seek TO RESURRECT
SALISBURY LAW
Court Asked ot Substitute
Wartime Act for Ball
Measure.

The Municipal Court was asked to-
day to hold that since the Ball act
was held totally void by the District
Court of Appeals. the salisbury reso-
luton is in effect in the District, and
eviction proceedings may only be
brought by a bona-fide purchaser or a
government employe who necessarily
required the property for the use of
himself or his dependents.
The court did not pass on the point
because the case was decided in favor
of the tenant on another point in
volved in the complaint.
The proposition may be of con-
siderable interest in landlord and
tenant cases brought by persons not
included in the Salisbury resolution.
it is suggested. The United States Su-
preme Court has taken jurisdiction in
the case decided by the District Court
of Appeals holding the salisbury act
invalid and many lawyers express
the view that as a war measure this
act may be upheld. while the Ball act
may not be sustained when it reaches
the highest court because passed after
the armistice. ..-z---s-.--.-. ,.
Tenants May Appeal.
AS most of the cases of eviction are
being instituted by landlords not en-
titled to possession under the Sauls-
bury act, the point raised by Attor-
ney J. S G. Gallagher today may be
followed by other lawyers in cases
where the Municipal Court will have
to decide the question, and if the
judges hold as they have that they
are bound by the decision of the Court
of Appeals. that both rent laws are
invalid. tenants may appeal and hold
their cases in the courts until the
United States Supreme Court renders
its decision on the Salisbury act.

BOSTON, July 3O.-Charles PonZi.
who claims to have amassed millions
within a few months, and who has
paid to the public large profits on
their investments in his deal in in
ternational exchange, appeared today
almost to have satisfied question
among his investors as to his SOL
vency. Only a short line formed be-
fore the payment window of the
Ponzi office this morning and when
disbursement was resumed clerks
said they were paying off nearly as
much on notes matured for the so per
cent profit in forty-five days as they
were returning to frightened inves-
tors in principal without interest on
notes surrendered short of maturity.
The virtual end of the five-day run
was in sight with few additions to the
disappearing line.
The amount paid out by Ponzi since
the run began Monday was estimated
by his manager. Miss Lucy Nell, at

to How does he do it."
To the statements of Postmaster

not enough international postal cou-

Nell declared that her chiefs manner
of "cashing in" on his operations was

when communism, sweeping through

tions in the movement, would meet
Great Britain and America in mortal
conflict, are outstanding points in a
long communication to the British
independent labor party from the third
lnternationale at Moscow, quoted by
the London Times.
The communication was made in
reply to twelve questions sent to the
MOSCOW internationale by the inde
pendent, labor party. One of these
questions was: How does communism

To this the following reply was made:
There are no other forms. There is
only communism. Whatever else goes
under the name of socialism is either
wlilful deception by the lackeys Of
the bourseoisie or self -delusion by
persons who hesitate to choose be-

surrender its power without strug

easy parliamentary victory. but for

ment from Moscow. writes:
