GAS TAX PAYS. D. c.
S66,612 IN MONTH
June Figures Show Consump-
ton of 3,33O,617 Gallons.
Estimates Too High.

Washington motorists paid the Dis
trict $66.612.34 in gasoline tax dur
ing June, the first complete month of
operation Of the law, it was announced
at the District Building today
This meant a total consumption of
3,330.617 gallons of the precious fluid
that makes the wheels go around.
Returns for year based on June's
collection would produce only about
$S00,OO0. whereas it was estima ted
when the law was enacted that it
would bring in at least 100000 an
nually.
Officials say, however, it is too
early to make predictions as to what
the years gas tax collection will be.
This money is to be used Immediately
as it is received for the paving of
certain streets specified in the District
appropriation act.
The amount Of paving which Con-
gress authorized to be done this fiscal
year out of gas tax collections aggre-
gates $925,000. Should collections
the paving items would have to be
deferred.
The first proceeds of the gas tax
face on the Pennsylvania Avenue
bridge southeast, and to pave a sec
tion of Georgia avenue from Military
road to Fern street.
The tax of cents a gallon is paid
by the motorist to the service sta
ton, which in turn pays it to the
wholesale gasoline companies. These
large concerns make payments to the
collector Of taxes

DEPUTY MARSHAL
AS BA|L|FF UPHELD
Justice Meehan Settles Issue
Raised by Reciassification
Pay Scale.

A deputy marshal is deputy
marshal even when designated by his
chief to act as bailiff to preserve order
in court and does not lose his right
to serve legal papers, even If he did
lose his bonus through failure of ex-
ecutive action on an appropriation
deficiency bill which passed both
houses of Congress, but which did not
receive the required signature Of the
presiding officers before the death of
Congress.
Justice Charles w. Meehan in
Municipal Court so decided TODAY when
he reversed his decision of Saturday. in
which he declared that if through re-
ciasslncation deputy marshals were
changed In designation to bailiffs they
coulo not serve papers legally. The
PONY was raised by Attorney E. NJ
hewlett, who represented a tenant sued
by his landlord on whom service of
hotice or trial had been made by one
or the deputies who had suffered a re-
ouctlon of pay since July l.
me court gave Attorney A. w.
SS1 Seott until today to show that the
oallltfs' were empowered to serve
papers.
Marshal Explains Law.
hi. ch;ae hdISnai snyder and
ms MS chlef deputy, Stephen B. CaIIa-
nan, appeared today before Judge
Meehan and pointed out.that the oath
or ONCE taken by all the assistants
70 the marshal is that of deputy
marshai' and that the law specifi-
odn odiy authorizes those designated
deputy marshals" to act as "baiIiffs',
IN court The appropriation act reads
toF pay OF office deputies acting as
palms. Judge Meehan adopted the
we" OF the marshal and denied
lne point raised by counsel for the
mons to be good.
Marshal Snyder seems satisfied the
money will be appropriated by Con-
gress and made retroactive SO that

DALLAS, Tex, July 2S.-Revised
figures from the Saturday Democratic
primary early today from 231 of the
cJ2 counties put Lynch Davidson of
Houston in second place over Mrs.
Miriam Ferguson in the race over
gubernatorial nomination. Davidson
had G5,232 votes and Mrs. Ferguson,
e4.2',S
The close race between Davidson
and Mrs Ferguson for second posi-
tion and d place on the run-off pri-
mary ballot with Judge Felix Robert
son of Dallas, the high candidate in
Saturdays primary, has oversbadowed
the interest in the ku kluX klan is
sue.
Candidate for Husband.
Robertson was the Klan's candidate
and Mrs. Ferguson and Davidson were
anti-klan. Mrs. Ferguson was a
candidate because her husband, James
T.. Ferguson, former governor, but
impcached, was unable to get his
name on the ballot under the judg-
ment of the court of impeachment.
One of her pleas for support was that
she sought to vindicate the name of
her husband and family and that her
nomination and election would bring
this about. Mr.. Ferguson conducted
her campaign, made virtually all the
speeches fer her and she said she
would be guided by his advice and
Judgment if she should become gov
Rrnor.
At one time last night Mrs. Fer
guson had a lead of about 5000 votes
sover Davidson, but that was for a
dew minutes only.
Election bureau tabulators eSt-
smated today that possibly 100000 to
i.175,ooo ballots yet were to be re-
ported Judging from the returns SO
rar received Davidson's strength SEEM
ed to be in the cities and Mrs. Fer
.suson's in the rural districts. The
unreported vote was in both places.
Recount May Be Needed.
The race was close and had been
5or so many hours that predictions
were made today that an official
count and possibly a recount would
be necessary to actually determine
whether Mrs. Ferguson or Lynch
Davidson would go into the run-off
primary next month.
T. W. Davidson, lieutenant gov
ernor, who made the race with the
Endorsement of the Texas Farm
Union, ran fourth.
The seventeen Democratic Texas
congressman apparently all were re-
nominated. the scattering returns
early today indicated. In the eight
districts where the incumbents had
opposition, the present congressman
were leading.
