DEATH OR SILENCE
CHOICE GIVEN WIFE
IN PASSPORT CASE
Mrs. R. P. Stengler Re
ceives Threatening Let
ters in Connection With
Germans Arrest for OBJ
tanning Papers.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2e.--sealed lips or
death was the choice given by anonymous
letter writer's today to Mrs. r. P. Steg-
Ter, the American wife of Richard Peter
Stegler, German reservist who confessed
under the influanoe of his wife's patriotic
demands that he had been picked as a
German spy to complete the work left un-
done by Carl Hans Lody recently exc
outed in the Tower of London, and Inn
plicating Captain Boy-Ed, naval attache
of the German Embassy, in a passport
scandal
Undaunted by the threats, Mrs. Stegler
took the letters to Charles Griffith, her
husbands counsel. She said she would
continue her endeavors to have her hus-
band tell all details of the plot whereby
he was to enter England by fraudulent
passports from this country and betray
war secrets of Great Britain into the
hands of Germany.
The letters warned Mrs. Stegler that
she was acting as trouble-maker be-

tween the United states and Germany
and that her assassination would follow
II she dared to continue her present
course.
Lody was sent to his death by Cap
tain X. Boy-Ed, the naval attache Of
the German Embassy, according to a
statement made yesterday by Richard
p. stesler the German reservist ar
rested in this city on Wednesday.
In this statement, made to his coun-
sci, Charles H. Grlf1ths, the former AS
slstant United States Attorney, Stegler
involved another man, whom he declared
to be member of the German diplomatic
corps, now living this city.
This man, Doctor Fuehr, was form
erly attached to the German Embassy in
Toxic, and came here after the outbreak
of hostilities, according to stegler. He
says that after getting this information
he put the matter UP to the naval at
tache, who only shrugged hls shoulders.
Boy-Ed denied emphatlcally and speci-
1cally that he knew anything of Lody
except what he read In the papers, that
he had offered Stegler $150 month to
work as spy In London and like
amount to his wife for life in the event
of his meeting death. He did, however,
admit giving Stegler letter to Doctor
Fuehr.

Administration Reported
to Have Dropped "Strict
Accountability Attitude
to Gain Concessions
From Belligerents.
England and Germany Still
Silent on Proposals-Trans-
atlantic Sailings From Brit
ish Ports Held Up by Official
Order.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2s.
This Government is playing the big
brother" role toward Germany and Eng
lend, authorities said today.
Il was said the Administration has
Withdrawn the mailed fist of strict ac-
ccuntabillty" in its negotiations with the
two nations over their hunger warfare,
and with the humanitarian idea as
basis. mas offered informal negotia tions
70 halt the two.
II was added that Americas commerce
has heen relegated to the background in
the arguments. by reason of England's
veiled taunts In her last note that this
nation is following dollar diplomacy.
one OF the Governments chief concerns
was autnorltatlvely reported to be fear
that the two nations retaliations may
know no bounds
Safety of prisoners in Europe's pens
may be involved by the hunger war Off
cials held Hence, latest negotiations
have sought to prevent such wholesale
tragedy, particularly in view of bitter
criticisms from all sides concerning pris-
oners' treatment, and requests for Amer
lean Intervention in the situation.
Looming above this, the Government is
said TO be worried lest starvation of Ger
many's civil population react by arousing
among Americans anger against England
and Its Allies.
1t was explained at the State Depart
ment today that no effort has been made
with Germany to prevent mine-sowing, in
view of the fact that this Government has
no proof that Germany has ever laid
mines, although in her recent note she
indicated her intention of doing SO in
the death zone.
No answers had cCne early today to
proposals that foodstufrs so ilrect to Ger
many's civil population, under United
States supervision, or to the proposal for
cessation OF the "untersee" warfare in
Germany's death zone.

Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1915-02-26

Although the regular force was nearly
doubled, the clerks at the Internal
Revenue offices on the sixth floor of the
Federal Building had their hands full all
day waiting on hundreds of Philadel-
phians and residents OF nearby polnts,
whose Incomes bring them under the
Federal income tax regulations. Re-
turns must be made before March T. and
after the revenue offices were thrown
open crowds thronged the space before
the windows, and for the greater part of
the afternoon long line of prospective
contributors extended along the corri-
dor.
Announcement that after next Monday
fine of so per cent. of the amount due un-
der the income tax law would be charged
delinquents brought nlnth-hour seekers
after information to the Federal Build
ing In droves. This line mingled with
druggists, doctors, dentists, hospital rep
resentatives and veterinarians. who were
on the same floor waiting to take out
special licenses for the sale of drugs
under the new Harrison act which goes
into effect on March l.
During the last few days many thousand
persons have besieged the revenue offices
to get their returns in before the time Is
up. The army of clerks required to ham
die the income tax business have been
busily engaged in Strengthening out the
Kinks in the intricate law. The subjects
OF depreciation and loss have caused more
trouble and misunderstanding than any
of the other branches.
In this connection Internal Revenue
Collector Lederer cites a decision by the
Treasury Department at Washington on
the subject 1t is, in part. as follows:
depreciation as an allowable deduction
IN ascertaining annual net income for
the income tax is separately provided for
and is not to be confused with loss. The
depreciation provided to be taken as a
deduction in return of income is the
value assigned to the deterioration of
physical improvements or assets, such
as are susceptible of having their value
leSsened through wear and tear use or
obsolescence. Any shrinkage in the value
of bonds, stocks and like securities due
to fluctuations in their market value is
not deductible In a return of income as
depreciation or loss.
Losses may be sustained by indi-
viduals or corporations on personal or
real property. Only those losses are de-
ductible which are sustained during the
tax year in trade'-that is the business
which engages the time, attention and
labor of any one for the purpose of live
lihood profit or Improvement. Loss to
be deductlble must be an absolute loss,
not speculative huctuating valua-
ton of continuing investment, but must
be an actual loss, actually sustained and
ascertained during the tax year for
which the deduction is sought to be
made; 1t must be incurred in trade and
be determined and ascertained upon an
actual, completed, a closed transaction.
Loss is the difference between selling !
price and cost, where the selling price
is less than cost"
