INCOME TAX SUIT
 AGAINST P.S. & W.
Board of Appeals Upholds J. S. Commissioners Ruling
Rv GEORGE H. MANNING;


 shington Bureau of the N. B. Herald)
 Washington. D. C.. June 1.-The Peck, Stow and Wilcox Co, Of South ington, lost its s92,S25.7s Sincome tax suit under a decision just rendered bs the United States board Of ta, appeals.
 The deficiency was determined by the commissioner Of internal revenue on the basis Of a return filed by the company for the fiscal year ended June 30. 1918,
 It was argued by the Connecticut concern that the commissioner eNed in his deficiency computation by fail- ing to, allow as a deduction a loss suffered by the company through litigation involving the rights to cer- tain screw driver patents. IL was also claimed that the deficiency was not at this time collectible because if was barred by the statute Of lim- itations.
 The board Of tax appeals sustain d the com missioner on both points. The decision holds that the loss through the patent suit was not de- ductible in the year 1918 and upheld the contention of the government that a waver signed by the com pany prevented the operation of the statute of limitations.

Thumb sucking does look sweet

llumD SuCk1nE uOes LOOK sweet In a baby, but 1t is disgusting in tho three-year-old and sometimes it hangs on until fifteen or sixteen! The habit may cause an Uniformed mouth or induce adenods: and it always interferes with digestion. Filming the sleeve over the hand; attaching mittens, or putting on cardboard cuffs, which prevent bending the arms at the elbows. are some Of the ways to stop the habit.
 Another bad abit--irregularity in bowel action-is responsible for weak bowels and constipation in ba- bies. Give the tiny bowels an oppor- tunity to act at regular periods each day. If they don't act at first, a little Fletcher's Castoria will soon regulate them. Every mother should keep a bottle of it handy to use in case Of collie, cholera. diarrhea. gas on stomach and bowels. constipation, loss of sleep. or when baby is cross and feverish. It's gentle influence over baby's system enables him to get full nourishment from his food helps him gain, strengthens his bowels.
 Castor is purely vegetable and harmless-the recipe is on the wrap per. Physicians have prescribed 1t for over 30 years. With each pack. age. you get a valuable book on Motherhood. Look for Chas. H. Fletcher's signature on the wrapper so you'll get the genuine.

WANT HOOVER ID CHOOSE HIS MATE
Leaders to Lay Aside Yexin6
 ViCe.Pr@idenial Problem
By FRANCIS NJ. STEPHENSON

By FRANCIS NJ. STEPHENSON
 Associated Press Staff Writer.) 1 Kansas City. June II tP - h. formal agreement was reached among some of the republican con- vention leaders today to lay aside | the vexing vice presidential situation until Herbert Hoover's nomination , is effected and he is given an oppor- tunity to indicate his wishes. Rivalry Keen
 Meanwhile the rivalry among the score of candidates was developing some high powered politics today with managers and even candidates ! rushing about the floor seeking to line up delegations The stock Of Vice President Dawes was declared on the wane by some of the Hoover administration group but no out standing opponent had been de- veloped.
 Once more the discussion return. cd to Senator Curtis ot Kansas, who is holding off word to his friends of his availability until the presi- dential race in which he is a con- testant is settled. Senator Capper, Of Kansas, announced there had been a renewal Of talk among the middle western bloc for Curtis and that his name would so before the conven- tion unless the republican leader of the senate blocked it.
 Eastern candidates were making d good battle with Senators Moses. of New Hampshire and Edge of New Jersey: Representative Tlson of Connecticut and Governor Fuller of Massachusetts, in a merry frce-for- all for uninstructed delegates. Sem ator Reed Of Pennsylvania was acc tive on the floor for Moses but Til. sons crowd claimed large num- Der of pledged votes, including some from the west and south.
 Dcnecn Heard
 Senator Deneen of Illinois con- tint q to be mentioned but there was the suggestion that unless his delegation could support Hoover it would seriously handicap his chances. The senator himself was taking no interest in the affair but the Illinois delegation was talking it over and there were indications he would be put forward.
 Governor Baker of Missouri and former Governor Hyde of the same state also were frequently mention- ed during the vice presidential fest.

