AUTHORITIES BELIEVE
ESCAPED PRISONERS
HAVE BEEN IN SUSSEX

Officials of Southern Delaware are
convinced, from reports they have
been able to gather, throughout Sus-
sex county, that the six desperadoes
who escaped from the eastern peni-
tentiary, in Philadelphia, on July A.
have visited at least three places
Georgetown, Lewes and Laurel-since
Tuesday night of last week.
The descriptions of the six convicts
Thomas Joseph Gillen, James Will
liams alias Howard Marvin Kevin,
Lea Callahan alias James Lee Malone,
James Roland Brown, George Brown
alias Irwin Barber, Lewis Edwards
alias James Edward Sanders alias J..
C. Porter alias Arthur Scientifically
with the men who were seen at Lewes
last Tuesday night and obtained an
automobile and drove through George
town to Laurel. At Lewes. it is stated,
purchases of crackers, some canned
goods and cigarettes were made.
On Wednesday two Of the men were
recognized by Mrs. Hearn, wife Of a
Laurel blacksmith, from descriptions
and photographs that had appeared in
the newspapers. The automobile in
which they were riding was stopped
near her home and one of the men
jumped from the car and snatched
tin sign from the side of building,
and on returning to the car picked up
two bricks and threw them, together
with the sign, into the car. They left
at a lively rate Of speed. They seemed
to be going in a southerly direction as
if vending their way into Maryland.
Sheriff James H. Phillips and State
Detective Ottie Donaway and Deputy
Sheriff Everett S. Lamden have been
furnished complete descriptions Of the
six men by Warden John c. Groome
of the eastern penitentiary, and are
on the lookout for the desperadoes.

GAS TAX FOR
MOTOR CARS

The Nevada state gasoline tax ap-
plies only to vehicles operated over
highways and does not apply to sta
tionary engines. The tax Is paid, but
provision Is made for refund.
The Nevada Highway News publish
ed by the state highway department
furnishes the following definite state
ment concerning these provisions:
Refunds to NOn-users of the Highway
The act makes specific provision
for the refund of the tax to pur-
chasers of gasoline or other volatile
fuels which are used In vehicles, sta
tionary engines, etc. not operating
over the highways. The refund, as
provided In the law, must be claimed
within 80 days from the date Of pur-
panied by original invoice and be
filed in the form of an affidavit with
the secretary of state. In connection
with this section of the law 1t Is the
thought of the Nevada tax commits
sion that no exemption will be per-
mitted under the act but that the
tax will be collected on all gasoline
sold and that these users who come
within the classification providing for
the claiming df refunds will all be
required to claim such refund. This
will also include such governmental
units as may be exempt from the
payment of the tax, such as the state,
counties and municipalities. 1t is
thought that In this manner the en-
forcement of the act can be consid-
erably simplified and held to a mini
mum of erpense. The section relat-
ing to refunds provides as follows:
Vehicles Which Must Pay the Tax
Motor vehicles" shall include all
vehicles, engines or machines, NOV
able or propelled by combustion or
gasoline, distillate or other volatile
and inflammable liquid fuels.
Fuels on Which Tax Is C0llectible
Motor vehicle fuels" shall include
all such fuel oils as gasoline, distil-
late, benzine, naptha, and other vola-
tile and infiamable liquids produced
or compounded for the purpose of
operating or propelling motor vehicles.
except the prduct commonly known
as kerosene oil.
