Warning!

Word comes from the Assoc
ciated Press of embarrassment
and annoyance inflicted by i'm
posters and petty grafters, who
in many cities Of the country, by
posing as Associated Press rep
resentatiVes, have victimiZed mer-
chants and others.
For the protection of our citi-
zens we can say authoritatively
that the Associated Press does
not issue badges or printed Gre
dentials to its representatives.
Its employees do not ask for spe-
cial privileges, advances of money,
credit at hotels and other public
places of entertainment. They
do not ask banks to cash checks
without complete Identification;
they do not solicit the purchase
of any article, or endeavor to
sell anything.
We wish our business men and
citizens to know that when any
person comes to them seeking
favorS or making any solicitation
involving money or credit on the.
ground that he represents the As
ISOLATED Press, 1t is safe to set
that person down as an impostor
regardless of the nature of his
purported credentials.

INCOME TAX FACTS.
No. Is.

Persons engaged in business
sustain losses by the theft of
goods or automobiles, or the &C
cidental destruction of machinery
or other property. AS such losses
are part of the hazards of busi-
ness, they are recognized by the
income tax law as properly de-
ductible from gross income, pro-
vtded they are not compensated
for by insurance or otherwise.
Deductible losses fall within
the three following classes:
% If incurred in trade or
business; or CD If incurred in
any transaction entered into for
profit thereof not connected with
the trade or business; or CD of
property not connected with the
trade or business, if the loss
arises from fires, storms, ship
wreck or other casualty, or from
theft.
A person who buys an auto
mobile to be used for business
purposes and sells it at loss has
had a deductible loss falling
within class /. The taxpayers
neighbor bought an automobile
to be used for pleasure only and
sustained a loss when he<sold it.
AS his loss does not fall within
any of the three classes indicated,
it is not deductible. This taxpay-
er, however, bought securities and
sold them at loss. Although
not engaged in the business of
selling and buying securities, his
loss is deductible, as it falls with
in class 2. Another neighbor
bought an automobile to be used
for pleasure which was stolen. The
loss Is deductible, as 1t falls within
class 3. Falling within class 3
also is loss Sustained by q
taxpayer whose home is destroyed
by fire or whose Summer bunga-
low is damaged by storm.
While losses by theft or bur.
glary are deductible, 1t must be
established that the property
jewelry, for example-actually
was stolen. Should circumstances
attending the loss leave the own
er in doubt as to whether it was
stolen, misplaced, or lost from
his person, the claim would not
be allowed.

Himself and Butler.

MIAMI, Fla, February 10 OPAL
Capone is wrathful because of published
reports that Maj Gen. Smedley D.
Butler had said the Chicago public

NAVY. RACE FARLEY
MAKING PROGRESS
Paris and Rome Believed to
Be Nearer Accord on
Building Plans.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, February 19.-ConverSations
which r. L. Craigie, British admiralty
expert, has been carrying on here and
which concerned Franco-Italian naval
differences, have resulted in definite
progress" it was said in official circles
here today.
The negotiations. it was added, have
now left the purely technical stage and
political angles have also been con-
sidered.
May Publish Summary.
The impression was given that a
summing up of the results already OBJ
tanned may be made public shortly.
The differences between France and
Italy over naval tonnage came to the
surface during the London Conference
last year and conversations looking for
a settlement were begun between Rene
Massigli, French expert, and Augusta
Rosso, for italy. Mr.. Craigie at that time
acted as mediator and since has taken
a large share in the efforts to reach an
agreement.
Italy's position was that her situation
in the Mediterranean, served only by
narrow straits from the ocean, made it
necessary that she have absolute equal
ity in tonnage with any continental
European power.
What France Asked.
The French asked parity with Italy
in the Mediterranean, and in addition
an Atlantic and Colonial fleet. The
situation was complicated by Italy's
demand for additional territory In
Northern Africa and other political
questions.
Mr.. Craigie has been in Paris for the
last week and has been in constant
touch with M. MaSsigli. He left yes
terday for London. This was inter-
preted as meaning that conversations
had reached such a stage that he was
in a position to report to the British
admiralty and would return to Paris
to continue the negotiations.
Germany Is Factor.
The building by Germany Of west
pocket" high-Speed. heavily armed
cruisers has forced France to abandon,
in part, her policy of constructing only
light craft, the minister of marine,
Charles Dumont, said today.
Speaking at banquet at Dunkirk
following the launching of the new
destroyer Aigle, he said that he would
introduce bill in the Chamber of
Deputies authorizing specifically the
laying down of a combat cruiser.
Such & cruiser, of 1888 tons, was
understood to have been included in the
plans on which the 1931-1932 naval
budget, voted in the Chamber of
Deputies yesterday, was based.

along the frontier today that King Al

at Talence, near Bordeaux, France. for
