BORLAND TAX LAW
LEVIES CANCELLED
Street Improvement Assessments
Under Old Act Are Wiped
Out.

Prom the $50 Edition of Yesterdays Starr
The District Commissioners today
swept away most Of the remaining
vestiees of the Borland law, assessing
AUDITING property owners for street I'M
provements by blanket order cancelllng
all assessments under that law.
The act of February 20, 1881, can
celed all Borland law assessments made
within three years before that act.
There remain some assessments MADE
more than three years before February
20. 1881, on which property owners
have not paid their taxes.
In one Of these cases, the District
Court Of Appeals yesterday Cancelled the
assessment and the Commissioners de-
cided none of the others would stand:
The Borland law, passed in 1914 and
amended in 1916, based the taxation
on the amount of front footage AUDITING
the street improvement. The Court OF
Appeals in numerous decisions pre-
vioilslv had held this an inequitable
method Of assessment and the act OF
February 20, 1881. introduced numerous
Safeguards designed to eliminate the
ineouities developed in the Borland law
assessments. So far this new act has
not been tested out in court.

LEVELAND, June 8.-Fireman still
we're searching for bodies today in the
blackened tons of steel and brick that
remained of the Ellington Apartments,
DESTROYED by fire with an unknown loss
of life.
A fifth body. badly charred. was re-
covered early today. but eight tenants
were still INDICATED more than "a hours
after the terrific explosion and fire
which Quilted the building early yes
terday.
The latest known victim was tenta-
lively identified as Mrs. Clara Withers.
about 65, resident.
Authorities said the list OF missing
might be incomplete, since there was
no way of knowing how many visitors
were in the. building, a siX-story struc-
ture located in the central downtown
area. City detectives were attempting
to trace any of the missing who might
not have been at home.
Fire Chief James E. Granger and
Safety Director Frank j. Merrick an
nounced they were investigating the
disaster on the theory 1t was of incen-
diary origin.
Officials said they did not believe gas
caused the blaze although some resi-
dents reported they smelled gas shortly
before the explosion.
One hundred and twenty men were
digging in the debris, but 1t was be-
lieved it would take another day or two
for them to finish and definitely
establish how many persisted.

S89 900 PITMAN SUIT
LOST BY FORMER MAID
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press. :,
NEW YORK, June S.-1n a sealed
verdict opened yesterday by Supreme
Court Justice Louis A. Valente, jury
found a verdict for Clarence A. Pitman
of White Plains, N. Y. in the suit for
$4,000 brought against him by MIS-
Louise c. Dixon.
Mrs. Dixon, a former maid in the Pit
man household, based her suit against
the 73-year-old nephew of Sir Isaac
pitman. inventor. of q shorthand system,
on an alleged oral contract made IN
1880. Under this contract, she claimed,
Pitman agreed to pay her $500 montn
for the rest of her life to enable her TO
write motion picture scenarios.
Testimony at the trial showed Pitman
paid her $39,500 between 1920 ana 1873.
His defense was that the agreement was
not based on "filial love-" as Mrs. Dixon
claimed, but was strictly a business ar
rangement whereby he was to receive
half of the proceeds. Pitman testified
he stopped the payment u 1928 when
Mrs. Dixon had failed to sell any scripts.

REVOLT WAVE SEEN LIKELY.
Bolivian Paper Expects Socialist Acts
After Chilean Coup,

LA PAZ, Bolivia, June 8 tP).-Pos-
sibility of a wave of Socialist revolutions
in South America, from Patagonia to
the Panama Canal, was foreseen as
result of the recent Chilean coup in an
editorial today in Ultima Hora, leading
afternoon newspaper here.
The editorial said the capitalist sys-
tenn has demonstrated complete in
capacity to solve the problems of the
present"
But more than that" it continued,
"the system lacks the vision to examine
the new face of the world. Its re-
sources and its accumulated experience
clash against reality today. 1t cannot
find the formula to save itself.
Its latest failure is the result OF an
attempt to apply to new problems meth
DDS of solution which were efficient 20
or 80 years ago, without realizing that
the methods must of necessity be mod
ernized.
1T will not be long-this is the gen.
eral opinion that reality will soon con-
firm-before Peru and Argentina ex-
perience revolutionary movements Of
the same nature as Chile has just I'M
dergone And this will extend to Bo-
livia and the other countries Of Latin
America"
