YOUNG MAN DIES
ON LIVE WIRES
Paul DiIIey Comes in Con-
tact with High Voltage
Wires on Nineteenth Birth
day.

Paul Dilley of Magma, Utah, was
accidentally electrocuted last Mon
day afternoon while working on a
pole in the alley south of the
railroad rooming house.
Dilley, who was an employee of
Bletzacker and Bletzacker, the
electrical contracting engineers
constructing the new power lines
for the Consolidated Power and
Telephone Company, was working
with John Eskirs. Dilley was
aboce Eskirs on the same pole
and the TWO were fastening a guy
wire near the toA. In some man
ner Dilley came in contact with
one of the primaries, which carry
1900 volts, and the telephone wires
below, making short circuit
through his body, which killed him
instantly. His body swung out
across the primary wire which
soon parted and dropped the unfoT-
tunate man down on Eskirs. The
weight of both men on Eskirs'
safety belt made it impossible for
W tliONO up Va
His calls for help brought sew
eral men and women to the scene.
The power was ordered shut off
and a doctor summoned Eskirs
pulled up a knife ON his rope and
cut Dilley's safety belt and helped
lower him to the ground.
DIR. Hal l.. Hewetson arrived
before Dilley had reached the
ground but life was extinct. Res
toration by means of artificial res
piration and heart stimulants was
tried but the efforts proved futile.
Paul Dilley was a popular young
man and had had considerable eX-
perience with electrical work in
Utah. He had served his appren-
ticeship on the ground and had
been "a lineman only a short time.
Both Eskirs and Dilley were aware
that the cires near which they
were working were heavily charg-
ed.
The entire community extends
sympathy to the close friends and
relatives of the unfortunate young
man.

POincare Gives Views
On Franc Sterilization

Paris. July P0While aware
that the question of stabilizing the
franc is under discussion by inter-
national banking officials in the
United States, Premier Poincare is
understood to favor standing upon
the present practical sterilization
until after the elections next May.
There are two currents of opinion
in the cabinet. One is that the
present price of approximately q to
the dollar is as high as the franc
ought to be pegged. The other,
which is probably the minority view.
is that the franc might be stabilized
at a considerably higher rate.
Some financiers outside the gov
eminent; such as Henri De Roths-
child, are credited with the belief
that the value might be fixed as
high as 10 TO the dollar.
The discussions in the United
States over sterilization are tied up
with the question of Frances share
of the German railroad bonds,
which the French government de-
sires to utilize toward paying off her
international obligations.

SOyiets Warned Not to
TRY to Cause Revolt

Carlisle, England. July S P)-J. II.
Thomas, general secretary of the
National Union of Railwaymen,
served notice on Russia today that it
is useless to try to engineer a revo-
luton in this country. Mr.. Thomas
was speaking at conference of the
National Union of Railwaymen.
Il hope Russia will Immediately
abandon the absurd idea that she
can engineer a revolution In this
country or dictate to a movement
like ours as to how we are going to
conduct our business" he declared.
1T is no secret that there is Rus
sian money to substitute their partic-
ular form of propaganda. but the
mistake the Russians are making is
that they are subsidizing the wrong
people.
Neither the minority movement
nor communist propaganda is going
to divert the great mass of workers
in this country from following
constitutional path to bring about
the social changes required"
