DRYS' "|NF0RMER"
HELD IN HUACK|NG
+. OF FEDERAL LIQUOR
Calvert County Mans Arrest
Follows Testimony in
Trial of Three.
"KING OF BOOTLEGGERS"
WAS AIDE TO U. S. AGENTS
Utilized U. S. Prohibition Forces
as Instrument of War Against
Competition in Territory.
BY Staff Correspondent of The Star.

BALTIMORE, Md, December o.
Arrested at his home in Calvert County
last night a few hours after he had
been described in Federal Court as
the king of bootleggers Of Calvert
County" and the best informer"
Washington dry agents ever had. Will
liam Plummer was held here today
while Federal authorities announced
they would seek his indictment imme-
diately in connection with the sensa-
tional hijacking near Prince Frederick,
September Is.
Plummer was picked up by Baltimore
agents armed with warrants issued after
three men told Federal Judge w. Calvin
Chestnut the man directed the hijack-
ing of three Government trucks loaded
with liquor. and William I. Blanford,
deputy prohibition administrator for
the District Of Columbia, testified that
it was Plummer who tipped him off to
the large cache of liquor which was
later involved in the hijacking.
"King of BootIeggers."
1.-THE truth is Bill Plummer is the
king of bootleggers of Calvert County" "
Blanford told the court. He doesn't
want any outside competition. When
somebody else enters his territory he
lets us know and we go down and make
a seizure. He's the best informer I've
got"
The three men who said Plummer
was in charge of the hijacking were
Joseph D. McCaffrey, Louis Brown and
Henry G. Carter. They were sentenced
to five, four and three years in the pen
itentiary, respectively. for their part in
the affair, after pleading guilty to
charges of transportation and posses
sion of stolen liquor.
Ex-D. C. Policeman Freed.
A fourth suspect, Edwin A. Mumper,
former Washington policeman, was re-
leased when the charges against him
were nolle pressed.
In sentencing the men. Judge Ches-
nut said he did not believe they knew
they were going to hijack Federal Off
GERS.
THAT would amount to war against
the Government" he stated, land if I
believed these men guilty Of that I
would impose the maximum sentence OF
Is years"
Following the arrest of Plummer.
United States Commissioner j.. Frank
Parran Of Upper Marlboro said ne held
a warrant charging the alleged bootleg
"king' with manufacture and posses
sion. He said the warrant was issued
some time ago and the agents had
been looking for him.
While the Maryland authorities pre-
pared to prosecute Plummer, Federal
prohibition officials said they saw
''nothing to criticise" in the admission
by Blanford that Plummer was at once
"a notorious bootlegger" and one OF
the agents best informers."

CAPPER MISSES GOLF
TWO SUNDAYS IN ROW
Recent Snowy Weather Breaks
Record for IA Years for
Kansas Senator.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
L.. SI . U.S
ing for Senator Capper of Kansas, one
Of the Senate's most diligent golfers.
He said he had missed golf for two
Sundays In a row this month for the
first time since he came to the Senate
in 1919. Every Winter since he has
been here, Capper has played regularly,
missing single Sunday once in q while,
but never two in row.
Both of the last two Sundays, how
ever, the ground has been covered with
snow too deep for even such an en-
thuSiaSt as the Kansas Senator. And
what is more, 1t looks as though he will
miss q third Sunday in q row unless
rain comes quickly to clear away the
snow.

YoU!R CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Barton 0l932 " NEA SERVICE INC. :

Things for mothers to remem- Der:
 Don't take sides with the chil- dren against the teacher. If things | go wrong or you are convinced that John or Mary is not getting a square deal it is best to put all prejudice in your pocket and go out and find what the real trou- | ble is.
 Home work Is less and less popu- | lar, but there are cases when 1t must be done. When John has | home work try to see that he has a quiet-private-place to study. And try to cooperate with him about hours to himself. Children in school all day need time to exercise after sitting in a crowded room. An hours play In the fresh air when weather is good Is necessary to health.
 Get the children to school on time.
 Don't let them go without break fast.
 A warm lunch Is better than a cold one.
 Eight o'clock bed time for six to nine year olds. Nine o'clock for other children up to high school age.
 Early movies or none except on Fridays and Saturdays. Don't Criticize Give each child clean hand kerchief every morning. Twice q day if he has cold. If a child has temperature Ca clinical thermometer is necessity in every home-they are very easy to read) don't let him go to school. Don't criticize the teacher before your boy or girl. ~
 Try to meet the teacher outside of school hours or on a short friendly visit. The principal, too.
 Things for the teacher to re- member: Fifty children have fifty homes. No two will react to school dici. pline alike.
 Children cannot sit absolutely still very long.
 Teachers, like mothers. must pretend not to see everything that goes on.
 A little laugh now and then is like medicine to weary struggling minds.
 If Johns hair is not brushed perhaps there is no hair brush.
 If Suzy cannot learn. perhaps her breakfast was only a piece of bread and her lunch some salted corn meal.
 Keep We'll Yourself
 If Mrs Zobowski comes storm ing to the door, threatening to put ell with you to the principals office. And remember if you can, that her belligerency Is due partly to terror of something she does not understand.
 A little break after each change of subject with windows open, deep breathing exercises, or walk up and down the aisle will fresh- on minds and bodies.
 Keep a little powder in your shoes and wear low heels. They
