of the accused deputy. He was still
on the stand undergoing cross-exam-

the day.
The prosecution called a number of
messenger boys when the hearing was
resumed, today. to testify regarding
the delivery Of messages from Ford
to Plummer and then brought its case
to a close by presenting in evidence
the municipal court records for the
time included in the alleged protracted

When Plummer took the stand he
made complete denial Of the charges,

He explained the loan of $500 he re-
ceived from Ford on a mortgage by
saying that he needed the money bad

against his brother and himself. He
was looking for another man when he
met Ford and as Il result of the con-
versation the loan was negotiated. He
considered it 4 proper business trans
action.
The cross examination progressed
slowly, owing to frequent references
to the records, and little progress had
been made when the court adjourned
until tomorrow.

BLINDING A SHARK.

How = Pearl Diver Escaped . vora-
cious Man Eater.
A successful diver must possess great
courage and nerves Of stee!. Such a
man connected With large wrecking
company was visiting some years ago
the pearl fisheries in the gulf Of Cali
fornia, where sharks abounded. On
one Of his trips in quest Of the pearl
oyster he had narrow escape from q
fearful death.
He had been instructed never to stir
from the bottom until he had looked up
and around. Fortunately he needed the
advice. Having filed his bag he glanced
quickly about and caught sight Of a
huge shovel nosed shark watching him.
In an emergency men think fast. Near
the diver was large rock. He moved
quickly to the other side Of it, hoping
to dodge the ferocious monster but the
naneuver did not work. The shark
watched every movement, changing his
position by slight motion of his pow
erful tail.
Time was precious, and the diver
conceived the idea of binding the
shark by stirring up the mud. Under
cover Of that he might escape. He
worked for dear life and had the water
thick with mud In less than half a min
ute.
Slipping around the rock again, he
rose to the surface, having barely
strength enough to reach the side of
the boat, and was hauled on board just
as the voracious man eater made a
rush for him

One reason for the scarcity of sail.
ors Is that the Navy is now in transl.
ton from the old three-year enlistment
period to the four.year term recently
made law by Congress. This law has
had the effect of keeping out many
men who would otherwise join for
three years, but who hesitate to enlist
for the longer term. 1t also prevents
many veterans from re.enlisting who
have already served their time well

RAINIER BEER BOYCOTT.


From the Labor Clarion.l
The obstinacy OF the Pacific Coast
Beer Bottlers' Protective Association,
composed mainly OF San Francisco bot
Ting firms, compels the San Francisco
Labor Council to more vigorously
prosecute the boycott against John
Rapp & Son, agents for and bottlers of
Rainier beer, The council had hoped
that the persistent agitation carried on
within the last six months in favor Of
bottle beer carrying the union label.
would have sufIlced to convince Messrs.
John Rapp & Son and the other I'M
fair bottling firms, that the people of
San Francisco were opposed to a low
wage standard and long hours for the
men working in bottling shops. How
ever, these same low wages now paid
and long hours worked, evidently give
enough profit to balance or overcome
the union label agitation, and as the
dispute must end some time, from now
on the council is determined to use the
boycott weapon to its fullest extent.
