MAKES REPLY
IN HOEGEE CASE
LAWYER SCORES ENEMIES OF
FOUNDER
Attorney H. C. Dillon Gives Out State
nnent Regarding Position Taken
by Defendants In the
impending Suit

Sensational developments are prom
ised when the suit brought by w. II.
Hoegee against II. A. Hartman Of the
Hoegee company is tried in the su-
perior court.
In answer to the suit, the Hartmans
filed general denial and a statement
alleged to have come from Hoegee In
which Hoegee is said to have confessed
to embezzlement.
Yesterday in reply to the answer, At
torney II. G. Dillon representing Hoe
gee. gave out the following statement
regarding the facts in the case:
ut is not Mr.. Hartman but Mr.. Hoe
gee who has been wronged, slandered
and maligned. He is fighting to up
hold reputation that Is dearer to him
than life. 1t must be very evident to
all his friends that IL he had been
guilty of the charges now made against
him he would never have dared to be-
gin these actions which are intended
to thoroughly ventilate the business of
the VIM. II. Hoegee company, which he
created and made successful, but which
is now dominated by a manager who
has Mr.. Hartman's ear and Is riding it
to its ruin.
Charges Misrepresentation
"Mr. Hartman, in the answer referred
to in the morning papers, accuses Mr..
Hoegee of a misappropriation of the
company's funds. Mr.. Hoegee, in the
two actions which he has begun has, in
one of them, charged Mr.. Hartman
with a misrepresentation of his private
stock worth $4,000 and in the other has
charged him and his co-consplrators,
the new board of directors, with ex-
cluding him from the business for the
last year, depriving him of proper rep
resentation upon the board and taking
away his means of livelihood. IL Mr..
Hoegee has misappropriated the COM
pany's funds how does that excuse Mr..
Hartman for Incorporating Mr..
Hoegee's funds? 1t is evident, there
fore, that the letter, which has been set
up in the defendants answer, Is no de-
fense to the misappropriation Of Mr..
Hoegee's stock.
Attorney Scores Dawson
"It was inserted maliciously for the
purpose of discrediting Mr.. Hoegee and
disgracing him in the eyes of the pub
lie. 1t was given to the newspapers in
order to prejudice Mr.. Hoegees case
and to create an impression that would
deprive him of fair jury trial.
"Mr. Hoegee had simply overdrawn
his account and every cent drawn had
been charged upon the books by the
very man who is now the general man.
ager and was then the bookkeeper of
the company. The business was pros
porous. Mr.. Hoegee made it so. He
had every reason to believe that the
dividends to which he was entitled
would cover every cent he was with
drawing from the business.
"Overdrafts are common with all
business men. Mr.. Douglass Dawson,
the present general manager, knew
the amount of Mr.. Hoegee's overdraft
The books showed it, and Mr. Hartman
let it run on without objection. When
the facts come out it will appear that
Dawson was secretly undermining Mr..
Hoegee and laying trap for his place
and his destruction. He is the nigger
in the woodpile and the evil genius OF
this case"

SALOON KEEPER
DEMANDS LICENSE
POWER OF POLICE COMMITS
SION IS DISPUTED
AtaIus Niemeyer Says He Was Wrong
fully Deprived of His Liquor
Permit and Asks Court to
Rcscind Action

The power of the police commission
to revoke liquor permits at will, where
the owner Of the license has committed
no illegal act, was involved in the
Niemeyer mandamus proceedings in
Judge Bordwelps court yesterday, but
no decision was made, the whole mat
ter being continued until Tuesday
morning. Atalus Niemeyer, formerly
having a Wholesale liquor store at 927
Central avenue and whose permit was
revoked and license refused because
of alleged acts of ''pernicious political
activity" appeared before Judge Bord-
well yesterday with his attorneys and
asked that the police commission
should bring it's records for review by
the superior court and that the city
tax and license collector should be COM
PEELED to issue a license to Mr.. Me
meyer.
Assistant City Attorney L. r. Hewitt
interposed demurrer to the sufflciency
of the proceedings taken by I. B. Dock
Weller counsel for Niemeyer and argu-
ments were made by each side.
According to the petitioner he was
running his liquor store on Central ave-
nue. in an orderly and legal manner
and because he was active in opposing
the granting of a license to John H.
Bestman, who planned to establish a
rival liquor store near the Niemeyer
place of business, the police commits
sion revoked the Niemeyer permit and
the city tax collector refused to accept
the license money for January, when it
was presented by Mr.. Niemeyer.
To further complicate matters there
Is pending criminal action in the police
court against Niemeyer for running his
place after his license had been taken
away. Niemeyer seeks through the
courts to have the acts of the police
commission declared void, as being out
side their powers and that the city tax
collector should be compelled to issue
a license
Los Angeles herald., 1906-02-03
Attorney Hewitt's Opinion

