DEATH CLOSES
Ell. D0HENY
CAREER

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 8
UN.S0.-Death today had closed
the almost fiction-like career OF
Erward L. Doheny, multi-million-
aire oil magnate.
Mr.. Doheny died at his palatial
estate in the hills overlooking
Los Angeles, late yesterday, after
a battle of almost three years
against the infirmities Of age, ag-
gravated by a stroke of paralysis
suffered late in 1881, from which
he never fully recovered.
Born in Fond du Lac, Wis, Mr..
Doheny was 70 years Of age.
At the bedside Of the oil mag
nate when the end came were
his wife, the former Carrie
Estelle Betzof, Of Marshalltown,
Iowa, and Mrs. Doheny' sister,
Mrs. j. Champion Anderson.
Retired Four Years
Extreme JUNCTION was admins
tered to Mr.. Doheny by two resi-
dent priests in the Doheny home,
The Rev. Fathers Ward and La
velle.
Since 1881 Mr.. Doheny had
lived a life Of virtual retirement
from the world in which he had
been so active since he left his
childhood home in Wisconsin, at
the age Of is.
A blow from which he never
recovered and said to have ma
terially speeded his declining
health was the murder of his
only son. Edward Laurence
Doheny, jr., in 1881. He was shot
and killed by his secretary.
The aging father, ever devoted
to his family, was heartbroken.
Doheny left home at the age OF
16, determined to establish a Tor
tune as a gold miner.
For 20 years he sought gold.
Finally it was BLACK gold
which he discovered and which al
one time gave him fortune est
mated in excess of 10000, 900.
Although he rose to the pima
Gle of financial success, it was al
q philanthropist that his name
will ever be remembered.
Last Years SOrrOwed
He was decorated with the ordel
of the Knight of the Holy Sepul
chre by the Catholic Church after
he built the beautiful St. Vincent'S
Cathedral in Los Angeles.
He also gave the Doheny library
to the University of Southern
California as a memorial to his
son.
The final years Of Mr.. Doheny'S
life were filled with trouble and
sorrow.
In 1924 the Federal Government
began an investigation of what
Mr.. Doheny termed a gift" OF
500, 900 to his old comrade Of the
prospecting days-Albert Fall, q
member Of the Cabinet Of the late
President Warren G. Harding.
The oil magnate was cleared Of
criminal offense, but Albert Fall
was convicted of accepting a
bride in connection with the leas
ing to Mr.. Doheny of the Elk Hills
,(Cal.) naval oil reserve fields.
At the time of his death suits
were pending in Federal Court
against Doheny by receivers OF
Pan.American Oil Company, ag
gregating more than $12,000,OOO

employer himself must pay an equal tax.
 Every three years, each tax will be increased one-half of one per cent until each amounts to three per cent, or total of six per cent, in 1949 and thereafter.
 Start Paying l942
 In 1942 the federal government will start paying annuities. To obtain an annuity a person must:
 Be at least 65 and not regularly employed.
 Have paid annuity taxes in each of five years after Dec. 31, 1886, and on total wages of at least $2,00o.
 Pensions will be smaller during the earlier years of the plan. A person whose wages average $100 month would receive $17.50 a month if he retired in 1s42 at age 65 after paying taxes five years But men now younger will pay taxes longer and receive greater benefits.
 A man who reaches 65 in 1867 after paying the taxes 30 years would receive $42.50 a month if his average wage had been $100 a month and up to $eS.75 if he had made $250 Q month. For longer periods and higher wages, the maximum pension would be $S5.
 Unemployment Insurance:
 The new law levies a second payroll tax on employers to fi- nance unemployment insurance. Workers are not taxed for this. Farm hands, domestic help and government employees are exempt, and also employers who have not given work to at least eight per- sons in 20 weeks of the year.
 The tax, first payable in 1887, will equal one per cent of the em- ployer's 1936 payroll. It will be two per cent the next year and three per cent thereafter.
 The unemployment insurance will be largely state matter. The federal tax being designed to in- duce, and virtually compel, states to establish their own systems. Up to 90 per cent of the federal tax will be credit to an employer for contributions to state insurance funds.
 Most Goes to States
 Thus most of the money actually will go to the states. They in turn will transmit 1t to the U. s. treas- ury which will invest the funds and pay them out to states as needed. If states fail to adopt in- surance systems, the full amount of the tax from those states will go to the federal treasury and be used for general governmental purposes.
 The federal government pro- poses to appropriate 5000, ,000 this year and $49,000,000 annually thereafter to help pay costs of ad- ministering the state systems.
 The states are given latitude in administering their systems, sub- ject to federal restrictions.
 No employment benefits are to be paid until funds have been in

 The house committee called off a scheduled hearing for 10 a. m., to- day when Hopson was to have re- sumed his testimony.
 This was done to enable O'Con- nor to introduce his custody res olution. Had the hearing been held, Hopson might have been served with the senate's citation as he appeared for questioning before the house committee.
 Black, whose anger was shared by many senators, predicted the senate would vote a warrant for Hopson promptly if he failed to appear.
 Congressional tempers, already near the breaking point after a long session, mounted in the dis pute over Hopson. Some senators threatened to Ideal severely" with Hopson if they catch him.

