ELLENBOGEN RENT
BILL FACES HOUSE
FIGHT TOMORROW
Mrs. Norton to Seek Action
Despite Opposition of
BIant0n.
DIRKSEN TO JOIN TEXAN
IN BATTLING MEASURE
Controversy Will Be Delayed
Until Two Other Proposals
Are Cleared.
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

Another attempt to force the Ellen
bogen rent control bill through the
House will be made tomorrow by
Chairman Norton of the District Com
mittee and a bitter battle is antici-
pated.
Despite the opposition Of Repre-
sentative Blanton, Democrat, Of Texas,
who led a filibuster against the meas
ure two weeks ago, Mrs. Norton is con-
fident 1t will be passed.
Mrs. Norton insists the legislation is
necessary to curtail prof1teering land
lords, who, she claims. are "gouging''
poor tenants. She has scores of COM
plants of excessive rentals which she
proposes to read to the House to con-
vince members that protective steps
are urgent.
Blanton Stands Firm.
Blanton, however, is understood TO
be prepared to resume his fight
against the bill. He believes it would
result in higher rents and the creation
of an expensive commission which
would take 10 years to get rid Of"
Representative Dirksen of Illinois,
ranking Republican member of the
District Committee, also is prepared
to join Blanton in fighting the meas
ure. 1t is his contention that the rent
situation cannot be solved by such
artificial means" as a rent commits
sion, which the bill would create to
fix and control rentals.
Because of the controversial nature
of the measure. Mrs. Norton does not
plan to call it up for House considera-
ton until two other District bills on
the House calendar are disposed of.
One is designed to abolish the present
boiler inspection bureau-the last re-
manning fee Office in the District-and
substitute boiler inspection service
in the Engineer Department. This
measure passed the Senate in January.
Optometry Bill Slated.
The other would authorize the Board
of Optometry of the District to hold an
examination for the purpose of issuing
limited license to welton B. Hutton,
who. with an associate, purchased the
business Of the Roe -Fulkerson Optical
Co. in July. 1884.
As tomorrow is the last so-called
District day" in the House this
month, it will be impossible to bring
up the Sisson bill to repeal the "red
rider" on the 1896 District appropria-
ton act until April 13. In the mean
time, the Education Subcommittee OF
the District Committee, headed by
Representative Kennedy, Democrat OF
Maryland. plans to distribute as widely
as possible copies of the record oil
hearings on the measure.
The record, however. has not yet
been printed, due to delay in assem-
bling the stenographic transcript. In
dications are that copies will be avail
able before the end of the week.

10000 EMPLOYERS
DELINQUENT HERE
ON PAY RETURNS
Estimate Lists TWo-thirdS
of Affected as Failing to
Comply With Law.
$228,800 COLLECTED
FOR FIRST 2 MONTHS
Compensation Insurance Agency
Ready to Speed Survey,
Director Asserts.

Ten thousand of the estimated
$4,000 Washington employers, believed
to be subject to the District unemploy-
ment compensation insurance act,
have failed to date to make returns
or payroll payments, Director John
A. Marshall estimated yesterday.
Marshall promised, now that the
agency has been given a staff and
administration funds, to start to dig
out" the employer who have not COM
piled with the law. He said this would
be done as soon as the staff was placed
on an operating basis.
Records of the United States Work
mems Compensation Commission and
other sources of information as to en-
ployers, Marshall said. indicate there
should be approximately $4,000 en-
ployers here who would be subject to
making monthly returns and payroll
payments to the board
The agency has been handicapped
because of lack of administration
funds and a staff. the work being done
mostly by the staff of the District
Insurance Department and volunteer
help from several applicants for posi-
tions who were in line for appointment.
Estimates 5000 Returns.
Marshall said he therefore did not
have definite count of the number
of returns or payments that had been
made, but said the figure was, roughly,
5000. If the original estimate of
$4,000 eligible employers proves cor
rect this would mean that about
10000 employers are delinquent in
making returns or payments.
The compensation insurance direc-
tor said he believed in most cases the
delinquents were employers of but one
or several workers "or else they are
employers who either think they are
not subject to the law or do not know
about or understand the require
mentS."
While the law provides for numerous
kinds OF exemption, the employer OF
one or more persons is subject to the
act If not in the exempt classes
We will be in position soon, now.
to dig up these cases and bring in the
delinquents," Marshall said Prob
ably most of them would be small
contributors. / know offhsnd of no
large employer who has failed to file
returns on payroll payments, al
though perhaps 25 of them made the
payments under protest
S228,S00 Is Collected.
The board has collected a total of
S228,800 from employers under the
rule this year they must pay per
cent of their total pay rolls The pay
ments will go to per cent next year
and to per cent the following year.
Because of the delay in getting a
staff, Marshall said he did not know
how much of the collections were for
January and how much for February.
He estimated the January payments
at $130,000, which would leave about
$98,800 for February payments, which
were due between March l and Is. He
said some of the March mail had not
yet been opened.
The boards staff plans to move
this week into its own quarters at 470
Indiana avenue, in the Estes Build
ing, owned by the District government