Assistant City Attorney Hewitt main
tanned that the police commission is not
a judicial body and that its acts are
not subject to revision by the courts.
The city claims that the charter does
not provide for q hearing on the pro-
posed acts of the police commissioners
and that their acts are ministerial and,
for what seems to them good cause, a
permit may be revoked.
This view of the case was strenuouSly
opposed by MI. Dockweiler. who said
that the courts could take cognzance of
acts of the police commissioners If they
exceeded their authority and revoked a
permit for reasons outside those pre-
scribed by the statutes and ordinances.
Adjournment was taken until next
week when these matters will be gone
into at length and some mooted ques-
tions decided as to the exact legal
powers of the commission and the
methods if any, in which an appeal
may be taken from its action.

Play Calls for Great Skill

Sudermann's great drama was never
given in Los Angeles before and to
most playgoers it is stranger. 1t has
scant' humor; it rather deals with life
as life is; it might have been writ
with a scalpel, and traced in blood. In
1t one can imagine the playwright TAX
ing the same grim humor and enjoy
ment as does a coroner, when with
skillful knife and sweeping cut, he dis
sects body at an inquest.
But 1t contains a role, that of Marie,
that epitomizes the despair and the
impossible love of whole world. And
Nance ONeil is that role to perfec-
ton. The part calls for the most
skilled dramatic work; for that inten-
sity of repression, that smothering of
emotions in the conventional, that mag
nificent capacity for suffering with u
smile, that make the real tragedies of
life-tragedies in which only souls are
slain, and no drop of gore is spilled.
The one feature of Marie's character
ization Is this very one of repression
and that Is just where one feared for
Miss O'Neil. For the greatest fault
found with her so far has been her
ranting and loss of self control The
more surprising then, it was, that last
night she never for an instant lost her
perfect hold on all her lines, her emo
tions, her gestures and herself. Only
with Mrs. Fiske may one compare her
in these respects-and she has the Won
derfully vibrant voice that Mrs. Fiske
lacks.
Truly, if this young player will give
her whole powers and attention to
roles like this and toss away four
fifths of her repertoire, she will attain
a higher rank than has ever been hers
so far. One cannot but be glad that
she played this tremendous drama here
the while one regrets that it was de-
ferred so late and not given at her in
augural.
In this play too, one can most CRATE
fully give to her entire company most
unstinted praise. This may seem start
ling, after a week of scoring such as
few organizations have ever received
here. But it is only simple justice to
say that, in it, every member seems
picked for his or her especial role.

GREAT FEAT OF RUNNER.
Covered Six Hundred Miles in Five
Days Over the Roughest Kind

The Tarahumares, great tribe of
the northern Sierra Madre, are the
greatest runners on earth, not in re-
gard to speed but in endurance. They
have been known to average ITO miles
per day; there is an absolute record
that is indisputable of Tarahumare
sent with an important government
document that necessitated an imme-
date answer covering the distance
there and back, 600-mile jaunt, in five
days, or an average of 120 miles COW
cred in each "a hours, not counting
the time lost while the answer was
being prepared, and 1t must be re-
membered that this feat was not per-
formed upon fair road or on an un-
dulating plain. 1t was over the wild
est country that the Sierra Madre af
fords; up and down paths that the
very deer would hardly esteem a trial;
the only level ground encountered was
the crossing of deep river. Also, the
journey was done on "pinole," a
species of popcorn ground down and
mixed with water, and the runner car
ried his camp equipment, native
woven white wool blanket.