 Those Liable For Tax
 Under the law of al persons be- tween the ages of 21 and 60 years, inclusive, residing in Waterbury on the first day of next October will be liable for the old age pension tax, which is set at $3 per head. The city must pay the amount as- sessed against it by the state not later than February list, 1936. The old age tax will take the place Of the personal tax, which was $2 per head. Delinquents in the payment of the tax will be penalized $1 thir- ty days after hhe tax becomes due.
 The new law provides exemption only for honorably discharged vet erans who were disabled as a re- suit of service to a compensable degree. In other words, only dis abled veterans now receiving com- pensation from the federal gover- ment will be exempt from the new tax. Under the personal tax all veterans, national guardsmen, firemen, policemen and so forth were exempt. These exemptions have been wiped out.
 How They Can Be Abated
 Mayor Hayes is given authority under the new act to abate the taxes of persons who are receiv- ing aid as public charges. Chief executives of al towns, cities and boroughs have this power.
 Failure to pay the tax will entail arrest and the courts can sentence the delinquents to the workhouse. A penalty for giving false informa- ton is also set up in the new law. Any person giving false information to a canvasser can be fined as high as .$200 and sent to jail for as long as six months.
 Other estimates of assessments on cities, towns and boroughs in the vicinity of Waterbury, as made by State Tax Commissioner Hack ett, are as follows: Naugatuck, $1S,707.73; Prospect, $693.94; Thomaston, $5,473.14; Torrington, $34.030.6S: Watertown. $10,705.S1; wocott. $1,27o.27; and Cheshire, $4,264.29.

 One of the new cases reported to-day was that of three-year old child. Another of the new cases was that of four-year old youngster. The third victim is seven years of age. Last nights death involved the oldest victim of the disease here so far this year. There are now l6 active infan- tile paralysis cases in the city. At first the health department was of the opinion that the disease was centered in certain sections of tho city. Now it is prevalent in all districts.
 Dr. Godfrey Warns
 Dr. Godfrey urged people once more to-day to keep out of crewd- ed places and to keep their chill dren isolated as much as possible. Tonight at 2 o'clock he will speak over station WATR, at which time he will outline in more detail his Ideas of how to stop the spread of infantile paralysis in the city. On August 9th three cases of infantile paralysis were reported over a 24-hour period. The re- porting of four new cases over an iS-hour period at this time estab- fishes a new record for the year.

operation two years. or probably sometime in 1889. Payments are not to be denied a person who is out of work ebcause of a strike, lockout or other labor dispute or if he refuses to accept . job at less than the prevailing wages in his locality.
 Rule for States
 In practice, 1t Is expected states will grant no benefits until a man has been out of work two or three weeks or possibly longer. Compen- sation after that, under the New York state law, for example, would range from $5 to SIS a week and would be paid for not more than 16 weeks.
 The insurance thus would not carry a jobless man through a long depression. It is designed primarily to help him through the shorter periods of unemployment that occur in normal times and to give him a living while he looks for another job. Federal statis- tics show that even in the pros- perity year 1929, 2,s17,000 persons were jobless in February and 4S0,- 900 in October.

 What Plan Proposes The plan, 1t was learned, was fol Eden to read his plan for peace at the first of the formal three power meetings tomorrow. Th' plan W sasaid to be in documentar, form and was reported authorita' lively to envisage:
 1.-Important economic conces. sions for Italy in Ethiopia. 2-A proposal that Italy be given the right to colonize and exploit rich. sparsely inhabited portions of the Ethiopian uplands probably url- der League of Nations mandate as is provided for former German colonies in Article XXII of the League of Nations covenant.
 3-The offer of an outlet direct to the sea for Ethiopia, as a meas- ure of compensation for its con- sessions.
 May Offer Suggestion
 It was reported that if Musso- lini was not prepared to accept the original British plan as a basis for negotiation, Britain might sug- gest an extension of the system of extra a-terrioriality in Ethiopia, with Italy enjoying the major con- sessions. There Is a measure of extra -territoriality in Ethiopia un- der consular treaties including that o fthe United States whereby, for instance. foreign nationals are tried in consular courts and disputes be- tween foreigners and Philippians are adjudicated by mixed courts If Italy refused any measure of compromise, France and Britain ] were said to be agreed that they must for their own sakes take the problem before the League Council meeting September with a recon. mendation for full discussion, and decision on responsibility fol war. AIoisi Seemed Displeascd With the Eden-Laval talk of yes. terday representing the first stage of negotiations, the second stage was reached today when Aloisi of Italy arrived by train and visited Laval at the foreign office at II a. m.

 T had preliminary conversations with Baron Aloisi. Tomorrow morning the meeting of the sigma tories of the 1906 treaty will take place."
 The signatories are France, Bri- tain and Italy, and the conference will be held under its terms which are that the countries guarantee Ethiopia's integrity.
