly the splendid opportunities
which are afforded to Industrious young
men in the line of agricultural and hor-
tculturai pursuits. He pleaded ear
nestly that the young men of Utah re-
main in the state, to take advantage
of the unbOunded opportunities which
are presented on every hand- he saId
he could not understand why it was
that boys were inclined TO leave good
Utah homes to go elsewhere where OPP
portunities are not so attractive.
z. ]. ColbOrn delivered an address,
touching in a general way upon the
natural resources of the state, and
dwelling particularly upon the move
ment which has been inaugurated with
in the past month or so by the CONNER
cial club of Salt Lake. in the matter OF

of catching any auroral CLOVIS or
meteoric displays and other atmos-
pheric phenomena.
The United States weather bureau
will be glad to receive any accurate
observations of meteors, the duration
and direction of flight, whether leav-
ing any luminous trains, etc. In the
year 1861, on June 80, the earth was
immersed in the tail of a comet of
considerable magnitude, but not being
forewarned. nothing was noticed ex-
cept a faint glow in the sky. We can
not hope to see this glow at this time,
if present, until after the moon has
set (2:3O a. M, when we will have
nearly passed out Of the comets train;
but observers all over the world viii
be on the watch to note any phe-
nomena that viii enable us to extend
our knowledge of the physical char
acteristics of the comet.

KERRY DISMISSED
BY THE SECRETARY
Singing Letter of Mr.. BaIIinger

Proved TreaCher0uS.

Washington, May 16--Frederick NJ
kerby, the stenographer in the office
of the secretary of the interior who
on Saturday issued a statement regard
ing the Lawler memorandum on the
CLAWS charges to the President, was
discharged from the government serv-
ice by Secretary Ballinger today
In a singing letter dismissing. Ker-
by for the good of the service, Sec
rotary Ballinger said the stenographer
was unworthy to remain in 1t.
THE fact that your teachery," said
the secretary, lis futile cannot miti-
gate the character of your offense"
The text of the secretary letter to
Kerby is as follows:
May 16, 19i0.-Sir: You are hereby
discharged from the public service be
cause you are unworthy to remain in 1T.
In divuIging information obtained by
you in the confidential relation of
stenogra pher to the secretary of the in
terror; in communicating that infOrma-
ton to those whom you are bound TO
reproach upon the administration and
to injure me, and in DELHI
erately misstating material facts
as to which you did teach
erouSly communicate you show
that you are unworthy and unsafe The
fact that your treachery is futile can
not mitigate the character of your Of
Tense. For the good of the service you
are hereby dismissed;
Respectfully,
r. A. -BALLINGER, Secretary.
"Mr. Frederick NJ Kerby, Washing
ton, d. c."
Kerby said the secretary's action was
a surprise to him.
"Of course when 1 issued my state
ment." he added, Il realized that the
secretary would take some such &C
ton As to the charges made by Mr.,
Ballinger against me, l am perfectly
willing to leave to the judgment of the
people of the country as to whether Il
acted treacherously or periodically, and
L feel certain the general verdict will
be in my favor. At any rate, I think
Secretary Ballinger is not an excellent
judge of ethics"

EARTH TO PASS THROUGH TAIL OF
HALLEY'S COMET WEDNESDAY NIGHT;
SKY GAP is. GRAD I Y MARIO W ING
COMETS TAIL WILL
WAC DURING NIGHT
Only 100000 Miles Distant
This Morning, and by Wed
nesday Evening the Earth
VIII Pass Through Streak.

DAN JOSE, CAL, May 16-DirectOr
- Campbell of the Lick observatory
today gave out the following
statement:
@HaIIey's comet was 90 degrees long
at daybreak this morning, both as pho
tOgraphed and as observed by the naked
eye. This corresponds 10 a length of
24,OOO,OOO miles. The nearest point of
the comet Nas 100000 miles from
the earth. Tuesday morning it will be
nearly 100000 miles away, Wednes-
day morning little over 100000
miles, and Wednesday evening the
earth Will be passing through its tail
1.-THE present diameter of the tail at
the point through which the earth will
pass is a Li5tle over 100000 miles The
two bodies will have a relative velocity
OF about AZ miles per second; and the
time required for the passage, if the
present dimensions remain unchanged,
will be six or seven hours
The tails of the comets usually lag
behind the straight line drawn from
the sun through the heads, for some
comets but little and for others several
degrees. The exact time the earth will
enter the tail is accordingly uncertain
by several hours.
No Cause for Anxiety.
1T is true that comets are the most
mysterious bodies in the sky, and that
many important questions concerning
their origin and constitution remain
unanswered We do know, however,
that the tails are SO highly attenuated
that the most perfect laboratory
vacuum is extremely dense IN compari-
son. 1t IS probable that both minute
solid particles and Isolated gas mol
ecules are present in the tails, the prop
critics q solid particles to gas mole
cules varying in different comets It
seems to be a conservative estimate

