CLAIRE BURTON
.DEN|ESCHARGES
|. Of WILD CAREER
Cotton Kings Widow Declares
Attack Is Effort TO Rob
Her of Rights.
q

NEW YORK. April 20.-A cate
gorical denial Of all the charges ss-
sailing her character was the an
swer OF Mrs. Claire Hyllested Bur
ton to the allegations filed in the
surrogate's court at Newburgh, N.
Y, Tuesday, by executors OF the
estate of the late Frank v. Burton,
millionaire cotton merchant, club
man and turf enthusiast.
Mrs. Burton, who lives at 405
Park avenue, declared the attack
part of an attempt to deprive her
OF a rightful share in her husbands
estate.
The document portraying her
career as ono of intimate friend
ships with various men in the
United States and Europe was
placed in court in answer to Mrs.
Burton's application for appoint
ment as ADMINISTRATIVE, pending
trial OF her contest of the viii.
Cut Off in VIII.
The will cut her off in a clause
declaring she had been provided for
in an ante-nuptisl agreement. This
agreement, which she denied en-.
tering into, assures an income OF
$40 900 year. The estate is valued
at $1,000, 900, OF which s550,000 is
in holdings Of Burton Brothers q
Co., cotton converters, at 267 Fifth
avenue. The executors include two
sons and a brother OF Burton. The
latter died March IL last.
Surrogate Smith, in Newburgh,
has denied Mrs. Burton's petition
for appointment and, pending trial,
has decided to appoint three ad.
mlnistrators, one to be named by the
court and the others by the oppos-
ing attorneys.
Mrs. Burton said yesterday:
THE calumnies heaped on me are
frightful. They are atrocious, ma.
licious and false in every one OF
their vicious details. I cannot find
words strong enough to condemn
these allegations.
Never Wrote Letters.
"All that It was necessary for
Mr.. Burton to know about me he
knew before we were married. II
Is untrue that / lived with him be
fore our marriage. 1t is untrue
that lived at any time with the
men named in the papers on file.
never even knew any one of
them. 1 never wrote or received
the letters they say they found in
my trunk.
1T is untrue that I entered into
any agreement to forego a claim
Of the estate.
THE clause cutting me off with.
out cent was inspired. Mr.. Bur.
ton had been Ill for some months
and was not himself. He had been
induced to turn practically all his
real estate over to his family"

INCREASED TAX
LEVY VOTED IN
ARLINGTON CO.
Supervisors Jump Rate rs
Cents Despite Protest of
Property Owners.

CLARENDON, Va, April 2o.-De,
spite protests of citizens from all
parts OF the county the Arlington
county supervisors last night unani.
mously voted to increase the tax
levy twenty-five cents. This action
following a public hearing in the
Fort Myer Heights courthouse. Tax.
payers from jefferson, Arlington and
Washington districts attended In
force and demanded that the super.
visors tell what was to be done with
the money raised by the increased
levy and also what disposition had
been made of funds since the board
took office.
Their only answer came for Super
visor Weaver, of Washington dis
trict. who said that. the extra money
raised, which would amount to ap.
proximately $4,000, would be placed
in the contingent fund and used when
needed for road repairing and build.
ing.E
Personalities Develop.
At times the hearing developed
warm personalities, especially 80
when President Taylor of the Clar-
endon Citizens Association told the
supervisors that IL the former obeyed
the law and filed a proper return OF
expenditures as stipulated in the
State code, IL would be unnecessary
to ask them what had become Of the
money.
Supervisor DeLashmutt, chairman
OF the board, denied Taylor's charge
and declared that proper returns had
been made. Commonwealth Attorney
Ball was asked II this was so and de-
clared that II was not. saying that
the supervisors were two or three
months overdue in filing their re-
ports. Prosecutor Ball said also that
the supervisors had not been filing
their list of receipts and expenditures
as called for, but that In the main
the report was apparently correct.
In explaining the levy increase
Supervisor Duncan said that more
money was needed because Of low
assessments on property. He point,
ed out that although the 25-cent
boost would bring the tax rate up to
81 80 in Arlington and jefferson dis
tricts and S3.40 in Washington dis.
trict, which is considerably above
the amount paid by Alexandrians,
that in reality IL was much lower
because many houses in his district
which were worth $1,000 were
assessed for only $500 or $4,000.
Lyon Defends Board.
Frank Lyon, realty owner and sub.
division operator, declared that he
knew of no money being wrongfully
spent by the supervisors, and said he
believed their books were open to the
public at all times. He also asserted
he was satisfied with the manner In
which the officials were spending
moneys received from levies.
After two hours of discussion,
Chairman DeLashmutt announced
the hearing closed, whereupon the
board went into executive session.
Shortly after. II was announced that
the. 25-cent increase had been unani'
mously favored.
-ghe s3.4O rate which will prevail
in Arlington district is due TO the fact
that the people are carrying an extra
bond issue for road building.

TALK OF DICTATOR
BY YTHEPORTUGUESE
Premier Resigns Owing to In
compatibility of Opinion
With Parties.

LISBON, Jan. 2 (Associated Press) -
The Cabinet headed by Cunha Leal as
Premier and Minister of Finance has
resigned. The probability of the estab-
lishment of a military or other dictator
ship is being talked of, but nothing In
this line has yet developed.
The resignation of Cunha Leal was
due to incompatibillty of opinion between
the Premier and the members Of the po-
litical parties concerning the holding of
elections
The Portuguese Ministry. headed by
Capt. Cunha Leal, was organized on De-
cember 16. At the time of its organiza-
ton strong opposition to the Cabinet was
manifested by the factions which COM
bined to make the revolution of last Oc-
tober. This opposition has continued.
and late December reports in Lisbon
were to the effect that two revolutionary
movement were being organized. each
designed to forestall the other Meet
ings were being held by revolutionary
groups and the leaders were threatening
to call the people to arms. The agita-
tors declared the Government had not
carried out the program upon which the
October revolution was based. Many OF
the people Of Lisbon were reported to
have fed from that city.
With this condition obtaining, the
Leal Cabinet was beset with difficulties
from its very inception. Indeed, after
Capt. Leal had been asked by the
President of the Republic to organize
a Ministry It was not until he obtained
the assurance Of support from the Re-
publican Guard that he und ertook the
task.

will have me-" he declared as he left

QUAKE IN CANAL ZONE;
FLOOD IN GATUN LAKE
Heaviest Water Pressure at
Panama Since Opening.

PANAMA. Jan. (Associated Press) -
An earthquake lasting about minute
occurred at o'clock this morning, but
did no damage either here or along the
Canal The center OF the shock was
about sixty miles distant
A heavy flood was registered in Gatun
Lake between o'clock yesterday after
noon and 80 o'clock this morning. This
made It necessary to open seven Of the
spilway gates to let the water out. IL
was the heaviest pressure OF water ex-
perlencod since the opening OF the Canal.
The extraordinary volume OF water Is
attributed TO the disturbed weather con-
ditions that have prevailed IN the north
orn part OF the Western Hemisphere in
the last three weeks. and heavy continu-
Gus rains in the Canal Zone.
