 Fowler and Miss Moran were in the back seat of the car at the time of the fatal crash.
 The coroner's account of the trag- edy follows:
 Deceased, together with Harry Johnson, went to QuaSsapaug on the 7th of August, 1895, in de- ceased's car. After they had been at the lake resort for some time they started home and upon driving from Quassapaug on to the highway they found Anna Haggerty and Julia Moran waiting for a bus to take them back to Waterbury. Der ceased stopped and invited the girls to get in and ride with them. This they did and while coming in to Waterbury they decided to go some place where they could get 8 drink. and they went to 8 restaurant at Mill Plain where they all had some thing to drink. Deceased became so intoxicated that when they left the restaurant some time shortly before two o'clock, Eastern Daylight Sav- ing Time, they put him in the back seat of the car, because he was un- fit to drive, and there he immedi- ately fell asleep. Julia Moran got in the back seat with him and the party then started away from Mill Plain, according to their statement to take the girls home to Wood street. However, instead of going toward Wood street they started out Meriden road, Johnson driving, with Miss Haggerty in the front seat with him. They were travelling at high rate of speed and after they had gone over the rise and were past Norris street and were going down. grade towards Tyler's Ladder Shop they attempted to pass the car dr1v- C by Fortier on the right. FortieT was on his own right side of the road and in order to pass him they had to go partly off the road. In SC doing, they struck a telephone pole standing well of the road, landed in a sand ditch and turned com pletely over. At the time this oc. cured Johnson was behind thu wheel and, although she states sht wasn't doing so, I find Anna flag gerty was assisting Johnson in thu driving. After turning over at leas once the car again landed on 1t wheels and came to stop, headet back towards Waterbury, oil th' highway on the southerly side. Al of the occupants of the car wer' shaken up and deceaseds skull wa fractured. Death was instantaneous
 I find that said death was causes by fractured skull received when thu car in which he was 8 passenger operated jointly by Harry Johnson and Anna Haggerty, struck 8 tele phone pole and sand pile art turned over while passing 8 car or the wrong side and while both oper' ators were under the influence O licuor; and that said death wa caused by the gross and crimina negligence of said Harry Johnson and Anna Haggerty.
 In compliance with the statute have filed with the clerk of the su' perior court for New Haven count! at Waterbury any report of the in quest together with the testimon! taken.

 This emphasis on collective action means that Great Britain will go with the league but will not act alone to carry out its covenant in event that penalties are of suffi- cient seriousness to cause an attack by a penalized nation.
 Mussolini is understood to have intimated plainly that he would regard an oil embargo as military penalty which would call for mil- itary response.
 Military experts believe that an oil embargo on coal, iron and steel which is expected to accompany it., would cripple Italy within four months.
 It would rouse Mussolini to des- peration is another thing that ex- perts believe.
 The announcement confirmed previous statements that despite postponment of a meeting of the league of nations general staff set for Friday, at which oil, coal, iron and steel embargoes would have been considered, Britain had not given up the idea of an embargo.
 Of oil producing nations, Russia, Rumania, the Netherlands and India-all small exporters-have announced that they would join in an embargo if all producers, in- cluding non-members of the league, participated.
 The United States has indicated that 1t will cooperate.

pregnable. There he spent his last years isolated from all the world.
 With him died also any Italian hope that he, as claimant for the throne, might be put back into power, an Italian puppet, if Em- peror Halle Selassie ever suffered defeat serious enough to bring a revolt against him. .s
 It has been a matter of specula- ton ever since the outbreak of hos- tilities whether Lii Yussu might ever be useful to invaders, who have sought to capitalize little pop eyed Ras Gugsa, widower of the emoeror's daughter, who deserted to the Italians at Aduwa.
 Lii Yassu's story began back in 1913, at the death of the old En1- peror Menelik.
 In 1908, foreseeing death, Menelik nominated Lii Yassu as his heir, under the regency of Ras Tessama.
 But chaos followed. Empress Tai- tu, the aged Menelik's wife; and tribal leaders began fighting among themselves. The empress was driven inso retirement in 1910. Ras Tessa- ma died in 1911. Lii Yassu seized power under his own name, though he never was actually crowned.
 At once, according to historical records, Lii Yassu proved himself tyrannical and absolute. But more serious to Philippians. devout coptic Christians, he began to show lean- ings toward MohammedaniSm.
 In 1916, the Albina, head of the Ethiopian church, excommunicated Lii Yassu. Released from their oaths of fealty to him by his ex- communication the chieftains ot the country revolted and deposed him. Lii Yassu's father, Ras Mikae, of the Wollo- Gala country, raised an army and fought for Lii Yassr but his men were almost annihilat' ed in battle October 27, 1926.

Building Very Weak.