ticle or molecule, microscopic in size, on
the average per cubic yard. The
earth's atmosphere will form a per-
feet protecting blanket against posi-
bic constituents of the tail. There is
absolutely no cause or excuse for anx-
iety as to injurious effects upon ter
restrial life, animal or vegetable. The
earth has passed through the tails of
many comets in past centuries and
such an event is of great scientific in

commission. Neither was disposed OF
during the day.
During the debate Mr.. Clapp said he
found in the court provision a tendency
toward Capitalization
Declaring that if all senators should
vote their honest convictions the court
would be voted cut. Mr.. Bacon said he
would rather lose his right arm than
be responsible for so radical change
in the judiciary as was contemplated
He urged senators not to vote to
strike down the great judiciary sys-
tenn 'for some foolish sentiment or
other impulse"
Mr.. Borah made a general argument
in opposition TO the proposed court
The idaho senator declared that IL
would not be a court at law, but mere
" an equity court. and said other
court in the country was constituted on
this principle.
Mr.. Nelson announced his determina-
ton to vote to retain the court sec
tions because he thought the estab-
lishment of the court would result in
the expediting OF Interstate railroad
cases.

Apart from the strong interest dis
played in the arrival of the former

'Dr. Hyde was his own worst enemy
in the trial." said Mr.. Crone tonight.
His own testimony convicted him.
when DR.. Hyde said he had bought
cyanide for ten years and yet could
not remember where he bought it he
damned himself as a witness. If he
had not testified as he did, I think he
would not be in his present position.
"At first I believed Hyde innocent,
and, until Sunday night, 1 voted to
mony about his cyanide purchases and
] decided he was guilty I told Mr.
Johnson I had changed my vote, and
I lked with him about my decision"
A strange feature of Juror CrOne's
action is that his son, Albert, was re-
Gently sentenced to eighteen years IN
the penitentiary for numbering Bertha
Bowler, his sweetheart.
Principals All Calm.
Tonight all the participants in the
great murder case are as calm as they
have been at any time since the trial
started. The return of the verdict was
marked by an absence of dramatic
features. Mrs. Hyde cried little when
she heard the verdict in the courtroom
DR.. Hyde did not change his usual
stoicaI expression. Mrs Logan O.
Swope was unnerved when, at her
home in independence, she heard the
outcome
MY home is still open TO my daugh-
ter she said Il feel sorry for her"
But Mrs. Hyde is not going back to
her mother She is still loyal to ner
husband, and confidently believes the
supreme court viii free him.
Hyde takes his imprisonment cOOlly.
He was asleep today soon after the
verdict was given. He Drofessed to be-
Iteve the case will be remanded for re-
trial when it reaches the supreme
court. The physician probably win be
sentenced Saturday. BY law, ne is
not admissible to bail. II is discre-
tiOnary with Judge Latshaw whether
DR.. Hyde be sent to prison or held at
the county jail, pending the cons1dera-
ton of his case by the supreme court
History of the Case.
DR.. B. Clark Hyde has been under
suspicion in connection with the mys-
FERROUS deaths and fitness in the SwOpe
family ever since the death Of Col
Thomas II. SWope in October, 1903 The
death of Colonel Swope followed soon
after he had had severe CONFUSION.
and the cOnvulsiOn, it was charged by
members OF the SwOpe family, followed
Immediately after the administration OF
a capsule given at the direction OF Dr..
tive tablet.
II was proven at the trial that DR..
Hyde had purchased cyanide of potaS-
SUM in five grain capsules, and he was
prosecuted on the BELIEF that he gave
one OF these capsules to Colonel SwOpe.
DR.. Hyde said he bought the cyanide
capsules to kill cockroaches in his Of
flee.
Two days before the death of Colonel
Swope. Moss Hunton, a cousin OF the
millionaire philanthropist. died at the
Swope home following a stroke of apo

DR.. Hyde and DR.. G. T. Twyman Of
Independence treated HuntOn. The pa

six pints of blood was taken from Hun
