NIEMEYER VICTIM OF JOKE
Police Commissioner Again Becomes
Humorous and Liquor Dealer Is
in Trouble

A. Niemeyer, one of Dock" Hough-
tons Warmest political friends and one
of the three members of the Sixth
Ward club, is a victim of the police
commissions penchant for joking. He
must answer to u charge of selling
liquor without a license, because his
license became automatically null and
void after January /.
Niemeyer and his ancestors have
conducted winery at 1917 Central ave-
nue. since the early days of Los An
geles, when his place was far out in
the country and surrounded by a large
vineyard that since has been made
into city lots. Several months age
John H. Bestmann appeared before the
police commission and asked for a
wholesale license in the same neighbor-
hood. n vigorous protest went up from
the residents of the locality. who
claimed they could endure Niemeyer S
place but did not want two wineries
in the same neighborhood.
Commissioner Lee C. Gates asked
that Niemeyer be made to appear be-
fore the commission and show cause
why, as the people were objecting TO
Bestmann running a winery, his license
should not be revoked.
In Il spirit of levity the commission
passed Mr.. Gates motion and Niemeyer
appeared before the commission and
gave proof that he had always con-
Quoted his place in an orderly and law
abiding manner. The commission car
ried the joke further, however. and or
dered Niemeyer to find another place
by the first of the year on penalty of
having his license revoked.
Niemeyer failed to find another place
and Tuesday was arrested on a charge
of selling liquor illegally. He declares
politics to be at the bottom of his
trouble and says he will fight the case,
Niemeyer with his attorney, I. B.
Dockweiler, appeared before Judge
Chambers yesterday morning. Me
meyer pleaded not guilty and the case
was set for hearing Friday, January
l2, at 3 o'clock. When arraigned yes
terday Niemeyer, through his attorney,
claimed he had made an application
for license and had rendered the sum
for same. but was refused the license
for some reason. On these grounds
Niemeyer says that he is not guilty
as charged.
Prosecuting Attorney George Beebe
said yesterday that this was the first
time in the history Of Los Angeles that
the question had been raised asking
whether or not the police commission
ers can revoke the license for selling
liquor without a cause.

To FORM LEAGUE
FOR PURE FOODS
LACK OF LAW MAY FORCE
FEDERATION
Physician Proposes Plan to Force
Manufacturers and Retailers to
Discontinue sale Of Adulter.
ated Foods

A method of forcing the manufac-
turers to sell pure foods has been
originated by DR.. Julius Koebig of this
city, and persons to whom the plan has
been submitted say 1t seems to be
feasible and practical.
DR.. Koebig proposes to form a pure
food league. the objects of which will
be to procure efficient protection against
adulterated food and to promote vigor-
Gus agitation toward having pure food
laws passed by the federal government.
Mr.. Koebig said: THE first of these
objects can be attained in an efficient
way without the existence of pure food
laws. The pure food league can obtain
samples of various foods in the open
market and have them analyzed to
determine their purity,
THE result of the tests can then be
set forth i'm a monthly bulletin, giving
the name of the dealer from whom the
sample has been obtained, the brand
under which the sample is known, the
name of the manufacturer and whole
saler who place the goods on the
market and the result of the analysis
without any comments thereon.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-01-11
Bulletins to Give Data

These monthly bulletins should con-
man system. These bulletins should be
effect of any adulteration upon the hu-
man system. These bulletins should be
distributed among the members of the
league and also be given publicity
through the newspapers.
Such action on the part of the pro-
posed league will enable the consumer
to Judge for himself in regard to the
purity of the food he buys and very
soon he will cease to purchase injurious
goods. The honest retailer will soon
learn to use these bulletins as a guide
for the brands of foodstufts he handles,
and the manufacturer will be forced to
prove and guarantee the purity Of his
products in order to keep his trade.
THE second object of the league is
the passage Of federal pure food laws.
For the attainment of each of these
objects there is no more efficient means
than continued agitation.
II believe that if the plans are carried
out they will undoubtedly be a great
factor in securing adequate legislation
in addition to abating the impure food
evil

WHAT ShALLiT PROFIT2

The Rockwell City Advocate, one of
the most ardent and able supporters
of Mr.. Perkins in the late pre- Con
ventiOn fight, now analyses the situa-
ton as follows:
The Advocate feels enough indie
pendence of the party ties to say that
men should exercise independent
judgment, if they feel that nominees
are corrupt or incompetent. If Gov
ernor Cummins, for instance, were
dishonest or incapable the situation
would be different. But no man
brings a charge against his personal
integrity, and all cOncede his ability
TO fill the Office of governor for an
other term as creditably as he has
ever done. Iowa will not be ashamed
of the class of men elected to the gov
ernorship, if all are as able as A. b.
Cummins. Surprising, now, that he
was not the choice of a goodly num-
Der of staunch republicans for the
nomination this year? What gain
would there be to the party or indi-
vidual in putting a democrat in his
place? There wonld be nothing gain
ed as we see it, but there would be
much loss to the party. Loss to the
party this year means disOrgani2atiOn
for 1908, and advantage to the demo-
Gratis which they will be quick to sieze. "

U nited in Marriage at the Home of

On Thursday October 4, 1906 at the
home of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Peter Larson, Mr.. Oscar Ed
luud of Warren, Minnesota, and Miss
Ellen Larson, of Lone Star Guthrie
County, Iowa, were united in marri-
age, the Rev. S. Alexander of the
Presbyterian church officiating.
The ceremony uniting these young
people was unique and interesting and
largely attended, about seventy rela-
tives and friends being present. The
bride was attended by the Misses
Edna Larson and Marie Vickland;
and the groom by Messrs Perry Ed
.lund and Joseph Farley.
The bride wore white Crepe de
Chine gown with bridal veil attach
ed, a wreath of orange blossoms, and
carried a bouquet of white roses. The
brides maids wore pink gowns and
carried bouquets of pink and white
carnations.
After many earnest and sincere
congratulations had been rendered
they repaired to the dining room
where bOunteOus four-course dinner
was served. And the table was nice
ly decorated with pink and white car
nations and smilaX.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edlund were the re-
cipients of many beautiful and useful
presents which will long remind them
of the happy occasion. They are a
worthy young couple, deserving of
much success and happiness. They
will leave in few days for their fut-
ure home at Warren, Minnesota.
