GAS TAX REFUND
UP TO CONGRESS [
Corporation Counsel Gives
Opinion on Ruling by
McCarl.

Action of Congress will be neces-
sary before any Government depart
ment can obtain a refund from the
District government of gasoline tax
money under the ruling of Controller
General McCarl, in the opinion of Cor
poration Counsel Francis II. Stephens
Mr.. Stephens said the gasoline tax
law requires the money to be de-
posted in the United States Treasury
to the credit of the District of Co.
lumbia, and that it can only be taken
out of the Treasury by congressional
appropriation, and then for the specific
purpose of paving roadways.
There is a section of the gasoline
tax law which provides for rebates to
purchasers of gasoline for airplanes.
stationary engines and dyeing and
cleaning establishments. but the cor
poration counsel pointed out that this
clause states specifically that the tax
shall be paid on all gasoline used in
all motor vehicles propelled over the
highways of the District of Columbia.
In the opinion of Mr.. Stephens, no
District official would have the right
to pay out any of the gasoline tax
money, as a refund to the Government
without congressional approval.

Envoy Furnishes Secretary
With First-Hand Data on
Mexican Matters.

Mexico's present troubles. particu-

States over the new land and Oil laws,
were discussed today at conference
between Secretary Kellogg and Am
bassador Sheffield. just home from the
Mexican capital.
The Ambassador brought with him
to the State Department many first
hand details of the religious contro-
verSy in the southern republic and
exact information about the attitude
of the Gales government on this and
other questions now disturbing Mex
leo City officials,
Sees President Coolidge Later.
Nominally in the United States on
vacation. Mr.. Sheffield made his. re-
port to the State Department his first
duty. Later he probably will see
President Coolidge at the Summer
White House at Paul Smiths. n. Y.
The Ambassadors cali here was
made the occasion for a repetition of
the oft stated view of the Washington
Government that the religious issue
in Mexico must be regarded as purely
domestic to that country, calling for
no diplomatic Intervention from
Washington. The only concern here
is that the rights of American citizens
be safeguarded.
1t was apparent that the outstand-
ing diplomatic issue under considera-
! ton at the conference was the land
and oil controversy, for months a
subject of official correspondence. A
reply to the latest American note of
protest Is awaited as the next step
in the exchange. but meantime Mr..
Sheffield was able to give Secretary
kellogg an Intimate picture of the
probabilities OF the situation and of
the general attitude of Gales and his
cabinet toward Washington.
Both Working tremendously.
Department officials insisted that
despite surface indications of dis
agreement, the Ambassador and the
Secretary were working in perfect
harmony toward solution of the Oil
and land problem. Mr.. Sheffield has
indicated that he favors strong
stand for protection of American
rights. but he had no public word of
criticism today for the cOnciliatory
tone which has characterized the
American notes delivered by him. on
orders from Washington, to the Mexi-
can foreign office.
When his attention was called to
renorts that he was preparing to re-
sign. Mr. Sheffield referred to the
statement issued by Mr.. Kellogg
after his recent conference with the
President at Paul Smiths. In that
statement the Secretary declared the
ambassador would keep his post, and
that no change was desired either by
him or the State Department.
"If that statement was made" said
Ambassador Sheffield, lit must be
true"

Foreign Office an emphatic protest
against the proposed use by the Chi

Two American destr@yers will be
sent to the Nicaraguan ports of Blue
fields and Corinto because of the revo-
lutiona1'y outbreak in that country.
The step was described here as a pre-

Dispatch of the two warships was
decided on after the State Department
had received additional reports from
American diplomatic representatives
at Bluefields and at Managua, the
capital.
The substance of the reports was
not disclosed, but presumably they
indicated that existing safeguards for
foreign life and property in Blue
fields and Corinto are inadequate.
The revolutionary movement de-
veloped a week ago. and advices
reaching Washington have led State
Department officials to believe that
trouble Is likely to continue for some
time before the situation clarifies.

other hand, declared several days age
