(Special to The Herald)
AUSTIN, Aug. 14.—The new four
eent gas tax aw gives the state e
double-barrel check on every ^allon
ol gasoline chipped into the state,
Atty. Gen. Claude Pollard has ex
plained.
Whether i is imported by pipe
line, by truck or by railroad car, the
gasoline shipped into the state i£

way that leaves little loophole for
'.he involuntary or the would-be gas
aootlegger, in the opinion of Gen
jral Pollard.
The railroad which brings gaso
line in is required to report to
Comptroller S. t. Terrell. Mr. Pol
lard pointed out, on the 25th of
each month covering operations for
the previous month. It nust report
the actual import of gasoline, giv
ing the car number, the shipper
conisgnee, destination and origin.
Then a second report is required
from the railroad line actually de
livering the gasoline to the con
signee .stating the number >f gal
lons, and the kinds of gasoline in
addition to similar data furnished
by the originating line.

SOCIETY WOMAN LANDS IN
MOSCOW PENNILESS AFTER
ARREST IN KUTAIS AS SPY
—
MOSCOW. U. S. S. R.. Aug. 14—
(&)—Miss Mary Van Renssaeler
Cogswell. New York society girl, has
arrived here temporal ily penniless
and in borrowed clothing after r
series of adventures in which she
tilted with European officialdom
with true American abandon. With
her was Mrs. Mabel Ingalls, also of
New York, who had shared most oi
the adventures. The climax came
when Miss Cogswell was thrown in
to jail as a spy.
At the start of the recently con
cluded American tour of the soviet
union, Miss Cogswell gamed a small
niche in the hall of fame by being
the first person ever to pass openly
the frontiers of the union without
a Russian visa. She had started
without going through this formal
ity rather than miss the tour and
succeeded in wheedling entry out of
border officials.
Both women left the delegation at
Tiflis. Georgia, and made their way
into Armenia with the intention oi
becoming the first of their sex to
climb Mount Ararat, a 7.J00-foot
peak, that few men have succeeded
in surmounting. They were saved
their strength, however, by the re
fusal of both Turkish and Persian
governments to permit them to try
it.
GIL STUDIES ANNUAL
CONGRESS MESSAGE
MEXICO CITY. Aug. 4.—
President Portes Gil's message to
congress at the opening of the reg
ular session September 1 will be dis
cussed at a cabinet meeting to be
held August 0.
Most of the government depart
ments already have turned in theii
contributions to the message, which
will constitute a complete report or.
the work done iy the nine months
old provisional administration.
They attempted to make their
way through the Ossetian moun
tains. in the main Caucasian range
in southern Russia, on horseback,
but were arrested by the political
police in Kutais for taking photo
graphs without permission. They
were detained two hours until the
police established they were mem
bers of the American party.
Their horses being exhausted aft
er a 50-hour journey, the women
hired a motorbus for $75 to take
them to Vladikavas. To offset this
expense they plc'.ed up passengers
on the way and collected $55 in
fares. Miss Cogswell acted as con
ductor and Mrs. Ingalls as chauf
feur.
The only real tragedy of their
odyssey came when they were Jour
[ neying to Moscow on the regular
railroad train from Vladtkakas
Miss Cogsweli’s passport, jewels and
several hundred dollars in currency
was stolen.
