Taxation Bureau
Backs Mayor For
Charter Revision

Mayor Kaufman's recent pro-
posal for revision of the city char
ter was given the Endorsement of
the Pierce County Taxation bureau
in a statement released Thursday
by the bureaus secretary, Karl B.
Kellogg.
The statement follows:
THE Pierce County Taxation
bureau, an organization of taxpay-
ers, for number of years engaged
in the study of local tax matters
and the financial and governmental
problems of our city and county,
has read the recent published state
ment of Mayor Kaufman with
much interest.
I'm the course of its studies and
Investigations of tax matters the
bureau has frequently run into
problems which in its opinion could
only be properly solved by amend
ments to or revision of our city
charter. Many of these problems
have arisen due solely to changed
conditions, to properly meet and
cope with which our present char
ter is inedaquate.
THE tax bureau believes that a
revision Of our charter by a COM
petent group Of elected freeholders
Of Tacoma would be in the interest
of good government and highly
beneficial to our city, and it there
fore heartily indorses the program
as inaugurated."

HERE'S MORE ABOUT
LOCAL KNIFE FIGHT


police learned that Uzlic, after a
run of luck in a gambling game at
lower Broadway hotel. went to
the J. & M. cafe.
He had been drinking, and was
rolled of his winnings by per-
sons unknown" 1t was stated.
Complains Of Loss
Uzlic returned to the cafe an
hour after the time Of the rob-
berry, and started to complain of
his loss.
Martin ordered him out of the
place, but Uzlic refused to 60, and
Martin then decided to throw Uzlic
out, police said. He took a swing
at Uzlic's jaw.
Uzlic ducked the punch, and
moved into the fight again by
lunging at Martin with the knife
he suddenly pulled from his pocket.
Police Trail Man
Before breakfast customers in
the cafe could intervene, his head
was gashed with a four-inch cut,
the blade plowed a deep three-inch
cut along his ribs, slashed through
his clothing into his shoulder, and
sliced his neck.
Not daring to tackle Uzlic. who
was still armed with the knife as
he bolted through the door, wit
nesses called police and attempted
to stanch the rapid loss of blood
from Martins wounds.
Police Sgt. Brown and Officer
Kelly, on the downtown beat, De-
tective Sam Blake and Officers
Mace, Trent and Joyce went to
the scene.
Found In Bed
Uzlic had cut his own thumb In
the encounter, and left a trail of
blood to his hotel room. Blake,
Mace and Kelly followed him,
broke through the bolted door, and
found him on the bed, with a towel
wrapped around his injured hand.
The knife was on the dresser.
Uzlic was jailed for investiga-
ton, while Martin was removed to
Pierce County hospital in a police
ambulance. He was given emery
ency treatment by DR.. E. M. Got
kin.
Suspect Sought
Hospital attendants said that
despite great loss of blood, the
victim had a good chance Of re-
covery.
1t was indicated Martin was not
linked with the loss of Uzlic's
money.
Police were on the trail of a
suspect seen in Uzlic's company
about the time of the alleged rob-
berry.

Italians Fleeing Albania
Report Anti-Rome Riots
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, April 8-Some of the
1000 or more Italian refugees from
Albania said today they fled that
country because of insurrectional
movements which broke out the past
week.
They said that for week they
had noticed an anti-Italian move
ment which reached alarming pro-
portions" last Wednesday when Al
bapians celebrated the birth of an
heir to King Zog and Queen Ger
aldine. Their accounts conflicted
with that of an American woman
refugee who refused to divulge her
name, fearing reprisals on Albanian
friends in Tirana.
The American maintained that
groups of students sang patriotic
songs in Tirana streets last Satur-
day and Sunday following popular
concerts. She insisted nothing was
said about Italy but that the reason
for the songs, which had indie
pendence as their theme, was OBJ
vious since there were rumors of
impending italian invasion.
King Zog, fearful of incidents,
forbade further demonstrations.
Nothing further happened, she
added, until the birth of the Crown
Prince when the people again were
allowed to celebrate in the streets,
and again gave vent to their feel
ings in patriotic songs.

smooth-talking stranger who posed
as doctor to mulct 1t. John Stein
of the Fire Department, patient in

terday.
The man entered 1t. STEMS room

a few weeks ago, made the change.
On counting the 81 bills. 1t. Stein

told the man. who took the money,
to add the two other bills. He
slipped it into an envelope before
handing it back and, on opening the
package after the man was gone,
1t Stein found only 81.
The stranger was described as of
medium size and we'll dressed.
