'SCRATCHLESS' VICTORIA GOES
 ON TO SEWARD
D. ep Sea Diver Spends Five Hours Examining
 Vessels Hull
Not even a scratch"

Not even a scratch"
 That was the verdict returned by A. J. LaGasa, deep sea diver who spent five hours examining the hull of the steamer Victoria when that vessel was in port here last night.
 LaGasa's report apparently was good enough for the United States steamboat inspectors here, for the Victoria left at midnight, north bound for Seward. The vessel had spent 50 hours earlier in the week south of Bella Bella, B. C., when she ran aground in snow storm on the journey from Seattle.
 Alaska Steamship Company off, cials here were not surprised today at LaGasa's report. They pointed out that the especially sturdy con- struction of the Victoria's hull would lend itself to much more punishment than the boat received on the British Columbia mud bank.
 When the Victoria left last night, she carried the following To- cal passengers:
 For Seward-Mrs F. w. Whit cher, F w. Whitcher, J. J. Mo Carthy, Alice Palmer; for Skag- way-Mrs. c. P. Policy, c. P. Pol ley; for Yakutat-Mrs. Anna James, Mary Brown, Earl Shotridge, Dan Henry, Ray Brown; for Haines- Karl Tagg, Edward Metz, Alice Tagg; for Cordova-W. E. Baines, Willard Bergseth.

Letters Which Provoke
Revolt in Congress.

|HE mailman is the biggest in

President cannot generally
prevail against him.
This tells the Uholc inside story
OF iDhat happened to Mr.. Roosepelt

suspicion that the man behind the
mailman in this presidential de-

This is only a symptom. however. Of

Your Income Tax
Depreciation Allowances.

Depreciation Allowances.
The amount to be recovered by
depreciation is the cost Of the prop
erty if acquired after February %,
1913 If acquired by purchase prior
to that date, the basis is the cost
of the property, less depreciation sus-
tanned prior to March /, 1918. or the
VI le on March /, 1913, whichever is
greater.
The property allowance for de-
probation is that amount which
should be set aside for the taxable
year in accordance with a reasonably
consistent plan (not necessarily
uniform rate), whereby the aggregate
amount so set aside, plus the salvage
value, will at the end of the useful
life of the property equal the cost
or other basis of the property.
The depreciation rate of building
is not based upon the number of years
it will stand before being condemned
and razed, but on the number of years
it will remain habitable or service
able for the purpose for which con-
structed.
If the taxpayer builds a new build.
ing, the period over which depreciation
may be claimed begins at the time
the building is completed and capable
of being used. Buildings under con-
struction are not subject to . de-
probation allowance.
If it is clearly shown that, because
of economic or other conditiC .ss. prop
erty must be abandoned at a ulate
prior to the end Of its normal usefuf
life. so that depreciation deductions
alone are insufficient to return the
cost or other basis, reasonable de-
duction for obsolescence may be al
lowed in addition to depreciation. No
deduction for obsolescence Is permit
ted because. In the opinion of the
taxpayer, the property may become
obsolete at some future date.

navy. and Gen. Senjuro Hayashi,
minister of war, discuss American and
Soviet armaments in relation to the
Japanese Army and Navy budget.
The ministers took the floor to reply
to an Interpolation by Viscount Kiko
Okochi, who declared accurate knowl-
edge on the strength of United States
and Russia's military resources Is
essential in determining what Japan
should spend on her own ornaments.
Baron Toshiotsu Sakamoto. retired
vice admiral, inquired whether the
United States was not the outstanding
opponent to Japan's claim for naval
parity and therefore the chief obstacle
to a naval agreement.
Koki Hirota, the foreign minister,
replied that it was equally dificult
to convince the United States and
Great Britain Of the justice Of Japan's
claims.

Refining OF Washington's trafiic
lights to permit vehicles to cover at
least q mile before being stopped was
suggested today by Representative
Dirksen, Republican, Of Illinois, as a
means Of expediting the movement Of

Dirksen pointed out that under the

cannot move more than two or three
blocks at q time and that congestion
and confusion results. Some of the
larger cities. particularly Detroit and
New York, he said, are handling their
trafhc problems more effectively than
Washington because they increase the
period between q change tn light sig
mails.

REVOLT IN SENATE
PROVING GENERAL
Both Conservatives and Lib.

Deserters' Ranks.
By the Associated Press.