CO[ORED WOMAN IS
KILLED IN A WELL
Falls Into 35-Foot Shaft At
Her Home i'm Rocky
Ford Section

Death of Rosa Aston Horner, 38,
wife of Sam Horner, well known and
respected colored man of the Rocky
Ford section of Franklin, by a fall in
to the we'll at the home was learned
here today. The tragedy was shocking
to the community, and Sam has been
receiving many expressions of SYM
pathy from both white and colored
acquaintance in his bereavement
The woman was drawing water
from the well, when the boarding up
the side of the we'll gave way. She
toppled, feet first, into the we'll, which
is 35 feet deep and normally has water
in it to a depth of about five feet, her
husband said. Several of her children
were near and became panic stricken
They ran to white neighbors for help,
and it was some time before the body
was recovered. The sheriff and the
coroner of Franklin county hurried to
the scene for an investigation, and
learned that the woman's neck was
broken and deep wound made in the
back of her head, probably resulting
from crashing against jagged rocks
near the bottom of the we'll a., she
fell The body was completely sub
merged when reached, and was in q
sitting posture. The woman was still
grasping tightly to a dishpan when
located. 1t was thought she probably
died from the Icroken neck or the in
jury to her head, rather than from
drowning.
Sam Horner lives near the Ballard
and Henry Mitchell home in the
Rocky Ford section. He is survived
by seven children by the deceased his
second wife, the youngsters ranging
| in age from two to Is years, all girls
except one, Charles Lindbergh Hor
ner, age 4. Sam is the father of two
grown and married daughters by his
| first wife.

Returns Canvassed From
Run-Off Primary Held
Last Saturday

Official figures on the run-off pri-
mary election in this county last Sat
urday were canvassed today by the
Vance County Board of Elections and
the results announced. There were nc
changes in the unofficial figures pub
lished by the Daily Dispatch for gov
ernor or for coroner the only county
contest.
There was a variation of one to two
votes on the returns for lieutenant
governor and for Thad Eure for sec
rotary of state, and one error gave
Stacey W. Wade, whom Eure defeat
ed. an additional 100 votes in the East
Henderson precinct. Wade was al
ready far ahead in this county, but
was decisively defeated in the State
at large, so that the error of 100 in
that particular case made little diff
ference.
A table is given in the Dispatch to-
day carrying the complete official
vote for every candidate in every one
of the Is precincts of the county. This
table corresponds with the records OF

Nor Are Any Temporary
Figures Available as to
Probable Cost

While the proposed county budget
for the coming fiscal year, 1861
was discussed at considerable length
Monday, the Vance Board of County
commissioners did not adopt any fig
ures, not even tentatively but will re-
turn for further meeting and adj
ded discussion On the third Monday
July 20, it was learned today.
Meanwhile, no figures were avail
able as to items that were discussed
and no figures at all as to a tentative
budget for the new fiscal year.
Various county department heads
were heard during the day, including
Mrs. E. r. Austin, welfare superin-
tendent, and the lady superintendent
of the county home and the Scott
Parker Sanatorium.
Petitioners were before the toard in
the forenoon, and the routine of APP
proving bills was attended to during
the afternoon.
1t was thought possible that the
budget might be adopted and the tax
rate for 1867 adopted at the adjourn
ed meeting of the board two weeks
hence, although that was not certain.
