several offers to bring theatrical at

at 81 Paso to visit Raymond Teal, his
former partner in an amusement en-
terprise here. Teal, the old-time min

Gently in Chicago against Baron REFS

An Eastern newspaper gives. in

turning Of the indictments:
The existence Of the plo. against

the public something over a month
ago when Gustav H. Jacobsen, a
German-American Of this city who had
been one Of the most active workers

OISSCu uCIO. OCNCldl HCCAO dSO AZ
bert H. Wehde, one o: the conspira.
tors, was arrested in Honolulu and
brought back to Chicago. He was
said to have confessed in San Frn-
cisco. The connection of Baron Won
Reiswitz, who had played a prominent
part socially in German-American cir
cles, was a complete surprise.
The indictments charge the Ger
man consul with paying out 800 to
get the India revolution under way.
The items as related In the indictment
are these: That on May {. 1915, at
Chicago the German consul gave to
William Wins q check for 100000,

engage in the rebellion.
The Boehm indictment charges that
he was engaged BY Jacobsen as drill
master for such of the natives of India
as should be melted to take part in
the rebellion, the transaction taking
place on March l., 1915. The indict-
nent further relates that Boehm and

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June 10
japanese on the mainland predict that
the Takao Ozawa naturalization case
will be enc Of the most important IN
the history of the century. The
case is one which the mainland Japa-
nese believe will settle the question OF
friendship between. Japan and the
United States.
Should Ozawa win his case, II means
the killing Of the California anti-alien
land law, and removes the last bar
rier which has separated the United
States and Japan, according TO prom

ton will hold a meeting in the very
near future and at that time the
Ozawa case will be discussed. Tho
case is now pending in the United
States Supreme Court. DR.. J. Taxa.
NINA and +. Horikoshi, members Of
the association, are opposed to the
natural cation on the grounds that
this is not the time to make a fight

DR.. Iwanaga and Y. Tanaka, the
latter an advisor to the Japanese en-
bassy, are urging the members of the
association to support 0zawa II the
opportunity presents itself. Should
the association vote to support the
Honolulu man, $4,000 will be sub
seribed to the fund.
Japanese in California will hold a
meeting within a short time, and will
then discuss the OZawa case. That
they will subscribe funds to support
the case is certain, as favorable de-
cision would kill the anti-alien land
