SCHROEDER IS
OFF ON way TO
FACE US. TRIAL

Unadorned with leis and dressed in
q quiet gray suit, August Schroeder
went aboard the steamer Maui only
five minutes before it sailed at noon
today for San Francisco, where he
is under federal indictment on a
charge Of having violated the neu-
trality OF the United States by con-
spring with 124 others, to foment a
revolution in India.
Il was less than 10 minutes to sail
ing time when Mr.. Schroeder reached
Pier 10 in company with a represen-
tativc of the Honolulu agency Of the
Hartford Insurance Co., which is spon-
sor on q $4,000 bond for his delivery
In San Francisco. He spent perhaps
five minutes bidding goodbye to
few acquaintances who gathered about
him, well separated from the others
at the steamer to bid adieu to friends.
Among the acquaintance who shook
hands with him before he left were
E. G. and Walter Duisenberg, e. F.
Sykler, construction engineer with the
Lord Young Co, and ]. A. Pratt, a
coast representative Of the Bituli-
THO Paving Co. The representative
Of his bondsmen also bid him good
bye, after he had inscribed some men,
oranda In a book, presumed to be a
San Francisco address at which,

engineer Cykler walked through the
crowd Of spectators to near the gang
way with Mr.. Schroeder, where other
acquaintances good-naturedly offered
him their hands. The only representa-
tive Of the Hackfeld company, seen

Drake, an American, who recently en-
.ered the insurance department of that
in which department Schroe-
Ter was employed before he was sus-
pended last week.

Japan's part, and that every one con-

IN
HINDU PLOT IS
RECEIVED HERE

ROBABLY more than q dozen overt
acts are set forth in the indict.
ment returned in San Francisco
against persons charged with compile
ity in a plot to foment a rebellion in
India, those indicted including Georg
Rodiek, former president of the Ha.
waiian Sugar Planters association,
and at one time German consul here,
and Heinrich August Schroeder, who
was secretary to Rodiek.
A copy of the indictment, found and
returned in open court on July Z, was
received yesterday by U. S. Attorney
s. G. Huber The names of Rodiek
and Schroeder are among those of
nearly 100 others, including German
consular agents and residents of the
United States, attorneys and stock
brokers and other Americans, and
Hindus. Two women are named, as
well as a number of Chinese. A sum-
mary of the contents Of the indictment
was published recently in the Star
Bulletin, this paper having received
the first news that the certified in
dictment was on its way to Honolulu.
Except being included in the names
of those against whom true bills were
found, the names of Schroeder and
Rodiek are not mentioned again in
the indictment, which document
charges them as being party to all
acts against the peace and dignity of
the United States.
Several of the overt acts mentioned
in the indictment will not be made
public at this time, as these move
ments by the ringleaders of the pro-
posed rebellion are still under inves-
tigation. AS already reported in the
an attempt was made to
secure money, men and ammunition
for an uprising in India, which, says
the indictment, was in aid of the
operations of Germany, and
to hinder the military operations of !
Great Britain. AS an illustration of |
how widespread the plot was, the in
1ictment points out that agents were |
sent to India, Southern California |
Germany and Manila. !

u THAT appears to have been a
" conflict of authority as regards
W the arrest of persons who failed
to register for military service, is re-
ported to have been thoroughly
Strengthened out, bringing the regis
tration board, the police, the sheriffs
and deputy sheriffs and federal OF
ficials to a final understanding on
the method of procedure.
That the disposition OF all cases OF
"slackers" rests entirely with the CEN
trail board, and that that body has
the power to say what action shall
be taken, is the information given the
Star Bulletin today by members OF the
board who have been instrumental m
out the roundup" campaign
which went into effect today.
Board to Order Arrests
Among other things, members OF
the board assert that, except IN specl-
fled cases, the federal officials shall
make no arrests unless so directed by
the board. 1t is the duty Of these Of
ficials, says the board, to secure all
possible in cases where
persons have failed to register. This
must be turned in to the
board which will sift it and then reach
a decision as to the disposition Of the
cases.
If it is believed. in any certain
case, that the person wflfully refused
to register, the board will prepare a
proper criminal information which
will be filed with the U. S. attorney.
1t is within the power of the board,
say members, to say whether a case
shall be prosecuted or not. Mem
Ders of the board add that no case
Of local Stacking will reach the fed
eral officials until it has passed
through the hands Of the board.
Another assertion of the board is
hat federal officials may not make
arrests in local cases unless so author
zed by the board, but that these Off
,ials must furnish the board with all
IN cases Of "slackers."

This was the message received to-

of the central board of registration
from Archie Hapai, clerk of Hawaii

events, Green says, in which the su-
pervisors of the Big Island have fig

that the board was very hard to get

seem disposed to do anything to fur

whole hearted support to the work,

r a permanent steamship service be-
tween Honolulu and Seattle, the
steamship Senator Of the Pacific
Steamship Company will leave Seattle
August IL for Honolulu, according &c
letter received by the chamber Of
commerce from the chamber Of COM
merce of Seattle. This IL the first
trip of the Senator to the islands and
it is the intention Of the company to
keep her on regularly II the initial
voyage proves satisfactory. The Sem
ator is well known along the Pacific
coast where she has been in the coast
wise service for a number OF years.
In all probability the Senator will
arrive at this port on or about Aug

ing has not been announced.
An article taken from the Seattle
Post Intelligencer says that the Sens.
tor will carry box shocks for the pine
apple factories and general nierchan-
disc and that on the return voyage Q
cargo Of canned pfneapples Is prom.

The article follows:
"A direct passenger and freight Nnr.

the Senator has q cargo Of pineapple

island products are promised for fu-

w The food control bill today
passed the senate in record
time, the upper house concurring In
tnlittee of conferees, which has had
the bin under consideration for some
time past
According TO the ccnferees' recon-
mendation, control win be under the
supervision Of three heads.
President For One Head
President Wilson has been insistent
that the work should be handled by
one man in supreme control. but II Ia
expected the president will sign the
bin, falling In line with the recon-
mendations made In conference.
The bin as 1t viii be presented to
the president for signature Is mate
rally different from the one originally
introduced, and in certain respects e.
far from meeting with his approval.
As introduced IN the house, Il placed
food control virtually. IN the hands of
one man, who, Il was intended, should
be Herbert C. Hoover, recently at the
head Of the Belgian relief commission.
The bin passed the house In this form,
but when It reached the senate Il was
to q large extent rewritten. As finally
passed by the senate, the measure
placed food control in the United
States In the hands Of q commission
OF three, instead Of entrusting it to |
o single food dictator.
President Wilson made strong ef-
forts 70 have this change eliminated, |
but the senate was obdurate, and
when the bill went to conference, the
house conferees gave In to those from
the senate. The debate ON the meas
ure in the senate was exceedingly
acrimonious ct times.
