RODlEK ON STAND
N INDIA CASE
CLAIMS IGNORANCE

fA..ooIafad Press b. .. 3. Naval WirsIess.l Z
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. u. -
Georg Rodiek, former German consul
in Honolulu, was the chief witness
for the prosecution yesterday in the
trial of the India revolution conspl-
racy case. His testimony dealt chiefly
with the visit Of the Maverick to H1lo'
Hawaii.
Before putting Rodiek on the wit
ness stand yesterday afternoon Unit
ed States Attorney Preston said Ro-
dick had asked permission to make
a statement to the Jury, and that this
request had been granted by the pro-
secution on condition that Rodiek
would give testimony In the case. This
he had agreed to do and the state
ment which he desired presented to
the Jury would be made In the course
of his testimony.
Rodiek Testifies.
After being sworn Rodiek was seat.
ed and, in answer to questions, told
of the visit Of the Maverick to Hilo,
where # was expected that she would
be provisioned for the trip to john
ston Island. At that point, witness
said, it was expected that the MaVer-
lex would meet the Annie Larsen and
take on a cargo Of arms and ammuni-
ton from her, thence proceeding on
to Batavia. At that time, witness
declared, he had no knowledge that
the Maverick was employed In the
business of the alleged conspiracy to
foment revolution In India.
Others Involved
Witness testified that Heinrich Elbo,
captain of the German ship Holsatia,
and Edwin Deinat, captain Of the Ger.
man ship o. J. D. Ahlers, both Of which
vessels were then interned in Homo
lulu, acted to prevent the provision
ing of the Maverick outside the three
mile limit. He added that he believed
that neither EIbo nor Deinat, both Of
whom are defendants in the conspi-
racy case, were cognizant of the fact
that there was a conspiracy ON foot
Secret Agent
Asked as to where the money for
the provisioning Of the Maverick came
from, witness testified that It e.. was
transmitted to Honolulu by German
secret agent Number II" who trans
ferred the money from the German
consulate at San Francisco to Homo

Some time ago We were riding through
prosperous agricultural section with q
farmer. Across the bills We could see
the outlines OF what appeared to be an
attractive farmstead. We remarked as
much. After thinking Q moment, the
farmer replied: "That farm is like good
many other things In the world. 1t
looks good from afar but up close 1t
looks far from good" It only took Q
glance from the road past the dooryard
and the barn lots to show that the farm
did indeed look "far from good"

enough, to quote the farmer, to "make

would have been good Investment for
the owner to o-hsve "slioked up Q bit. ~

Breed fiorses for Europe.

A horse breeder for over 40 years, and
president of New York state draft horses
breeders club, E. s. Akin, says there
will be big market for draft horses In
Europe after the war. To students OF
the college of agriculture at the Syracuse
university he said: American farmers
could sell more horses and get 30 per.
cent more for them than at any time IN
80 years, when Europe lays down the
sword and takes up the plow. europe
must look to the United States and Rus.
sia for utility horses before agricultural
development can be continued. Russian
horses are too small for farm and heavy
draft work. The United States is the
only country that can furnish utility
horses"
Unfortunately, 90 percent OF the
American farmers are incompetent to
Judge high.bred draft horses. They
must wake up to the opportunity. Bel.
gium and France supplied nearly all the
good breeding stock to this country.
England sent few horses. When the
war is over, Belgium will need zoo, 900
horses before farm work can be started.
France and England have 80 few horses
that the price Of those that are left has
advanced 30 percent. Even 10 America,
horses are worth 80 percent moro than
two years ago.
In Belgium and France, dairy cattle
are doing farm work, while q fatmer is
lucky TO have one horse for working and
breeding purposes. A draft horse 10
worth $500 In Belgium, 5000 10 Germany
and 5000 to $1,000 In England. The
average American farmer keeps too
many horses that are good for nothing,
and pays no attention to bigh class
breeders. It 10 not true that western
farmers are using tractors to such An ex-
tent that horses arc discounted.
The American farmer can sell oil the
horses that be can raise at the best
prices ever paid II he will prepare for
the European market. Belgium will not
be able to send any more horses to this
country for years to come. We must
raise breeders Of the first quality, -
they are what Europe will want.
