PLUMMER ON TRIAL
ForAIIeged Acceptanceof 1873
Brides from RumSeIIers.
His Accuser, Frank D. Ford, on the
Stand Nearly All Day.
Tells How He and Other Dealers Paid
for Protection.

Portland. Me-, June 5.-The testimony
presented by the prosecution, today, at
the preliminary hearing in the case of
Chas. A. Plummer, one of Sheriff
Pearson's liquor deputies, charged with
accepting money for the protection of
liquor dealers, was even more sensa-
tional than had been expected. The
star witness of the day was Frank d.
Ford. who furnished the county attor-
ney with evidence which led to Plum
mer's arrest. He occupied the stand
nearly the entire day and told in detail
of payments made to the deputy for
the protection of his place, and as
treasurer of a pool of liquor dealers for
the protection of their saloons. AS
result of these payments, he said, he
was permitted to sell liquor without be-
ing molested by the deputies.
A sensational incident occurred when
Plummer's counsel after Michael j.
of a portion of Ford's testimony, re-
quested the court to issue a bench
warrant for Callahan's arrest on a
charge of perjury, as his testimony,
today, was altogether at variance with
that given before the superior court
grand jury. The request was denied.
John j. Feeney and VIM. H. Farrell
corr oborated that portion of Ford's
testimony which related to monthly
payments by them for the protection of
their saloons, saying that the money
was paid Ford with the understanding
that it would go to fix things with
Deputies Plummer, Leach and Stack
pole"
When court adjourned, tonight, the
prosecution had several more witnesses
to put on the stand. and they will be
called when the hearing is resumed,
tomorrow morning.

The circulars relating to the traffic

a great deal of satisfaction, for they
very clearly indicate the removal of

FIRING A BATTERY OF BIG GUNS AT FORT SCREVEN.

place tomorrow. If it is found that
both the practice and the inspection can
be held on the same day, the gunnery
will be concluded.
Effective work was done with the
twelveinch guns. A fair percentage of
them proved to be hits. The first shot
fired would have struck a vessel, had
the target been one, amidships, and
would have wrought great damage.
The shot was fired at the target, which
was at a distance of about 1000 yards,
and it cut the rope on which the large
sail, marking the center of the target,
was strung. This made it necessary
for the launch towing the target to do
some maneuvering to splice the rope.
This was accomplished, however, and
the practice proceeded.
Two of the big guns were in action,
being fired alternately. AS they were
made ready to be fired, they We're sent
up to the parapet and over this they
hurled their 1,O00-pound projectiles.
The shot delivered, they sank again
behind the protecting rampant.
The same crews worked the guns
throughout the firing. They showed
the results of the careful training that
they have received. No spectators,
save those connected with the SER
vice. are permitted to witness the
practice. Were this not the case,
there would doubtless be a crowd at
hand whenever the guns are fired. The
regulations, however, forbid admission
of others than those in the service to
the vicinity of the guns. This is a
provision that seeks to preserve Sc
crecy regarding the strength of the
armament of a fertilization.

GERMANIA'S NEW BUILDING.
Time for Material VIII he Afforded
in Making the Contract.

in Making the Contract
President Henry Blum Of the Ger
mania Bank inclines to the belief that
work on the new bank building to be
erected at the southwest corner of Con-
gress and Bull streets can be finished
by Oct. l, 1903, if it is started imme-
diately after Jan. l. The contract for
the work will be let well in advance
of Jan. 1 in order that there will be
no reason for delay. The principal
trouble in fastening building work,
Capt. Blum said. is securing material.
By awarding the contract some time
in advance, opportunity will be given
the successful bidder to place his or
der for his material and insure its de-
livery when it is needed.
Designs for the building, Capt. Blum
said, will be presented during July by
the architects who are drawing them.
The board of directors will soon de-
eide which design is best suited TO
the banks needs, and then there will
be an advertisement for bids. The
award of the contract will follow, and
there will be no reason why the con-
tractor securing it cannot have every
thing in readiness to begin work on
Jan. ] and push it to completion by
Oct. 1.
The lease of Mr.. ]. r. Einstein upon
one of the stores on the site of the
prospective bank will expire on Nov.
l. That of Livingston and Israel will
expire on Jan. l. The drug firm will
removeits business to the store now
occupied by Mr.. w. E. Wimpy on
Broughton street, west. Livingston &
Israel have rented that store and the
adjoining one occupied by the Hub
Clothing Company, from Mr.. John
Lyons. The Hub Clothing Company
will continue the occupancy of its
building sub-letting it from Living
ston and Israel. The lease of the drug
firm will be effective Nov. 1, and the
Broughton street store may be occu-
pied then, the firm conducting drug
establishments there and at its pres
ent loca ton Mr.. J. PinkusTohn will |
probably remove his cigar business to |

In Less Than Four Days.

Promptness in all things is a COM
mendable trait. In life insurance pay
ments, whether the premiums paid by
the insured or the claim paid by the
company. promptness is necessity.
Here now is an evidence of the prompt
ness. in the payment of a death claim
which is really remarkable-less than
four days from the date when com
pleted proofs were mailed:
Savannah. Ga, June 25, 1902.
Messrs. Harry & Apple, Managers
the Massachusetts Mutual Life In
surance Company, City.
Gentlemen: Please accept my thanks
for the prompt payment of the $4,000
policy in your company on the life of
my deceased husband, Mr.. George F.
Wagner. 1t has been less than four
days since the proof papers were COM
pleted. Yours truly,
(signed) EMMA NJ. WAGNER.
Just as fast as the mail could take the
letter and bring back the money.
A few words more: This policy was
issued in 1875 years ago. The net
cost, deducting the annual dividend
declared, from the annual premiums,
has been less than two-fifths of what
was paid the beneficiary. Think of
the comfort and satisfaction this has
been during all these years. Mr.. Wag
ner used to say that the premiums he
paid were like putting money in bank.
No bank could give such a return as
this policy has-protection for twenty
five years and then return three-fifths
more than was paid in. This is an
other argument for those who are I'M
insured. Investigate the plans and
methods of The Massachusetts. There
is no better company. Full informa-
ton, specimen policy and interesting
literature sent on request. Write at