The one almost hopeless factor
is building. After the first brief flush
of P. w. A. activity a year ago, build
ing has failed to show anything but
slight occasional furries, which never
developed into q trend. The latest
favorable furry is in residential build
ing. January contracts were up to
S22, 400, 900, a so per cent improvement
over December. The amount, of
course. is insignificant.
P. w. A. contracts awarded by Sec
retary Ickes in January amounted to
$50, 900 900, which was about one
third Of the volume in that month
last year. There will be hope for
building after the pending work-relief
bill passes, but not before.
Three Prices Near 1926.
The prices Of only three commodi-
ties are relatively higher than farm
and food prices now. That is, only
the prices of building materials, hides,
leather, and metals are nearer the
1926 level. And food prices are still
going up.
The food price level for the January
IL week was 1877 and by the February
is week 1t was up to 1871 in the official
figures. But for the same weeks, all
other prices actually decreased slightly,
from II to 70.2.
All of which indicates that nature
has her own commodity dollar.

DOUBLE CANDIDACY
BY LONG POSSIBLE
Observers Say He Could Run for
Senate After Gov.
ernorship.
BY the Associated Press,

by the ASSOCIATED treSS.
BATON ROUGE, La, March L.
Political Louisiana speculated today
over Senator Huey p. Longs an
nouncement that he would be a candi-
date for Governor in January, 1896.
AS the special session of the Legis-
lature prepared to speed % new bills
on to final passage tomorrow, ending
another Of the momentous five-day
gatherings of law makers, conversa-
ton in State House circles centered
around the Senator's announced
candidacy.
The gubernatorial primary Is set for
January, 1896. the same date as the
primary for the United States Senate
seat Long now holds. Some observers
thought it unlikely that Long would
wish to relinquish his seat in the
Senate. particularly in view of his
presidential aspirations.
The senatorial election formerly was
scheduled for the Fall of 1886, but by
a recent law it was moved up to jan
uary. It was said, however, that 1t
would be an easy matter for Long to
set the Senate date back again 30
that he could run for Governor In
January and then, II he wished, for
Senator later In the year.
The House yesterday readily passed
all of Longs measures and sent them
over to the Senate.which promptly re-
ferred them to its Finance Committee,
which in turn Immediately reported
them favorably.
The Senate is scheduled to receive
the approved bills from the committee

Your Income Tax
Deduction for Losses Other Than From

Sale or Exchange of Capital Assets.
Deductions for losses are divided
into four classes. and to be allowed
must follow closely the wording Of the
income-tax law. Losses are deductlole
if incurred % in the taxpayers trade.
business or profession: (2) in any
transaction entered into for profit;
90 from fires, storms, shipwreck, or
other casualties. or from theft, and
az from wagering transactions.
Business losses result, usually, from
the purchase and sale OF merchandise.
Such losses usually are aScertained oy
means of inventories, which are re-
quired whether in the opinion Of the
commissioner Of internal revenue their
use is necessary to determine the in
come of any taxpayer.
The term transaction entered into
for profit" means any kind OF busi-
ness proposition. For example. tax
payer purchases an automobile TO be
used solely for business purposes, and
which is sold at a loss. AS this Is
business proposition from start to
finish. the loss is deductible. But II
he had purchased the automobile to
be used for pleasure or convenience,
the deduction would not be allowed:
it was not a transaction entered into
for profit.
A loss sustained in the theft of an
automobile purchased for pleasure or
convenience is deductible, as it falls in
class 3. If, because of faulty driving
but not of "willful negligence" an au-
tomobile maintained for pleasure is
damaged, the taxpayer may claim the
loss sustained, as it comes within the
meaning of the word casualty"
Where damage results from the faulty
driving of an automobile with which
the automobile of the taxpayer col
lides, the loss occasioned the tax
payer likewise is deductible.
Losses from wagering transactions,
whether legal or illegal. are deductible
only to the extent Of gains from such
transactions. The excess OF such losses
over the gains is not deductible.
All losses are deductible only to the
extent to which they are not COM
pensated for by insurance or other
wise.

When Mr.. Roosevelt gets to the ex-
ecutive Office, which is generally
around IL o'clock, he remains there
until dark. Unlike his predecessors, he
does not return to the White House
mansion for luncheon. At / o'clock
in the afternoon he has a desk lunch
served in his Office. Always he has
one or two friends or associates as
guests, and often takes this occasion
to hold a conference without loss of
time.
The Presidents daily Office en-
gagement list is usually made out for
calls of not more than IS minutes
duration. Sometimes he can dispose
of caller in five minutes, but he is
more apt to run over the 15-minute
period, thereby delaying other en-
gagements. Usually when the Presi-
dent leaves his Office and starts back
for the White House, which is gen.
orally about 6 O'Clock, he takes a
swim in the specially built pool This
is his principal exercise, although
occasionally he breaks his daily rou-

Mr. Roosevelt Is as happy as a
schoolboy if there is nothing pressing
and he can nestle deep in a big chair in
the study, read a good book or maga-
zine, or perhaps review his stamp
collection. He has been known to
smilingly remark when indiSposed for
a day or two with a cold: Now
can get in some good reading and
look over my stamps"
But while Mr.. Roosevelt and his

ways appear to be happy, and can
always take time to tell or hear

working hard and noiselessly-thati is.
to get their work done without much

knowing it is being done.
