paddock" ANSWER
IS FILED BY HILL.
Building Owner Processes Ig-
norance of Alleged Illicit
Business in Garage.

Francis w. Hill, ST., So, who owns
premises at 2100 Fourteenth street, oc-
cupied by Herbert Glassman as a
garage, filed answer in the District
Supreme Court yesterday to the pad
lock" petition filed by United States
Attorney Leo A. Rover and Assistant
United States Attorney Harold w. Or
cult, following an indictment against
Glassman and IL alleged employees for
alleged conspiracy to violate the liquor
laws at this garage and at another con-
Quoted by GlaSSman at 1919 L street.
Through Attorneys Easby-Smith, Pine
81 Hill, the owner tells the court that
he had no knowledge Of the alleged ille-
gal use of the property until he read
in the papers of q seizure of a truck
load of liquor on the premises. He
communicated with the police and with
the United States Attorneys Office and
announced his desire to cancel the
lease, he says. AS soon as the indict-
ment was reported, Mr.. Hill declares,
he began custer proceedings in the
Municipal Court, but before the case
was reached the injunction petition had
been filed.
Hill says If the building be padlocked
for a year he will suffer irreparable
of lifetime, because the taxes and
carrying charges on the property are
so high that he cannot get along with
out the revenue from the building. He
asks that the injunction proceedings be
dismissed as to him.
The owner adds a counter-claim, as
provided by the national prohibition
law, against GlaSsman, asking that a
forfeiture of his lease be declared.

THE GOLDEN HIND
tSt. Paul Dispatch)

wv AAok0VCJl
As q central figure to play upon the universal human
desire for wealth, none more romantic or enticing could
have been found than Sir Francis Drake, whose myth
ical estate in Devonshire, England, is appealing to the
tmaginations and pocketbooks Of thousands in the north
west. Mystery and the aura Of adventure surround the
career, OF the man whose exploits illunine the Elizabeth
IN era Of English history. There is q glamour to his
name 333 years after his death that seems irresistible.
Francis Drake. son of a poor clergyman. sat by the sea
IN Devon and dreamed Of future conquest. AS q youth
he coaxed tinid gold to invest In his dream and when the
first adventure failed and lost all, the magic Of the man
was great enough to bring him more money on the mere
chance OF . return not much less than is now offered
by promoters Of his estate" In the end he made good
and 1t Is estimated that he returned In silver and gold
alone more than four million dollars to his investors, a
~prodigious sum In those days.
In his various voyages he visited both coasts of what
Later was to be the United States. He harried the coast
Of Florida. He landed in Virginia and took home 100
discouraged colonists from Virginia with their potatoes
and tobacco. When he sailed around the world he stopped
ct what Is now San Francisco and named It New Albion
and across the Pacific made port In the Philippine
klanda. Death came to him on shipboard off Porto Belo,
2 city . few miles south Of the Atlantic entrance to the
Pan = canal.
Naturally the spaniards hated and feared him. But
they could not lay hands ON him. His ship, the Golden
H.. eluded them. Knocked them and despoied them.
Those who would now divide his treasure are like those
wfo sought to take the Golden Hind. It Is Z phantom
not made. to be taken. It desp3is others but Il may not
b despo1ed.

LITTLE PIGS.
toledo Blade)

Although city folks may be unaware of 1t, farmers know
that uncouth mother pigs have q needless. If not heart
less, way Of trampling their offspring to death. The little
pig mortality Is interesting in town inasmuch as 1t is
reflected in the price Of pork chops and bacon.
Al inventor who had heard that the world beats a
path to the door of the maker of the best mouse trap,
therefore makes. q better pig pen-a pig apartment house
Il you please. Having partaken of natural nourishment,
little pigs thus housed are attracted by whiffs Of warm air
and into their snug Enthusiastically heated nursery. The
kindergartners are safer and much more comfortable
while parent pigs are left out in the cold.
The inventor, whose contested right to a patent has
just been upheld by the robed judges of a federal court of
appeals IN Iowa. says that the farmer who uses this
patent pen can send sixteen little pigs to market where
there were only six before.
Which is farm relief much more practical than the ex-
port debenturc plan.
