The Great Breakwater.
Plymouth harbor is protected by what is
claimed to be the greatest breakwater in
the world. The main part Is 5000 feet
long, with two arms at angles extending a
thousand feet, thus making it nearly q
mile in its entire length. 1t stretches
across the entrance to the bay, two and
a half miles from the city. and receives the
force OF the gales that frequently come up
from the southwest. In the center is a
either extremity a lighthouse sixty eight
feet high. Nearly four and half million
tons of stone We're thrown into the sea as
a foundation for this brealkwater during

which rises from the bottom of the bay
about twelve feet above the surface of
the water. is faced and paved with gran

The city of Plymouth fills several valleys
and covers several hills. There are dozen
little bays and inlets and two rivers-the
lamar, broad and deep, which is occupied
by the government as a naval station and

Plymouth is one OF the most westerly ports
of England. and by catching special train
the mail can be delivered to business

BAR USES PROBE
Mercer County Association Con-

[. o. Thomason.
FINDS HIM PARTLY GUILTY
Used knowledge of an Impending
Prosecution to Secure
Client.

The Mercer county bar has investi-
son, a member. who has been associa-
ted with States Attorney Graham in
the Mckinney case. and ended by
adopting resolutions which practically
found the lawyer guilty of part of the
charges made. The circumstances, as
related by the Aledo Democrat, are as
follows:
One evening about three weeks ago
Mr.. Thomson called on States Attor-
ney Graham for consultation in regard
to the Mckinney case and learned at
that time that information had been
filed against Mr.. Butler. an aged resi-
dent of the town, for alleged abuse of
girl in her teens. Soon afterward
Mr.. Thomson called up l.. Z. Butler
son of the accused man, and invited
him TO the attorneys office. where Mr.
Butler was acquainted for the first time
of the accusation. Butler told the bar
association that Thomson demanded
$500 to fix the case. saying he stood
close to the states attorney. and later
he interviewed the latter, with Butler
as witness. but out of earshot. and
there learned that Mr.. Graham did not
intend to prosecute the case. as he was
of the opinion that nothing could be
proved.
Did Not Tell Facts.
Instead of telling Butler this, the lat
ter states that he was informed the
papers had been made out and the sher
iff was to leave on the following day to
arrest his father. who was out of the
state. and that $500 would fix the case
f it were paid that night So Butler
wrote out a check, which Thomason
cashed the following day. Butler says
he was urged to say nothing to any
body about the matter. However. when
he next met States Attorney Graham,
with whom he had been on good terms,
his GOODNESS was so marked that Mr..
Graham made inquiries and learned of
the circumstances.
Thomson defends himself with the
statement that he accepted the $500 as
