Government GIVES
NOTICE OF RAISE
IN HEATING RATES
At Least Forty Per Cent In
crease Authorizes for Con-
sumers on Minidoka Tract
Commission Notified.

The governor has notified the pub
lie utilities commission through the
reclamation service >that beginning
next year when the 10-year contract
for electricity for heating purposes on
the Minidoka project expires, there
will be an increase Of at least 40 per
cent in the cost and the increase in
some Instances may go to 100 per
cent. The. raise affects particularly,
Rupert, Hepburn and Burnley. The rate
when the present contract expires will
be $1.25 per Rilowatt. This rate will
Hepburn March and Burley April 2.
1890.
AFFECTS HEATING CASE.
The increase has an important bear
ing on the electricity heating case
which the public utilities commission
took evidence In last fall. The low
rate for electrical heating on the
Minidoka project was frequently cited
as an illustration that heating by
electricity was feasible. On that pro-
ject electricity for open air heating is
sold as by-product, the amount used
being the surplus left over and above
the amount used for pumping.
Nine years ago when the government
entered into contract to furnish con-
sumers on the project with electricity a
rate of so cents per kilowatt was made.
The electricity was sold to distributors
who retailed 1t to the consumers. The
distributors were allowed an additoin-
al SO cents per kilowatt to meet over
head expense The government fixed
the maximum that could be charged at
$3.50. Later In an adjustment of the
rates, the public utilities commission
set the maximum at SIPS per kilo-
watt that the distributor could charge
the consumer" and electricity has been
sold at that rate.
HIGHER THAN COAL.
The new government rate fixing
slips as the minimum means that the
distributors will be allowed 10 cents
per kilowatt for distribution placing
the electricity in the hands of the con-
sumner at a flat So per kilowatt, an in
crease to him of as cents per klowatt.
Electricity on the project has been
cheaper than-coal for heating purposes
under the present or old rate. The re-
suit was that many business blocks and
residents, school houses, ETC., on the
project have no chimneys. These will
likely be added after the first of next
year, for in the opinion of members of
the public utilities commission the rate
for electricity for heating will make the
Juice higher than the cost of coal.

reduce the cost of living. He said he
had no remedy to offer but declared
that increase of wages and decrease of
working hours was not panacea, nor
would government ownership or control
of utilities solve the problem.
Relation of the price of wheat to the
cost of living was debated by several
senator's. Mr.. Gronna denied that the
governments wheat price guarantee
causes undue prices for bread. He was
supported by Senators Kellogg and Mel.
son, republicans, of Minnesota. who said
wheat was being sold far above the gov
ernments guarantee at the principal
terminals.
The three senators predicted that this
years crop would be lower than the
government estimate. Senator Gronna
SAYING it would be ESQ, 900 900 bushels
and not 1.25O. 100000 as forecast by the
department of agriculture.
Senator Gronna declared that the
packers and all dealers in food products
never made higher profits" than they
did under the food administrations le-

BRITISH LABOR LEADER
PREDICTS COLLAPSE Of
EUROPEAN C|V!LRAT|

Lecurne, Switzerland, Aug. 3.-Be-
fore the winter sets in there will br "a
terrible spasm of rage and despair
among the peoples of Europe in which
the final remains of civilization may
be totally annihilated," it was predicted
by Arthur Henderson, the British labor
leader. at the opening session of the
international Socialist conference here
yesterday.
The remarks of Mr.. Henderson, who
was the principal British labor leader
present, followed those of Otto Wells,
of the majority element of the German
socialists, who declared German work
ingmen expected from the socialists
the creation of a real league of ma
tions. He characterized the league
organized in Paris, without Germany
and Russia as members, as a mere
pleasantly"
In alluding to the peace treaty dur
ing his address, Mr.. Henderson declar-
ed the principal points of it ought to
be subjected to immediate and thorough
revision.
Condemnation of support of Admiral
NOlCIldh, ntdO VI lllc tiIl'iNuSoidii 5N'
ernment at Omsk, by the entente ma
tions, was expressed by James Ram
say Macdonald of the British delega
tion, and Marcel Cachin, French social
ist leader. Both the speakers demand
ed that an energetic attitude be adopt
ed by the socialists toward the nations,
particularly on this ground.
Emil Vandervelde, Belgian socialist
gave his opinion that it would be i'm
possible to re-constitute the interna-
tional socialist organization until the
question of war responsibilities was set
tied. He declared further that in view
il would be impossible to merge the sec
ond and third international socialist
for the reason that
while the second aimed at a revolution
by the majority element among the
in conformity with democratic
principles, the third was for irnmedi-
ate revolution by the minority.

BAKER 5 PLAN is
TO MAINTAIN FIELD
ARMY OF 100000
THIS WILL MEAN THREE MONTHS
ENFORCED MILITARY TRAIN.
ING FOR ALI YOUTHS At 10

Washington, Aug. Maintenance
of one field army, with a war strength
of l25O0OO men, is proposed in a bill
establishing n permanent military pol
icy which was sent to congress today
by Secretary Baker
The active force of this army would
be 30 coo regulars while the remainder

serve strength would bc used to fill out
the 20 infantry divisions and one cav.
airy division into which it Is proposed
to divide the regular army.
Secretary Baker said In letter &C.
companying the bill that the plan had
not been referred to General Pcrshing,
but that pending his return from
France II could be used as the basis
for hearing which the senate military
committee is To have for drafting of
legislation establishing a permanent
military policy.
The bin as drawn" said Secretary
Baker, provides for system of uni
versal training for very brief period,
applicable to all male citizens, with
suitable provision for exemptions and
deferments..
1T does not, however, provide for
any reserve obligation since il is un-
necessary with a system of universal

in the race riots which caused the

the injury of hundreds of citizens.
The coroner has fixed the number of

Quiet reigned today through the dan

TO an announcement made today 10y at
tending physicians. They seemed GER
tain of recovery of Mrs. Lawler, who
also was badly burned.
The explosion was said by the police
TO be the result of a desire for revenge
by a group of dynamiters he prosecuted
some years ago in the Middle West.
Deep burns covered nearly half of
the area of Mr.. LAWYERS body, the ply
sicians said. chiefly on the upper part.
Mrs. LAWYERS burns We're of a second.

creased by fracture of the shoulder,
sustained, it was believed, when her
husband dropped her from the second
story of their burning home.
Awakened shortly before 3 o'clock by
terrific explosion, Immediately below
the second-story porch where they
were sleeping. and seeing the house en-.
veloped in flames, Mr.. and Mrs. Lawler
attempted to reach another sleeping
porch TO rescue their 5year-old son,
Oscar. Jr., and his nurse.
They We're cut off by the fire Mrs.
Lawler tainted. Her husband carried
her through the flames to a window and
lowered her body to an awning which
covered a window on the ground floor.
From the awning she fell to the ground.
Mr.. Lawler then jumped, striking his
head on the steps.
The Lawler home was in a fashionable
residential district of Los Angeles, and
the explosion awakened many citizens
who rushed to help. The boy and his
nurse We're rescued uninjured.
Neighbors told of having. seen mys-