session, The platform to come ill today he sald, would be the strong est and most outstanding declara - ton of principles d republican con ven'ion had ever offered.
 Change Toward TiiSon Connecticut yesterday figured In other proceedings, first on the dele gates reiterating adherence to Cool idge. it's support Of the minority antillooyer delegation in the Texas contest and the change of attitude toward Tllson for second place. James F. Walsh Of Greenwich sign cd minority report and Governor Trumhull was one of five to move its adoption and the delegation stood behind them.
 The defeat of the minority was re sarued as a test of Hoover strength and a prediction tnat he would carry the convention. There was still no indication that Connecticut would yield ground. 1il~1n's manager claimed 399 votes promised for him, the bulk of the support coming from the southern and border states. The delegation was perturb"d for fear that it would be placed in a position n which they could not support their taNolilc son candidate.
 An optimistic forecast of strength was heard by members who saw Til son but not all agreed that he had all votes or that l45 more would come on the second ballot which might give him the needed majority. As far as other candidates went 1ilson is considered as strong as any ether but he is anxious to have the backing of his own state and fears if the convention recessed before voting, conferences would initiate against him and take away needed strength. If he wins he believes it must come quickly.
 The Connecticut members outside of the convention hours are spend- ing much of their time making sightseeing trips and all regard the experience as novel Miss Katherine BNrne, Nics-chairnan ol the repub- lican state central committee, con- sders thai the convention so far is more interesting than at Cleveland four wears ago which she regarded as d ratification meeting while the present convention has surgcd at mosphcre and cross currents. Char tnce Willard New Haven, onO the other hand, comparing the conNtn- tion to the recent conventions in Chicago and Cleveland. said il was dull. Ernest E. Rogers. state treas- urer, met Martin K. Waller, son Of Former Governor Thomas M. Waller of New London who lives in this section. He said that he has not been back in Connecticut in 20 wears.

house of representatives were in effect, limiting speeches to five min utes each but Senator Moses said he would entertain motions to suspend the rules to permit speakers to have ten minutes-and no more" Shoot got good hand as he stepped up before the microphones and began to read the platform. The platform itself got it's first ap- | plause, brief interim of handclap- | ping. when the committee chairman read the sentence endorsing un- equivocally the administration of President Coolidge.
 Scarcely had Shoot read two pages before Chairman Moses walked to the runway and rapped loudly with his ga\el, directing the delegates 10 take their seats.
 No further business will be trans acted until the delegates take their 1 seats"
 The Utah senator resumed the reading but was interrupted, by 'tA'NotS Vt iiNtN oL louuSI 1IOHl tHG farotl galleries. That halted him for a moment and he changed his position so that he came within the range Of the battery of mikes" at the front of the runway.
 Delegates continued to mill around wandering mp and down the aisles and along the passaseWass in the rear. The hour Of meeting seemed 10 be a little early for d majority of the ticket holders and half an hour after the convention convened there were great gaps of empty seats in the galleries. Smoot had the copy of the platform on d music rack and he rested both hands on each side of it as he was fairly well worn out by the long fight over the platform which he presented.
 Every mention of President Cool ldges name brought applause. The reading was interrupted q third time with cries Of "louder" and Senator Moses rushed to the front of the runway 10 pound vigorously.
 ''The delegates will take their Seats," he yelled The delegates from Utah will suspend until there is order, Guests must either find seats or retire from the hall"
 The platform declaration that the United States treasury under Secretary Mellon stands unrivalled and unsurpassed" brought a round r himself sat with the Pennsylvania delegation only short distance from the platform.
 Again there was handclapping when Snoot told of the more than six billions of dollars of reduction years of republican administration.
 Senator Smoot read slowly in an effort 10 conserve his voice for the task of Wading through the 5000 word document which covered 57 typewriter pages.
 After Smoot had gotten through the tax plank, the crowd again set mp it's cry Of 'louder." Chairman Moses again pounded for order.
 'The delegate from Utah will sus- pend" he said. "The chair hesitates to Use harsh measures but 1t is pre- pared to turn loose the large army of deputy nts-at-armS to pre- serve order il the delegates them- selves arc unable to do so.'
 That brought order with a little laughter and applause and Shoot went ahead with the tariff plank. He raised his voice a pitch or two and the crowd was better able to hear. although it appeared doubtful whether Utah delegates could finish he marathon reading at that pitch.
