 cutcd Tonight

Boston, April 27 UP)-The case Of Ce!estino Madeiros. New Bedford slayer awaiting death in the electric chair, was not submitted by Cover nor Fuller to the executive council at its meeting this afternoon.
 As Madeiros' second respite ex- pires at midnight tonight. the gov crnor was expected to consider the case with his council at today's meeting. There was no indication as to what action. if any, the gov ernor would take.
 Prior to the councils meeting, which began at l:o0 D. m. the gov crnor conferred with Frank 4. Brooks, chairman of the parole board. but no statement was issued after this conference.
 Because Of the possibility that the legislature might be prorogued be- fore night. members of the govcr- nor's council were to be at the state house during the rest of the day. The council has to be in session when the general court is prorogued
 Nothing was said officially con- corning the possibility that the case might be submitted to the executive council later today Under ordinary circumstances, Madeiros probably would go to the chair shortly after midnight tonight.

Sum Involved Deficiency in Incomes and Profits
 Assessment
BY GEORGE IT. MANNING


 Washington Bureau Of the \. B. HeraId) Washington, D. C., April 27.-The Donnelly Brick Co. of New Britain, lost it's suit involving a deficiency of Sl1,974.30 in income and profits tax payments for 1920, under q decision handed down by the United States Board Of Tax Appeals today.
 The brick company constructed a tunnel brick kiln for the burning Of common brick on it's premises. and since that method had never before been used in the manufacture of common brick, the necessary ex- penditure was considered as being experiment cost It was found that the money thus expended did not re suit in the construction Of kiln suitable to enable the company to operate at q profit and extensive improvements were made later. The main item of expenditure was made in 1920 and the additions were con structed later.
 The company contcndod ina. |. should be entitled 10 deduct the cost as the kiln at that time did not constitute capital asset but was an ordinary and necessary expense.
 The board decided the tunnel kiln was capital asset and refused 10 permit any part of it's cost to be deducted as expense.
