DRUGGIST FREED OF CHARGE
u. S. Commissioner Says Arrest of
Ludwig Holtzhausser, Kensington,
Was Mistake


Ludwig Hotzhausser, druggist Of Ken
sington, who was arrested on April ID,
charged with filling dope" prescriptions
has been exonerated by United States
Commissioner Long of all connection with
the peddlng of drugs. AT that time in
spectors said he had filled several hun
dred prescriptions in violation of the anti
narcotic law, but this was refuted yester-
day.
Commissioner Long said Holtzhausser's
arrest was to be lamented, as 1t was purely
case of misunderstanding. John w.
Glover, who formerly was in charge of the
inspectors who enforced the Harrison anti
narcotic act, had been collecting evidence
to be used against certain uptown physi-
clans who were suspected of writing
dope" prescriptions, the Commissioner
said.
AT the last hearing, when 1 discharged
Mr.. Hotzhausser," said Commissioner
Long, "the druggist said Mr.. Glover had
told him to fill and keep on filling drug
prescriptions until he (Glover) had col
lected this evidence. I called Mr.. Glover
into the hearing room and he reiterated
Mr.. Holtzhausser's statement. There being
no case against the druggist, 1 naturally
discharged him."
Mr.. Holtzhausser. at his drug store,
Tulip and East York streets said he had
lost considerable business as a result of
the arrest. He said that the statement is
sued by the Federal inspectors at the time
OF the arrest, saying that he had filled sew
eral hundred prescriptions, was wrong.
