District Attorney 8. c. Huber. when
shown the clipping from the Sail
Francisco paper
Attorney Huber declares he mas hac
absolutely no information from the
mainland to the effect that Nj
Rodiek, or any other resident or for
mer resident Of Honolulu, has beer'
indicted in connection with the Hindu
plot

Ian Is involved in any testimony
We have obtained, says Mr.. Huber.
The matter we had under investiga
ton here pertained to matters in In
dia, but which were Matched up m the
United States.
Our evidence involved no one in
the territory. The information we
received was from people residing la
the territory, but who had secured
their information ON the mainland.
1t involved no local activities, and the
information did. not come from PEI
sons | would class as prominent. All
l can say IL that have received abso-
lutely no information"
Attorney Huber scouts the report
that Rodiek was summoned to the
mainland by the U. s. on the ground
that his office has heard nothing con.
corning 1t.
If he had been sent for" he says,
the marshal undoubtedly would have
been informed to that effect"
Marshal ]. j. Smiddy this morning
declined to talk on the matter. lie
said he was not in position TO make
any statement.
Attorney Huber has already made
public the fact that, prior to the re.
turn OF the indictments in San Fran.
cisco, he furnished the San Francisco
district attorney with considerable
information regarding the movements
Of Hindus.
Over the telephone this morning
J. F. C. Hagens, vice president and
auditor of II. Hackfeld & Co., Ltd,
and president Of the Chamber
Of Commerce of Honolulu, said,
when informed of tine information
contained in the San Francisco news
paper, that he did not think there
was any other 'Rodiek, although his
attention was called to the fact that
the name in the San francisco paper
was "Roediek."
II know nothing about it," said Mr..
Hagens, "but l do not believe that
Mr. Rodiek had anything to do with
the alleged plot. also believe that
the report that Mr.. Rodiek was sum.
moned to San Francisco is untrue"
Upon reliable authority today 1t
was learned that Schroeder is a re-
servist Of the German army. When
Consul Rodiek gave up that office in
February, Schroeder, who was his
private secretary, became consul for
q time. later being succeeded by Sc
nor Luis Gil, who now has charge Of
the German consulate.
Accusation Set Forth
The conspiracy, according to the
indictment, started in San Francisco
on Aug. 1, 1914, when the co-conspira-

COUNTY CONSIDERS
BUYING GRAVEL BED
Plan to Sell Sucker Flat Land at Nom
inal Figure Laid Before Board To-
day-Canal Board Consulted.

The question of buying forty acre
gravel bed in the Sucker Flat coun-
try from A. L. Swim and Robert Rog-
erson at $40 an acre, in order to use
the gravel on roads, was considered
by the board of county commissioners
this morning and action deferred until
it could be determined whether the
Twin Falls Canal company would per-
NIT the transferring OF the water right
going with the land.
The gravel is said to be very fine
for use on roads. Messrs. Swim and
Rogerson said that If they could trans
fer the water right they would sell
for the figure named, which they con-
sidered merely nominal. Secretary w.
o. Taylor and Manager ]. G.. Porter
field of the canal company were pres
ent and agreed to lay the matter be-
for the canal board at its meeting next
week, after which, if things work out
as hoped for some definite action may
be taken.

CLERKS UNION REQUESTS NINE
HOURS IN WEEK AND TWELVE
ON SATURDAY.
ALSO WANT ALL DAY ON THE
HOLIDAYS
Merchants Will. Grant Nine Hours
During Week Bat Fail to Agree on
Closing Time on the Saturdays.

The question of how long the stores
should be kept open through the week
and especially on Saturday evening
is live subject in this city at this
time. The clerks have tentatively
formed a union by the election Of
Ralph Pink, president and F. l.. Wood
ruff, vice president. A charter has
not yet been secured but has been ap-
piled for and on it's arrival the organ
ization will be permanently formed.
The new organization at its meet
ing Tuesday evening endorsed the
plan adopted by some of the merch-
ants, of opening at 8 o'clock and clos
ing at 6 O'Clock on week days, and
asked that the stores close at 9 o'clock
Saturday evenings. They also asked
that the clerks be given all day off on
the following six holidays: New
Years day, Memorial day, Independ-
ence day, Labor day, Thanksgiving
and Christmas.
When a committee of the clerks pre-
sented the above request to the mer-
chants Wednesday morning, meeting
of the employers was called at the
rooms of the Twin Falls commercial
club and was largely attended. On
the matter of opening at o'clock and
closing at o'clock during the week
there was substantial unanimity, but
on the question of Saturday closing
there was sharp division of opinion
motion to the effect that it was
the sense of the meeting that the
stores close at o'clock Saturday
nights, carried by two majority but
did not bind anybody. Propositions
that the meeting vote to favor clos
ing at $50 and at 10 o'clock, respec-
lively, were discussed without results
SO that no definite agreement was
reached and the merchants are still
considering the matter. The othel
requests was not definitely acted on.

