LOS ANGELES, Aug The de- fense in the bribery trial of Darrow obstructed the rebutaI case of prose cution today. first by a lengthy con tinuation of the cross examination be- gun yesterday of o. H. F Mayer, the mysterious stranger" and later by blocking an attempt to impeach the testimony Of Joe Hartman. one of the most important defense witnesses. In the latter effort the entire afternoon was consumed by arguments concern ing the admissibilty of the testimony by Edward Adams Cantreli a socialist lecturer which purpOrted to show that Hartman had knowledge of the plot to blow up the Los Angeles Times building prior to it's consummation.
 Judge Hutton's first ruling was faV- Orable 10 the prosecution.
 Then the defense raised the legal point that the testimony desired. tend
 ed to impeach Hartman on an irrele want matter. The objection sustained for that reason.
 Fredericks jumped to his feet with E
 declaration that the point was not arg
 ued by him because the prosecution
 assumed that the court would rule as it first indicated. On the plea of sur prise, Ford was allowed to argue and the jury which had retired during the first argument was again sent from the court room.
 After answering the arguments by Attorney Appel and Darrow. Judge Hutton vacated the ruling in favor oi l the defense and took the question un- 1 der advisement until tomorrow morn l ing at ten o'clock. The question put tC 1 CantrelI.

Mexican OH Export Tax.

American capitalists interested in developing oil properties in Mexico are much alarmed over the report, which seems to be based upon reliable authority, that Mex leo is about to levy an export tax on petroleum and it's products, says the San Francisco Chronicle. As large quantity of Mexican oil finds a market in the United States and Central America, the rumor is disquieting. The reason for the proposed tax is said to be the necessity of providing for the pay ment of the large war debt piled up by the Mexican Government. The report is to the effect that bill will be introduced in the Mexi- can congress providing for an ex- port tax on petroleum ranging from 15 to 25c per barrel.
 The California Oil World of Bakersfield is authority for the statement that not barrel of com mercial oil is produced in Mexico by Mexican company, and that there is only one British company, namely: The Mexican Eagle Pe- troleum Co.,, of London, Eng. All other oil producing companies are American, which include Mexican Petroleum Co.,, East Coast Co.,, Southern Pacific, Waters Pierce, Mexican Fuel, and Lepacy Bros.

The Washington Avenue church
of this city is MAXIM splendid. sub
stantial advancement under the
leadership of Pastor B. D. Weeks.
He has been here a little more than.
one year and has received 1877 adj
ditions, fifty-six of whom were re-
ceived by baptism. The church
has made several improvements on
the building, among which was the
seating of the edifice with splendid
pews. Brother Weeks has crowd
ed house every Sunday night, and
there is hardly a Sunday night that
he does not baptize. The church
is very appreciative of its pastor.
He is stronger with the church than
he has ever been. We regard him
as one of the strongest young men
in the West, and has done some OF
the most substantial work that has
ever been done in this church. His
young people presented HIM a fine
gold watch as a New Years gift
We hope he will stay here Ions
time, and do the best work of his
in building up a great peoples
church. : Baptist 0klahoman

Fresh Vegetables From Texas.

Ebert Yates, who left here a
months ago and located at Harlin-
gen, Texas, sent this Office a fine
basket of vegetables last week,
which he had grown on land he
bought in that country, The vege-
tables, which were exceptionally
fine, consisted ola huge cabbage,
two turnips as large as pint cups,
two large radishes, two carrots,
bunch of lettuce. several fine Irish
potatoes and the-lot topped off with
a bunch of young cotton. The po-
tatoes were from his 6 acre patch
which he has refused an offer of
100000 in the field, that is the
buyer to take potatoes in the
ground. 1t seems that while we
have been housed up in this coun-
try for the past a months with the
thermometer rs degrees below zero
a great deal of the time, Ebert has
been making money and it is doubt
full that he has ever thought of the
coal trust or his overcoat To those
of US who have never been in the
south it seems hardly creditable
that all kinds of vegetation could
continue to grow and thrive in jan
uary and February. Our friend,
j, F Rodgers, who has resided in
that part of Texas several years is
now vindicated. Since receiving
this fine basket of real product we
shall not doubt any of his stories
of the wonderful production of the
southern point Of Texas The vege-
tables were viewed and admired by
quite a number Of people. The
Democrat appreciates the vegeta-
bles and is pleased to know that Ell
bert is prospering in his new
home.
