COURT DIRECTS RELEASE
CAPITAL SUPPLY COMPANY NAY
RETAN DISTILLERY.
Appraisal Of Plant Made and Amount
Of Bond Fixed Accordingly.
Testimony Taken.

Remarking that as this was the first
distillery ever seized in Washington. and
as there had consequently been no in
depreciation of the statue here govern
ing release after seizure. he was in
clined to a liberal construction, Justice
Gould today authorized the Capital Sup
ply Company TO retake possession Of its
distillery at the foot of 18th street south
east on giving bond.
The court appointed John T. Crowley,
Lester ID. Moore. jr., and Joseph r. Cas-
tell as appraisers of the plant, and on
their filing a report valuing the business
at 20. the penalty OF the bond for
release was fixed in that amount.
The only opposition offered by Assist
ant United States Attorney Peelle this
morning was as to the number Of live
stock depending for feed upon the refuse
from the distillery A farmer living near
the District line testified that more than
100 cattle on his farm would suffer IL he
A policeman, who raises hogs on the
side. testified that II he could not obtain
this refuse from the distillery he would
be obliged to dispose OF his stock, as he
could not afford the prevailing price of
$50 per barrel for corn.
While It was suggested that this depri-
walton shown rather affected the pockets
Of the witnesses than the live stock. the
court determined that fair construction
OF the provision would be that injury
would result to the dependent cattle.

AYACHT|NG CRUISE
ON FRANKS PROGRAM
Bridal Tour on the Water Had
Been Planned by Insane
Bridegroom.

A romantic cruise on the broad bosom
Of the Potomac as a part of his honey
moon was rendered impossible when the
police rudely arrested Edward Frank. the
soldier from the Government Hospital for
the Insane who married Miss Virginia
Strouse early Wednesday morning. 1t
had been Franks plan. after enjoying
automobiles and terrestrial sports to the
utmost, to charter a tug or yacht. and
HE his bride toward Old Point Comfort.
These plans he discussed so audibly at
the base ball game that he attracted the
attention Of many earnest rooters, who
were much interested in the young man
who was so SOLICITORS as to the comfort OF
his mate. Whether the captain and the
crew and the owners of the vessel were
to be remunerated by the same kind OF
checks which have enraged numerous
Washington hotel proprietors remained to
be seen.
With Frank carefully guarded at st.
Elizabeth and his wife preparing to be-
gin a suit for an annulment Of the hasty
marriage. curious stories OF his escapade
come to the police from various sources.
By several officers of the Washington
barracks at Fort Myer the soldier was
cordially welcomed when he announced
that he was brother officer on his bridal
tour

Fooled the Army officers.

Conversation at these posts naturally
turned to military matters, and in dis
cussing West Point, aeronautics and
other martial subjects Frank Is said to
have proved himself an adept. With an
orderly who was instructed by the Of
flcera to conduct Frank through the
grounds Of Washington barracks. he con-
versed volubly Of his services in Cuba and
the Philippines. This orderly was for
tunate. for he received a hve-doilar bill
instead of q check when Frank departed.
Rockville. too. suffered from the check
habit Of the soldier. The clerk of the
court, the minister who performed the
marriage ceremony. the hotel proprietor
at Rockville and an old negro who acted
as his guide all bear bitter but substantial
testimony to Franks facility with his
fountain pen. A forty-dollar check was
handed the hotel proprietor. The police
were bombarded with telephone messages
yesterday regarding the checks. but to all
they replied that an insane man could not
be held responsible. Frank, in the mean
time. tells friends he had great time
on his honeymoon. He considers his wife
"a very nice girl and loves her very
much" he says.