A preparedness measure was one or
the last acts passed by the retiring
city council in special session Tues-
day. when it granted the request of
Street Commissioner w. F. Porter that
two lights be placed under the Sho-
shone street bridge lest some bomb
manipulation destroy the structure.
The council met for the purpose of
clearing up it's old business so that
when the new administrators of munl-
cipal affairs should arrive next Mon
.slav night the reins of government
could be turned over promptly, and
gracefully.
Having read and approved the min
utes and canvassed the vote of the
city election, the council took up the
rules for watering vacant lots that
mad been drafted by Street Commits
sioner Porter but decided to pass
them over to the next council. The
proposition to turn the light on under
the bridge went through at once.
Street Commissioner Porter recon-
mended that the salary of Dumpmas-
ter James Burns be raised ten dollars
a month. MIR. Burns has worked si1
years for the city and was included
among those who received an increase
recently. The raise was granted. The
annual report of the clerk and treas
urer were read and approved.

Yours very cordially,
ARTHUR L. SWIM

If a majority of the land owners on
the Twin Falls tract realized the con-
dition of certain portions of our canals
and laterals they would refuse to con-
tinue taking gamblers chances and
would insist upon vigorous corrective
measures no matter what the cost. The
big interests at stake do not just
ify taking any chances of breakage in
the canals or of shortage of the water
supply.
The fair market value of the agricul-
tural land under the Twin Falls tract
is approximately 100000, 100000. Under
fairly favorable conditions the value
of the product for 1917 should ap-
proach $4,000, 100000. A break in the
main canal which would shut off the
water supply for a week would doubt
less cut hundreds of thousands of dol
lars out of the value of this years
crop. 1t is conceivable that such a
break might shut off the water supply
for several weeks, in which event the
losses could run to several millions.
A brief analysis of the report by
Mr.. Porterfield, the manager of the
Canal company, discloses the follow
ing interesting facts regarding losses
in the canal system:
Dry Creek reservoir-1O0 second
feet.
Highline canal in Rock Creek neigh
borhood-150 second feet.
Main canal a few miles below Mil
ner-a maximum of $50 second feet
Total-700 second feet, full water
right for $4,000 acres. These are only
three Of the leaks. There are hund-
reds of others but these are the larg-
est.
The original water right of the Twir
Falls tract consists of 5000 second fee
and the main canal was built with {
normal capacity of this amount o.

SELECT|VE DRAFT ON
IN OW0SSO, MICHIGAN
Question Asked Applicant for Job is
Whether He Can Throw Straight or
Not.
UNITED Press)

OWOSSO. Mich, May 3.-When a
farm hand looks for job in the Maple
River district, south of here, the farm
er doesn't ask him: Can you run a
gasoline engine?" He says: "Can you
run the bases?" 1t isn't: "Can you
drive tractor" but: "Can you drive
in a run?''
And Just now it isn't important
whether a farm hand can pitch hay
it's question of whether he can pitch
ball. That's because Maple River,
champions of the Alfalfa league, are
shy pitcher.
Charley Vandewater, former Michi-
gan Aggie star. has gone away and
the whole community, from the Shia-
wassee town dam to Bill Cline's place
in Bennington, is looking for a worthy
successor to him.
The base ball fever here is a re-
suit of "back-to-the-farm" campaign
the farmers wanted to provide amuse-
ment to keep their sons and hired help
on the farms. Now they're SO inter
ested in the games, themselves, thai
farming is of secondary Importance

WOMEN MOVE TO HAVE
A SPOTLESS COUNTY
Dead Trash and Live Kittens and
Puppies Left On or Near Roads OBJ
jected tO-Clean-up May 4 and 8.

The idea that in the absence of An
goras, denizens of rural communities
should be made the "goats," by those
having surplus tin cans and other rub
bish and trash, does not appeal to the
members of the Federation of Wom-
ems clubs, which at a meeting this
week, called for the purpose of per-
fecting plans for a general cleanup
decided to request the mayor of Twin
Falls that it would be well to call
attention of the urban citizenry to the
location of the dumping ground.
1t seems that certain residents have
not yet realized the fact that the city
has taken steps to provide for the
regular cleaning of cans and the like
where left at a spot that the city
dumpmaster can get them. AS re-
suit of this failure, the sides of the
roads in some spots are being grad
ually Uttered with all kinds of stuff
that prove neither ornamental nor use
full, and in many cases are injurious
to auto tires.
Another complaint which is widely
voiced from the country is against the
growing and inhumane practice oi
leaving live kittens and puppies by
the road side near some farm house
Where the little animals are not starv
ed to death before arriving at an,
home, as they frequently are, the per
son on which they are imposed Il
compelled to keep them, instead OF 1t:
being done by persons leaving them
Prosecutions for cruelty to animals
are threatened on this score.
Friday and Saturday of this weel
are selected as the days on which th'
cleaning up in the country shoul'
take place.
