\ RULE 70. SECTION 1858 D. c.
CODE.
An affidavit of defense made
on information and belief is not
sufficient unless oil the facts
upon which the belief uUos
formed, and to be relied upon
as a defense, are set forth in
the said affidavit.
June II, 1884.
In the case of Gardiner VS..
Wardman ct al, At Law Number
83982, suit was filed based upon
two promissory notes. The de-
fendant, Wardman, filed a plea
to the declaration and accom-
panied his plea with an affidavit
of defense based entirely upon in
formation and belief.
The plaintiff filed a motion for
judgment under the 73rd rule be-
cause of the insufficiency of said
affidavit and the said motion was
submitted to Mr.. Justice Bailey
for decision.
: Law Rule 73 was made for the
purpose of expediting judgments
in actions of contracts on liqui.
dated claims, and to avoid the
expense and delay of trial where
the defendant has no legal de-
fense to the claim sued upon. The
rule specifically requires that the
defendant in his affidavit of de-
fense shall not only deny the right
of the plaintiff to recover in whole
or in part, but that he state, "in
precise and distinct terms, the
grounds of his defense, which
must be such as would, if true, be
sufficient to defeat plaintiffs
claim, in whole or in part"
The suit in this case is based
upon two promissory notes exc
cuted by the defendants, and the
affidavit of the plaintiff sets
forth, in substance; the execution
of the notes by the defendants;
the passing of the title thereto
to one Luella Cooke, the death of
Luella Cooke and the passing Of
said notes to her estate; the
notes were purchased from the
estate of Luella Cooke by the
plaintiff, befoSe maturity and for
full value, the notes are overdue
and unpaid, and the plaintiff still
owns and holds the same.

The Washington times., 1934-06-12

In the main, the group will seek
constitutional limitations on taxes
in all States, and for this purpose
has a committee Of 800 promi-
nent and we'll informed realtors
probably the largest committee
ever to have been organized for
one purpoSe-to outline the plan
Of attack on encroaching tax
rates.
No Limitations
If taxes were an index to prop
erty value, the realtors would
have no complaint, they admit.
But in many States where there
are no limitations as to the
amoG1t Of taxes that can be as
sessed against real property, it
has come to such a point that
the tax is a liability against the
property and a hindrance to its
sale rather than an indication of
its true value.
Out Of the 1000 bankers who
are in the city at this time for
the sessions of the American In
Stitute Of Banking, will be found
many realtors, many of them
prominent in the profession in
this city.
There will be Horace G. Smithy,
who, while not an active banker
in the Strictest sense of the word,
is nevertheless very much inter-
ested in the business.
Mr.. Smithy, one Of the or
ganizers of the Hamilton National
Bank and one of its present di-
rectors, is virtually certain to look
in on some Of the meetings.
Building-LOan Men
OF course there will be many
building-loan men there. Commo-
dere E. c. Baltz, secretary of Per-
petual, will not fail to attend,
provided he can pursuade himself
to leave his beloved "Fifty-Fifty," !"
the motor yacht which demands
and receives a considerable por-
ton of his time during the sum-
mer season.
But a little thing like business
does not disturb T. F. Schneider,
jr., when he feels the call Of the
water.
This real estate man goes when
he feels like it, because his busi-
ness is so arranged that it needs
little of his time in the summer.
One thing worries him, how
ever. He wants a larger boat
than his 45-footer, and made a
trip to Florida last winter in
quest of one. The boats he found
there, however, were too large so
his search was fruitless. He still
hopes to find the one "just be-
tween" in size, and if the price
suits this clever trader, the boat
will be his, but there is no telling
what will happen to his business.

Gibson Sees Five Clubs in Hot Fight form L. Penna1
BY GEORGE GIBSON,

Manager, PittSburEh Pirates.
Written for the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, April IL
look for a red-hot race in the Ma
tional League this season. 1t
should be as tight as last years.
and the fans are still talking about
that one.
1t sizes up as a five-club affair,
involving Chicago. New York, st.
Louis. Boston and Pittsburgh.
I'm not picking them to finish in
this order II could call them
that easily wouldn't have to work
as base ball manager any longer.
The Giants beat US out for the
pennant and are practically stand
ing pat. I don't blame Bill Terry
for not making any major
changes in his championship team
Of last year.
The big question is, of course,
will the Giants, with practically
no changes, stand up against clubs
that have improved noticeably
over last year?
The Cubs have taken on Chuck
Klein; a player who can hit like
Klein is bound to help any club.
st. Louis has great pitching
staff, a good infield and a hustling
outfield. That team Is certain to
make trouble.
Boston was handicapped last
year by losing the services of a
couple Of good pitchers. Brandt
able only a part of the season,
while Brown was out all year.
With them back for regular duty.
Boston must be figured as a con-
tender, though the injury to Rab-
bit Maranville will hurt the
Braves a lot.
Our club has finished second the
last two years. Last season our
pitchers looked great during the
early part. At mid-season they
slowed up. The Giants moved
ahead Of us and stayed there.
That brief slump on the part of
our pitchers, in my opinion, meant
the difference in winning the pen
nant and taking second place.
Our pitching staff should be
stronger with the acquisition Of
Red Lucas from Cincinnati He's
not only a good pitcher, but q
great pinch hitter as we'll.
If Tommy Thevenow, our second
basernan. hits as phenomenally as
he did last season and First Base
man Gus Suhr plays the ball he is
really capable of playing, I am
satisfied We will be as tough as
any club.
Cincinnati might make some
trouble if the Reds could get some
pitching. The Philadelphia and
Brooklyn clubs hardly figure un-
less their younger players de-
velop in a manner that would be
nothing short of sensational.
We're not worrying about the
livelier ball to be used this sea-
soon. Every batter should benefit
by it.

to dodge a horde of fans who still

regular schedule. Chicago was able to
win only one match from Jack Adams
