SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 12-
Several revelations as to the connec-
ton between the India conspiracy and
the activities OF the German govern.
ment have come out on the witness
stand here during the Hindu plot
trial, involving Former Foreign Min
lister Zimmerman of Berlin.
John Gregurevich, agent for the de-
partment Of justice. In testimony for
the government yesterday identified a
message from Zimmerman to Wolf
Won Igel, German agent later. arrested
in the United States, advising future
Hindu affairs be handled by a COM
mittee Of Hindus. This committee, ae-
cording to Zimmermann's advice, was
to include Chandra Kanta Chakia-
varty or Chakraberty and Dhirenda
Nath Sarkar, both of whom are de-
PENDANTS in the present trial, and Ha-
ramba Lal Gupta, who figured in the
Chicago cases. The conspirators are
alleged to have held a meeting in San
Francisco on August l, 1914, when 1t
was planned that some should go to
India. Lal Gupta is alleged to have
gone to Japan in 1915 and later to
have been expelled by the Japanese.
Other testimony along the same line
is being introduced.

ROMANOFFS ON

Relatives to ex-Czar; Prln-
cess Tatiana May Be in
Storage, but if She Is She
Keeps it Secret.

Mr.. and Mrs. H. Romanoff are
aboard d Japanese steamer which is in

Princess Tatiana Romanoff, second
daughter of the deposed Gear of Rus
sias, is a passenger she is travelling
with the other Russian and Poland
war refugees in the steerage and is
incognito.
The Romanotf couple are not the eX'
Car and Czarina, but Mrs. Romanoff,
the one who is in Honolulu today, Is
famous Russian prima donna.
1t IS perhaps the presence of their
names in the passenger list which

lutely denied that any knowledge Of
the Cars or his daughters escape
was known in the Orient and consid
cred 1t a joke when asked If she was
aboard 1t took the serious assurance
Of customs and immigration men, pc.
lice and newspapermen to make them
believe the rumor had a semi-official
foundation.
Shortly after the story of the prin-
cess escape was published in all the
coast newspapers and the statement
made that she was to come tn the
United States and work in the inter-
ests Of the Russian Red Cross it be.
came generally sccspeed that the re-
port was canard.

ISOLATED Press despatch line:
The story of the escape of the for.
mer grand duchess through a mock
marriage, which is accredited to Ivan
Narodny, one of the members of the
New York office of the Russian Red
Cross society, now Is regarded by

Miss Fernandez says that about II
O'Clock she saw a man enter the yard,

told him to get out Of the yard.

CHILD IS
BRUTALLY
MURDERED
Japanese Takes Revenge on
Father BY Staying 7-Year-
Old; After Almost 0ecapitat-
ing Him With Cane Knife
MutiIates Body; Now in Jail

Because he wanted revenge on his
camp boss, and thought it easier to
murder the boss 7-year-old child than
to kill the father, Seaian Mazda, a
Japanese laborer, this morning attack
ed the little Japanese boy who was
playing around his kitchen and brutal
ly murdered him, using a two-foot
cane knife. The lads head was near
~ severed, his fingers were chopped
from his hands and his body otherwise
terribly mutilated.
Mazda was arrested at his home,
in a laborers' camp near the Palama
fire station, where the murder took
place He admitted TO the police that
he had killed the boy in order to
avenge himself for alleged wrongs by
the boys father, Tsunoda, the boss. A
large crowd of Japanese had gathered
about Maida's house, while the latter
calmly sat on his lanai, apparently
awaiting the arrival of the police.
After being questioned by the detec'
tives, Mazda was charged with first
degree murder.
According to the police, Mazda ad.
mitted that he had killed the boy be-
cause it was easier to do 50 than
to kill the man. He said the boy
pestered him frequently and that
annoyed him. He declared that early
this morning the lad came into his.
Maida's, kitchen, and that he az.
gravated him. Mazda picked up the
cane knife and killed the boy. with
one blow, nearly decapitating him.1

Description Of Wounds.
The child was horribly INITIATED,
great slashing blows evidently having
been welded upon his slight form.
Not less than six separate wounds
upon him showed how terribly the
heavy cane knife had taken toll upon
its helpless victim. OF half these
blows any one was enough to hare
caused death. r
Three slashes had been made at the
head and three others were upon the
arms. With one blow which had been
driven straight at the back of the
neck just at the. base Of the skull,
the head was virtually amputated,
hanging to the body by only the flesh
of the throat. The spinal cord showed
from the blood covered base of the
wound. (.
Another cash which had penetrated
the lads skull lay just above the left
eye. This was perhaps four inches |
long and had barred flesh and bone
from the eyebrow to the upper part
Of the head. Still another wound |
reaching almost from ear to ear had |
been driven into the brain from the
back of the skull.
The left hand had been severed |
from the arm at the wrist, hanging by
only shred of skin. The forefingeri
Of the right hand was amputated |