Democrats of the conservative"
and "ultra-n liberal" wings are having
their innings in the Senate these
days. Capitol observers are wonder
ing when and II the administrations
lists are going to stem the rally.
Political sideliners. trying to figure
what the score will be when this ses-
Sion'S game is over, took q look at the
lineup on the four major questions
on which the Roosevelt administra-
ton has met defeat since the Presi-
dent took office.
Twenty-nine Democrats went
against their White House chief in
the last Congress when the veterans
compensation veto was overridden.
Twenty-Five voted against the ST.
Lawrence waterway treaty in the
same Congress.
Twenty Desert on Court.
This session 20 Democrats left the
reservation to vote against the World
Court and 81 answered AYE" on pre-

strenuous opposition by the White

at the relief bill and social security
program.

SERVICE TRADES
CODE IS PLANNED
N. R. A. Reported Consider
ing Link to General Retail
Agreement.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
While controversy over N. r. AS
future continued an authoritative
source disclosed today that Blue Eagle
officials are tentatively considering
bringing the service trades under the
general retail code.
These trades employ $4,000 bar
bers bootblacks, restaurant employees,
pants pressers and other such
workers.
After months of puzzling, certain
recovery chieftains were said to have
hit upon the retail code idea as a
means of solving long pending prob
LEM of enforcing wage and hour pro-
visions in these small businesses def
nitely not engaged in interstate COM
merce.
Sell Articles Besides Services.
1t was disclosed today that some
ofdcials believed the barber and
beauty shops, dyers and cleaners and
other trades could be linked to the
retail code because almost all sell
preparations in addition to the serv-
ices rendered. 1t was pointed out, as
an example. that in many cases motor
service stations sell tobacco and candy
as we'll as oil. gas and tires.
A definite decision to move to bring
businesses under the big code has not
yet been made, SO far as is known.
From the very first N. r. A. encoun-
tered with the service trades. Soon
after nine national codes were ap-
proved, each containing price fixing
arrangements, it became apparent to
many experts that Federal authority
in Washington could not enforce q
fixed price schedule in. say Q Mid
western city.
Regional Agreements Urged.
To meet this situation, regional
agreements, establishing fixed prices
for hair cuts and suit pressing, were
urged. A number of these were sub
mitted to N. r. A. for approval but
only few were sanctioned. The legal
question arose as to the Federal Gov
ernment's power to approve such
agreements, which applied only to a
local region.
The latest development In the de-
bate over N. r. A. was q statement
last night by Senator Borah, Repub-
ncan, Of Idaho taking issue with DON
aid Richberg, who had urged that the
new law be made flexible enough to
allow q distinction between kinds of
trusts.

PRESIDENT SILENT
ON SENATE ACTION
May Suggest Reconsidera.
ton of Work.ReIief
Measure.
BY the Associated Press.

HYDE PARK, N. Y, February 25.-
President Roosevelt watched interest
edly but silently today the reaction
of the country to the Senate's vote
against his work relief program.
At his boyhood home here for a rest,
the President offered no comment,
but there was every indication that
he was convinced that work relief
rather than the dole was the better
attack on unemployment.
May Ask Reconsideration.
With the 1880, 100000 work bill
back in the Senate Appropriations
Committee it appears likely that Mr.
Roosevelt will suggest its reconsider
alton by the Senate once the measure
of public reaction has been recorded.
However, he carefully refrained from
any comment today on this or other
public issues.
Members of the presidential staff
have reflected some concern at the ef-
feet Of Congress of messages from
organized groups and they also are
watching keenly and silently the re-
suit of the move by Senate leaders to
cause general public sentiment.
Drives Old Sleigh.
President Roosevelt drove the old
family sleigh over the covered
lanes of the estate yesterday.
He arrived yesterday morning by
special train from Cambridge, Mass,
in time for steaming breakfast with
his mother and Mrs. Roosevelt in the
house overlooking the frozen Hudson
River.
Official cares were put aside as
far as possible and he spent the day
in relaxation. 1t was midafternoon
when Mr.. Roosevelt took up the reins
of the two-seated black-and-red
sleigh pulled by the chestnut mare
of the Presidents daughter, Mrs
John Boettiger.
Mr.. and Mrs. Boettiger joined In
the ride, Anna seated with her father
on the front seat.
The President came here from the
initiation ceremony Of the Harvard
Fly Club. where he visited last night
with friends of school days. He went
to Harvard to see his third son
Franklin, jr., initiated into the club
Mr.. Roosevelt expects to remain al
home until tomorrow night.
