HAVE suspicious
REGARDING THEFT
DETECTIVES ARE WORKING ON
HOEGEE MYSTERY
EmpIoye of Firm Believed to Be
Under susplcion-officials Con-
vinced Thief Is Not an
Outsider

81 am absolutely certain that the
the outside of the store" said Captain
of Detectives Flammer yesterday in
discussing the mysterious disappear
ance of $1700 in cash from the book
keepers office of the William H. Hoe
gee company last Saturday.
Further than that Captain Flammer
declined to discuss the case, except to
say that his men were diligently at
work and that naturally he hoped that
an arrest would be made soon, although
he could not predict that a capture
would occur either very soon or in the
remote future.
Captain Flammer even refused to
couple his assertion that the job was
not done by an outsider with the state
employees, although the inference of his
first remark was perfectly plain.
1t is known, however, that suspicion
is accommodating in one direction and
that evidence of a circumstantial nat
ture is not lacking, although it is not
sufficiently strong to justify an ar
rest.
Now Under Surveillance
1t has been learned from an authentic
source, but one which has no connec-
tion with the police department or the
management of the Hoegee store. that
the detectives are inquiring into the
actions of a certain employe before and
since the robbery.
Regarding one employe there seems
to be a difference of opinion even be-
tween two of the officials of the Hoegee
company as to whether he was in the
store during Saturday, the day of the
robbery, one of the proprietors stating
that the man was on duty that day.
and the other saying he was at home
on account of sickness.
One of the managers expressed him
self as confident that the theft was
committed by some one in the store,
while another made the statement that
no one in the store was suspected OF
the crime.
Window Found Unfastened
A. Hartman, secretary Of the Hoegee
company and son of the president of
the corporation, said yesterday that he
was the first to make the discovery
that the money was missing. The
money, which was in gold and bills
had been drawn from the bank for the
purpose of paying employees for their
weeks services and had been placed
near the cashiers window.
Mr.. Hartman said that when he left
the office a window looking out upon
an areaway was locked, but that after
a brief absence he returned TO dis
cover the loss of the money and to find
that the window was unlocked That
the thief did not leave the room by
means of this window is considered
certain and 1t is taken for granted that
the window was tampered with merely
to create the impression that the rob-
berry was committed by some one en-
tering the window and escaping by the
same route.
Managers OF the store were aVerse to
discussing the affair and referred in
quirers to Captain Flammer, In whose
hands the case had been placed.

RICHMOND, Va, March Thirty
five men representing 100000 CONNER
cial firms and individuals and more
than so per cent of the annual freight
tonnage of the United States are in
session here to formulate plans fo1
bringing about general improvements
in the freight movement conditions.
It is held by these men, who come
from nearly every section of the coun-
try, that the inability of the railroads
to handle freight is paralyzing the
commercial interests of the United
States and it is their purpose, they
declare, to revolutionize the entire
freight situation.
