A day came, it seemed, in the ripening romance, when Mrs. Hee- nan told him that the children's so- ciety had threatened to put Frances in an institution. Mrs. Hecnan cried and said such an action would kill her. Browning said.
 Shortly thereafter you were mar ried?' asked the lawyer.
 "Yes. at Cold Springs
 And where did you so on your marriage night?"

 Did you on that night make any advances to your wife,"
 T did not"
 Later he said. at the White Plains House when alone with him Mrs. Browning threatened to call her mother.
 He Called Mrs. Heenan
 T told her not to bother and I stepped to the door and called Mrs. Heenan myself" Browning testi- fled. "I could understand. Mrs. Heenan came and she and her daughter went into another room and I did not see her again that night
 He denied with explosive em- phasis that he had mistreated his wife.
 Browning was frowning as he testified. The high, stiff collar which he wore seemed getting far too high and too stiff and he squirmed and pulled at it.
 Offered Skin For Grating
 Browning said that at one time he offered to give his own skin for a grating operation to cover Peaches scars from the acid burns. Numerous physicians treated her, he said, and it was when one of them asked if they knew where they could get some skin for grating that he answered.:
 "Why certainly, l do. I can give her skin. l did 1t for my mother. Why not for Frances?'
 "Why didn't you?" came the ques- ton.
 Well, I don't understand exactly why I couldn't but it seems that the burns were such they couldn't ar range it."
 The questioning changed to in- Il. Co Brownings desire for children.
 He emphatically denied he had opposed her having children but on the contrary she had told him she did not want any children.
 Wanted a Family
 Did you want any," asked the lawyer.
 T did," responded Browning again with emphasis.
 Browning next gave a detailed travelogue covering their belated wedding trip which took place last summer. He told each stop and the places where they spent the night and it became so detailed the court stopped him.
 In answer to questions Browning reiterated emphatic denials to seri- ous charges made by his wife. He said if he had even heard of such acts as charged against him T didn't listen to it."
 Did you ever lock your wife in her room?"
 "No, sir" Browning answered. "1 never locked anyone in any room."
 Did you give Mrs. Browning an allowance
 T gave her pin money and bought most of her clothes.'
 Did you give her mother an al- lowance?"
 "Yes, both an allowance and other gifts"
 What did you do on your wife's birthday"
 Birthday Presents

Income Tax Problems
Simplified for All


Deductions for depreciation form an
imnortant item in the returns of many
taxpayers and are the subject of fire.
ouent injuries The word "deprecia-
ton is not used by the revenue act
of 1926. which provides for a reason
able allowance for the exhaustion,
wear. and tear of property used in
the trade or business, including a
reasonable allowance for obsolescence. q"
For convenience, such allowance usual
" is referred to by regulations relat-
ing to income tax as depreciation.
In claiming a deduction for depre
citation several fundamental princi-
pies must be observed. The deduction
must be confined to property actually
used in the trade, business, profession
or vocation. In general, it applies to
the taxpayers capital assets-build-
ings. machinery, etc.--the cost Of
which can not be deducted as bust
ness expense. A building or machine
gradually becomes old and worn out.
on account of this depreciation the
value OF such assets is decreased. A
loss is thereby sustained, for which
the taxpayer is entitled to recognition
in making his return of income.
Depreciation may he claimed on all
business property, which includes not
only buildings and machinery of a
permanent character. but automobiles,
farm tractors. mine aud mill equip
ment. office furniture. and books A
lawyer, doctor, or other professional
man may not charge off as a current
expense the cost of a library used
wholly in his profession, this being Il
capital expenditure and the library a
capital asset. But he may deduct an
allowance for depreciation, based upon

No Reply Forthcoming i'm Sacasa Offer
to Accept Mediation.

No reply has been forthcoming
from the State Department to Juan
h. Sacasa'S offer to accept mediation
of his conflict with President Diaz of
Nicaragua.
A similar offer was preached last
week by DR.. T. S. Vaca, Sacasa'S rep
resentative here, after which it was
said at the White House that Presi-
dent Coolidge regarded Admiral Lati-
mer. in command Of American naval
forces in Nicaraguan waters, as the
proper channel through which the
good offices of this government
should be solicited.
The Washington Government has
not volunteered to mediate the Mica
raguan dispute Independently or
jointly with Central American re-
publics. A mediation proposal by
Costa RIGA has met refusal by Presi-
dent DiaZ. the Nicaraguan Conserva-
tive leader.
SacaSa's latest offer was trans
mitted to the State Department yes
terday by DR. Vaca. The Liberal
leader expressed willingness to elimi-
nate himself from the Nicaraguan
situation and to accept mediation by
the United States and four Central
American republics.
Published reports that two Ameri-
cans are participating III the nOStlIIleS
in Nicaragua as aviators in the Diaz
army led the State Department to an
nounce today that 1t had no informa-
ton on the subject.
Under the law as interpreted in the
case of the aviators who served in
Morocco, American soldiers of fortune
can take part in foreign wars without
sacrifice of American citizenship, un-
less they taken an oath of allegiance
TO the foreign government they serve.
