NO JURORS SELECTED

That tt.c Ninoty-fourth district

Ssession is without legal existence and
that it has no jurisdiction TO try cases
is the claim set up by attorneys for
G. e. Taylor, charged by indictment
with the murder of Mrs. Elizabeth
jackson, when a plea to jurisdiction
was entered Monday morning. Judge
w. W. McCrory overruled the motion
and ordered the case TO trial. Selec-
ton of a jury was begun but up to
noon not a ,single venireman out OF
the 200 summoned for the case had
been accepted.
In addition to pleading that the

ment was returned. during vacation.
This plea also was Overruled.
Order Extended Term.
Taylor was indicted by the Thirty
seventh district court grand jury and
the Thirty-seventh, under the law, ia
supposed TO adjourn on June 30
Judge w. $. Anderson. however, was
engaged in the trial of Felix LatSon
and entered an order extending the
term until The completion of this case.
The Taylor case was transferred TO
the Ninety-fourth on July Z. Defense
attorneys hold that the Thirty seventh
term had been extended for one pur-
pose only. the trial of the Latson case
and that for all other purposes it was
in vacation. For that reason they hold
that the transfer was illegal.

On Board the Harding Funeral
Train. MarshalltOwn. Iowa. Aug. O.
The funeral train of President Hard
ing arrived here at s 80 a. m. today.
Since the train entered Iowa this
morning at Council Bluffs. it has not
passed over a single mile where there
were not people standing TO pay their
respects to the late chief executive.
Thousands have come from all parts
of Iowa and stationed themselves along
the trains route.
Mrs. Harding's conversation is said
to be largely concerning her husband,
the things he had been doing and the
plans he had made for the future.
Courageuosly calm. she had outlined
in her mind everything that is to oc-
cur from the time the funeral train
reaches Washington tomorrow after
noon until the sad services Friday I'M

Marion. She has determined to 20

has been able TO maintain without an
exception since last Thursday even
ing. Whether she can do it or not re-
mains to be seen, but those who know
her best say that she can.
Members OF the party on the train
are continually touched and their eyes
often grew misty today as the train
sped through the broad state of Iowa

TAxESN0T RAISED

Changing the charter as proposed will not
of itself increase taxes, neither will the COM
laissoners of their own voition have the right to
do so, for this reason:
Under the charter, if amended, the rate for
general purposes can in no event exceed S1.25
per $4,000 valuation. This limit has already
been reached; the commissioners may themselves
reduce this rate, but cannot increase it. The re-
manning S1.O0 (the same as now can be used
only for special purposes, meaning interest and
sinking fund on the bonded debt. The bonded
debt cannot be increased except by vote of the
property tax paying voters first hand. Therefore,
unless tax payers vote to increase the bonded
debt, the tax rate for special purposes cannot
be Increased
In other words, it is up to the tax payers
themselves to say whether taxes are made high
er or not If the charter is amended, the effect
will only be to allow tax paying voters to issue
sufficient bonds for public improvements. AS it
now is, they have not the power to do so.

GRAYBURG'S NO. 4
! MERRIWETHER FLOWS
! = $500 BARRELS OIL
Best Well Company Gums
/ in Opinion of Officials;
! Oil Coming From Sand.

Luling, Tex, Aug. 1.-Gauging Of
the No. 4 MerriWether of the Gray
burg Oil Company by J. S. Young,
vice president and manager, showed
Tuesday that the well was making
flush production Of $500 barrels. This
well came in at 4 o'clock Monday aft
ernoon. 1t is producing from a sand
found at POST feet.
1t was reported Tuesday that this
well had blown itself in for an initial
production estimated at 1900 barrels
of oil day but measurements by of
ficials Of the company indicate that
the well was making $500 barrels. 1t
is flowing by heads into steel storage
tanks. Considerable c:ude is being
shipped by the Grayburg Oil Company
from Luling by way of a field line
here which connects with loading
racks on the S. A. & A. p. tracks.
The fact that this well is flowing
by regular heads and has not de-
creased its production in the slightest
since it came in is leading officials Of
the Grayburg Oil Company TO believe
that it is the biggest well they have
brought in in the Iuling field. 1t Is
this company's sixth producer here.
Casing in this well was set at POST
feet and allowed TO stand for two or
three days. Drilling in began on Sun
day and after drilling to a depth OF

cANDELILLA PLANT,
WILD SHRUB, GIVES
TEXAS AN INDUSTRY
Crows on the Border and
Produces a Very Valu-
able Wax.

Alpine, Tex. July 31.-Thc Cam
delilla plant, little known away from
. the Mexican border, and growing
wild. is being made the source OF
large money returns. The business
of extracting wax from the plant is
expanding and now large shipments
are made to England and other for
eign countries.
The plant. shrub about four feet
high, resembles a weed, and has
never been cultivated to any extent.
The stem is round and waxy, and it
is estimated five tons of the plant
grow to an acre. The yield of wax
is from 3 to 8 IL per cent, and sells
for about % cents pound.
Factories for refining the wax have
large watts. of boiling water. The
plant is dumped into the yats, sui
phuric acid is added. and in time
the wax frees itself, rises to the top
of the liquid and is SKINNED off.
Wax ready for market is flinty, and
is broken into small pieces and ship
ped in sacks. 1t is used as base
for varnish. filters, floor polishes,
talking machine records and water
prOofing materials.
When all the wax has been extract
ed the fiber remaining is pitched
from the watts with large forks, al
lowed to dry and then burned as fuel
under the factory boilers.
As the plant grows wild, requiring
no cultivation. the cost of the shrub
is small. Mexican laborers usually
gather it. The factories operate the
year round, and the demand for wax
is said TO be greater titan the sup
ply. Its manufacture is coming to
be one of the recognized border in
dustries.
