 WASHINGTON, June 23. - Un- employment insurance is slated to have an important place in Presi- dent Roosevelt's vast social pro- gram for 1885, the primary objec- tive of which he designated as "the security of the men, women and children of the nation" in his message to Congress.
 While the President did not in- dicate what particular form of un- employment insurance he will ad- vocate when he presents his pro- gram to Congress next winter, it is expected that proposed legisla- tion will be somewhat along the lines of the Wagner bill which was introduced at the session just ended.
 Tax On PayrOlls
 That bill, designed to promote the enactment in every state of adequate unemployment insurance laws, would impose a 5 per cent federal tax on payrolls of employ CTS of 10 or more persons. It pro- vides that any contribution which an employer had made to an un-

CANON CITY, Colorado, June B. William Kelley, the first per ssoh to die in Colorados new lethal gas chamber, was executed last night at 8 o'clock for the staying of Russell Browning, Delta hog raiser.
 Twelve poison pills were dropped automatically into a pail of water under chair in which Kelley sat.
 Kelley died apparently within 30 seconds.
 The body will probably be buried in the prison cemetery as the rela- tives are without funds for burial and they were also unable to ap- peal to the State Supreme Court.
 Kelley is probably the first man to be executed in Colorado without a higher Court having reviewed his case.

WASHINGTON, June B. = The possibility of the right to vote for the Alaskan and Hawaiian dele gates on matters of importance to their Territories is foreseen by Alaska Delegate A. J Dimond, who plans to introduce bill in the Seventy fourth Congress with such provisions.
 Delegate Dimond said he had discussed the matter with several House leaders and he believes there will be but slight difficulty in getting the measure through so long as it limits voting participa- tion to purely Territorial matters.
 Under the present rough plans of the bill, the Alaska Delegate will be given the right to vote on all fishery, mining, highway and defense legislation for his Terri tory as well as on all other matters dealing strictly with the Northland.

P RICE FIXING
 QUESTION WILL
 BE FOUGHT OUT
Code Authorities to Make Test Case Using Code
 for Rubber Concerns

WASHINGTON, June 23. = A major engagement over the issue of price fixing will be fought out soon before the Federal Trade Commission.
 Ostensibly the dispute involves only the comparatively small inter- ests of three rubber companies but developments seem likely to trans form the issue into another cele- brated industrial case which would basically affect NRA's price control powers.
 To Hit Rubber Code
 Several code authorities are plan ming to jump into the case, es- pecially in the rubber code. Three concerns are accused of violating the code by refusing to file a price list with the authorities.
 The three firms are Phillips Baker Rubber Company of Provid- ence, Rhode Island; Lacrosse Rub- Der Mills of Wisconsin and Good year Rubber Company of Middle ton, Conn
 Object of Battle
 The object of the battle is to determine the industry's right to fix or refuse to fix prices.
 The complaint charges the three companies diverted trade to them selves to the injury of their com petitors, and the public on tht basis they sold goods at less than the listed price.

 Mrs. Brown came from Browns town, on the Yakima Indian re- servation, with papers stating that Mrs. Scollard died in Montreal, July "A, 1892, of pneumonia and that the casket was discovered in the Browns apartment where the ashes have apparently been since her death, but Mrs. Brown said that she found them only yester- day.

HAZEN CITES LAWS
ON BAR SANITATION
Declares Health Statutes Can Be
Invoked on Liquor-Mixing
Set Ups.

Insanitary conditions surrounding
the hidden" service bars in liquor
selling places, cited by advocates of
the open mixing Of drinks, will be
eliminated If Commissioner Hazen has
his way.
He declared yesterday he was con-
sidering invoking building code and
health regulations to eradicate in
sanitary conditions. There isn't any
reason why at least some of the
abuses complained of cannot be
reached through our building and
health Codes" he said.
I'VE could, If necessary, amend the
building code to prescribe for bars. We
could require such things as running
water with satisfactory plumbing,
proper ventilation and lighting and
other things. 1t is my purpose to take
these questions up with responsible
District officials and see what can be
done Immediately to correct condi-
tions."
The Hotel and Restaurant Employees
Alliance has urged the liquor regula-
tions be changed to permit open
service" bars, complaining that in
sanitary practices now exist.
Action on this proposal Is being
delayed to await the return to Wash
ington Of Commissioner George Z.
Allen.
