HUGH WALLACE'S SON DIES IN WASHINGTON
Lad of Expecting Abilities Passed Away After Long Illness
Thomas Bates Wallace, second, of this city, died at 1 p.m. December 10, at the home of his grandfather, Chief Justice Fuller, in Washington D.C He was the second child and oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh C. Wallace of Tacoma, whose oldest child, Mildred Fuller Wallace, died here in November 1903. Both deaths was due to the same disease, diabetes. Young Thomas had been suffering from the disease for several years, and during that time was continuously under the care of leading specialists in this country or Europe.
Deceased was born March 22, 1893. He was a boy of unusual abilities and of striking originality and strength of character. During the last tow years he developed great interest in the study of electricity and its applications, so that scientists at Washington, who knew of his experiments, predicted a very useful and perhaps even a remarkable career for him had he lived. His inventive genius found expression in the construction of a motor boat and a wireless telegraph apparatus at his grandfather's residence, which worked successfully, and he frequently exchanged communications with the station at the navy yard, the officers finding much pleasure in encouraging his efforts.
The funeral will be held at Washington tomorrow, and the casket will be deposited temporarily in a vault there, but it will be brought to Tacoma later for burial.
After the death of their daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Wallace gave to the city as a memorial the beautiful chimes that ring from the tower of the city hall.
